20 Best Zara Perfumes For Him (2023 Updated)

Everything about Halston seems, very quickly, to get back to the personality of Halston himself – 70s Tom Ford if he never stopped doing blow, etc. This vibe is best described as dated excessiveness, and as the disco era gets farther from living memory the whole idea becomes more mutable.

This frag, for better or worse, still largely fits that particular bill. 1-12 goes through 3 distinct stages from spray to fade. Up front, bright wintergreen, almost like Aqua Velva. This goes, in about 5-10 minutes, into a funky, herbal, vegetal phase.

Sage and coriander are strongest, but there’s mint and lavender in there too, alongside some weird musk notes. On the first few sprays, this stage had a decidedly rotten, almost nauseous element, like the herbs had been overlong in the crisper – this seems to mellow with use.

The drydown is almost bang-on Irish Spring, with soapy mint predominating. It’s clean, then dirty, then clean again, in about an hour. All this noted, 1-12 gets a surprising number of compliments (i.

e. , “You smell like an Egyptian” from an Egyptian friend). Superfresh mint notes are pretty popular in soap, body wash, and aftershave (again, Aqua Velva and Irish Spring), so even as strong as 1-12 is, a light dousing might go unnoticed.

One weird bit is that 1-12 has no tobacco notes but syncs bizarrely well with them, including actual cigarette or cigar smoke – that’s the 70s for ya. Basically, a great evening fragrance for any time of the year when the leaves are out.

My husband loves this. It’s probably what he would call his signature scent. He loved it “back in the day”, and I began purchasing it for him the last few years. The woody (cedar, I believe) scent mixed with the amber, smell warm and sexy.

Comforting and familiar, not overpowering. There’s a patchouli/incense-like note I smell occasionally when first sprayed. Whatever it is reminds me of the mid-90s, which I know is a terrible description.

Reminds me of road trips, all day night concerts and festivals… just fun times. Now this scent came out in the 70’s so maybe someone was wearing it. Has a good longevity on the skin and a nice sillage.

It’s marketed masculine, but could be unisex if you like the notes. This is a classic scent and can be kind of hard to find. Husband assures me it’s the same fragrance as the original, and he wears it almost daily.

You can find a large bottle for a good price if you do some online digging.

Halston 1-12 cologne spray is a good all-around cologne. Its ideal purpose would be if you wanted a versatile, all-around scent that has decent potency and performance and smells like clean laundry (on my skin, it smells like dryer sheets, but a little less so if I use three or four sprays on the upper chest).

It’s a soapy light floral (floral in a clean way, not a sweet, feminine way) combined with some fairly masculine notes. I wouldn’t call it “macho,” but I’d say it’s more masculine than unisex. It’s hard to tell what notes are in it.

It smells more like a blend that sums up to its own smell, which is more comparable to dryer sheets than anything else I could think to compare it to.

The scent of the cologne lasted about 6 hours before it became a skin scent which is very impressive considering that it’s an EDT but keep in mind every body’s response to a scent is different. I spray 2 light sprays on my neck and one on my wrist and it goes a long way.

The smell starts off with a refreshing watermelon citrus but I got some hints of the base notes to go along with the initial smell. Over time, it dies down to a light woodsy, musky smell but it’s strong enough where people notice it when standing close to you.

For the price, this out performs anything I’ve tried under 75$ by a long shot and I recommend it to any college students like myself looking to get the best bang for your buck to use during spring n summer.

CHIC by the Venezuelan designer CAROLINA HERRERA 🍉🍊💦 This fragrance honors its name; CHIC (Elegant) in French. The note of watermelon is so prominent and very pleasant. Tender CITRUSY, WOODY and highly powdery.

It’s ultra FRESH, tiny aquatic and clean. Perfect for office, white shirt outfit, businessmen and formal occasions. All year around, timeless and cozy. Rate:🥈 *note: could be unisex due a Floral vibe!.

This fragrance is hard to come by where I live. I don’t eant to explain all the notes as you can check them at Fragrantica. It’s good wear for hot and humid weather. The heat will make the smell more intense.

I’ve got few compliments from this fragrance. This is my 3rd bottle of this fragrance and is becoming my signature scent. It’s worth the wait for this fragrance to be shipped all the way to Malaysia.

FragX offered free shipping if you buy at certain amount and discounted price really sealed the deal.

I’d like to thank Jomashop for a free bottle, for my honest review. When this 3. 4 ounce bottle with the orange leather around it arrived, I expected to be quite pleased. Appearances can be deceiving.

The only way I can describe this fragrance is “toilet water. ” It’s citrusy like bathroom cleaner, and underneath this wood notes try, but cannot overpower this hideous scent. It’s not bad, rather this is horrible.

A shame that such a strong projector, has that type of aroma that’s nose hair destroying. There’s some powdery and musky notes too, and what could be windex as it settles down. Apparently several retailers are selling this, including of all places Macys.

This will make the cheap and repugnant English Laundry seem quite sophisticated. This is less expensive than other designer houses for good reason. It stinks. I will never wear this again, for any reason at all, and no apologies will be forthcoming.

My only compliment is, that it didn’t have any burn after applying for an extremely close shave. Oh and the bottle looks great, and the atomizer is effective. A shame that this looks good, but it delivers a 180 turn of unappealing scents that I will always run away from.

You’ll be better off wearing nothing, than spraying this on those pulse points.

#Fragrance I am sniffing right now | @vincecamuto Virtu EDT | I am at the precipice of maturity and about to evolve. I fall into myself and form a cocoon of my former lives and memories. I am crystallized.

I break through more refined and smoother around the edges, my experiences level up my wisdom and presence. I am Virtu. Interesting and sparkling moss mingle with green cardamom, spicy pepper, and papyrus at first spritz then resinous birch and vetiver add a smoky earth note.

The dry-down experiences sandalwood, cedar, leather, and musk that combine to create a slight coconut sweetness but the moss is the star for me. Via @fragranticaofficial | The nose behind this fragrance is Laurent Le Guernec ⏫Top notes are Pepper, Papyrus, and Cardamom ↔️Middle notes are Birch, Haitian Vetiver, and Moss ⏬Base notes are Sandalwood, Cedar, Leather, and Musk.

by [brand:vince-camuto] has a sophisticated, intriguing, intelligent and masculine scent, that I love smelling! It’s 3. 4 fl oz glass bottle has been wrapped with the finest brown leather as well as its cap.

The shiny gold letting wax like stamp, stand proud on the face of the bottle. The scent is to die for! It creates the most amazing luscious aroma most would definitely notice compliment! I know it deserves the attention it draws from both men and women! It does have a higher price point but worth every single cent! The alluring aroma lingers all date night long with only a spray or two! Yes! I highly recommend that a person splurge for a bottle of by [brand:vince-camuto] but the Eau de Parfum rich formula!.

The Most Wanted is Azzaros newest mens scent in a wanted series. The bottle is the revolver shape familiar on the other wanted bottles but in a blacked out version. The blacked out bottle exudes that this is an evening fragrance, it is daring, it is likely worn by a guy with blacked out windows in his car.

To be brutal here, my expectations were Low, I often see Azzaros fragrances falling to the shelves of TJ Maxx and other discount retails on a 20 rack this is my personal experience seeing them that way.

I will admit I am a self proclaimed connoisseur of fragrance and my daily scents often include oud showing my taste of a scent and that I really dont mind to spend good money on a quality scent. One of my key things when I am smelling around is finding a scent that doesnt feel generic, I dont want people to feel I smell like others, I want them to be intrigued, ask what I am wearing and I want that uniqueness.

That being said, I love high end scents with high end ingredients, uniqueness and my Low expectations of Azzaro culminated into bias before I opened the package. I did see this 100ml bottle was 98 on Ultas website before I opened it so I did think there might be some redemption.

I took the bottle out of the box and sprayed my underside of my arm and damn it was potent from the start. It has a rich oriental undertone with a spicy top note, it really reminds me a fragrance I bought many years ago and I forget what it was in many ways but it also has the uniqueness of Tom Fords F cking Fabulous which smells like a less spicy and more sweet version of this.

Mind you Tom Ford is 2. 5 times more expensive and this is quite as intriguing as the Tom Ford with many undertones that are very similar. Do I love it It surely will be used by me, not as a daily wearer but a nicer evening out scent.

I would prefer this more in cooler months over hot and humid nights but I think it could be worn as well. It is absolutely a younger fragrance, it doesnt have an old man scent to it but it doesnt mean men of all ages cant wear it, hell one of my favourite scents is Tsar by Van Cleef likely a very old man scent for most.

So in the end. I give this 5 stars as it completes directly with Tom Ford and other luxury scents as much higher price tags.

The key thing to remember with this or any cologne for that matter is weather or not it works with your body’s chemistry. Fortunately for me this ones a Major plus! I can honestly say every single time I use this cologne someone I don’t know both male and female will come up to me really really close and whisper ” omg, what scent do you have on?” Usually followed by something like ” It’s driving me crazy!” Ha Ha! I’m serious , and even though I’m now sixty two years old I never get tired of this response.

So I save this one for times when I’m feeling blue and need a little boost. Or for when the stars align and I’m feeling exceptional. Here’s a funny story, when I first discovered this scent and was wearing it on a regular basis I noticed a good friend of mine would always greet me with a huge hug that lasted longer than normal.

So finally I asked her ” you know I love you but what’s with the massive hugs lately?” And she replied without batting an eye ” I can’t help it I hope you don’t mind but throughout the day I get this subtle gorgeous hint of your scent and it makes me feel wonderful!” That Xmas I bought her a big bottle with a note that read, ” I only bought this for you for when I’m not around , when I’m here I still hope I get a good hug!”.

This is one of the most exciting fragrances that I have come to find. It is a musky, aromatic fragrance that I receive the most compliments on. I have even had other men ask me about. That is a sign of a great fragrance.

I love it. When I first started wearing Carolina Herrera, my father asked me what I was wearing. I responded by saying”Carolina Herrera”. He replied no, that is called,”chase me, knock me down and [email protected]$ me”.

Lol. To this day, that still puts a smile on my face. That is a great memory of my father. RIP POPS!!! Thank you Carolina Herrera.

My very first love ❤️. This was the first fragrance I remember smelling and being blown away by. Very nice sugary leather fragrance. Also, I may add that it was quite innovative back in 2009 when it was released.

Everyone wanted to smell like CH Men; interesting, charming, classy and fun. Thank you Carolina Herrera for this amazing scent.

Thought would write how much I love this. Just about to place another order on Macy’s. The best way I can describe this is smooth, elegant subtle. The creator behind this timeless cologne has to be appreciated.

Just as the name it gives you the feel of a late night party in a club in NYC. Best of all it comes at a very affordable price. No doubts. Go for it.

My second favourite perfume (original Insolence Guerlain was discontinued). I bought it today after finally giving in and its put me in such a good mood. The smell. is like a kind of classy coca cola.

Undefinable. Despite being a mens perfume it can really go either way and as an androgynous woman I really feel like myself wearing it.

Given that this cologne is the one I was wearing when I met my wife…I guess I’d have to put it in the “keeper” category. But certainly not by force. I love the flexibility of this scent. Great for an evening out, tame enough for the office.

A little spice in the opening and then transitions into a mildly boozy, minty, lightly woodsy, fantastic fragrance that lasts all day. There’s some complexity here…but all in all another great unique scent from Herrera.

Thank you to @giorgioarmani @influenster for gifting me my husband this wonderful new fragrance in exchange for our honest review 💙 🌊 Giorgio Armani Acqua Di Gió Profondo Eau de Parfum -1. 35 oz/ 40 mL -$80.

00 -Scent type: Citrus Woods 🍊🌲 -Key Notes: Marine notes, lavender rosemary, green mandarin, Guatemalan Patchouli -Performance: 9+ hours 💥 Thoughts 💭 When I first met my husband, Sauvage by Dior was his go-to scent because of that wise choice it is forever embedded into my memory (thanks olfactory senses) as that blissful soulmate meeting dream.

I even spray some on myself from time to time to delight myself with a whiff of the past. I never thought that could be replicated, until I smelled. Man oh man, does it make senses go crazy when it mixes with my husband’s body chemistry.

I would say the 2 are similar but the latter is more a sophisticated, rounder fuller scent. It is the deeper graduate version. 🌿The scent is earthy, mysterious warming with leading notes of oceanic salt, citrus, cypress musk.

It’s extremely long lasting lingering (9+ hours of performance!) yet not overpowering as it sinks melds beautifully with your body chemistry. I absolutely love the scent, as does my husband. It’s also light enough that I find myself using it as well! I would absolutely recommend this to anyone who’s tried the original as it is just an updated version as well as anyone looking to add to their signature scent collection.

It is so versatile; light enough for daily use complex sophisticated for an evening out. This subtle, clean elegant scent is a new classic that I can absolutely say my husband will receive as a gift for years to come! 🎁 Are you gifting scents to yourself or your loved ones this holiday season? ❄️ ✨What is your current favorite scent? Masculine or unisex! I’d love to see what you all are wearing this season! Thank you again @giorgioarmani @influenster 💙 #giftedbyarmani #ArmaniProfondo #voxbox #influenster #complimentary.

A masculine fragrance for an adult. Fresh Aquatic, yet dark and inviting. This one is truly a masterpiece fragrance by Alberto Morillas you must smell once in your life, and it’s quite strong so no need to overspray.

This fragrance reminds me of my dad. My dad used to wear the original Aqua Di Gio, and I used to steal it wear it in High School. It smells familiar to the original but adds a depth and a heft to it making it more of a late afternoon to nighttime scent for me, but it is super versatile.

I could smell this year round and not be upset. This fragrance contains sea notes, bergamot, incense, sage, rosemary patchouli. The sea notes keep it fresh, but as it wears it almost has a darker vibe to it.

The patchouli in the cologne makes you want to go back smell it again. My girlfriend loves the dry down of this one on me. She struggles with the openings of fragrances, as they lean more alcoholic citrusy, but she doesn’t mind this one, as she knows what it’s going to smell like after a little while.

This is one of her favorites to smell on me. ADG Profumo has been compared a lot to Versace Dylan Blue. I would say they are similar due to the shared incense peppery notes but dylan blue is slightly sweeter and works better on teenagers, whereas Profumo is better for men.

Because I live in a warmer climate, I wouldn’t wear this one all day because of how strong it is. I would lean into this one at night or late evenings.

I just received #VoxBox Acqua Di Gio Profondo Lights Eau De Parfum (which has been released in April 2021) and I found it one of the 2021’s most intriguing #perfumes so far. #ArmaniProfondoLights is the latest and newest version in the collection of the legendary and original #AcquadiGio, so I’m confident to say that it’s is probably going to be mass appealing just like its predecessors.

All above, it’s a must-have Summer Scent for anyone enjoys beach, sea, waves. If you have tried Acqua di Gio Profondo – the previous release of #GiorgioArmani before launching this Light Profondo, you could see that they both have the same DNA, such as sea notes, mandarin, lavender, cypress, rosemary.

But this smells to me much more aquatic than Profondo, and for that reason is much closer to Aqua di Gio original (the legendary of all men cologne until now, may I say). It is less sweet and fresh than Profondo, so that in my point of view, it maybe more mature than Profondo and seems office-appropriate or all-rounder as a daily, night out, casual activities.

One more plus point for its appearance. The gradient blue glass is really eye-catching and could be a gem decoration for your collection. The only disappointed thing is its longevity. If you are used to the long-lasting power of previous versions of Acqua di Gio, this Light Profondo might be a step down (which lasts on me 3-4 hours, such a pity).

For that reason, I don’t think it is a super unique or ground breaking fragrance, but if you like aromatic and light skin-scent, just go for it. #giftedbyarmani #influenster #armanibeauty #perfumesfavorite.

It’s easy to mistake YSL’s Y for another entry in the “almost Aventus but not quite” category, with its bergamot and mint opening, the pineapple and violet leaves in the middle, and a creamy white musk at the base, but this is a far more technical fragrance than the endless Adventus clones.

The aldehydes in the opening give this a bright freshness, tempered with ginger, and the middle notes go green with sage and geranium, which gives it an unexpected depth. But the base is where the magic is, and that comes from a delicious, decadent combination of ambergris and incense.

It’s a morphing, complex drydown that goes from clean sunshine to the shadowy corners of a hidden temple. And they are sexy corners, indeed, rounded out with amber, balsam fir, and vetiver, keeping that clean feeling amidst the warm, sensual notes.

This isn’t a blind buy. Not everyone’s skin will play nicely with aldehydes or ambergris, which makes both ingredients bold choices for YSL. Definitely test this one repeatedly before committing. But if it works for you, it is a beast, with excellent staying power and enough throw to turn heads with the sillage.

On me, it’s sweet and the floral character of the geranium lingers until the warmth of the incense, amber, and ambergris take over, especially in warm weather. On my husband, it goes straight for ginger, incense, and vetiver, all whilst dancing with the bergamot and aldehydes.

It’s a good cologne on me. On him, it’s wickedly brilliant. That’s the beauty of Y: it’s an art of chemistry, and it becomes very much one’s own. It’s worth a try, and if it’s magic on you, worth the pricetag, too.

is a superstar that gets a lot of hype that is completely warranted. It opens with a sweet and inviting scent that comes from an almost candied apple and ginger combination. It projects very well without being too clawing or overbearing.

This pleasantly sweet opening stays throughout the life of the fragrance and comes off very clean and fresh smelling. Bergamot combined with juniper berries add another fruity layer to the fragrance giving the scent a bright and uplifting vibrance.

Towards the dry down and underneath the sweetness you get a warm tonka bean giving off a light vanilla undertone which blends well with the rest of the fragrance elements. It is an incredibly sexy scent and actually quite masculine despite it being sweet.

It smells like a clean and refined gentleman who is in touch with his playful side. My girlfriend loved the smell and could not stop complimenting me and smelling throughout the night. Definitely a great date night or evening out scent, wouldn’t recommend formally or during the day / at the office.

This is a sensual scent and it isnt afraid to make itself known. A must have for any man trying to make a good impression on the ladies, you cannot go wrong with this one, just make sure not to overspray.

This lasts long, well over 8 hours on my skin and I could still smell it on my jacket in the morning. For seasons this can work in all seasons but would probably shine the most in spring and summer because of its fruit and fresh vibrance.

Overall a great scent that is well blended, unique, long lasting, and sexy. Well earned 5 stars.

This cologne has a clean scent but also has depth. The scent is very fresh when first sprayed, and dries down to be a bit spicy and warm without being overpowering. I sprayed this cologne on my boyfriend, but also decided to test it on myself.

On me the geranium notes are more noticeable when it was first sprayed, while on my boyfriend the lavender came through stronger. On both of us it dried down to a scent that was equal parts amber and spice with hints of sage and a very slight woody note.

On my boyfriend, this dry down was a little bit more fresh while on me it smelled a bit darker. It took using this cologne a few times to be able to pick out the different notes, the scent notes blend together very cohesively.

This scent is reminiscent of the smell when you walk by the cologne counter in a department store – not in a bad way, but in a way that the scent smells higher end but familiar. I think this makes this cologne a “safer” choice to blind buy or buy as a gift if that’s what you’re looking for.

(Though I do suggest testing it first if possible, since the scent developed a bit differently on different body chemistry. ) While this fragrance leans more masculine, I think it can work well as a unisex scent if it has notes you enjoy.

I was first introduced to Hollister colognes by my sons one Christmas years ago. They gave me Drift. It was great. Then, Hollister stopped it, but there was SoCal. Again, great. But it kept getting more and more expensive.

Then, Hollister began putting out many more colognes, some good, some not so good. And, sadly, their stores don’t carry all or even many of them. And reviews rarely provide enough info to make it worthwhile to just purchase a small bottle to try out.

And if one gets popular, Hollister starts raising its price. So, here’s the deal. If you like SoCal, you’ll like Wave. It is not a cologne, per se, but an eau de toilette, so it lasts longer. It is subtle and smooth, not citrusy or musky.

Just as with SoCal, you will get comments from people about how much they like the way you smell. And it often comes in the 3. 4 oz size for somewhere between $20-$30. BUT no doubt, that will change as people begin purchasing it more.

Other colognes from Hollister I like are Ridge and Winter Getaway, but both of these appear to have been discontinued. Too bad. Ridge was really, really nice–and different. The Hollister website described its scent as tobacco leaf and frozen pineapple, and that really did seem to capture it.

Now, I don’t smoke and was really skeptical about the tobacco leaf odor, but it is NOT a tobacco-y smell at all. Whatever the scent is, it is used to tamp down the sweet frozen pineapple, which still remains.

It’s a really nice cologne. Oh, a couple of other things to keep in mind. There’s also a Wave women’s perfume. I have no idea if it smells the same as the men’s cologne. Also, there is now a Wave 2, and I have no idea what it smells like.

I love this frag! Great value and performs like an expensive parfum! Great NICHE parfum!

Great scent. A close Dior Homme Intense type scent. Great value, great price.

Perfect Fragance ……. Ellegant and powefiull

I personally collect fragrances and would like to say that after 2015 this fragrance received a massive reformulation due to the removal of oakmoss from perfumery. Oakmoss is typically in most of the base notes of fragrances which means that this is not the only perfume to receive a reformulation.

The reason that this information is important is because that any bottle of this made after 2015 is extremely weak and has drastically been watered down. In total there have been three reformulations since the initial release (2009-2011) (2012-Early 2015) (2015-Now) and the first two reformulations are amazing.

The reason that I gave this 4/5 stars is for this reason as someone who has grown to love this scent has seen it become a former shadow of itself unfortunately. Its still the same scent but the first two reformulations are so much better and thicker/denser.

If you can find a vintage/older bottle somehow or you own one consider yourself lucky but if you are looking for an alternative similar to the original I recommend the flanker la nuit de lhomme bleu electrique which is discontinued but you can sometimes see it pop up on fragrancebuy.

com. Overall its a great scent but you have to spray heavy or keep the bottle or a decant/travel spray with you. Also if you would like to check what batch you have check the code on the bottom of your bottle and paste it into checkfresh.

com In the picture is my collection of pre reform la nuit de lhomme! For reference if you have a post 2015 bottle compare the darkness in color to yours to see how much it changed too.

I was originally excited to receive this, but I’m afraid to say that there’s nothing attention grabbing or special about this fragrance. It’s sort of bland and folds right in with the rest of the l’homme flankers.

It does share similarities with the OG but it’s minuscule. It smells competently done and I’m not saying it’s unfinished but after the dry down there’s nothing special about it. It opens warm and decently sweet with ambery characteristics.

I don’t know if this is just me but the opening has a weird coconut note to it that stays for a while. The citrus in here doesn’t play that big of a role it’s sort of just a light nuance the leads you to the mid and dry down.

 As it dries down it freshens up ever so slightly. It comes out as slightly vanillic instead of ambery. Kind of like a lightly spiced woodsy vanilla. Not a ton of vanilla just a smidge. Longevity on my skin was kind of disappointing because I don’t think I could smell anything past six hours.

The ambery woodsyness of this frag adds to how masculine it is. I see a subtle man wearing this. He doesn’t need to be flashy or anything because everyone already know by his presence that he’s the man.

This may work better as the weather cools down, i’m excited to see how this frag works when my body heat is able to push it out in the cold. Can’t wait until fall and winter.

I absolutely ADORE the quality of this powder! Dare I say that I actually like it better than my Laura Mercier? Oh my gosh he really went all out on this new line of products! The beige was perfect and made my skin look flawless! Amazing! I’ll be using this as my new “go to”!!!.

212 MEN by Venezuelan designer CAROLINA HERRERA 🠊🠋🪵 – “METALLIC FRESH CITRUS†MASTER! -A nuke missile of penetrating synthetic GREEN NOTES that smell highly appealing. Even though it has a punch of a powdery White floral nuance, i don’t get a “grandma†vibe, on the contrary it’s super juvenile and playful.

Nostalgic, Classic and used to be the king of the night out parties. Any season and a Swiss knife for the office. Rate:🥇.

During days when I want to smell more feminine, I like to use 212 by Carolina Herrera. 👸🏻 The top notes of this perfume are Orange Blossom, Cactus Flower, Bergamot and Mandarin Orange. Middle notes are Lily, Freesia, Gardenia, White Camelia, Jasmine, Lily-of-the-Valley, Rose and Peony.

Base notes are Musk and Sandalwood. 🌼 It has a sweet and musky (but not too strong) smell. The bottle looks big, but the contents are actually 1/3 of the size. I would recommend this as an evening perfume rather than something I would wear during the day when I want to smell clean and natural.

Do you wear different perfumes at different times of the day? 🌅.

The base of this fragrance is very masculine, but there’s just hint of floral that makes it’s presence known as this fragrance breathes. Top: Pepper, oak, leather, spice, musk Middle: Vetiver, vanilla, toffee Base: Cedarwood, bergamot, lavender Some of the above notes are mentioned in the fragrance profile, while others are ones that I’ve simply picked up on.

With a fragrance this complex, everyone is likely to interpret the variety of scent notes differently. This is a fragrance that is at all times heavily masculine, but the floral notes make it a bit more light/airy at times.

As this fragrance breathes and develops, it absolutely goes from a deeply woods based scent to one that reminds me of spring time in the woods, near flowers. In terms of longevity, this fragrance projects for at least 8 hours before needing topped off.

Highly recommended 5 stars.

This fragrance is simply great. Perfect for Saturday night or Sunday morning. I sprayed a bit on for Easter Sunday and man I’ll tell you. Must be something in it that attracts the ladies. My wife did not appreciate all the compliments I received but oh well she’ll get over it.

I am married but otherwise I could have definitely been a bad boy wearing this cologne. It’s well balanced and not too over the top. Does not burn your nose hair like other overpowering fragrances. It’s fresh, woodsy, fruity, but they all contrast and compliment each other well if that makes sense.

It last all day/night and a little goes a long way. I highly recommend especially if you want to make the wife jealous.

I was so excited to try Bad Boy Cobalt cologne. The description was really interesting and it seemed like a unique scent idea. The best word I can use to describe the scent is confused. There are so many complex and competing notes in this fragrance, it’s almost impossible to know where to focus.

It’s light and airy and floral but earthy, with a distinct garden scent and a trace of floral. Really, Bad Boy Cobalt smells like everything and should work well in many settings. It’s versatile and unlike any other fragrance you’ve encountered before.

If you’re adventurous and looking for a new signature scent, this is a solid consideration.

Legendary fragrance notes of violet leaf, bergamot, black tea, cinnamon, tobacco, myrrh, pimento, olive tree wood. Gorgeous scent has a calming effect. Now discontinued these bottles are going for outrageous prices.

Unique and seductive. I would love a back up bottle. One of Gucci’s greatest. 🔥🔥.

Love. Masculine, refined, layered. If James Bond wears cologne. this is it. The primary note is walking into a room in South Asia where premium black tea is dried. then the cinnamon and violet balance the tea with a touch of spice and floral sweetness.

It is discontinued, get it while you can, or pickup Parfums Vintage Imbue for a near-exact copy.

I always rely on Gucci colognes because of their amazing scents, long lasting smells, and brand reliability. This product in particular lasts a long time and I always get compliments on it. I pay the premium for gucci because they always deliver and never fall short of expectations.

I pay a premium for colognes and perfumes because of this. I will always use gucci colognes and perfumes.

So I’m at this phase where I’m ready to build a new perfume collection kind of out with the old in with the new and maybe some nostalgic fragrances from the past. So after some research I went to Ulta to try out the fragrances I was interested in trying and I was speaking to the clerk who has worked a lot in fragrances.

After spending some time with me she said how disappointing she was that she didn’t have a tester for the Versace Eros put femme – Because after testing various other one she was convinced I would love it she told me to try to find a tester at a different Ulta location.

Since I really didn’t have time to try to hunt down a tester I ended up blind purchasing the 100 ML. I have never blind bought a fragrance ever in my life as I am really way too selective when it comes to fragrances, but this was a lovely surprise she was right! I do enjoy this although I think this is more of a spring / summer scent it’s definitely a very wearable feminine sweet floral balanced well with citrus wood and musk.

She comes in strong at first but settles down well with soft feminine clean aroma, that is appropriate for every day and work. Did I mention the bottle ? Love.

A pretty citrus fragrance. It’s citrus, fruity and slightly woody and subtly sweet. Safe for work, crowd pleasing, safe blind buy if you enjoy citrus heavy frags. Performance is okay. Sillage is arms length throughout.

Longevity is about 4 hours. Decent for the price point. On my skin this does take on a screechy kitchen or bathroom cleaner nuance for about an hour but it does fade eventually. A lot of citrus heavy frags smell like cleaner on my skin to be fair and that’s why I either avoid them altogether or test them over the course of a month (our periods alter the way frags smell fyi).

This is feminine however some men can easily pull this one off. It lasts longer on clothing than skin. Reminds me of lemon gummy bears with some woodiness added. Follow me on IG @AshleyScentMe.

This has been my go to fragrance since it launched. It’s feminine and soft I love the way it makes me feel sexy when I spray it. I like to wear this on date nights or special occasions. Calabrian Bergamot, Jasmine Infusion, Sandalwood are the notes of this beautiful fragrance.

A little goes a long way! I’m usually more of a fruity type of girl not really into florals or woodsy fragrances but I’m afflicted to this perfume. I usually purchase it at Sephora. I’m on my second bottle.

Until the dry down from my first real wear of this I didn’t really find this unisex. I would have said it leans more for her and still been a hit if they marketed it as a “for her scent” Then again I find the original One Million and Invictus by Paco Rabanne pretty feminine too.

That’s just me and I’m far from a bro who bathes in Dior Sauvage or Creed Aventus. One youtuber claimed this was similar to an Initio fragrance called atomic rose and most male youtubers seem to like this that I saw so why not.

The big word that came up was how unique this is. I totally agree. To an extent this is a breath of fresh air. If I was in Moschino I would have probably sold this as a “For her” fragrance but their marketing team is brilliant.

They had fun. The bottle is memorable and the name is so fitting. The opening of this my mother described best. This smells like beer! Yet after a few minutes she shouts out from another room saying I REALLY LIKE THIS.

The rose and florals come out right away. the sweet freshness of the pear. But the florals in particular shouldn’t be a surprise as the charts that fragrantica published they come out swinging with those.

The rose isn’t like dollar store rose scented bathroom spray or feminine body washes. The pink pepper pairs really well with the other top notes. As it dries down there is a dark yet sweet undertone that starts to introduce itself and the floral notes attach themselves quite well and the rose starts to fade into the background as this dries down completely and you smell more of the pears.

I’m not a perfume expert but how they blended this is masterful from my first real wear. If someone put this in a 300$ bottle they would have no issues selling it but I’d fight tooth and nail if I worked at Moschino saying this is a for her fragrance.

I have no idea when I’d ever wear this. it’s way too floral for me. I got a decant of this to quality for free shipping and this was different and unique enough in my collection if I liked it. The website I use doesn’t have the largest decant selection so it was either this or a Versace decant.

However this was EDP and much more interesting than Eros or Dylan Blue considering I already have a ton of blue fragrances and didn’t want a cheapie to just freshen up my room with in the 10$ range. At the end of the day scent wise this isn’t for me and my personality or style as usually I like to recommend when to use it, longevity and that sort of thing we’ll see from my first wear.

I ended up gifting this after my first real wear either way.

I personally like the fragrance but honestly I’m not sure how often I will be able to wear it. It opens very strongly with a mix of spice and floral notes which can be very strong to certain noses. As it calms down on your skin it transforms more towards the rose and musk notes It lasts a very long time so its important to make sure it is applied in the right location, it can permeate rooms for days and stick to clothes for a similar lengths of time.

otherwise I can smell it on my skin still at least 24 hours after I spray it. While I personally like the smell, people I have asked have actively disliked or had mixed/neutral feelings towards it so it can be really divisive.

I bought it as a blind buy but I wouldn’t recommend going the same way as me, definitely try it out before you buy it if possible or get a sample instead of investing in the whole bottle online. I don’t want to dissuade anyone from buying this if they are sure they want to get it because again I personally really like it and I am going to try find opportunities to wear it but make sure you like it because most of the feedback I have gotten about it is to throw it out or how it makes someone nauseas :P.

I have a ton of fragrances, but this one stands out among the rest in the deliciously sweet candy realm that I like to step into every now and then. I get nothing but white gummy bears when I smell this.

Maybe a little woodiness on the skin several hours later, but there’s still that gummy candy lingering at the end of the day. I don’t normally wear this on its own, though. I do love to pair it with other scents that on the citrusy side or that are mostly floral.

It even plays nice with hearty wood fragrances. But I would not dare bring her along with a gourmand or vanilla, personally. This one needs the sun and warmth to shine as she should. I highly recommend anyone have even a travel spray of this in their collection.

Oh, and if you put a tiny bit of this in your hair. Everyone on the street will want to know your name as the scent wafts through the wind.

After trying the man cologne by Paris Hilton, I also wanted to give this a try because online just me has a lot more followers than the men cologne. I really like this one. It has a very warm and fall like whether sent.

The performance is not bad either like the other one it lasts about five hours for me after wanna apply. But I would really recommend this for the price it’s a very nice way to start a cologne collection.

Received a sample of this a couple years back as a home essentials direct gift, my husband tried it one night after running out of his ‘regular cologne'(omit top selling brand name), I couldn’t stop smelling him and amazingly couldn’t keep away from him, he received compliments daily! Since then, this is all he wears and I admit I love wearing it as well! I’d say it’s a UNISEX fragrences that adjust to the wearers body chemistry and is never over whelming! Very smooth and refreshing to the sensative nose, long lasting without reapplying.

Thanks Paris you did well!.

My husband loves it! It makes him smell so good! It’s definitely worth the price! I have the women’s one and I love that one too. We both use ours everyday! I had mine for almost a years and still the bottle is half way full!! You don’t need that many sprays for this one or the women’s one.

Two sprays is all you need! It last the whole day.

I started using this EDC a few years ago, after seeing a YouTube review. It’s a fragrance that I keep around all the time because it’s absolutely perfect for summer and spring- with its tart, crisp, refreshing scent.

However, I find that it’s also suitable for fall and winter, because I feel that it easily transforms into crisp and fresh rhubarb and berry, reminiscent of apple picking, cool air, crunchy leaves, and warm desserts.

To me, there isnt much sweetness at all, which is perfect when you want a fruit smell without a sugary or syrupy note. It’s tart for sure, but never sour. I think of my grandmothers strawberry rhubarb pies she used to make in the summer when I wear this stunning fragrance, and I also get many compliments!.

Such a good fragrance. I smelled it on store and now I’m want to add it to my collection. It smells like fresh juicy pink guava. If u ever smelled ripe juicy pink guava it’s exactly that and nothing else.

Honestly I don’t smell any other notes but I love that guava smell, it’s very real and not artificial. I came across this fragrance from Heart Evangelista’s perfume video collection. Such a good scent.

It’s unisex my brother love it as well.

This is a go to fragrance of mine and can’t beat the price point on 6. 7oz bottle for $180. This cologne does wear off after about 5-6 hours. It smells like rhubarb, is a little sweet but not over the top, and has a great musk in primary and secondary notes.

It’s fresh it’s delicate and there is nothing like it, that I have found. I highly recommend this fragrance!.
