Blind Purchase
I like the FCUK him. I had ordered this one with the addition "Connect" blindly, as it was quite cheap in the sale.
It is thick, leathery, penetrating. Imagine opening the 70-year-old leather toiletry bag of an even older gentleman, in which aftershave has spilled more than once, and taking a whiff of it.
Unbearable. Still, it always stays in my memory as my first bad blind purchase experience. It can't go well forever.

Expected more & still disappointed
Somehow I had quite high expectations. Maybe it was the bottle, which I really like. I appreciate the simple design. Or perhaps it was because there are relatively few reviews/opinions available, and I hoped for the chance to find "that one special perfume" that no one really has on their radar. Or simply the desire to finally find something fresh that I like and want to wear. I am quite picky about that. But let's leave it at that.
The top notes are there. Even quite intense. Alongside a slightly sour mandarin, there are brutal citrus notes. The ginger is exceedingly and excessively artificial. I could hardly detect any cardamom.
The heart takes its time. Along with the still biting citrus notes, there is a hint of cypress and juniper. Rose and lavender? Not really. Maybe just a fleeting whisper in the corner of the nose.
I hoped the base would impress. Unfortunately, there was hardly any insight here either. Interestingly, the piercing citrus notes are still dancing right at the forefront. I left it for an hour and hoped for the best. The dry-down is more pleasant, but still not convincing. Boring.
Long story short:
Familiar, perhaps somewhat evolved DNA. At one end, way too much, at the other, too little. It didn't blow me away, and I don't want to wear it either.
In my opinion, not suitable for a blind buy - better to test it yourself first.
One person might agree with me, while another might be totally into it. That's just how it is. But that keeps things interesting.

Incomprehensibly Underrated for Me
In 2003, some young ladies and gentlemen were walking through the shopping streets distributing sample booklets of FCUK her and him. I was immediately taken with it, and it didn't take long before the first bottle stood on my shelf. Many more bottles followed - and many compliments.
FCUK him reminds me of JPG Le Male without being a clone/duplicate. It is a unique, very characteristic composition that, in my opinion, can be worn for any occasion and also as a signature scent. Fresh, floral, spicy, sweet, with a hint of ocean ... it combines many elements that I can still perceive well in the drydown.
Longevity and sillage are, in my opinion, always dependent on the weather and also on whether one spends most of the time indoors or outdoors - and, by the way, also on one's own skin. I would describe both for a perfume in this low price range as very good. You will definitely be noticed, and I would want to refresh after 6 hours+.
