Fragrance Reviews by leviticus

A wonderfully designed and complex fragrance. It was mentioned earlier that the signature "Pi" note is contained in this fragrance; couldn't have said it better. I will say that the drydown, like the original Pi, is amazing, powerful yet subtle. This didn't seem to do too well on my skin, however, but that doesn't negate the fact that it smells wonderfully on other people. I took my buddy cologne shopping yesterday and I suggested he try this one. He bought it on the spot. Sure to fly off the shelves when it officially gets released next month. If you're a fan of Pi and consider yourself to be an overall fresh scent person, this fragrance is for you. Do in fact try it on yourself and let it drydown for a while before you decide to buy.

When I first smelled L'Eau D'Issey I wasn't all too thrilled with it. Then the smell grew on me. I added it to my collection and noticed almost immediately thereafter that girls were now standing a lot closer to me as I waited in line, or stood in the elevator. They would even sit closer to me in class!!!

Overall, I strongly that this is one of the overall best men's fragrances. The notes are seamlessly balanced, and the drydown is nothing short of stellar. L'Eau D'Issey has an energy, a 'zing' that makes its wearer stand out. This is really powerful stuff. The key to this fragrance is the drydown. I sprayed it yesterday at noon before going to a party at 2 pm. A girl complemented me on my smell 9 hours later!!! Don't let the strong citrus of initial application fool you; give it some time and let the good times roll!

Acqua di Giò is one of the best fragrances on the market today. The notes are perfectly balanced, and when applied properly, it quickly becomes one of the most fresh and seductive scents. I recommend that you spray this at least 15-30 minutes before you plan on going out, as it takes that amount of time for the scent to really smell good. I never fail to get TONS of complements from the ladies! One girl was so obsessed with the scent that she told me she stole her brother's bottle and sprayed it on her wrist before going to bed so that she could fall asleep smelling Acqua di Giò!!

Unfortunately, as many of the reviewers have also mentioned, this fragrance is MUCH overused by young adults, especially those in college like myself. I never fail to smell it on at least 10 people when in a nightclub scenario. What a shame. Everybody wears it. Everyone knows about it. But if your like me, I refuse to not wear this scent just because everyone knows it by name; it's that great. So, how exactly does a guy go about wearing such an amazing fragrance and at the same time avoid smelling just like everybody else?

I recommend that this fragrance be added to your arsenal of great scents that smell great with your natural scent, but you must be tactful about when you use it. My style is to change things up a bit; keep them guessing. Seriously. It may seem extremely obvious, but you'll be surprised how you'll keep reaching for the same fragrance to use in the same situation every time it comes up. You may use the same fragrance when you go clubbing, or when you go to a bar, or to class. When you find yourself making those situational associations, force yourself to try something new. I love it when I sit next to a girl in class and I'm wearing Very Cool by Tommy Bahama one day and then the next day I'm wearing Cool Water by Davidoff. I actually catch her moving closer to me momentarily just to find out what I smell like!

These are just my thoughts. I hope they help...
