The worst of the worst: Projection / Longevity

[Serjery]

As the title suggests, drop your fragrances that just have terrible longevity and horrendous projection.

The following made my list:
Versace Man Eau Fraiche sitting at 2 hours, with 1.5 hours stuck on skin
Lacoste Essential Sport
D&G The One
D&G The One Gentleman

[ahep2007]

As much as I love Gucci II, it's probably the weakest frag in my wardrobe for both projection and longevity.

[hednic]

Eau Mixte

[cannotavoidtrite]

Creed Royal Island Water and Virgin Island Water. I really like the pleasant softness of these scents but they just die on my skin and on my clothes they last not more than one hour.

[Jack Hunter]

Amouage Dia I can not smell it after ten minutes of applying it. And Creeds Neroli Sauvage I bought two samples from two different places and after twenty minutes on my skin both times it was gone with hardly any projection.

[HDS1963]

Erolfa by Creed
Roger & Gallet Jean Paul Farina Edition Cologne

[AromiErotici]

Beckham's Instinct

[Tarheel Golfer]

Wow, HDS, I can smell Erolfa all day long. Why we're all different.

For me:
Borsari Aqcua Classica and Ed Hardy Love and Luck.

Millesime Imperial too if it's really hot. No problems on mild days though.

[Sidney_Falco]

Love all of the below but longevity/sillage is an issue. Only wear them when I'm only going out for a short while

Polo Blue
Givenchy Pour Homme Red (Although I'm discovering in recent times it's not as bad as I first thought)
Carlos Santana (Great while it lasts though)
Hanae Mori EDT
Higher

[crvn]

not sure about the projection, but i find cdg 2 longevity a little bit lacking

[silentrich]

Cereus No.4 and Clinique Happy.

[drseid]

I love Trumper Extract of West Indian Limes, but longevity is nearly nonexistent. You put it on and get a great invigorating natural lime, then it is gone in minutes (or maybe I should say seconds). Too bad, really.

[ahep2007]

Creed Royal Island Water and Virgin Island Water. I really like the pleasant softness of these scents but they just die on my skin and on my clothes they last not more than one hour.

This is irrelevant in a way, but I've been waiting for an opportunity to say that VIW lasts a good 15 hours on me! I love this one, so it's a bonus!

[Spoombung]

This stuff lasts all of 5 minutes:



About 7 minutes:



About 15 minutes:



About 30 minutes:

[Spoombung]

Oh yes: sneezing for 5 minutes then nothing:

[Spoombung]

I forgot the worst! I'm not even sure if there is any perfume at all in Boss Night

[Spoombung]

I forgot another. Gone almost instantly on evaporation:

[barclaydetolly]

Creed Bois de Cedrat. I love it, but it disappears almost immediately into a skin scent even if I bathe in it.

[ROtto]

Why "terrible" longevity and "horrendous" projection? Not all of us want to smell like the Empress of all the Russias all the time.

On some hot days I only want to wear a simple eau de cologne, and if I have to work closely with people, a close skin scent that I can feel comfortable in is all I need.

[Force of One]

Hermes d' Orange Verte - really like it, but so short lived, it's a deal killer for me.

[jss]

Gone after 20 minutes

[neo_angel]

sean john - iamking
hermes - concentree de orange de verte

[Ken_Russell]

On El- good scent, yet even after half an hour, any trace of longevity is gone in spite of generous and- often repeated- applications

[cologne connoisseur]

This is irrelevant in a way, but I've been waiting for an opportunity to say that VIW lasts a good 15 hours on me! I love this one, so it's a bonus!

I have had the same experience with VIW...it lasts and lasts and lasts.

[PradaG]

Amouage dia on me as well as dg the one and gentleman.

[Diplomat]

Burberry Weekend for Men doesn't last at all on me.

[StylinLA]

I forgot another. Gone almost instantly on evaporation:

No kidding. How can they keep selling this? 10-15 minutes. Maybe someone with a super sensitive nose can get something out of it. It's heavenly lime, but gone before you leave the bathroom to get dressed.

[ChoppedGarlic]

Chanel Pour Monsieur Concentree (the current version).

Does last one hour max on me :/

[QWERTYOP]

Oh yes: sneezing for 5 minutes then nothing:

I can still smell Bang on me the next morning! Worst for me, D&G The One & D&G The One Gentleman. Lasts all of ten seconds on me. On a good day. It's absolutely ridiculous.

[gazzatron]

For me Gucci pour homme 2 and Gucci sport.
