Fragrance Reviews by DULLAH

The other reviewers who compare this to Davidoff Cool Water are right.
A richer, more floral version of Cool Water.
Still, very very similar.
I like them both.

Forever a modern Classic.
IDC if it was a copy.

If anything, I'd like the OG Cool Water with a heavier dose of leafy mint.

I've eaten something like this before.
And it's not dark chocalte, Vanilla, or truffles...?...hmm...

This maybe could work on the right girl.
It's edible, sweet, but not soft enough, the base is too dark, thick, and cloying.

A fresher, softer version is in order.

I agree with most of the positive reviews.

Yes, Chrome is very synthetic (like other Azzaro)
But it is so soft and pleasant, not what is assumed of Synthetics.

Yes, it is also very plain, but this is not necessarily bad.

Fresh laundry clean smell, good (and inoffensive) sillage, lasts and lasts, and is also very linear (another thing I view as positive).

There are better "Generic fresh" type of colognes (dunhill fresh), but this came out 10 years ago.

I think if less wore this it would get more play here.

Very soft, very classy, almost feminine Vetiver scent.

Also very soapy.

I may be alone, but as far as being a man's cologne, I prefer Creed's Original Vetiver by a vary large margin.

I think this Vetiver would be better with Iris, Rose, Marigold, and some very soft florals, flipped into a feminine scent.

Still, it is very classy and well done.

Much better than I had expected.
This is my 3rd favorite Creed.

The top is extra-ordinarily good, but the base is little more than the Creed house note to my nose.
Still, the notes are all so good it's hard to not like alot.

Both thumbs up.

A very well done, very simple fragrance.
To me, it smells like a unisex version of AOS-Sandalwood, both with the clean bright top, and a Sandalwood base that's not the dark rich type of Sandalwood. More a light and creamy Sandalwood.

Worlds better than Creed's other "Santal"

Imagine eating am extremely spicy sweet snack, then peeling on orange, while walking through the bird cage at the zoo.

Then you exit the bird cage and catch a handfull of Gorilla Gung-Gung on your pants leg.

I assume Nieman Marcus wouldn't keep a spoiled tester on the floor?

Wow!, what a strange and complex cologne!
Much more complex than some of the other reviews give it credit for!

10% Joop.

20% GRANDMA's HOUSE YEA !!

20% Hospital Toilet.

20% Cheap 1950's Aftershave.

20% Armor All Dashboard Shine.

2.5% Mercury.

5% Astronaut Toilet.

2.5% Actual Aluminum.

=100% Bad

Eww.

Another one of the better "fresh" girl's perfumes.

It's not mega-nasty flowery(which is always a turn off for me), just nice and soft and clean.

Both this and Un Jardin Sur Le Nil are two of my favorites.
Thumbs up.

Delicious, without smelling like candy.
No obnoxiously loud flowers either, just very delicate & clean florals.

Grapefruit is a little sour before the drydown, but other than that, very good.
I like this alot, a whole lot.

Both thumbs way way up.

If Creed could make this scent linear, I would buy it.

It is perfect citrus/rose when the bergamot and lemon are strong.
Then once the top notes fade, the rose is naked and too feminine.

I think though it's not possible (due to volatile nature) for a Citrus dominant fragrance to be linear?

Beautiful bottle and name, but this is very very unimpressive.

Maybe suitable as a female sport scent?

They should not have named this Original Santal.

I very much know distinctively high quality Sandalwwod, and this is none of it.

This is a classier Joop, and that is still very bad.

I think this would be very good for those who want a fresh version of something like Terre D'Hermes or Rocabar.

For me though, It doesn't justify near the price.
Well done though, like nearly all the Creed Colognes.

Like Erolfa, I expected more from this.
The bottle and name are beautiful, but the scent is dominated by Lime Initially, and the drydown is not enough Coconut or Hibiscus I think.

It's a very good unisex cologne, but for the price consumer deserves a stronger, richer version of the same scent.

This is great cologne.
Combine all the good timeless smells from all the old colognes (Polo Green, Aramis, Santos, Canoe, Armani pour Homme, Old Spice, etc.), and leave out all the dated bad smells...

= Bois Du Portugal

Probably will end up as the only "Traditional" cologne I ever buy.

This may be my 2nd favorite cologne.
Both thumbs way way up.

(New Version)
Wow, very impressed.
The hot spice and sweet spice, and green roots blend so well together it smells like a single scent.
Like the better cousin to cloves.
And just enough citrus and sweetness, not too much.
My favorite of all the Vetiver colognes by a wide Margin.

Drop an Island in the middle of Utah's Salt Lake.
Plant a Lemon Orchard on that Island.
Plant white flowers around the orchard.
I was expecting alot more.
I still prefer the dark saltwater bay overun by greens & seaweed of Bvlgari Aqva

Erolfa still very pleasant and well done. I give it neutral for price>scent

Very unlike other men's Vetiver colognes.
Well done, sweet, citrusy, and soapy, but not feminine.
Thumbs up.

Y'all were right.
Lime, lemon Pledge, and cigarettes.
Not for me.

I've been in the sky.
No chlorine or Dishsoap there.

"Grape" quarter water. ha.
Good scent for a female, cause it's not too flowery or powdery, just sweet.

It's alright.
Not too sweet, but a little too much flowers.
Also I smell fresh cut Green Bell & Poblano Peppers.
It's cool. Different.

Smells exactly like what's used to soften cow's udders

Bag Balm/Udder Balm.

No good.

Well done aquatic.
Not crystal clear tropical blue water.
A dark saltwater bay with lots of greens & seaweed.

Gourmet Pool Chlorine.

Mocha-Chocalate covered lime-blossoms ?
It's for men ?
Ok.

Tangerine Coffee?
Ok that's cool.

This would smell great on a female.
Almond-extract type smell, very soft, very pleasant.

A much lighter softer version of Armani pour homme or Bowling Green.

I like it.

The base is very good, but the florals ruin it.
Cross Canali & Very Valentino, then make it bad.
Nice looking bottle, name, etc.

rodent's review is not overstating it.
F- for the windex note.
Absolutely horrible.

Ralph lauren's colognes almost always seem to appeal to me, but some of his newer stuff put me off.

Double Black didn't.
I like it alot.
Very well done.
Almost every aspect of it I like, besides maybe one sharp green note it shares with alot of other colognes.
That one note sticks out past the coffee & earthy flavors. It shouldn't.
I'm new to knowing cologne, but I guess it's the Juniper is just slightly too strong.
Almost everything else is very very good. I'll probably buy this.
Thumbs up.

My all-time favorite cologne. Still.
It does everything right for me.
Super fresh and clean without a trace of cleaning products :)
Pleasantly and Mildly spicy and tart.
Just barely enough sweetness to the mild citrus/fruit.
A hint of woods and fresh greens.
Effervescent/minty without coming off sharp/offensive.
And most important, realistically and genuinely AQUATIC without being cold or sterile. No trace of chlorine, fake olfactory freeze FX, or powdery "aquatic florals".
Just a very clean, refreshing, genuine, organic sea essence.

Still my absolute favorite cologne no question. Both thumbs way up. Now they need to make a dark oriental I like as much as this :)

Even though I don't like it, this is the best of all the Evergreen colognes.
There is a sense of refinement and pleasant undertone that makes the over-powering Juniper and Pine tolerable.

I wouldn't wear it, but it's still the best Evergreen cologne I've smelled.

Normally, Ralph Lauren colognes agree with me more than any other brand.

Not here.
The Mango is good, but alot of the rest is too sharp and bright to be called black.
To me, this smells more like POLO CHROME, or POLO ALUMINUM.

There are multiple notes that disagree with me alot.
Thumbs down.

Very well done.
An old man's HUGO.
A little heavier low end, and a little less of the powdery floral would have improved it IMHO.
Still a very well done cologne.

Nothing is wrong with this cologne.
Nothing out of place, or too strong.
It's simple, clean, and fresh.
Matches the bottle and color. No more.
Dunhill Fresh I think still has an edge on Polo Blue, as top of the "Plain Blue" Colognes.
On the good side of neutral for simplicity.

Very plain, clean aquatic fresh.
Doesn't come off generic though.
This is by a wide margin my favorite fresh aquatic yet.
Nothing smells cheap or out of place.
Very plain, very good.

Bowling Green ?
It's bowling Green without the air filter box.
Fresh and classy.
Thumbs up.

Another good looking bottle.
Good scent to match.
Sweet funk grunge.
Like it alot.

A+ for Varvatos.
Thumbs way way up.

The original bottle (not the black ducati bottle) is IMO one of the best looking bottles ever.

However, Initially or on drydown, I can't get past the Windex notes (original & vinegar)

Sterile, hospital grade, stand-offish fresh. Thumbs way down. Beautiful bottle though.

Very good, clean, and strong initially.
Once dry, Smells like sweet green relish (yup, hot dog relish) for the next 4 hours.
Clean, but much too sweetness.
