a great scent in its class ;)
I am generally not averse to the fragrance brand Mexx, as some more refined perfume noses might be; Mexx Black actually counts among my favorite scents when it comes to a pleasant, everyday fragrance companion. I also find Mexx Woman and Mexx Man Summer 2011 to be extremely successful scents in their price segment. For a small amount of money, I get fragrances that I really enjoy wearing, that I like, and that make me feel comfortable. I can now also include Mexx Fresh Man in the list I sketched above.

Although I was somewhat confused by the fragrance notes described here on Parfumo (and presumably by the manufacturer) when comparing them to my personal impressions, this does not detract from my positive assessment. However, I find that the heart and top notes described here actually come into play in exactly the opposite order. After spraying, I first perceive a fresh, spicy, and slightly green scent, against which a fruity-citrusy note gradually pushes to the forefront. This passion fruit aroma remains consistent and dominant throughout the fragrance's progression and is nestled on a wonderful, slightly sweet and subtly smoky amber wood note.

Of course, one must make concessions in terms of sillage and longevity - after about three hours, hardly anything of the three sprays applied is noticeable. However, I believe that there is nothing to criticize regarding the pure quality of the fragrance itself. Additionally, I would like to mention that I do not think this is purely a men's fragrance. I would clearly classify it as a unisex scent, although this may not mean much coming from me, as I do not believe in categorizing fragrances by gender or at least do not adhere to these "boundaries."

All in all, Mexx Fresh Man is thus an extremely successful and pleasing fragrance that can never reach the class of higher-end perfumes and does not reveal an olfactory revolution, but it does not attempt to do so at all; rather, it impresses simply through its simple yet harmonious nature and thereby serves as further proof that Mexx knows how to establish itself as one of the few convincing and appealing brands in the low-price segment.

You get what you expect
This fragrance was in my shopping cart last month. It was part of my last bulk order. Since it was super cheap, I decided not to test it. Now and then, I also buy very affordable drugstore fragrances because you can't go wrong for the price. The undisputed champion is Jaguar Gold. The best example that good fragrances don't always have to cost 50+. Mexx has also remained in my memory as a solid brand. No real bombs, but definitely solid fresh scents for everyday use.

What did I expect from this fragrance: Of course, it should be clear to everyone that you won't get anything special for this price. I expected a fresh fruity scent that lasts a few hours. You get that from this fragrance as well. I mainly bought this fragrance because of the passion fruit. A fruit that I really love. It is also in the foreground here. I don't really smell many notes here. It comes across really fresh.
The quality is also okay. It doesn't smell expensive, but for the price category, it's really fine. The sillage isn't that great. A few more sprays wouldn't hurt here. The longevity is normal for a drugstore fragrance. It lasts 4-5 hours. It's well-suited for simple activities in warmer weather.

This fragrance isn't really masculine either. Whether male or female, anyone who likes passion fruit can wear this scent. At about 12 euros for 50ml, it's also very affordable.

Conclusion: A fragrance that doesn't need to be dissected. You shouldn't have too high expectations for drugstore fragrances. In its price range, it's a great scent. Overall, you get what you expect from a fragrance in this price category.

Ah yes... My faithful companion through my teenage years :-)
Often, when I'm in a drugstore, I spray it on my inner elbow and smell it. Immediately, I get flashbacks to my youth, when I was 15-18 years old. Beautiful times!

I bought it back then with my pocket money and received really surprisingly many compliments for it.
It smells quite sweet at first, slightly green, and then transitions into a "freshly showered" direction.

A great fragrance if you perhaps don't have much money for expensive perfumes yet, which is why I would recommend it more to people under 20. I think it's perfect for school or a date.
For me, suitable for spring, summer, and late summer/autumn.

Longevity and sillage are really okay for the purchase price. However, one shouldn't expect too much.
I get about 3-4 hours out of it, then I reapply.

Conclusion: Trying is better than studying! For me, a fragrance that definitely stands out in its price range.

Fruity Sweetness
Mexx Fresh Man is one of the best drugstore fragrances. A lovely fruity sweetness, without coming across as too synthetic. Of course, the EdT doesn't have good performance and sillage. But you can't expect that at the price of €8. The scent is very pleasing, it doesn't offend. Passion fruit is dominant, the fragrance smells to me like a sweet tutti frutti. I like to store it in the fridge and then refresh myself with it. Spray it on generously, even on clothing, then you can enjoy it for longer than 2 hours and perceive it from the outside.

The scent itself is top-notch. Longevity/sillage is poor. Price/performance is great; for €8, you can definitely apply more.

My first self-purchased fragrance...
One of the best drugstore fragrances that delivers a lot for its price. Delicious freshness and fruity sweetness that simply create a well-groomed and clean impression. I still enjoy wearing Mexx Fresh Man, for example when exercising or after showering, when I want to lay on the couch smelling particularly fresh. It's also very nice for summer!
However, one shouldn't expect too much for the price. It smells uncomplicated, slightly synthetic, and doesn't have an incredibly long-lasting power (about 2 hours on my skin).
But at this price, you really can't go wrong....

I expected a scent that's so fresh and fruity it'll pop off the tester strip
Yet it's quite bitter
It's okay though ^^

A very nice passion fruit note throughout. It's rather fresh & simple, but pleasant to wear. Delicious!

The best top note in summer perfumes. Passion fruit at its best. THE ultimate beach scent.

Sorry, not at all. Worse art punch at unfortunately the lowest drugstore level. What a shame.

fresh-fruity, but not long-lasting. It might have been interesting for me without the fruity note.

Very sweet, a bit too feminine for me... doesn't last long and the sillage isn't anything special, one of the weaker Mexx.

A fruity, fresh, sweet fruit scent. The fragrance smells nice but isn't anything special. A good scent for teenagers, though.

Lax synthetic fruity water.
Drugstore scents have their place, but there are definitely better ones!
