Fragrance Reviews by silk4ever

I agree with Andrew, it's a good high school scent. It is very similar to CK One and even more so to Chrome so if you like either of those two, like I do, then your going to enjoy this one. I also agree it is an excellent casual cologne, so, if you are looking for something more eccentric or something that develops into some kind of "fragrance story" then you should pass on this one.

This reminds me of Divine's L'homme de coeur, but, not because they smell so similar, but, because I had the same "meh" opening reaction. But, just like L'homme de coeur, the dry down is completely different. I would put it in the same category as Pleasures as far as "fresh" is concerned.

One of the most underrated scents that is out there. I could care less about what "the ladies" think when I am picking out a scent as I do it for me and only me. But, for all of the men out there who does care what "the ladies" think (by the way, that phrase is annoying), then, this is your fragrance. It has a comforting, musk-like smell to it. Not bad!

Disappointing. The fruity topnotes smell like Paris Hilton's first mens cologne. The earthy dry down is does not work with the fruity notes at all. It's almost as if they were trying to combine a fresh fruity scent with a masculine scent. Regardless, it does not remind me of the original Chrome at all!

It does smell ilke you just got out of the shower. It's the raspberry note that sells it. It's too expensive even though it accomplishes it purpose, but, unpleasant it is not.

I am still not getting the vanilla note much. I don't can't even compared it to Burberry Touch. It's not offensive, but, it really comes close to it when hitting my nose.

The cliche' "Public restroom smell" is actually, for once, correct on this scent. And I, for one, am shocked!

Bsn summed it up nicely. I think people was expecting something eccentric with this and I am glad they kept it safe. I am not a big fan of ginger, but, YSL complimented the not very well and for that it gets a thumbs up from me!

I don't smell Code at all in this one. I am not a fan of Code, but, I do appreciate it and it doesn't bother me. This doesn't bother me either, but, there is anything about it that makes it another "Armani Classic".

It just smells like another aquatic to me, more in the category of Bulgari's Aqua. For the record, I don't hate aqua scents like most on here do.

I still don't know if I got a bad sample on this one. I will say after that pleasant Citrus note, it really goes down hill!

It's not fruity. When you think of fruity you think of Paris Hilton's men fragrance. It's one of the best done tropical scents I have smelled. It took everything that went wrong with Bora and Bora and made it right.

My nose can pick out the amber in this one after smelling Prada Amber awhile back. I am not saying that is a bad thing! More masculine than PA though.

Another classy fragrance from this fine house, but, it would be kind of hard for a man to wear this as it seems more geared for women. But everything from this house is quality from their products and their service. Even though I know I can't talk myself in wearing a fragrance I feel the opposite gender would be more suitable for, I will look forward to being a future customer with this house in trying some of their other products.

Yeah, I am not gettin gbug spray at all nor amd I getting any kind of overbearing "musky" scent. This is definitely a green scent and for it's category, one of the best I've ever smelled. It really is fresh and it really is green, but, for me, nothing like rolling in a freshly cut mowed lawn...more of a green bar of soap kind of scent. And the dry down reminds me of Pert shampoo. Is that bad? Well, if it was, I wouldn't have given it a thumbs up.

I was hoping the replaced, in my opinion, the best men's floral being Lacome's "O'. but, this is more woody than anything else and it's a pretty decent woody scent. It's safe, but, I could wear this but not be in a rush to go out and buy it.

Foetidus is right, not innovative at all. I was looking for the fragrance by Dior that I smelled out of a magazine and I thought it was Higher Energy. Even my taste has drastically changed since then or I am waay off here.

I gave it a neutral because this scent isn't offensive. I know, like Angel, you can't be "on-the-fence" with Fahranheit, but my rating is neutral anyway for the simple fact that it does smell like gasoline. I like that smell when standing at a gas station, but, I don't like it enough to want to wear it.

My first cologne that I actually liked that is discontinued. I knew there was a woman's makeup company who came out with a good cologne from a sample I got and finally, here it is...but alas...it did not survive. One of the best male florals I smelled.

I bought a mini of this and I honestly didn't use it at all. It really didn't smell bad, it reminds me of CK Escape. Not that they both smell identical but rather because of my reaction..."Ehhh".

I will defend Joop because I used the mini that was with the set that my dad bought. It wore out one me now though, but, no one can deny that it is very distinctive even to this day. It reminds me of a visit at an exotic beach, don't know why, it's no where near an aquatic.

You know, after reading GeorgeBernard review, I have to agree with him and I am not a fan of any type of tobacco smoke. But it's not in a bad, nauseating kind of way. It's a nice coounterpart to the female version (which would make for a better cologne) which is why I gave this sample a try.

Definitely a clean scent as if you got right out of the shower. I must say, it's the best version of what a "clean" scent is that I have smelled to this day including ADG.

I was expecting much more from this scent because of the fact that I love musk. I guess I don't love all types of musk. The vanilla note after the drydown was the only pleasant note I could find and even so, I still find that note more effeminate.

I was so out to prove the men wrong who thought that this "unisex" fragrance can only be worn by a woman...and it turns out they are right. I am creative with wearing a "border-line gender fragrance" but this fragrance has cross that line. For a woman's fragrance, a thumbs up and that's what I am basing my rating as.

Yes, the infamous "ink" note, I often referred it as being some weird note in SWM that I can't get pass. Therefore, the reason for my thumbs down.

This is the first time I sample something from this house and I must say, disappointed. Agree that it isn't sweet at all, it has not personality, it is so bland. With such a prestige house, one would figure that there is something "ground-breaking" about the fragrance and to be honest, it smells like it's been done before.

Agreed with the majority, it's a cheap smelling aqua cologne. It kind of reminds me of aqua velva and that is not a compliment.

Here is why it gets a neutral from me when I gave declaration a thumbs up...unlike my comerades...I can't tell the difference. I was disappointed in the lack of creativity in this one, maybe a subtle difference...so subtle that it hasn't hit my nose just yet. Eh, it is softer though, but the lack of creativity, what was the point?

The dry down isn't half-bad, but, there is a rotten, orange peel note that just keeps ruining this one for me.

Once again, I heard a lot of negative reviews on this from the Basenoters which generally means for me I am going to like it...well...Mr. Combs fragrance really isn't that bad. I smelled Crave before and I do not even know where that comparison comes from. I am sure it does remind someone of a Creed cologne because for most Creed fanatics, every cologne is a copy of a Creed. Regardless, I like it, the top notes isn't that great but once it dries down, definitely it was the winner out of samples that include amouage silver and terre d'hermes.

Originally, this got a bad rating from me, in fact, I thought I gave it a thumbs down on here. But I am glad I didn't, even though neutral isn't great; the main reason why this is my rating is because I threw the rest of the sample out to before giving it another chance. although, some of it did get on my shirt. Like the squire, I smelled this the first time after I smelled so many other scents and was wearing different scents as well. Don't do that with this one folks, let it stand alone and give it a chance to dry down. If I am right, then it isn't that bad at all.

This scent wasn't that bad at all. It's not my type of scent though, but, i really mean it when I say that it does have a good, masculine orange scent for those who are looking for one.

Where in the world was the vetiver not in this one? My feelings for this fragrance is best summed up by the reaction to my grandmother when she smelled Platinum when I first sprayed it, "Wow, that smells like alcohol"! Indeed it does grandmom...indeed it does!

So this one has been reviewed to "death" as well, so I will keep this short...decent scent. The first decent scent from Creed that I have smelled comparing to SWM and Himalaya. However, I don't know why it is considered to be for men and women as it is more masculine than a unviversal fragrance and I do not get the comparison with "Cool Water" at all.

Obviously, this fragrance has been reviewed to "death". So I will keep it short...good smell, nice sillage.

For some odd reason, this reminds me of Brut' cologne.

I respectfully disagree with John, this fragrance by Dunhill really does smell like you have been at the beach. The only problem is I think I finally know now that I would prefer a synthetic Acqua smell than actually smelling like I have been at the beach!

This is decent. I would actually wear this on a casual day or a trip to the beach. It really is one of the most overlooked Hugo Boss fragrance. The amber really comes out in the drydown. Not worth a whole bottle, but, a decant or mini is definitely worth the buy.

I agree with some of those who compared this to Acqua Di Gio. The dry down is very similar, but, it is a bad knockoff of Acqua Di Gio. It also has this "weird" note that is similar to SWM. Either way, not the best in the acquatic category.

I honestly do know what category of cologne this is suppose to be. Very average. But, with all-do-respect to Mr. Hilifiger, most of his colognes do not really stand out. I guess it would be a good cologne for a high schooler.

I can really smell the Apple and Rum mixture in this one! This is no where near my type as it is way to "spicy" for me, however, it is not offensive at all. For it's category, it is a good cologne with good stay power! Just don't spray too much!

With all-do-respect, this is below average at best. Mainly because it smells like cheap cologne something guys who are going "clubbing" would reek of. Save yourself a bottle and buy a bottle of "Brut" instead.

Very decent. Again, it didn't grab at my nose as something new or very exciting for me as I have smelled similar scents before. But, the cinnamon is really a nice touch. I can still smell it on the dry-dwon. A good "safe" buy.

Stuffy is the perfect word for this cologne. The vanilla is very "clouded" by the Oriental scents in Jaipur, even after the dry down. Poor sillage as a result.

Ehhh! That's all I can say really about it. It really is a safe fresh/aquatic scent. You cannot really say anything negative about it, but, it is nothing that will stand out as a pioneer in the "Aquatic/Fresh" category.

Utter Tosh? I wouldn't go that far. Make no mistake about it ladies and gentlemen, if you like your typical masculine scent then you will not like "Prada Man"! For the rest, it is worth an add to the ol' collection. Is it the greatest of all time? No! It is not even close to being in my top ten. But the nice sweet scent is worth the buy!

Wow, KC has really taken a downward spiral since "Black"!

I agree with the majority. There is nothing typical about this scent at all. The dry down has leaves a fresh feeling as if I have been lying on a pile of brand new sheets all day. You want to take a deep breath and just go "Ahhhh". The lemon note, which I am not a big fan of normally, is not overbearing at all!

I agree with those who love this scent. Actually, the follow-up is better and this scent is really good. It does not last long because it is light, but, I cannot imagine anyohw who smells this cologne and not love the scent at all. It boggles my mind!

One of the greatest scents I have ever smelled. We must keep this one a secret!

Smells like something you wear to church, not "great", but not as bad as people keep saying it is especially when it drys down.
