Right off the bat I get the barbershop fougere vibe. I get Lemons and mint in the inital blast coming off almost like toilet/kitchen cleaner. 10-15 minutes later it gets better. It becomes more pleasant and more elegant. I really wanna try the Parfum though because I hear so much good about it. Im one of the biggest fans of barbershop fragrances because thats what all the older successful men wore when I was a kid growing up. Doctors, Business Owners,Lawyers, Men in Buisiness suits who made money wearing these type of fragrances is what the barbershop fougere means and represents to me. Its something you wear and communicates a language that you mean business. So if you plan to purchase just be prepared to let this fragrance dry down and do its magic. This is in my barbershop line up which includes Azzaro pour homme, Quorum,Oscar de la Renta Pour Lui,Ralph Lauren Safari,Aramis by Aramis, and Burberry for men, which are all very good barber shop fragrances. I never like the initial blast of Pasha de Cartier edt, but the dry down is a different story. First thing that comes to my mind is a park bench on a cool spring morning with the sun shining through the clouds hitting the bench with wild flowers in the backround and beautiful green grass along the path in the park. Now thats just what I see and visulize, not what I actually smell. The orange is more lemon to me in my opinion. Where im gonna wear this is probably at home, on walks, and to church and very formal events. Places I wouldnt where it is at work wear it might be offensive. This fragrance should be used very minimal because it can be very strong if applied more than 3-4 sprays. Plus its becoming more in more unpopular and again it can be offensive to people who don't appreciate classic gentlemen fragrances. Scent summary: Lemons, mint, corriander, sandlewood are mainly what Im picking up. I look forward to Pasha de Cartier Parfum. What sold me on getting this was Dallas on Chaos Fragrances Youtube channel. I got this as a gift request last Christmas. Overall I give this a solid 7 out of 10.

I got this one thinking it would be a banger from hype reviews. In my opinion I got another slightly synthentic bubble gummy woody scent. Yeah, definitely Ralph's club when he's clubbing. It's good, It gets compliments. This fragrance lacks uniqueness. This fragrance is best suited for evening wear. Suited for events like clubbing, bar hopping, bowling, playful nights. Don't get me wrong it's a nice fragrance. An unsurprising fragrance. It's a playful fruity and very youthful fragrance. Perfect for young people starting out in fragrances. It's a good scent, but an overplayed scent in the bubble gummy scent game in my opinion.

When I first sprayed I'm like "ok, it's Allright". It's not like wow, amazing. It smells good though. It's got fruity apple with a woody base. The ladies though, I can tell they like it and i got a compliment first time wearing it. Plus I can tell when women and people get into my space to get a better whiff. This is a great and cool add on to my collection.

Chocolate at the base and iris at the top. Futura la homme by armaf is almost identical, but minus the chocolate. I've smelled Dior homme and I can tell the big difference. Dior homme gives off that woody elegant lip sticky vibe and as for DHI intense is on the sweeter side. A co-worker introduced me to Dior homme and I was very impressed how elegant it smelled. The intense to me is like a second or third date and beyond fragrance. I wouldn't wear it to work because it seems to romantic to me. Doesn't fit the work place setting I'm in. I'm very pleased with this purchase. I knew it would smell like my Futura La Homme after reading reviews, but I was still intrigued. Finally my question got answered, and the answer is it smells great. I would definitely rank it lower than Dior Homme. Dior Homme just seems like a more power smell and vibe in its character. Dior Homme Intense is like a bar/dinner and dancing character. Dior Homme is like the refined Gentleman giving a speech and the Intense is the playful/flirty telling jokes while having drinks at night. It'll be interesting to test out in the field. I never make my final judgment until after I've tested in the field.

This is a shower gel scent to me. Off the top is woody, cedar, and citrus. Some people say it's strong. The atomizer is top notch, sprays very nicely. The bottle is very nice. I like it. The first few sprays I was skeptical. It has this lingering metallic/ bitterness in the backround. Definitely overpowered by woods. The Bottle is really nice.
