Real For Him by American Eagle, 2006

Just what the fragrance industry needed-- another bottle of plastic melon-and-woods-scented toilet water.

My ex girlfriend used to work for AE so when she tested out this fragrance, she bought it for me immediately! Usually, I'm someone opposed to fragrances from stores as such, since the quality of the fragrances they produce tend to be lacking, but this one is actually quite a treat! It's very light and crisp and mildly woody and fruity. I don't see anyone hating this or being offended by it, even if one decides to bathe in it. It's just an awesome fun, casual fragrance perfect for those days where you're just hanging out at home and really have nothing special to do. On a good wearing I get about 4-6 hours and for the low price and great aroma, that is good enough for me! Final Rating B+

Too sweet, too weak, didn't project enough. I got stuck with this cologne for Christmas and I've been trying to get rid of it. Would maybe suit someone who is 8-14 years old.

Well, let's be honest..I'm not much of a fan for teenage department store fragrances but for some reason I seen this, tested it out and was impressed! It actually smells nice and isn't to run of the mill I guess I could say. For the price, it's worth a try for yourself or for a cheap, nice gift! Thumbs up AE!

Starts out with a competing blast of citrus and fir. The citrus fades and the fir remains. At this point if feels a lot like an air freshener and I ask myself do I want to endure this any longer? The fir then gives place to a slightly sweet lush green accord. At this point I actually like what I smell. So my feelings about Real are mixed; hence a neutral rating.

Tried this on a whim- regretted it instantly. I found it to be very heavy, not good at all.
I asked a few friends what they thought, and didn't recieve any favorable responses.

My husband wears this, and it works well for him. It has a nice, woody scent- the balsam really dominates on him. It is fairly persistent, and fades to a slightly spicy woody scent after a few hours.

good scent..
top note is slight sweet citrus
base note is amber-woodsy smell
This scent is great but when compared to other colognes out there it is sort of boring. I bought this scent in American Eagle and dont regret it. It is very light, can almost bearly smell it.

I tried this on in the store and could not wait to get it off me. It was too sweet for me and was nauseating. Not manly at all to me. Scents usually do not stay long on me but this one clung to me. I had to get home and change my clothes to get away from it.

My God!!! When I smelled this on that salesman in the electronics superstore (Frys), I wanted to grab him and smell his face forever! This is definitely a man's man's fragrance. This is a FANTASTIC fragrance. It smells similar to Tribute by Mary Kay, but I think smells better. I'm gonna go get me a bottle and hope someone as handsome as I am grabs me by the face and smells too!! This is wonderful! Buy it!
