20 Best Winter Fragrances For Men (2023 Updated)

Wow do I wish Versace Eros EDT existed when I was younger. This would have been the ultimate club cologne, but it was released first in 2012. It’s 10 years later, and this still is popular mostly with young males.

This is also loved by men like me, whom are young for their age, and not afraid to push the envelope. Even though an EDT fragrance oil percentage, is lower than a EDP or parfum, this one is extremely strong.

This is absolute testosterone, and Versace’s track record with fragrances, speaks for itself over the years. This designer house is huge, but what I like is their keen noses, that have allowed this fragrance to be created.

It’s bold alright. Eros is apparently the Greek God of love. The Medusa head design on the bottle and gold caps are strikingly detailed. I love the blue bottle that looks neon under light. Good luck at finding a better atomizer in the price range.

Recently I scored a 1. 7 ounce of this for $50, and they have bottles up to 6. 7 ounces. If you’re a cologne collector, you’ll want this one on looks alone. I love the detail with the gold and blue mixed, and the square shape of the container.

Recently I’ve discovered the parfum is my favorite, because it’s the most mature and refined Eros. That aside, this is the fun version. This is the second best one, as it projects better than the EDP.

I’m scratching my head on how that’s possible, yet that’s just the way it is. If you want a unique and playful scent, definitely give this one a try. It’s quite versatile, although probably not an office scent.

Three shots of this to the chest, you have an all season player here. This is one of my summer favorites. The notes are mint, green apple, lemon, tonka bean, ambroxan, vanilla, Virginia cedar, atlas cedar, vetiver, and oak moss.

This might as well be about of control Greek fraternity in liquid form. It’s an opinion but the apple is more of a candied variety and I dig this. Mint and lemon add on to the joy factor, and yet the vanilla is so obvious, that makes it even more noticeable.

This is best for casual events, dates, and of course the night club. Some might mock this, but I absolutely am thrilled to wear this. It’s attention getter. No doubt about it, this may not be for everyone, so you might want to sample it first.

I think it’s a great one, and am happy to recommend it. I’ll be taking it on vacation this year. That alone should hopefully get you to give this a try, as I started out with a sample, and now have a bottle of it.

Projection and a scent trail, you won’t have a choice with this one. It’s omnipotent fun!.

I really cannot say enough about this one specific perfume. Gucci gorgeous gardenia is by absolute favorite perfume ever! I used to swap my perfumes out daily but since I bought this perfume, this has been all I wear.

I get so many compliments on it every single day! I am obsessed with this fragrance! The packaging is absolutely beautiful and the bottle is stunning! Everyone has that one fragrance that when they wear it, they feel like that’s their signature scent.

This is mine! I was so impressed with the fact that it took me 2 spritz of this and I smelled amazing all day long! I have never received this through a campaign but whoever has is extremely lucky! I am actually ordering another bottle next week because mine is running low and that’s just unacceptable to me lol.

Seriously though, Gucci knows what’s up and Gucci Flora is one of those perfume lines that just completely makes you melt when you smell them. Gorgeous gardenia is my all time favorite fragrance but I am very eager to try some of the other scents from the line.

If you are debating purchasing this fragrance, go ahead and do it! You will NOT regret your decision. I literally could go on and on about this stuff because it’s pure bliss!.

This is one of the best in Tom Ford’s Private Collection. It’s dark, with a prominent cypress note along with tons of resins and cedar and just a hint of citrus. To me, it’s not sweet at all; it’s dry, herbal, almost acrid but in the most beautiful way.

It smells kind of formal to me. I also find it more masculine than unisex, but still, it’s not something that a confident woman cannot wear. A great scent to be worn during the Mediterranean summer, with good -though not as good as the ouds in the collection- lasting power.

Italian Cypress enters with zesty citrus and fresh green notes, soon after subtle minty/menthol notes join the fray. As the heart phase takes hold the cypress note opens out and present its Mediterranean green and warming embrace, with green resinous notes appearing that add warm and depth, this is the masterpiece stroke that sets this fragrance apart.

In my mind I am walking up a path in Tuscany with the late afternoon sun wafting beautiful green and resinous aromas from the tall cypress trees bordering the path, I feel free and confident in me and my surroundings.

Wear anytime during the year, however it really comes to life in heat, a warm breeze in a sunny climate seems to awake and lift the cypress and resinous notes, wafting in waves of gorgeous scent clouds.

Silage is moderate with a well defined scent cloud enveloping the wearer, however warm air lifts and wafts the scent further. Longevity is very good, and the skin scent persistent. The woods feel a little smoky like smouldering woods that have been in the direct sunlight for to long.

I love how this fragrance has a combination of fresh citrus with warm woods with a stunning cypress note. The clove then asserts its presence but never discriminates. It’s incredibly warming and shifts away from the Italian side of things.

The clove gives the fragrance a gourmand light cinnamon vibe, with the natural intoxicating sweetness of clove aromatically shining. It wraps itself in the heart of woods and resins around a beautiful cypress body.

A subtle, classy, high quality fragrance.

I have been using this fragrance for about 2 weeks now – took my time to use it at different times of day before I wrote a review on it. Starting from packaging, the box is designed well and is instantly recognizable.

I’ll give packaging a 7. 5 out of 10 and the design of the bottle an 8 out of 10. Some might find the bottle too flashy, however, it is distinctive and with TF initials in black on a gold cap, I don’t mind the flashiness.

Now moving on to the fragrance itself and how it smells: right after spraying it on, I smell a blend of cardamom with a fade hint of orange/ginger, maybe some amber. Cardamom is the most distinct to my nose in the opening.

Once it settles down, it opens up to a more versatile blend of kulfi/pistachio with vanilla, amber, cardamom, and tonka bean blended in a creamy and smoky fashion. It later reveals the leather notes which last the longest.

Summing up the review, if you like creamy, smoky, and sweet fragrances, this one could be an interesting addition to your collection. To me, this one is better suited for colder weather because of it’s warm and smoky aesthetic.

Now the areas that can be improved: longevity is limited and for a fragrance that bears TF initials and the price tag that comes with it, I would definitely expect it to last at least 10-12 hours but sadly, it doesn’t.

On my skin, it lasts for roughly about 3-4 hours before turning into skin scent. Projection too is moderate to intimate. If you are looking for something that would spread throughout the room and has a vast projection, this might not come up to the expectations.

Lack of longevity also kind of goes against the characteristic of a parfum concentration and it seems like it’s a weaker concentration of oils. My recommendation: the perfume itself a beautiful and interesting blend of ingredients however, should you buy it or not totally depends on what you expect from a fragrance.

Will definitely be a nice addition to your winter collection!.

The luxurious, seductive fragrance of Tom Ford Noir Extreme Noir Extreme has a unique appeal that is unique to it. The perfume bottle opens the masculine modernity with spicy notes of mandarin orange and Neroli orange blossom.

The tangy aroma of saffron wraps tangerines in the warmth of cardamom and nutmeg. Then when the fragrance flies away, the heart note is filled with the warmth and charm of flowers. Frankincense combines elegant jasmine and gentle rose.

The floral scent is attractive but just enough to not be too feminine. Finally, a deep woody scent accompanied by warm amber and sandalwood. Create a very masculine and tolerant space. Add a little Vanilla spice blend to make the fragrance more lingering and unforgettable.

Needless to say too much, Tom Ford Noir Extreme beats any girl right from the first fragrance with freshness, sweetness with Mandarin, Cardamom and Nutmeg. Revealing many aspects by rotating the notes rhythmically, Frankincense penetrates the floral notes slowly, exuding seductive, warm charm in the eyes of the opponent.

With flexibility in style and emotion, Tom Ford Noir Extreme leaves a deep impression through the notes of Wood, Amber, Sandalwood and finishes gently with the sweet promise of Vanilla. Impressed with the fragrance and fragrance of Tom Ford Noir Extreme EDP In order to increase the attractiveness and impress the people around, the scent retention is also a factor.

With a high concentration of Eau De Parfum (EDP) with a high flow of essential oils, the fragrance can stay on her skin for 7 to 12 hours. The luxurious fragrance wafts out in close proximity. In the midst of a world of perfumes with hundreds of different styles, Noir Extreme is unique and modern, so attractive to you.

Noir Extreme Tom Ford is suitable for use in the atmosphere of autumn and winter weather. The luxurious, classy design of Tom Ford Noir Extreme Tom Ford’s designs often bring a sense of both simplicity and elegance.

Tom Ford Noir Extreme is perfect in every detail. Perfume bottles are rectangular in shape with sharp square lines. The jet black color covering the entire bottle shows sophistication and strength. The luxurious metallic gold lid creates a strong visual impression.

The logo and name of the product are printed on the prominent bottle body. Tom Ford Noir Extreme perfume is sophisticated and classy, ​​bringing its own values ​​and meanings that the product gives you.

I received this Tom Ford fragrance for free from Influenster and Tom Ford in exchange for my honest review. This used to remind me of Carlisle from Parfums de Marly (I guess it must have been the saffron, nutmeg and vanilla), but with each additional wear, I tend to think that this is closer to La Nuit de l’Homme than anything else, with vanilla on top to lend it a gourmand aspect.

It may seem odd to compare those two, but the cardamom is central in both scents, and both are rolled up into a well blended whole wrapped up in woody and flowery undertones. The gourmand aspect of Noir Extrême obviously sets them apart, however I dare anyone to spray them side to side, and notice the similarities.

The flowery tones are also quite different, as lavender is quite prominent in LNDLH. There is no doubt that Noir Extrême has plenty of qualities: it is very well blended, it performs really well, and it has a real nice, mass-appealing scent profile.

This is quite a safe pick for fall and winter if you and your surroundings don’t mind a gourmand type of scent. I wish it had a bit more character, or perhaps that certain notes had more pop to them, or that they did not all equally be part of the composition.

It’s not a real issue in that it goes to show how the notes are well blended. But this is why I would pick Carlisle, Herod or Layton before I would pick this up: something special unfolds when you wear those, and the sillage that they leave has something both mysterious and cozy.

Noir Extrême reminds me more of the classic Pert Plus shampoo smell (LNDLH reminisces me of that every time!), with a really nice vanilla backbone. Nevertheless, this is a great entry-level scent among gourmands, as it is not too daring, but it’s very well-built and performs in real satisfactory manner.

It may not ooze with personality, but it’s far from boring or unpleasant. In a few words: Imagine La Nuit de l’Homme with added vanilla, and different flowery undertones. Pros: Quite versatile and mass-appealing for a gourmand scent.

Very good performance. Cons: Lacks character a little bit. Overall rating (out of five stars): ★★★½.

My first offering from Mugler and kicking myself for not getting it earlier. Pure Havane combines a beautiful tobacco accord(think a luxury cigar lounge) with honey and vanill in such a way that all combined presents itself as a cherried tobacco composition with a touch of cacao and amber in the background.

After the gorgeous symphony of the opening fades away after around 2-3 hours, then the more subdued ambery sandalwood base emerges giving it a creamy character. Duration on my skin is around 6 hours but it lasts all day long if you spray your clothes.

The sprayer is atrocious but easily fixable if you cut around the sprayer groove with a sharp knife or xacto. No need to remove the flap and the bottle remains looking the same but now its twice as easy to apply.

The bottle may be a bit tacky for some and cool for others. It sure is distinctive. My only issue is that the item description did not mention it was a tester and I was expecting the full presentation.

But the fragrance is so good it made me not care about the confusion one bit.

Qué Bolá Chico? ” -“Pure Heaven” M A S T E R P I E C E: fragrance level WAOOOO! Rusty tobacco with a small sensation of camphor and subtle smell of cherries, I feel a rich explosion of smoke pipe and cigarette.

Strongly addictive, I just can not stop sniffing it. It feels quite honeyed, chocolatose and vanilla, especially in the final drying. Just out of curiosity I decided to do a mini survey among friends and family about the smell of PHTM, and here are some opinions.

Smells like. ? “vanilla” “Chocolate” “Wood” “Cinnamon” “Flowers” “Sweet Tobacco” “I do not know what it smells, but it is delicious” What we were all agreed upon is the fascinating aroma of it. My co-workers almost spent all day talking about the smell and my 7-year-old daughter forced me to apply it on her wrists.

It projects very well and longevity is supersonic. You feel that big bubble of tobacco / chocolate, you smell,smell and you can not stop sniffing, (without exaggerating). It seems to me that it is a “waterproof” scent, you moisten the applied area and still feel it subtly.

Climate: cool and cold does better work. Packaging and Bottle: I am not a smoker, but I feel like I am uncovering a box of cigars, beautiful presentation, the bottle is brown, plastic and a divine design with that golden star.

The truth this is a very important contribution to perfumery, so while you can, I recommend buying it, do not pass you as a friend who was “scared” when he knew that it is limited edition. 10/10 Bottle 2014.

The notes just blend together perfectly from opening to dry down. I got compliments from day one on a night out. This would be a perfect fragrance for the cooler weather and/or a evening out. It projects like a beast for a couple hours so be carful on the sprays and know what the environment is going to be like before you apply.

I waited for 30 to 45 minutes before stepping out. My favorite was the dry down by far though the opening wasnt bad at all. This is definitely going to be my new favorite.

This fragrance is brilliant and I know I’m gonna ruffle some feathers by saying that. Hear me out: I fall under a small minority that, while I feel the Sauvage DNA is great, it can be both cloying and redundant considering it’s a very easy option for pretty much any man to wear anytime.

The EDT is exceptionally loud, and I found it to shout way too loud for me to wear. Projection and silage is great but it is very easy to overspray. Longevity is increased further and the scent itself is toned down slightly in the EDP version.

Then came the Parfum – I feel like this can be called Sauvage for Adults. It’s got this whiff of maturity to it, kind of like Sauvage went on a voyage around the world and came back a well seasoned traveler.

Definitely a great option for someone who enjoys the DNA but doesn’t want to be considered an early 20’s clubguy. It’s also a great option for people (like me) who really don’t enjoy Elixir, but would be ok with a happy medium between it and the EDP.

This truly is a year round scent and goes extremely well with office wear and jackets/sweater weather in the fall/early winter. I enjoyed it so much that I decided to opt for the large 200ml bottle. I do not regret my purchase at all and hope they retain this version in their lineup for a while.

I’d definitely purchase this one again, and highly recommend it for people who used fragrances like Carbon (from Prada’s Luna Rossa lineup) due to wanting a toned down Sauvage DNA while still remaining true to the scent.

Longevity is subject to your skin type but I recommend applying after a shower for maximum exposure/results. I get an easy 8hrs with my bottle but the scent bubble gets smaller after about 4hrs in. I know it’s still there because people have complimented me a good 6hrs after application.

This is Great. Attention grabbing, Long lasting, Sexy, loud seductive fragrance. Wear it for clubs, date and close encounters and they will just fall in love with you. This is for fresh and cold weather for sure.

The citrus opening and the hint of lavender are noticeable, but most of everything I feel a heavy dose of sweet tonka and leather in the base which are the main notes of the fragrance. 10/10 fragrance Armani Code profumo by Giorgio Armani is an Amber Spicy fragrance for men launched in 2016.

Top notes are Cardamom, Green Apple and Green Mandarin. Middle notes are Nutmeg, Lavender and Orange Blossom. Base notes are Tonka Bean, Amber and Leather. #fragrancecommunity #jelitefragrance #perfumes #colonias #cologne #fragancias #fragrance #jelitefragrance #dior #chanel #gucci #prada #guerlain #jeanpaulgaultier #freshfragrance #loreal #pacorabanne #viktorandrolf #carolinaherrera #creed #creedaventus #parfumsdemarly #tomford #pacorabanne #azzaro #fragrancecollection #fragrancelovers #oudfragrance #kilianfragraces #mancera #givenchy #bvlgari Instagram : @jelitefragrance Influenster: Jelitefragrance Email:

This stuff is amazing.

So to the review title, when I smelled this for the first time I honestly felt like I had just found my sense of smell for the first time. I cannot stand the other Sauvage versions but Elixir changed the game.

It’s worth every penny because I immediately felt like this was what Daniel Craig was wearing filming No Time To Die, or what Elon sprays on before hopping into his Tesla or Helo and heading to watch Starship make a test flight.

It’s commanding but not overpowering, it’s complex but not boujee, it’s manly yet has a slightly sweet anise note, it is to me perfection in a bottle. My only complaints are that it isn’t yet available in a larger bottle and thus will probably be discontinued, and as powerful as it is its sillage is medium if I had to put a scale on it.

It also projects but not too far, only leaves a slight trail. But again maybe that’s the magic of it. The type of man wearing this ALREADY HAS the attention of people when he walks into a room! It’s not for young immature clubbers that fist pump and reminisce of Jersey Shore (you people can stay with Paco Rabanne).

This is for men (or honestly I could see a very powerful beautiful woman pulling it off with passion on her mind) who have their 5h1t together, want to win, want to take on the impossible, but also have the wisdom to realize real alphas EMPOWER and inspire people, and don’t thrive on power or seek it.

This is the scent of perfection from Dior.

Better than Pacco Reban 1 Million Prive. My first whiff rendered great admiration for a niche frag. , with amazing warm dry-down. A beautiful well blended warm, alluring, toffee, leather, boozy fragrance.

It smells more expensive than it is, as it has a fabulous wafty ambiance that’s going to garner compliments. If you like warm/sweet/boozy, this one is admirable for you, I’m getting a backup bottle! Initially expensive, if you’re only used to spending say 39.

95 on 100ml bottles of your fragrances but you will be happy with this expensive aromatic gem. Top Shelf! Overall 5 out of 5. Great sillage, great projection, about 6 hours+ on my skin. Great reviews from frag-heads on Youtube as well to back up my review here!.

I find Stronger With You Absolutely to be the best in the lineup. Sadly, it’s not on influenster. Absolutely has a much more warm and boozy opening than the original. Very sweet and dense; it’s best worn outdoors in cooler months.

With vanilla throughout, it never loses its sweetness. But it definitely evolves into a more complex fragrance. The lavender is noticeable from the start but you don’t pick up on the patchouli or the chestnut until the drydown.

If you are a fan of frags such as The Most Wanted line or fragrances such as Code Absolu, this is something you will definitely enjoy. Just take it easy on the sprays bc this is fairly BEASTMODE.

Stronger with You EDT is a very warm and sweet fragrance that should be used in colder weather. The main notes I pick up in this fragrance are spices, cardamom, chestnut and vanilla. One complaint I have about this fragrance is it’s performance.

The longevity is good with around 8 hours, but the projection is quite weak in my opinion (stays close to the skin) This fragrance is very inviting, and for its price point is a solid blind buy. This fragrance reminds me of Armani code Absolu with more spice.

In the winter time, I can see this fragrance being perfect. Overall a quality fragrance with a nice bottle, just wish it projected more.

I’d give this a 3 and a half. The only time this is really wearable to me is on rainy days. The opening has this beautiful mixture of vetiver and spices. It can be compared to D’terre but it’s very different.

It’s not as sweet. The dry down where someone has a wild imagination can go from rain to a new car smell. Some people can call this fragrance classy but I can’t. It’s not the easiest fragrance to wear, not something for special occasions or anything along those lines.

It projects quite well, longevity 5-7 hours. I’m not crazy about this fragrance so of anything in my collection I use this from time to time to spray my room to make it smell nice again. If there was more pepper and less vetiver, maybe even a different type of pepper used.

A touch of sweetness to it, it might save it. I can imagine the EDT version infinite rush is nicer but i thought this would be longer lasting. This has potential but I find it comes off as incomplete.

This scent smells really lovely and it could be a true signature scent for me IF only it projected and was stronger. As the forum people call it, sillage and projection are very poor and i take a 10 ml top up with me, so i can refresh it a few times.

The bottle is fantastic and i have been told that if you take the lid off and leave it in a cool and dark place ( maceration) then it will become different and should be stronger. I have not touched it since first week and it’s macerating right now, along with the Bentley azure.

I had hoped that, with it being an EDP that it would project but, sadly, it does not, it remains a skin scent unless you refresh yourself with a top up. In short, fantastic but weak. I put on my Kilian black phantom and have had so many compliments already today but look at the price difference.

How i wish this was stronger and truly intense as it would be my signature scent. I will add to this after i had let it stand for 4-6 weeks and re-visit.

I was not sent what is on the picture, “non spray” which is what I was looking for. The description states “spray”, but why not make it match up, description and picture? Which do I believe? “NEW IN BOX” doesn’t come in a box don’t waste your money.

Opt for the less expensive option. The cologne is great! I just hate inconsistency especially if you are a collector or gift giver.

I’m horrible at describing the different notes and accords of a perfume. My nose isn’t developed enough to really distinguish the different combination of scents. But, I’m very picky about my fragrances and always have a very strong opinion, even if I can’t explain the specific scent that leads to that opinion.

So, what I can say about Gucci Guilty is that I love it! It’s a grown up, sophisticated scent that is professional and feminine. There’s also something a bit old world about it, something universally pleasing about it that crosses decades and generations.

It’s not a very adventurous fragrance, which makes it perfect for every day. My one criticism is that I wish it lasted a bit longer. It has mostly faded from my skin within 3-4 hours. I fix that by spraying it on my hair or a bit on my clothing, where it lasts much longer.

So much longer that I was able to smell it on mug jacket days later. This is really a lovely fragrance, and I hope to purchase the full size bottle.

Oh my! I am OBSESSED with this perfume. To me it is quite a unique fragrance. I personally find Valentino Donna Born in Roma to be quite fresh, especially in the opening. Now this might be a con or off-putting for some, but I almost get a “laundry detergent/fabric softener” vibe from this.

but like a very fancy high-end boutique-y laundry detergent or softener. I love all phases of this perfume; fresh and clean at first, as it settles, it becomes warmer and subtly sexy, a little woodiness settles in toward the 2+ hour mark.

Definitely attribute the warmth and sexiness to the Guaiac wood and cashmeran. These notes, combined with aforementioned linen-y freshness make for a very cozy, comforting scent. It also makes sense I love this one as it has a powerhouse of three variants of jasmine (jasmine flower, jasmine sambac, and jasmine tea) and I just ADORE the aroma of jasmine (and not to mention, jasmine tea is my favorite tea in existence), but despite that I do not find this to be abundantly floral and I do not mind that.

The bergamot is present as well, and adds a nice, light sparkling burst. All in all, I am addicted to the combination of all these notes and the beautiful complexity in which it creates. For reference, some of my OTHER most favorite perfumes are: YSL Libre EDP, Chanel Gabrielle EDP, Dior J’Adore EDP, Chloe Nomad EDP, Terry Mugler Alien EDP, Prada Candy KISS (HATE others in the Candy line) EDP, and Masion Martin Margelia Replica Lazy Sunday Morning EDT.

Yes that is a lot of favorites, but I have a pretty healthy-sized perfume collection and I can say with absolute certainty that Valentino Donna Born in Roma has quickly and fiercely joined my all-time perfumes.

This is a pretty interesting fragrance to review. I have waited until the absolute last moment to review this fragrance because I really wanted to give it a chance and understand how it behaves on my skin.

The opening starts off with notes of red Apple, Cardamom, and Calabrian bergamot. It smells like very fresh sweet opening with a hint of spice from the cardamom. The opening last for about an hour or two before it starts to hit the midnotes bourbon geranium, clary sage, and lavender.

At this point on my skin it starts to project a little less and sit a little closer to the skin. Someone within arms length will definitely be able to catch whiffs of you, but it’s definitely not too over powering.

Why did around the 4-5 hour mark, The dry down begins with hints of tobacco leaf, patchouli, and Haitian vetiver. By the time to dry down hits, It has calm down a lot and is much more pleasant to my nose.

This is a very strong fragrance on my skin and has lasted over 10 hours on the area that I have sprayed it on, granted at that point it’s very much a skin scent and I’d have to really press my nose against my skin.

It is definitely a fragrance I really need to scrub down in the shower to get off lol, so be careful spraying on clothing. It’s unfortunate that I had to try this fragrance out during summer with 87+ degree Fahrenheit heat.

In my opinion, it gets very cloying in extreme heat. I definitely believe it would do much better in fall, maybe winter, and early spring. (For reference, I live in the south. It’s hot and humid most of the year) Overall: 8/10 very good.

Versatile for dressed up/down occasions and dates, day or night. Sillage ~ 3-4 feet away for the first couple hours Longevity ~ on my skin 7+hrs Seasons ~ cooler weather 50F to high 70F, (fall, winter, spring) This is my unbiased review, incentivized by influenster.

First things first, we should know that Valetino Uomo Born in Roma Coral Fantasy is a flanker (which is a re-release of a popular fragrance with a slight modification. A flanker can be a lighter or a heavier version of the original or it could feature newly created notes that shares some attributes of an already existing perfume).

And in my opinion, it is the best flanker so far, in 2023. Compared to the original Uomo Born in Roma (which is so intense), this Born in Roma Coral Fantasy was a crowd-pleaser creation. Sweet but not overwhelming, boozy smokey but more fruity.

It’s such a comforting choice for all year around wearing and unisex leaning (even its name has the word “Uomo” means “Man” in Italian) Candied apple, clary sage and tobacco leaf were combined into an incredible scent, I absolutely love this and consider it one of Valentinos best so far! Although at the initial sprays, it smells like a plethora of other releases I’ve smelled recently (such as Ralph’s Club by Ralph Lauren or Phantom by Paco Rabanne, and it kinda reminded me to the discontinued famous Black XS for Men) but please be patient and wait for the dry down to see how well-blended it is.

In a nutshell, Valentino Uomo Born in Roma CORAL FANTASY is such a fruity sweet, boozy and ambery scent with the balance of aromatic sage. I think this is a unique, modern, complex perfume, suitable for many occasions, or just for a special night out or long day at work.

Because the longevity would last more than 8-10 hours and the sillage is easily detected as a “beast mode”. And if you need one more reason to add it to your collection, here it is: The bottle is specular with gradient glass design!.

Creed – Aventus Cologne Review Hi everyone, I managed to get my hands on the newly released Creed Aventus Cologne and would love to share my thoughts on the new release. The fragrance was released in 2019 and is considered to be an aromatic fruity fragrance.

The nose behind the fragrance is Olivier Creed. Top notes consist of green apple, mint, ginger, mandarin, orange and pink pepper; middles note are patchouli, sandalwood and vetiver; base notes are musk, styrax, birch and tonka bean.

The packaging is what you come to expect from the house of creed and consists of a ribbed cardboard box which has in fact moved away from the general white packaging Creed uses. The bottle is essentially identical to Aventus besides the colour being grey as opposed to black.

In addition to this, the horse and man is also outlined in white. The fragrance opens with a massive hit of what smells to be a lovely mix of the mandarin, mint, apple and pineapple. That being said, you definitely don’t get any of the major pineapple blast that Aventus delivered.

The top is incredibly fresh and extremely mass appealing. I believe they altered the top to be more mass appeal as a large majority of people disliked the top that Aventus delivers. The initial top fades within 20 minutes and you start getting the birch and vetiver popping their heads through.

The birch is not overly strong but it is definitely there. It would be in the order of 10-20% of the birch strength that Aventus delivers. The heart of the fragrance lasts for around 1-2 hours and slowly moves to a smooth base of non-offensive musk.

The dry down is incredibly pleasant and still from time to time get hints of fruits. Overall, I would say that I get similar longevity out of my current formulation of Aventus and it is definitely not a performance monster.

However, this has come to be known with most of the Creed fragrances. I feel you are paying for a quality fragrance that would be perfect as an all-rounder!.

Your journey starts off looking at the price and most likely turning away, but you shouldn’t look away so fast. This fragrance is captivating. I enjoy many colognes and parfums but this here is exquisite.

The top notes last longer than most, where most evaporate around 15 minutes I was still catching them almost 40 minutes in. Pineapple, bergamot, apple and blackcurrant gives off a great first impression.

It doesn’t dull off there. The mid mixes in with brilliance. Birch, pink berries, jasmine and a dash of patchouli keeps this fragrance alive and well. It paints a beautiful picture and delivers it straight to your sense of smell.

Every good painting starts with the base and this is no exception. With hints of vanilla, oakmoss, sandalwood, and ambergris lasting throughout. This is where your journey ends and you smelled fantastic the entire voyage.

Coming back to Minnesota from Texas this Thanksgiving Holiday 2021, after my dad had a very bad car accident; that ended up ending his life. Sprayed this on around 8:30 am on Black Friday. Even after sleeping in our car for a few hours, at the Texas/Oklahoma state line rest area.

And starting our journey back up at 6 am that Saturday morning. Sometime around 3pm or so. We stopped in Kansas or Missouri for some coffee at this convenience store. And the guy working the cash register asked me: Are you wearing cologne? I replied yes, and he asked what I was wearing, cause I smelled so good.

I gladly told him and showed him the bottle. Have to say. This wasn’t the first compliment on this trip. That Creed Aventus turned some heads and people had to approach and tell me how good I smelled.

But I’m surprised how good I smelled even after smoking nasty cigarettes on this trip. And people could still smell this fragrance. Even after 10 hours or more and only applied only once to my body. Just a couple of days ago at the grocery store.

Was wearing this fragrance and when I stepped up to the cashier- She said wooow, you smell good!!!! Glad I purchased Creed Aventus and the Green Irish Tweed.
