Fragrance Reviews by SashaLDN

Disappointed when I tried a sample of this. Very fruity, and not at all what I would expect from 'the new scent of adventure'. There was a strong orange note that remained on the dry down and over-powered all the other notes.

When I say fruity don't think exoticness or subtletly, just a bloated orangey fragrance. It did have good silage, but since I only sampled it once I can't comment properly on its endurance. I won't be sampling it again.

As the manicboy said, it's a rather flimsy fragrance that lacks the alluring power of its big brother Black Pepper shower gel. As I expect most others have done, I bought it after enjoying this luxurious shower gel. With the initial spray you get a spicier and sharper version of the gel, which is at first quite delightful.

However, it has a very short dry down, and after 15-20minutes its given about all it has. From the initial spray it lingers as a watered down Black Pepper gel scent; the pepper notes subdued by the coriander and ginger. It seems that Molton Brown were aiming for a more office-friendly, inoffensive scent that lacks the punchy exoticness of the body wash. And so you end up with an EDT that is only suited to that most drab of adjectives: 'nice'.

It smells nice, and for that reason I used it very frequently as a daily scent. While it isn't characterful, sophisticated or developed, it has a simple spicy appeal. Unfortunately, it also has poor silage. With such a delicate scent, it disappears after 2-3 hours, leaving you with only the faintest whiff on your wrists.

Were it not for its poor staying power, it might have managed a thumbs up. But definately treat yourself to a bottle of the body wash.

Besides being uninspiring or generic as other reviewers had said, I found this scent to be actually abhorrent. I purchased this (as it was so cheap) along with the Boots released FCUK EDTs, in search of one fragrance they'd marketed under the FCUK brand in a very old deodorant I'd received as a gift.

Upon application it wasn't impressive, so I had the initial disappointment and not finding my desired scent and also the regret at the waste of money. I did my best to remain optimistic, however after a short dry down, I was left with this horrible metallic smell wafting from my wrists. Perhaps it was my particular skin chemistry but I had to wash this repulsive fragrance from my wrists immediately. Such a synthetic chemically/metallic smell it was headache inspiring.

You get what you pay for. You can grab a huge "bottle" of this for dirt cheap on the net. But you get a nasty plastic thing filed with watered down nail-polish remover. Maybe I had a dodgy bottle.
