Fragrance Reviews by Nick Newalani

My first thought when seeing this fragrance was "Cool Bottle!" The down side to it however is that it doesn't really scream practicality... I did however love the fragrance. This scent starts out with a burst of freshness that is almost eye-watering in intensity but gradually levels out into a sweet, slightly green scent that is definitely an attention getter. I did get a few comments about it as I walked down the hallways at work and all were positive. I do feel that the initial burst of 'fresh' may irritate a few sinus passages. The combination of berries, citrus and wood is not a bad combination of ingredients but i suspect that this is a fragrance that may react wildly differently on different individuals. I like the total feel of it though and give it a thumbs up!

I got a bottle of Issey Intense as a birthday gift this year and I absolutely love the stuff! The beauty of this fragrance reveals itself at night when it just seems to come alive. The initial application has a citrus feel that after about twenty minutes fades into incense and spices. The base fir me is the most amazing part of this fragrance. It has this feel of exotic wood smouldering with spices into it. WOW! Issey Intense unfolds like a mystical concerto of notes and its difficult to say when each note starts but its almost like you accidentally realise that you smell sexy during the day and it just brings a smile to your face. Almost like "Wow! Thats me!" It has excellent longevity and in my opinion smells the best very late in the drydown.

My first experience with Old Spice was smelling it after my dad shaved. Wow! I got a bottle of the stuff and the nostalgia was amazing!

A wonderful, warm fragrance that starts off citrusy and settles into a comfortable, woody, spicy feeling on your skin. What grabs me about this fragrance is that its very unique and I get lots of attention when wearing it! The coup de grace of this fragrance is that it just feels very classy and it just oozes style from the second you put it on. Its masculine and definitely unforgettable. I cant wait to try it out in summer!
