Not the best from Ed Hardy
Ed Hardy, what can I say? Your masculine fragrances just aren't my cup of tea. I've tried to appreciate the Ed Hardy brand, and I'm talking in terms of his fragrances because his clothing is not well known in Australia. For some reason, his fragrances to my nose smell cheap, despite their popularity. Ed Hardy for Women was the only fragrance of his that I'll admit to liking.
In the initial stages Ed Hardy for Men is a little sharp, especially in regards to the citrus accords. There's a strange ozonic quality in there too, that when blended with the mint, (or mint julep accord as Gypsy Parfumista has corrected), creates such a strange and somewhat awkward blend.
The scent continues in its sharp and ozonic nature through to the heart, where the sage and woods attempt to turn this fragrance into something spicy in hopes of giving it that sexy edge. Personally I think the citrus and spices clash too loudly.
The only pleasing aspect to my nose was the drydown, which turned ambery and soft. It was a little generic however, which turned me off it as a result.
Lasting power is so-so, as is the sillage, even though it comes on strong in the opening. I'll say that Ed Hardy for Men is masculine, but not something that I would personally enjoy smelling on a man.
