Fragrance Reviews by Rashkae

Hmmm... This scent is a big disappointment to me. At first, it smells exactly like a tutti-fruity Kool-aid sdrink mix. Just open a canister of the juice powder and sniff. That's Chypre Rouge.

After a while, it settles a bit and the Patchouli and Vanilla come through juuuuuust a little. But it's still sickeningly sweet, like Diptyque's Eau D'Elide.

Wow, what a great, complex scent!! In many ways, it seems to have a similarity to Vetiver Extraordinaire... But with less of the earthy smell and more of the spices. Lovely.

Oh wow... Quite a surprise to find this re-launched in 2006 as a limited edition set! Smells like a smoother D&G PH with a dash of cinnamon. Awesome scent, wonderful bath gel!!!

A very fresh, very well-done lavender. Be aware though that in hot weather, the lavender can really take over. Best worn in cooler weather, where the smooth dry-down can really come out and play.

A very light, very fresh fragrance... Very soothing patchouli and sandalwood. Great longevity!

At first, the cardamom and pepper blast you in the face and you wonder what could be so good about this fragrance. Then it mellows down to a musky wood with just a hint of spice. Quite a great fragrance, but be careful in warm weather... Sunlight just brings the pepper right back to life with a powerful blast!

Eh. It's not bad. But on me it smells like a fresh diaper. Sorta powedery. Smells good on others though.

Holy heck!!! I'm really glad I got this on a "blind buy recommendation" from a friend. Absolutely fantastic, like a smooth Gucci PH. Leather, Cedar, Coriander... Wow!!!

What a wonderful frag! It starts off with a blast that reminds me of Eau Sauvage, but then quickly settles to a smooth, gentle Patchouli. Wonderfully done!

I didn't quite get the incense note in this, though this could be due to skin chemistry. It's a nice scent, slightly floral, but longevity is poor for such an expensive frag.

This is not a "Black" scent at all... Rather, it reminds me of Acqua di Gio with a synthetic, woody note. girls like it though... Go figure.

I don't knwo what is is... The smooth caramel, the gentle, perfect iris scent... But somehow, Dior Homme has managed to get the smell and feeling of freshly washed silk sheets, and all the sexy erotic imagery that entails, and bottled it. It's great. I like it. Girls like it.

Oh yeah. Hail to the king! Man, this is one of those fragrances that need a "walk through the mist" application, but by god it gets the girls drooling! Just be careful how much you apply... I really can understand the people who say it smells like piss or urinal cakes, but if you squirt this from a distance you'll be fine

Lovely scent for an evening out at a formal restaurant... It just oozes class. :)

I love the original Kouros for it's blatant in-your-face sexuality... Kouros Cologne Sport turns it into a gentle, fresh seduction.

Man this stuff is great. It's a slightly smoky vanilla-like scent with a hint of rubber, like a formula1 car driving through a vanilla patch.

As many have mentioned before, it's not really an "Aqua" scent. Boss Elements Aqua is *much* better in that regard. But it is a nice, slightly floral yet masculine oriental. Not bad at all, but not outstanding or unique. I got a good deal on a bundle, so I'm not regretting my purchase. It won't be high on my rotation list though.

This is a really great fragrance! It's warm but mellow, very sexy and mysterious. An excellent, excellent scent with great longevity. Go easy on the squirts though, or you'll OD and it'll go bad. 2-3 squirts will last all day and envelop you in a soothing, yet at the same time dark and mysterious cloud of sexyness.

It's quite a unique scent, and always brings back memories of High School, where i wore this... It's strong, has great longevity and is very unique. Just doesn't work too well in warm weather.

Ugh, this stuff is awful. It smells like the cheapest green-apple candy you can find. I suppose this scent may appeal to 8-year-olds.

Totally agree with iMaverick... It's like the original, but much, much fresher. Great for warmer climates, like Singapore. :)

Interesting, but i honestly find it too citrussy. I prefer the "normal" Fahrenheit Summer.

Very old. Very classy. Nowadays, very unique. Too bad the smell of soap after my shower lasts longer than this.

A very mixed scent.. On one hand, i find it to be quite ordinary... Yet for some reson, girls can pick out this scent in a crowd, and then they'll home in on you.

Oh, lovely. Starts out woody, then settles to a wonderfully musky, masculine smell. Perfect for quiet dates, when you *want* the girl to cuddle up to your and not let go. Fantastic, classy. And the bottle is so huge and heavy that it makes for a great self-defense tool too! ;)

Ugh. This scent is the classic "Dirty old man" cologne. Just waaaaay too 70's!

Very interesting scent... At first it smells fairly normal and boring, nothing special... But give it 30 minutes, let it dry down, then notice the girls start sniffing the air when you walk past. Worth it! :)

This is definitely a hit-or-miss scent... Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I honestly prefer Fahrenheit Summer over this.

Ugh. Way too sweet, cloyingly so, and absolutely horrible in warm climates. But i got to hand it to them... This is the one Armani scent with great longevity. 2 squirts last all day, which, unfortunately, is not a good thing. :P

Just got this fragrance in the Philippines, and i must agree... Very fresh, very light, very refreshing. You need to SWIM in it for it to have any projection, but once the girls smell it, they get drawn to you like bees to a flower. :)

A lot of people will say this scent smells generic... I DISAGREE! It's definitely one of the "powdery" scents, but one of the BEST I've tried! It smells fresh, clean, and just lasts and lasts and lasts... I sprayed a tiny bit on my arm at the SF airport to test how it mixes with my skin, and by the time i got to Singapore (22 hours later) the scent was still strong enough for me to smell it when I moved my arm. I immediately bought a 125ml bottle. Great, fresh, gets compliments, and lasts all day... Thank you Guerlain!

Awful! It's so sickeningly sweet I'm surprised people wearing it haven't been attacked by swarms of bees and whole ant colonies! One of the worst fragrances I've smelled.

Ugh! Too cloyingly sweet! Reminded me of day-old cotton candy.

Quite a great, fresh scent! It's a lot like a good, smoother version of Pleasures with good longevity!

A lot like the original Deep, but cloyingly sweet. Much stronger citrus note, and it reacts horribly to hot weather. Ironic when you consider that this is supposed to be a "summer" scent.

Nothing original in this scent, and i find it too sweet and annoying. It's not one of the scents that would turn heads in a good way.

Not a bad scent... But it reminds me of a mix between "Cool Water" and "Aqua Di Gio", which basically means you don't stand out at all and the scent just blends in with everyone else.

Great bottle, cool name, awful smell. If you want to know what it smells like, imagine a nice, cool autumn day... Then grab a handful of old, rotting leaves and stick your nose in them. It's like mixing pepper with wood shavings. Awful waste of a great packaging.

This cologne starts out great, then settles to a cloying, sticky smell. Awful stuff. Give me Pleasures anyday over this.

A really classy scent, absolutely great. But such poor longevity... It's almost like i need to bathe in the stuff just to get it to last the day.
A careful note: Be careful what soap you shower with before you put on this cologne. Using neutrogena, Fa sport or Boss Aqua soap works fantastic with this cologne. If you used a more floral soap, it can mix pretty badly.

A wonderfully unique scent. Somewhat sharp, strong citrus smell, but it doesn't smell like the run-of-the-mill citrus scents. Good stuff.

Hmm. Not so sure why Pleasures has gotten such bad reviews. Maybe it's the hot and humid climate I live in, but Pleasures smells GREAT! The girls love it. Some of my female friends will try to sit next to me on the trains just to get a whiff of this stuff.
I do agree that the longevity is poor though. :(

Starts great, then dries down to something like spoiled grapefruit juice. Awful scent on skin, but great as a room/closet freshener.

Not a bad scent for beginners, but it has poor lasting power and is far too citrusy. Nothing spectacular or memorable.

A wonderfully "powdery" scent that lasts ages and works well in the tropics, unlike Burberry "Touch" which goes sour.
Ironically, "Touch" is supposed to be less citrusy, yet in the heat and humidity of where i live, "Brit" smells like fresh powder all day and "Touch" smells like old orange juice.

I totally agree with madgradrx... This scent is so variable it drives me nuts sometimes!
It's very much a "cold weather" cologne. I live in the tropics, and Touch just reacts badly to heat and humidity. It's not a bad scent, but Brit and Pleasures do much, much better in my climate.

It's a rather standard, everyday scent. You'll never stand out in a good way... Most girls recognize it on the spot. For some that's a good thing (a lot of girls like Cool Water a lot), but you'll never have that "unique" scent that many girls will remember you by. If you buy this, be prepared to blend in with the masses.

This is definitely a rather unique scent. At first somewhat harsh and strong grapefruit scent, then as it dries down... Vanilla-hazelnut latte that lasts and lasts. There's no other way to describe it, really. It's a very "tasty" scent that just WORKS! Girls love it. When on the train, it's so different from the "normal" smells of Cool Water, Boss Blue, Clinique's Happy and Aqua Di Gio that it really attracts the right sort of attention. :)
