Ed Hardy Man (2008)
by Christian Audigier

This stuff is sooo good that I tracked down the scent at work. A young man came forward and admitted that it was he who smelled great! Everyone else (women) agreed. Something about this fragrance makes me think of Mitsouko. OK. It is not Mitsouko (what is?), but it has just enough sillage and staying power to make my day! It is one of those fragrances that may not be inspiring, but it is pleasant and certainly appropriate for the work environment. Not too sweet, not too tart, not too mossy...it hits that dead center that is comfortable. I know that I will be buying this as Christmas gifts. Maybe I'll get some for my husband so that I can occasionally spritz myself. He doesn't know it yet, but he is also getting Bulgari Black!

Ed Hardy Man opens with an interesting accord that is made up of citrus, mace and mint. This citrus, mace, mint combination is unique, interesting, and very enjoyable: The accord contains all the characteristics of its ingredients… it is warm, cool, textured, edgy, safe, fresh, and softly masculine. The musk and wood from the base, first tweak the basic opening accord with a bit of drama, but after a while the base becomes very traditionally woody. I find this an interesting and admirable fragrance. The vicious tiger on the packaging doesn’t quite fit the character of the fragrance because Ed Hardy Man is a rather discreet, comfortable, agreeable experience.

An unoriginal, but reasonably well executed cream puff fragrance that seems intent on being inoffensive in every way it can. There is very little development,, although it does improve beyond the confectionary top notes. Once in its stride, its a polite fruit candy and soft wood excusion lasting about 4 hours. Not really worth wasting too much time over.

Very generic and uninspiring, lasts maybe 2h on me. Got few samplers and sure as hell I'm not buying this.
Neutral because It's not bad frag at all, just very boring.

I think this is ok, I bought it and gave it to my son and he loves it. lasted about 8 hrs on me recieved a few compliments while wearing it but I really don't care much for it, I think love & luck is a the better E.Hardy fragrance.

I tired this the other day, And it saddens me I think I found something that is going to replace Issey Miyake for me. At first that's what I thought, but have to agree, it's chalky smell is a little "different".. Nevermind
