Fragrance Reviews by Schachman

As part of a two box gift from my colleagues at work, I received this along with Lalique pour Homme Lion. I gave my comments to Lion already (very similar to Polo Sport), but I was equally let down by the similarity of this one to Ferragamo. Yes, once again, sligtly better - but oh just so similar that I don't see the need to have both. Such a pity since I love the bottle... but can't suggest this one any more than Ferragamo. (but I must add, not a bad choice if you don't already have Ferragamo!)

I received this as a Christmas gift from my colleagues at work (as I am known as the fragrance freak! :-) ). I had high hopes for it when I saw the bottle, but I was quickly disappointed (somewhat) once I tried it. In fact, it immidiately hit me that this smells just like Polo Sport. Ok... probably a better version of Polo Sport, but very close. It has a mossy opening, with some fruits up front. They dissappear quickly to a powdery/vanilla middle and base. I like it enough, but Polo Sport is good enough too, don't really need this if you have that!

Very acrid opening. I liked this at first when I smelled it at the duty free, but after buying the bottle and wearing it home, I have to say I don't like this anymore. It seems very linear to me - the biting fruity note (but not a sweet fruity note) mixed with spice. It overpowers my nose and I can't find anything more as it dries down. Definite thumbs down for me.

I also found this at TJMaxx for a good price - and decided to give it a try! In my opinion, it's a great evening frag - I love the neroli, but it's the basenotes that are the best! I don't feel that it's too heavy or overbearing, and in fact refreshing. I've gotten a few compliments from some of my female friends!

The opening is a little rich, but wait a little while for the smooth and creamy base... wonderful!
