Fragrance Reviews by Words

Hilfiger Athletics, one of the premier and longer lasting citrus scents around (although now discontinued). It has a very sharp/citrusy opening, which I think might be the White Grapefruit. The topnotes stay with you all the way to the drydown. If you're looking for a fragrance for the Summer and you dont want to reapply throughout the day, then Athletics is a must.

As much as Candie's is disliked by Men, it's liked that much more by Women. Honestly, I've received more compliments from this "jolly rancher" than I have all of my other scents combined. Greens and sweet candy, in this price range, it really is a sleeper that turns heads.

This could very easily pass as a mint mouthwash. And the clear blue bottle doesn't help you shake that feeling, either. Sitting there, having sprayed a few sprays on my shirt, I kept getting an occasional whiff of Eau D'Ete and remember thinking, "hmmm... mouthwash?" Very minty and clean. Pretty good sillage for a Summer version. I really cant imagine using this at any other time than in the soaring temps of an Indian Summer.

Watermelon at it's best! A much better version of Kenneth Cole's Reaction. Just take out the Sour Apple note and add 3-4 more hours of longevity and you have Orphee. A definite winner for the Summer months!

Upon owning Yang for a few months, I have to say that I just dont smell the tea in it. Now it's very possible that I just need to revisit the smell of a nice cup of green tea, but to me, it's just a very good green/oriental fragrance that literally lasts all day. Dont over-do it with Yang either, it's one of those less is best scents that thrives in the colder months.

I see some complaining about the originality and distinctiveness of 212. Well, I'm a "fresh scent" junkie and have yet to come across anything similar to this one. Citrus, Fresh cut Grass, and Pepper notes done so well.

Like AdG, it's probably disliked more for it's popularity than anything, but make no mistake about it, it really is a quality frag.

Sweet sweet citric candy. Such a thick sweetness, go with 2 sprays and you're set for the day. It's funny to see people describe it as lifesaver-like, because that's exactly what comes to mind when Oyedo is first sprayed. Orange lifesaver, indeed. A great scent, but difficult to wear as an everyday-citrus.

Spring is the first thing that comes to mind when I spritz Image out of it's whistle. Everything good that you associate with Spring. And it is not like every other scent from it's time, go into it with an open mind and you will see for yourself. Very clean, very sweet, very light, and with a surprisingly noticeable root beer note in the heart. Perfect for casual use and for someone who doesn't have to use a cologne to make them stand out. Use it generously, it wont offend,

Not sure why Be Delicious is getting such bad reviews... It's different, somewhat Celery topnotes, Coffee in the middle and a nice Woody drydown. One of the better releases for 2005.

Metal Jeans is an all-time classic fruity scent. A very citric opening from the Grapefruit and Tangerine notes, and then the fruity Watermelon starts to kick in quickly after. Surprisingly unique and now that it's been discontinued, very hard to find. If you can find a bottle, dont hesitate to buy. Perfect in warm weather.

This actually IS the yellow/green edition (2004). The orange bottle is for 2005.

Better than the original, and one of my all-time favorite Summer selections.

There used to be about 20 positive reviews for CK Summer 04, but I'm not sure why they were deleted... they shouldnt have been because they were very telling in just how great this cologne is.

Yes, beware of Aramis Surface... be very aware! Incredible cool orange scent that manages to separate itself from other orange aquatic frags. Not alot of people know about Surface, sadly it's been discontinued. IMO, it truly is the best warm weather scent around.

Light, soapy, and extremely fresh. Has a subtle marine accord throughout. Quite possibly the best Summer version of any cologne I've ever tried. Absolute perfection!

No, no, no. Didnt work at all on my skin. The first minute or so it's a very nice orange scent and then turns into an old smelling orange potpourri. A very old smelling frag for one that was introduced just a year ago. I wanted to like it so much, but was very disappointed.

One of the darker "fresh" scents I've encountered. I think it's the somewhat smokey dry-down that makes it feel this way. I also get the Cola note all the way through, which adds to the darkness. I havent smelled the original M7, but this is a very intriguingly different fragrance.

It's Escada, it's a Limited Edition Summer frag, and it's called Sunset Heat. And just in case your common sense didnt tell you what to expect given all of that information, then let me tell you... Fruity! It is what it is.

Reminiscent of Givenchy Blue Label, but with less of the spicy/woody qualities that make Blue Label so great. More Marine than it is Aquatic, a very watery Marine. I agree with a previous review, should have been called Bvlgari Marine.

It's creamy, warm, and salty all at the same time. I think it works wonderfully on a man, as a couple of my lady friends agreed. It's very different and if you're looking to stand out from the crowd, look for Merveilles.

Simple, fresh, and bright. Smells like Orange Juice from beginning to end, not much change. Lasts a good while for a citrus scent. I've been looking for a frag that closely resembles the smell of oranges and I finally found it. Thank You Moschino Friends!

Feels like I'm wearing a fine blackberry wine. Intoxicating... in the best way possible! Lasts and lasts and lasts. If I were stranded on a desert island with just SMW, I'd be more than fine.

You'll like this one if you like L'eau D'Issey Pour Homme. It's basically the same thing with a citrus or florida orange note instead of a floral one. A citrus version of the original. IMO, better than Pour Homme.

Cold, dirty, bloody oranges. Love it!

A sweet apple note is what I get throughout this pleasing fragrance. No problem with it lasting either, 2-3 sprays in the morning can last you well into the night. Pleasantly surprised by Guess Man.

Salty and watery. Actually, very salty. Great lasting power and projects itself very well. Dont think there's anything on the market like Kenzo PH... and if there is, I cant imagine it being done this well. It strives to smell like the sea, and it succeeds at doing so.

Well, if you're a fan of Grapefruit, you'll love this one. To me it's pretty simple, Grapefruit and some Ozonic notes that dry down to a soft wood base. The bottle is very well done, too!

Very sweet and fruity... because of the fruitiness it probably reminds me a little more of CL's Bazaar than it does AdG. The dry-down brings more of an aquatic "feel" like AdG... definitely been done before, but somehow Unbound does it better.

Cold Lemon dominates the top notes... and yes, Yuzu is a type of Lemon... green floral middle notes and a very soft Vanilla drydown. Unlike others, I never seem to have longevity issues with LpK, as it lasts about 4-5 hours on my skin. Classy.

The reviews from this fragrance are like being in the "Bazar-o" World. Bazar is in the same vein as scents like L'eau D'Issey and Blue Label, and has just as much quality to it, if not more. The drydown is beautiful. Please try this one for yourself before dismissing it.

That's right, there is absolutely nothing about this cologne that warrants owning a bottle... unless you count smelling nice a good reason to own a bottle of cologne. If you need a cologne to shout "look at me, I'm wearing cologne!", then Subtil probably isnt for you. Use it around the office, your Co-workers will thank you for being so "me too". :-)

This isnt just the smell of Strawberries, this is the smell of the Strawberry sauce that you dip your Strawberries in. Furthermore, I find this scent to be very masculine too... Amazing!

People have to understand that there are scents out there like CK Crave that are targeted for a younger audience. For Males 16-25 years of age this will do the job. It has a very interesting scent that has a real tropical fruit feel to it. I dont care much for the spray mechanism though, hard to get a good stream sometimes.

Amazing for Men has a nice, sweet Ginger scent to it. It goes very well with the drydown of Cedarwood. Which makes it a better option for the colder months.

Very casual-citrusy scent. Longevity is one of the better ones in hot weather. The price is fantastic. If you like Happy for Men, you'll like Benetton Sport too.

I really thought I was going to like this one alot. With the Top Notes described, it seemed to be something I would enjoy. But I find Best of Chevignon to be a little too slanted to the feminine side. It definitely has that perfumey quality that seems to be in most women's perfumes. If anything, I would much prefer this one on my girlfriend.

This is one of the better summertime scents on the market. At first, it smells like orange and then a little lime... both are mixed well. Drinkable! ;-)

Wow, Papaya! One of the sweeter colognes I've smelled. So if you like that kind of scent, try Paradise.

I hate comparing scents. In fact, I rarely do because each and every scent has it's own differences. But if you take the lid off of Chrome and take a whiff, it should remind you of CK One. When actually putting it on though, you will probably notice more of a floral scent than CK One. Very strong lasting power, which makes this Citrusy/Floral scent perfect for Spring or Summer days.

I think it's an awful misconception that just because a fragrance would/could appeal to the High School aged male, that automatically makes it a bad scent. Very fruity, with some sweet apple-type top notes. Perfect for the younger crowd... in a good way!

No need to explain what this one smells like as most people who wear cologne have probably tried it once before... Acqua di Gio is it's own worst enemy... if it werent so popular it would probably be liked more. One of the best no matter how you slice it.

This one had the potential to be a great Summer cologne. If it werent for the boring middle notes that basically kill the very nice Green Apple and Watermelon top notes, this one would be so special. It does a nice job on the ladies though.

What can I say?... One of the best Aquatics around. Spicy middle notes that linger throughout the drydown. This is one of the few Aquatic scents that can be used all year around.

Very warm, one of the more comforting fragrances around. I like to wear Lanvin L'Homme when it's cold outside, I think it heats me up about 10 degrees.

One of the better Summer scents! It's long-lasting, cool, and synthetic in the best ways possible. Not like other Citrus colognes, as Echo contains no Citrus Fruits whatsoever... but somehow manages to classify itself as such.

A little too feminine to my nose... with little to no substance. Nice bottle though, if only the juice inside were half as interesting.
