ParfumoLe

I actually always found Jeremy kind of likeable and a cool guy (last year Jeremy lost his mind from my perspective, but I don't want to talk about that here now). I have also had pre-ordered Office 2018 before the fragrances were known. Fande Office also quite good and have therefore also struck at Date with a loyalty discount for 110€ (Who buys anything at Fragrance One without discount that is no longer to help, the OVPs are simply for marketing purposes).

What I always liked about Jeremy was that he always brought things across very simple and straight to the point, which I want to do from here on now.

Date for Men smells really quite good, but absolutely standard. There is really nothing special about him. Smells like any typical sweet-male going out fragrance. No character, generic and replaceable. There are always better alternatives for this scent. Uniqueness is one of Jeremy's three principles, it's not present here. Mass appeal and durability are the others, they are both there here, so the fragrance is not bad or it smells really good, but it is just like all the others and thus mediocre.

Still three notes:
The scent is much too strong, especially for a date. Jeremy said himself it should actually be Club for Men, but because the fragrance was too smooth, it was date. The sillage was obviously not adjusted.
I have worn the fragrance about 10 times when going out, get no compliments, only once a comment why I smell so strong. (4 spritz)
JF thinks you shouldn't buy TF Oud Wood because oud fragrances should smell like oud, but in Date for Men you can't smell any oud.
Jeremy says himself that the fragrance costs 5€ to produce. The high price is justified because perfumes are art and art does not depend on manufacturing costs.

So first I want to get rid of the fact that I'm a fan of Jeremy.
His aim is simply to smell good, to get compliments and attention and to be more attractive for girls. Even though many perfumers here may consider a perfume to be "art" and rate it accordingly (which is probably why the Hate is for Jeremy), I'm probably not alone when I wear fragrances mainly for the above reasons.
Jeremy had been raving continuously about his perfume: "Long lasting", "Unique" and "Mass apealing" should be it. "Maximum Compliment Factor" is on his website. "Best bottle", "Best sprayer", "Best name" and so on. Of course you have high expectations with such tones.

This morning the DHL messenger finally arrived and I could test the long-awaited scent.
My first impression:
The bottle and design are already the lowest drugstore shelf, it really looks so unbelievably cheap. The spray head is protected by a piece of cardboard, because the expensive perfume does not have a lid. There is absolutely nothing else included in the delivery, maybe a signed letter of thanks would have done well. What I also find bold on the side is that Jeremy asked for 10€ shipping for such a tiny package. But no matter how Jeremy used to say it: It depends on the juice inside.

So first on the backhand, spray the stuff. Smells very fresh, very masculine woody, doesn't knock you off your seat, but I like it, Mass Apealing is 100%. What strikes me as particularly positive is that it smells exactly as Jeremy described it. After CEO/Buisinessman, but not after a serious but after a Leonardo DiCaprio in Wolf of Wallstreet. The description "Alpha in the Office" by Jeremy is really shockingly accurate. For the suitable description there is first of all praise.
Just like for the Sillage, which isn't too blatant and obtrusive (on Bleu de Chanel level), but as soon as someone comes close he will perceive the scent. In my opinion this goes very well with a "Compliment getter", which is also an office fragrance.
The durability is also the madness, how long exactly I must still test this and will update here. But even the top note has vanished after 2h.

So he has a lot of appeal and durability, but he is not unique at all with the best will in the world. You only have to look at the pyramid of scents, because that's exactly how it smells, thrown together. Simple description: Smells like a teenager sitting next to one in the lane. After typical new modern fragrance DNA. Personally, he directly reminded me of a milder Dior Sauvage. "Uniqueness" promise was unfortunately not fulfilled here. If you want even a hint of a creative, daring or artistic fragrance, you are completely wrong with Office for men.

Of course all Jeremy fans here have only one question. Namely after the Ladys-Reactions or after the compliments. I will investigate this in the near future and update the durability here as well. Unlike Jeremy, I want more than 3 women to just sniff the top note on paper, so be as excited as me :)
For now, I hope you liked the description of my first impression and that it helped.
