    I'm going to go against the grain on this one.
    I like it.
    IMO it's better than that darn Tommy that smells like so many other frags of it's genre.
    The initial spray can be synthetic.
    But I like the drydown and the Papaya.
    Yes, there are similar fragrances out there but 1985 still has some different notes that make it enjoyable for me.
    Silliage is so so.
    Longevity 5 plus hours for me.
    Best For Casual Affair.

    Well, at least this is something different.
    The scent is dominated by a rather synthetic papaya note which is quirky, sharp, slightly metallic, fruity, unfamiliar and persistent. Do I like it? No.
    Green - orange bongos are beating in my brain. Release me from their incessant drumming...

    Damn you Tommy Hilfiger! This stuff is not good! With such good releases like Tommy, True Star and T, amongst others.. I was expecting a little more.

    Bought it at Wal-Mart on sale for 15 bucks, and returned it.. Ya it was THAT bad. I know I used the term "chemical" often when defining the quality of these cheapies, and this once is now exception. Rightfully so.. this is VERY chemical; both in smell and feel.

    The opening is a harsh citrus, fruity, spicy, woodsy mix infused with ginger and synthetic smelling floral notes. As if you couldn't tell by the note pyramid.. this stuff is all over the place. But it's also very well blended; which makes it hard to detect individual notes. Even when I look at the pyramid, I don't get most of those notes individually. Instead, I get a poorly done combination of 20-30 top notes that you'd find in various mainstream designer fragrances, shoved in a blender with a bunch of electronics. Blended together and BOOM.. they catch on fire. If this confuses you, let me make it simple. 1985 smells like a mix of the most synthetic smelling top notes imaginable and a bunch of electronics set of fire (giving out that "burnt/fried" circuit" accord).

    I'm sure it's just a matter of time before they discontinue this catastrophe. While it's completely unwearable, it doesn't smell putrid. There is a tea note that shines through eventually, the ginger accord is ok once it simmers down, and as it dries it becomes a little better. But, for the most part, this is an accident.

    This one just screams out to me, eh. Nothing new, nothing fantastic, just not bad. Spicy citrus up top, leading to a fairly linear drydown. Longevity isn't great, maybe 4-5 hours if that. Good for teenagers who just want to smell good and pleasant.

    Surprised by the hate of this fragrance. Maybe I'm a sucker to its marketing; the bottle is one of the best I've seen. Meanwhile, its fresh, citrisy, and is an American version of Versace's "signature" fragrance. Its opening is a tad more complex and zesty, and maybe less fresh. A fresh new addition to Tommy. Its only "generic" because its fresh.

    Bland washed-out opening leading to an underwhelming base. Not worthy of much comment, what were they thinking?
