Fragrance Reviews by AlexanderRex

I bought a bottle of this (untried) on sale for $20. Considering that Paradise for Men only lasts about 2 hours on my skin, I think I got ripped off. Knock offs last longer than this.

Were it not for its terrible longevity, this would be a great summer scent. Sweet, but not cloying. The Papaya fragrance comes on well, but doesn't deliver a knock out punch to the nose. I can smell Grapefruit in here, but have never had Paradise last long enough to really detect its reported base notes of Patchouli, Sandalwood and Musk.

I have to give this a thumbs down. It would be a great scent if it could hold on for 4 hours, but it's a sprinter, not a marathon runner.

My nose is not yet trained, but I love Euphoria. The top notes are sharp (fresh floral scents), and the base notes mellow and cozy (suede accented by vanilla). I find it to be an autumn fragrance, or (here in Canada), cool summer evenings. Like every other CK scent I've ever tried, this lasts for hours (probably why I'm such a huge fan of CK's stuff). I've had girls compliment me on Euphoria (and every other CK scent) 6 to 8 hours after I've applied it.

Bamacharm asked for other scents with Suede as a base note. I can think of two immediately whose base notes are similar to Euphoria. Obsession Night For Men, which is Suede and Vanilla (it honestly smells almost identical to Euphoria once it has dried down), or Guess Suede which is almost completely suede. These are two other beautiful scents.

Thumbs up for CK Euphoria.

One word. "Meh". It just smells cheap. I don't know if it's the similarity to Drakkar Noir or what, but I found this at a discount store for $13 and I think I overpaid.

Mine is a novice nose, and even though I've owned Eternity for years, I still can't figure it out. Someone else mentioned that the top notes don't 'match' the base notes. I really can't think of a better way to explain Eternity. It's an enigma, and not an entirely pleasant one. I can't see myself buying this scent again.

I used to wear Quorum when I was 19. I remember my manager told me "That scent doesn't suit you". Now I know why. Quorum is meant for the 40+ sophisticated crowd, not the under-25-still-partying type of man. There is no question, this scent is extremely assertive and dominant. It knocks you on the floor and orders you to stay down. Not simply because of how strong it is (one spray and you're good to go), but simply because of how masculine and dominant it is. The top notes are very spicy (perhaps a little TOO spicy), but it dries down into a beautiful tobacco scent. Don't be afraid of Quorum ... just ... be careful with it.

I agree with foetidus. Obsession Night for Men is absolutely no relation to Obsession for Men. OFM is a very spicy fragrance, whereas Obsession Night For Men is strong on pear with the slightest touch of cardamom. It dries down beautifully and has excellent longevity. Unlike the original Obsession For Men, ONFM can be worn on warm summer night without being overbearing or cloying. I love this fragrance.

Ah, Obsession for Men. I absolutely adore this scent. It goes on sweet and dries down into a mellow amber tone. This is a classic. It's definitely a winter scent though ... no way can you wear this in the heat of summer.

Mine is a novice nose, but there's definitely something special about Quorum Silver. I loved the original Quorum and when I saw this at a local retailer, I thought I'd try it. I was expecting an assertive, dominant scent not unlike the original. What I got was a pleasant but masculine fragrance. It dries down well, and its longevity is excellent. I'm becoming a big fan of Puig's fragrances, and hey ... for the price, how can you lose?
