Also, there is a red berry mix, mostly raspberry with just a hint of cassis rounding out the fruity top.

I know the first time I smelled Polo Red, I thought that smells just like Plus Plus which is a whole lot cheaper. One of my absolute favourite scents from many many years ago and it still sends me back nostalgia wise. I do like this fragrance for what it is, though, and can see it being a cheap, dumb-grab staple in my collection for the cooler months if I don't get bored of it.Longevity in perfumes refers to the duration of time that a fragrance remains detectable on the skin or in the air after it is applied. It is important to note that the longevity factor alone should not be the sole determinant in choosing a perfume.

I'm not sure if I had a bottle from a bad batch, but whenever I would wear it, I would pick up on some off-smelling scent, almost fart-like.

Top notes are Orange, Bergamot, Palm Leaf and Heliotrope; middle notes are Jasmine, Coriander, Violet, Birch, Sage, Green Notes, Cardamom and Lily-of-the-Valley; base notes are Cinnamon, Tonka Bean, Nutmeg, Sandalwood, Patchouli, Musk, Clove, Anise, Vetiver and oak moss. The sandalwood note is abstract using synthetic molecules, and a heavy dose of coumarin, isobutivan and vanillin plant this fragrance comfortable among its contemporaries of the late 90's / early 00's. Birch bark is also the main flavour ingredient in a soft drink that many of many American and Canadian readers will will imediatley be able to conjure up memories of - Dr.

This was one of my most favourites back in the day, and anyone who uses a particular scent knows if it’s genuine or not. The heart of this fragrance in my opinion, is the use of Birch Bark, and it is what puts the middle layer of the fragrance into prime gourmande territory. Nikos is indeed similar, but diurnal and more orange blossom, white floral nature, while this is an ambroxan bomb of tutti-frutti sweet debauchery.Any fragrance which uses pimento (such as one of my all time favs Versailles Homme) immediatley grabs my nose's attention and Diesel Plus Plus did exactly that from the first spritz many years ago. Plus Plus is also a fruity perfume, the selection of fruits used is one that would go well with ice (such as in a pina colada), I definitley smell allyl amyl glycomate, which is used to produce a pineapple scent, as well as the tiniest touch of aldehyde c-18 to give the coconuty aspect. It is to me a perfect balance of all the elements of a teenagers/young man's romantic daytime perfume; freshness, fruityness, woodyness, masculinity, spice and above all a large dose of je ne sais quoi. it's a very nice unique smell that isn't talked about too much, all though i see alot of spanish content creators reviewing it so maybe it's very popular down there.

Sprayed a test piece and wasn’t to sure however as the day went on I realised it’s not the original also knowing that diesel stopped making this a while back. The perfect synergy of these notes is something that a fragrance such as Lacoste Pour Homme (grey bottle) can only wish it could achieve. The top of this pyramid is certainly very complicated and well balanced, while the rest of the blogosphere goes on about Roadster's use of mint, this forgotten masterpiece goes unmentioned as possibly on of the best integrations of mint in perfume history. Bought a bottle from fragrancex in the hope that it still smells like it used to do back in the day!The transition from the Almairac-esque opening to this lively base is actually pretty pleasant, and I strongly disagree with anyone saying it's a linear fragrance.
