Fruity bug spray?
Who would've thought.
Avoid it like the plague. I actually had a few decent frags sprayed on my arms today & this rubbish took over.

One of the most underrated fragrances in mens perfumery.

The top notes smell like a mix of muscle-rub and Thierry Mugler Angel, before settling into a mix of aquatic (think dry-down of Bvlgari Aqua) and smooth iced mocca, with the top notes of Angel still there (honestly, this smells similar to the Women's Angel without the heady floral notes and extreme price tag).

Its refreshing, a very, very light gourmand, and would be absolutely delightful throughout spring to a very warm summers day. Over 40ºC might be pushing it though, as the coffee might be too much. Definately casual or going out, and probably more suited to a 'younger generation.' If you enjoy A*men but find the tarry-dark chocolate notes in the dry-down too much or sickening, please try this; you might be pleasantly surprised (as I was).

Longevity is above average. If you suffer from dry skin, as I do in winter, please try this 20 minutes after showerig - otherwise your skin will absorb most of it and you'll be asking why you bothered. (I bought a bottle, got home excited, had a shower, sprayed it on and it was gone within an hour or 2 - yet I woke up the next morning and it was back with a vengence!) Sillage is good too, I sprayed it once on my wrist and was smelling it 5 hours after.

Very similar to Joop! Nightflight (citrus, clean laundry) but not as outgoing, different or refreshing.
Also not particularly good longevity.
It is still very nice smelling, however I wouldn't buy a bottle when I already own 2 bottles of Nightflight.

I have to agree with SirSlarty. This starts out very sharp, much like a massage oil I purchased. Heavy on Ylang ylang. The middle and basenotes remind me somewhat of Nino Cerruti pour homme, which definately wasnt my thing. I have to go neutral on this; I see what its trying to do, but it doesnt suit me. Also longevity felt rather lacking for an EDP (2-3 hours, its just there after 3)

Where can I begin. I have a very intimate history with this fragrance, in fact I went through 7/8ths of a 125ml bottle in the first ~6 months with my now long-term girlfriend, and I have a 75 ml bottle in my wardrobe at present, and am considerring buying another.

The initial blast is strong. Lemon, pineapple and something else I cant put my finger on. It is certainly fresh, fresher than anything I've ever smelt. Aquatics and citrus colognes have nothing on this; not even L'eau d'Issey, Aqua di Gio or any of the numerous 'fresh aquatic' brigade can begin to start on this fragrances freshness. Its a perfect morning 'picker upper,' even if your hungover.

The next stage is even more sensual; aromatic whiffs like a finely aged spirit. Its also quite dry, and dare I say its good for clearing out the nostrils.

The last stage is bliss; a woody, ambery, even slightly sandalwood-y fragrance that intensifies immensely with body heat and sweat. I've found that when I wear this, in 'passionate moments' Nightflight really starts to shine.

This is probably the 1 fragrance that suits me most in my wardrobe, and I am considering buying at least 2-3 bottles as 'backups.' For the price you can get it for on ebay, its just ridiculous.

My absolute favorite. 10/10.

I find this immensely cloying, just like Diesel Plus Plus. Smells like someone ate a big batch of cinamonn and pot pourri, let it half digest, then regurgitated it and put it in a bottle. Yuck.

Innoffensive, cut grass, citrus, 'green' top notes with a dry down to a very pleasant white musk & slight vetiver. Definately good for warmer weather (Australia) or for days when you just want something light, fresh and absolutely pleasant. Smells great right out of the shower. Longevity is a little below average, but that can be solved with over-applying or taking a decant with you. If you can find a bottle cheap, buy it. I have 2 splash bottles, and every time I wear it I'm tempted to go back for a 3rd.

If you like light blue, but want a males version, try Black XS by Paco Rabanne - its actually designed by the same person, and the top notes are very similar, but the dry downs are entirely different.

That said, I'll agree with the others. Theres nothing wrong with this scent, but theres also nothing that sets it apart either. But some people want that, and thats OK - but you will get alot more attention and alot more self satisfaction from the thousands upon thousands more varied, outgoing, vivacious and delightful products being peddled by other companies.

Very sweet, EXTREMELY potent at first but once it dies down it smells great. You really have to try it on your skin to get an idea though, because you wont get all the notes on a tester card. Definitely not something you'd wear for your daily in the Australian summer though, its far too sweet and strong for that. Apply it sparingly the first few wears otherwise you will give yourself a headache; if over-applied its quite cloying, so you need to experiment a little to find out what works with your skin. Some days it will last 9 hours on me, some days only 1 or 2.

On my skin, I get a big blast of lemon at first mixed with berries, then once it dries a little, you definately get the praline mixed with berries, and after about 30 mins (I have quite dry & absorbent skin so things settle to their 'base' on me very quickly) I get berries mixed with patchoulli and a very slight 'woodyness.' The main standout is definately the berries, giving the scent its sweetness. Also, the top notes smell ALOT like Light Blue (the female version!) by D & G, so if your significant other likes it get them to consider that for themselves. Once they both settle they are entirely different though

2 thumbs up, just be careful applying it, you don't want to choke your partner!
