Fragrance Reviews by sbbbjm

despite the fact that everyone and their mother has this scent (though not as popular as the regular Abercrombie, i don't think the teeny boppers can handle something that isn't 75% fresh), i still enjoy it. this stuff is just really manly to me. imagine your in a dense forest of fir trees in the mountains warming up by the fireplace in a blanket or just opening the front door to a snowy morning. its smells of fragrant wood at the beginning then theres a tinge of soapy freshness that seeps its way through after the drydown. its a nice balance of fresh and fragrant wood. the only downside is after about 6 hours the wood fades away and your left with something that smells like some cheap drugstore generic brand. other than that i'm a fan. this is the way clean men should smell!

Chanel is so good at this whole fragrance thing! i'm not usually a fan of fresher colognes (because it seems like everyone and their brother in my generation can only handle the safe fresh stuff i.e. abercrombie, issey, polo sport, curve etc), but this one stood out. its starts off with a tiny bit of spiciness, but overall its equal parts of dry wood/greeness and freshness. the wood/green becomes less pronounced after about an hour and your left with a clean fresh smell with a tinge of wood. this is a very well made fragrance. it develops about 3 times (bit of wood, less wood, no wood but super fresh). last a mighty long time! i put it on one morning and could smell it about 30 hours later (its not really strong, but it has very impressive lasting power). so fresh and so clean, clean!

it starts off an earthy green and a bit fresh and definitely crisp. then the leather and tobacco flower creep up a bit more releasing a more masculine scent. dries down smelling of a warm leather, with a tiny bit of a sweet edge to it. i don't really think of it as powdery though. only complaint i have is that it lasts maybe 2 hours at most. i have to spray lots, like 6 sprays. a light, leathery, warm blend. even though i was expecting something a little more potent and sophisticated seeing that it's named after RL's most coveted men's line of clothing, it's sufficient.
