Forest in a bottle ! Natural beautiful smell, non-synthetic, very appealing to woody scents lovers. Violets are proeminent and are doubled by cedar, turning to a very good drydown. Recommended, thumbs up ! My last bottle is from 2013 according to batch and it turns out that the projection and longevity are better than what they used to be at my 2010 batch. Could be a positive reformulation from Dsquared.

Classic. American. Cool.
Introduced as the real American fragrance, Tommy was a fresh and totally new scent category. Unexpectedly fresh, undeniably modern and unmistakably All-American. A spirited, engerizing men's fragrance harvested from the treasuers of the American landscape.
Tommy blends tangy citrus accords with wet fruity accents, the invigorating purity of rain, and swept fresh air with herbal notes.
Top Notes: Midwestern Spearmint, Iowa Lavender, Florida Grapefruit, Kentucky Bluegrass.
Heart Notes: Cape Cod Cranberry, Texas Yellow Rose, New England Apple Pie Accord.
Base notes: Mid-Atlantic Driftwood, Wyoming Cottonwood, Vermont Red Maple, Arizona Cactus Flower.

one of the best deals from escentual offerings. Not an incredible scent, quite ordinary actually, a bit green, with decent performances and a great price (its in the same price range with Playboys fragrances or some other supermarket offerings). Recommened for youngsters, 16-22 years old.

Triumphant and masculine, the Paco Rabanne Invictus Eau de Toilette is an ode to the champion at the top of his game.
Invictus represents a clash of powers and sensations, where biting freshness meets magnetism in a virile, enduring signature. It is the incarnation of the contemporary hero, a son of Olympus whose invincible success borders on the mythological. A god of the stadium who is first and foremost a man.
The addictive, tactile fragrance takes flight with an invigorating marine accord, paired with the sharpness of grapefruit and aromatic bay leaf. Its other half is deeper and more seductive, revealing the unusual headiness of gaiac wood with ambergris and patchouli. Invictus is a true weapon of seduction for the hero whom nothing and no one can resist.
Our Fragrance Expert says:
""Invictus is a sports fragrance with unique touches. It uses metallic notes to create a new kind of freshness and an almost piquant level of clarity. A warm base of salty ambergris, spiky woods and a touch of amber help make for a fully realised and versatile fragrance that is suitable for wear on and off the pitch.
Housed in a bottle shaped like a trophy and fronted by Australian Rugby League Player Nick Youngquest, Invictus is a fragrance that speaks of champions, victory and almost mythical sporting achievements fought for in vast arenas where sportsmen are viewed as rock stars - gods and gladiators of the stadia."
Vibrant Accord: Marine Accord, Grapefruit Zest, Bay Leaf
Magnetic Accord:Gaiac Wood, Ambergris, Patchouli

An yet another very sweet release from PR house. And again synthetic, again resembling chemical fruity smell. If you are a fan of 1 Million, you will enjoy this. Else you will hate it. Very good longevity and projection.

this one is better than the original Code Sport, the citrus is more proeminent and so is the mint. Even its an Eau Fraiche, the performances are very good (longevity is great and projection is above average). Its a very good release for summer days at the office or even in summer nights at an open-bar or party.

nothing groundbreaking, a bit spicy and with a hint of coffee, an average scent but very good for the budget oriented persons.

Dolce & Gabbana The One Sport Eau de Toilette Spray 30ml
Experience the essence of competition with the Dolce & Gabbana The One Sport Eau de Toilette, an exhilarating elixir of energy.

An aromatic heart of sequoia wood is enhanced with the subtle spiciness of cardamom for a deeply masculine signature. The charismatic scent is rounded off with a resonating drydown of patchouli and musk. Top Notes: Rosemary, Aquatic Notes Heart Notes: Sequoia Wood, Cardamom Base Notes: Patchouli, Musks

I waited for this release really excited, but unfortunately it has not lived up to my expectations. Its a generic aquatic fragrance with terrible longevity and projection, turning very watery as if its not even a fragrance. D&G had quite a miss with this one unfortunately.

i will start by saying that the bottle is really nice. Then about the fragrance: strong melon note in the beggining and evolves a bit green in the drydown. Its an OK fragrance for summer and whats more important is that it is a budget oriented fragrance, its not expensive and you get a good quality for what you pay.

This has always resembles me Lolita Lempicka Au Masculin on my skin. Without such a strong licorice note but with a green note added, the eucalipthus. Its actually a more masculine release of LLAM, with very good longevity and projection, but it comes a bit synthetic in the drydown.

Discover the pinnacle of male sensuality with the Yves Saint Laurent M7 Eau de Toilette, a warm and resonating fragrance first introduced in 2002.
The smoky, woody scent of YSL Oud Absolu is one of excess. All of the notes are overdosed, from the freshness of mandarin to the complexity of the spicy drydown.
A vibrant opening quickly makes way for a potent heart of potent patchouli wood. The oud accord of Yves Saint Laurent M7, the most intensely scented of woods, is blended with cistus and exotic amber for a resoundingly sexy trail. An addictive and tenacious scent that is resolutely contemporary.
Top Notes: Mandarin
Heart Notes: Patchouli
Base Notes: Cistus, Myrrh, Oud, Amber

very good fragrance, it resembles the vintage M7 but the siroupy note from the original release is lowered in this new version. The Oud is proeminent at start and patchouli becomes quite notable in the drydown. Very good longevity and above average projection.

good summer fragrance
Date:22 September 2013
a very good fruity fragrance which is not really synthetic, its refreshing in summer or spring, has decent projection but infortunately it lacks some depth, the longevity being quite spotty at times.
