Pros: Pleasant and Unique scent - blend of floral, fruit, and woodsy notes...

Cons: None... I prefer more aqua and citrus fragrances...

For those reading my reviews, you know my #1 favorite cologne is Diesel, Only the Brave.. I am also a fan of that Diesel's "big brother", Fuel for Life...


Fuel comes out of the bottle with floral, fruit, and woodsy notes with a powdery finish. It is quite pleasant and I received numerous favorable comments, i.e. the "Wow Factor".. Sweetie does give the fragrance glowing remarks, especially the longevity. I, too, am fond of the projection, sillage, and longevity of the fragrance. Fuel projects well after the initial application and then settles to a level that projects evenly and smoothly without being overwhelming to those with sensitive noses. Given the spicy notes (perhaps a touch of musk), some may suggest that Fuel should be a fall and winter fragrance, I would offer the notes are so evenly balanced that this fragrance could be worn during any season and for any event.


The bottling and packaging are exquisite and unique - I am especially fond of the "pouch" surrounding the bottle - very cool touch.. The price/value is moderate - current online rates show about $50 for the bottle - while below the suggested retail price, there are plenty of great fragrances that can be purchased for less.


My final tally for Fuel for Life is 4.5 stars. Great projection, longevity, and potential "Wow Factor"... If you want something a little different, but very pleasant that lasts all day, I strongly endorse Diesel's, Fuel for Life. The world is full of beautiful places - don't miss a thing...

By just looking at the notes and reading the reviews I would have bet the bank that this would be something I would never like or wear. I don't enjoy super sweet fragrances in the least. After wearing FFL I was hesitant upon the initial spray on whether to wash it off or not. I let it settle and although it's sweet there's a nice masculine freshness about this with the lavender balancing out the sweetness. Projection, sillage, and longevity are fantastic. It's not something I would wear all the time which is why I can't give it a thumbs up. For a fragrance this sweet is does a decent job with the other elements of the fragrance. Not bad, but not something you should buy without testing first.

A strange kind of synthetic and finally soapy minty woodiness with the raspberry fruity pungency. The initial accord of lavender, anise and grapefruit is aromatic, a bit sour and intoxicating but in a while is a sort of chemical and almost detergent woodiness that takes the stage with its candied berry type of vibe. The aromatic (almost minty/balsamic) soapy feel last throughout till the dry down where the woodiness recedes a bit while a mellow bilberry/heliotrope accord starts to characterize the wake. A bit a brash and "for relentless young crowd" kind of smell. Mah..., not a disaster but not for me.

Very charming with the grapefruit and raspberry notes that dominate and project very well. the drydown is pretty much the same which is a good thing. very sweet and uncomparable.

hmm somedays i really like this other i don't Its very very sweet to start with to the point where its sweet overkill with the Grapefuit blast and it stays like that for a good while abour 2 hours i think. It does eventually calm down a little but still sweet. Lasts for about 8 hrs and projects decently as well - but try it before buying cause the sweetness will be a deal breaker for some

This is a scent i'd like a lot more if it was toned down a few notches. The raspberry and anise notes dominate above all else and as a result it's very syrupy, sickly and cloying. The woody notes do come more into play as it dries down, but they seem like only an afterthought and the fruity sweetness continues to overpower throughout. On the plus side projection and longevity are fantastic. So go easy on the trigger finger otherwise people will smell you coming for miles around!

It's a great scent, but too popular and too STRONG. It's terribly cloying when oversprayed, and due to its popularity you smell it everywhere. If you do use it, go SUPER LIGHT on sprays. Seriously, more than 3 should be a deadly sin. Preferably less. It's very unique though, and like I said it IS a good scent. The raspberry not is very cool and different.

This is a youthful, fruity scent, with amazing projection and longevity. The first blast of notes remind me a glass of Hawaiian Punch. It dries down a little more subtle, but it will last throughout the day. Definitely a casual scent, something I wear when I'm in a good mood, and the sun is shining. It's not for everyone, but if you like a sweet smell, that others will notice, this one is a great choice.

A big pop-art raspberry is this aimed at children? Ah wait, here comes the anise, mass-market signifier of masculinity these days it would seem. (Well, there is that candy called anise balls...) Its sine tone never lets up through this shiny and synthetic experience, boring a hole through the head. For masochists (or sadists if they inflict this on others) and the young and gullible.

WAY too sweet for my nose. I get a super sweet synthetic raspberry smell. I wouldnt suggest blind buying this one. Could become cloying in the summer. But the superior sweetness of this fragrance just kills it for me.
