24

I really like this, its a nice oud with citrus, doesn't really smell like anything ive tried before so i cant give a comparision, its good quality too, doesn't smell cheap at all. I think this more oud based than the other offerings from scentstory which can be off putting for some people. If you own the fragrance, try layering with a tiny dab of oud oil

I harshly overlooked this range, based on branding. So far only tried this one, extreme lavender, which some liked, some didn't. I really like this, the opening burst was very woody, the drydown much softer. Longevity was first rate, I had one spray of this, on the other hand a spray of ferragamo homme, three hours of that, close yo seven with 24.

What I can say, lovely citrusy well rounded long lasting, although I think alcohol had evaporated from the bottle. But it's cheap I'm not too upset(pity 24). I kept 5ml as I do with my favourite so hopefully I won't buy it again, till I reduce my collection and that it'll take decades(seriously over 200, crazy me!)

If there was one fragrance that I wore and received so many compliments from, it's definitely this one! It is such a dense and fruity fragrance and serves well for lounge, nightclub, or even formal evenings. Love it!!

Such a sweet, strong, unique fragrance. Smells even better as it dries down. It is long lasting and has a good sillage, but it can not be compared with 24 gold. Rating = 8.5/10. Recommended.

fruity,peppery woody heaven and as Fred Astaire used to sing "i'm in heaven" ...its so sexy ,its romantic it makes you amorous.....so obviously i love it

Scentstory 24 For Men opens with a moderate projection of sweety, citrus, spicy, oud, and woody accords. The opening is very aromatic, complex, all notes come up at once and with similar intensity, but it is a relatively pleasant opening. The lemon, mandarin orange, and bergamot are an ephemerous note, they come up, become bright, and start dissipating; the vanilla is a base note but it comes up as soon as the fragrance is applied, it adds a noticeable aromatic sweetness; the oud is next, a base note that also comes up as soon as the fragrance is sprayed, noticeable but not pungent; the spices are the next important group of notes, the mint has important participation, green, cooling and fresh; the coriander, nutmeg, caraway, pink pepper, and anise, blend their tones creating a note that is closer to the pepper and anise. The amber and musk are projecting notes without any significant participation themselves. Finally, the oakmoss and woodsy notes join the oud creating a mossy and dark wood accord. There are a few and important opening to dry-down changes in this fragrance, first, the citrus come and go, they are a quick opening accord; second, the mint stays longer but dissipates halfway into the dry-down; and third, the fragrance loses intensity fast, changing from low, all notes become faint and blend into a mostly woody and spicy accord. Once Scentstory 24 For Men has reached its full dry-down, it can be summarized as a low projection, slightly sweet, spicy (pepper, anise), and dark mossy wood (oud, oakmoss, woods) fragrance with very soft mint accords. The fragrance feels inexpensive, dark, classy, diluted, earthy, faint, low-quality, masculine, mature, poorly-blended, resinous, short-lived, dark woody, and pleasant. BATCH REVIEWED: 2020. WOW RATING: 3/10. Impressive but short-lived opening that leads to an unimpressive faint, spicy, woody and mossy fry-down. DISLIKE RATING: 3/10. The oud, moss, and spices are noticeable. UNIQUENESS: 6/10. The notes and resulting scent are relatively common. MASS APPEAL: 3/10. Oud, moss, and spices are not mass appeal fragrances. PROJECTION: 2/10. Low, about 2 feet around the wearer. SILLAGE: 2/10. Low, about 2 feet behind the wearer. APPLICATION: 6 atomizations. LONGEVITY: 3/10. Moderate to low, it projects for less than 1 hour, then it becomes a skin scent. SEASONS: Winter, spring, fall, colder days, and climate-controlled environments. OCCASIONS: Formal events, outdoor gatherings, office, casual, holidays clubbing. This is an office-friendly fragrance. VERSATILITY: 7/10. A fragrance that is better suited for colder weather. GENDER: Masculine, the oud, and spices give it a masculine character. AGES: 30 and above. RECOMMENDATION: Scentstory 24 For Men is a good woody and spicy fragrance but it lacks performance. Not recommended. BLIND-BUY: No, sample it first. SIMILAR: Here are some examples of oud fragrances. Amouage Jubilation XXV Man's EDP is a great oud and sweet fruity fragrance; Mancera Gold Intensitive Aoud Unisex EDP mixes oud, flowers, citrus, and musk creating a superior fragrance; Mancera Black Gold combines oud, floral, and leather, a fantastic scent; Mancera Aoud Lemon Mint is another unisex, oud, citrus, almond, and leather fragrance; Mancera Gold Prestigium Unisex EDP is one of the best Mancera oud, leather, roses, and vanilla scent; Montale Paris Oudmazing is a sweet, fruity, and oud fragrance; Montale Paris Honey Aoud mixes honey, oud, and cinnamon, another great creation; Montale Aoud Leather EDP is a strong white leather, oud, and spices, fragrance; Tom Ford Oud Wood Intense EDP is one of the many ouds, leather, and spices fragrance that this house offers; finally, Zaharoff Signature Pour Homme blends ginger and oud; Parfums de Marly Shagya, which is a woody/oud and citrus soft fragrance; Nasomatto Pardon is a natural smelling oud that brings gourmand and soft floral tones; Mercedes-Benz Le Parfum brings soft oud accords and light green tones; Scentstory 24 For Men is a soft pepper, anise, oud, and mossy fragrance. SUMMARY: A low projection, slightly sweet, spicy (pepper, anise), and dark mossy wood (oud, oakmoss, woods) fragrance with very soft mint accords. The fragrance feels inexpensive, dark, classy, diluted, earthy, faint, low-quality, masculine, mature, poorly-blended, resinous, short-lived, dark woody, and pleasant.

Okay so I've approached this backwards in terms of reviewing, I actually tried this second after the brilliant Gold and was not overly impressed then blind bought Platinum and Go dark which I really enjoyed. So 24 is a strange one, I wouldn't describe it as a citrus fragrance really although it opens with citrus and mandarin orange which is fresh and familiar. Then the heart is dense which I can only compare to the smell of fresh bandages and an antiseptic vibe a little like Germolene but not as harsh. It's an unusual one in that I can't place the notes(except the fruity top notes and vanilla and amber maybe?) but 24 creates an accord that reminds me of the resinous, ambery scent of Loewe Solo Platinum. Strangely it also shares a resemblance in terms of packaging the partially blacked out bottle with windows revealing amber juice on either side. Also I put the cap from the Loewe on the 24 bottle and it looks awesome, certainly better than the silver stopper. I'm not saying they smell the same, they have clear differences but also similarities when compared side by side which I have done. The Longevity on this fragrance is excellent it really lasts a long time on my skin 8 hours plus at least. So my conclusion? 24 is not bad but it's not great either I got it due to it being super cheap and having enjoyed the others in the range. I have to say that scent story have created 4 wonderfully diverse and appealing fragrances at a very reasonable price, exemplary stuff! 1. GOLD Genius one of my all time favourite fragrances a true masterpiece. 2. PLATINUM is dank and woody. I love this intense Oud/Amber/Rose combo but this scent is not for everyone. 3. Go Dark is a very good masculine scent and I would certainly recommend it but I did find the longevity a bit disappointing for this range...but it's still okay just a minor criticism. 4. 24 is not my thing really but it's okay. 4.

@Freedomlover, All my Fragrances are stored in my bedroom which is an attic extension, so cool, dry and dark. I usually grab whatever I'm using that day and take it in to the bathroom with me to apply after a shower and then take back to my room or to work with me to top up later in the day, but the black laminate on the bottle started to crumble and break off the first time it got exposed to a bit of humidity which was disappointing. This is a ridiculously good value scent, so I'll tolerate it, but if I'd paid £30/40 plus for this I would probably take it back as I keep my wardrobe displayed in a kind of OCD fashion in my room and while it's a minor issue, it will bug me. Great scent though, my wife loves it, fantastic value for money! I understand you changing your mind on this one as I was unsure the first time I tried it, but it really is very good and a little bit different. It's one of those Fragrances that's a bit harsh if you put your nose directly on your skin, but the scent cloud it gives off is fantastic.

Bought 100ml blind for £9 along with the 'Go Dark' flanker (which was the same price). Fantastic for the money, I don't see this as generic or safe at all. There is a slight 'urine' smell but it's just subtle enough to be pleasant. Very fresh, great longevity a little bit weird, interesting and different. Huge bang for your buck, the only disappointment being the bottle which started to peel after I took it in the bathroom. Given the price and the quality of the scent, I'll tolerate that.

Smell: Sweet and elegant, yet from my perspective, it still smells manly. Longevity: Lasts 7+ hours on my skin. 1 chest, 1 right wrist and 1 on the back of my neck or the front (depends if I'm in the mood to be choked and sniff this fragrance a constant). Sillage: Heavy sillage, 6 feet in my opinion. Occasion: I USED to wear this to university but I have had a bad experience with it recently because I smelt too much of it and now it doesn't feel special to my nose as it used to. Anyway, I believe this is a good clubbing, formal and date scent. Best worn at night. I'm not too sure about the season, but it smells like it is meant to be for fall and winter (colder days); I may try it in the summer to see how it goes as well. Age rating: Definitely for any age, but appeals more towards men and younger men (maybe not 50+). Design: I quite like the design, it's not exactly the best I've seen, nor worst. Would I buy this again: Yes and I did! Now I own myself 200ml of this lovely beauty. My final verdict: 8/10. Even though my nose has kind of been getting an annoyance from it recently, I still enjoy the scent. Don't over apply and it will be admired, over apply and not only may you get hates, but you yourself will begin to dislike the fragrance. Less is more with this one. But all in all, I do love this fragrance, it smells like no other in my collection.

this was an odd oud. surprisingly pleasant for a summer day. I really like the opening which isn't too light but very fruity. Something quite cinnamon in the drydown makes me fond of this as im more of a gourmand scent person. Performance is surprisngly good on the skin after a shower. I'd wear this one for Eid.

I really don't like this one. The opening is harsh minty orange or something. Very off-putting for me. I have come across this note in a couple of other fragrances but I can't remember which they are. This is a deal breaker for me. Headache-inducing.

dont get this if you dont like lavender. similar to cool water in that regard. lots of sweet, orangy, spicy lavender.

When I first tried it instantly brought to mind Indian restaurants. I live in the UK and UK has a lot of Indian restaurants that smell like 24 Original. I went about trying to figure out what is common to Indian cooking and this scent. I think it may be the cinnamon, caraway, nutmeg coriander and pink pepper which are all common to Indian cooking. I found this scent to quite cloying, fairly complex. It is certainly not one of my favourites considering I don't particularly like Indian cooking. Although, I found that at about the 6 hour mark it did smell quite interesting. Overall I find this scent quite overpowering. It is completely different and unrelated to 24 Gold in my opinion. This scent is remarkably similar to Nikos Sculpture and much, much stronger than Versace the Dreamer which is also similar.

Well i can see why people think that there is a simalarity between Sculpture and 24 but in my opinion they are fairly easy to tell apart they both have that element of freshness from the mixture of the mint and citrus but IMO Sculpture has much more of a sweet sugary vibe which is there from start to finish but with 24 the sweetness is somewhat toned down. Sculpture was my signature fragrance for quite a number of my teenage years and beyond so am quite good at telling it apart from other smell alikes but i can see the simalarites that people would smell between the two but to me Sculpture will always be in my top 3 and if you like 24 but want a slightly classier scent then go with Sculpture which is at least in my part of the world £10 cheaper than 24.

24 the original fragrance is certainly a little weaker than the rest of the line; an incomplete citrus, a sort of orange creamsicle vibe akin to Thierry Mugler Ultra Zest, but not quite as good. It's very pleasant, just not entirely well-rounded. The top and heart are dominated by a blend of oranges (clementine, mandarin, blood) and in the based, woods and some other notes are mixed in. It's relatively simple and relatively pleasant, just not a standout of the line in the scheme of things, nor something interesting enough that I would pursue it, as there are plenty of other citruses out there, and Ultra Zest is a better creamiscle. 6 out of 10

I paid only £7.50 for this from a major grocery retailer and to be honest didn't have high hopes...however it's a fair bit better than I had hoped. Firstly it's very wearable and not likely to offend. The mandarin stays pretty much to the front all the way through with the other notes melding smoothly into the background. No one could ever accuse it of being complex but it has a certain simple charm and will probably get some use for holiday beach trips. Not sure that I would recommend though...it certainly feels like it has a time and a place (beach bar etc.) and it's decent quality with decent performance but it's ultimately forgettable.

I like this fragrance it is more like Dunhill but not sure witch one,but i remember that my brother had Dunhill fragrance and it was a red color,so this one is smell same as Dunhill...Last long and sillage are not bad,people around can notice scent.The best time to use this fragrance is in the fresh morning after morning shower,that will give you a real freshness during the morning hours,,, Scent 10/10 Longevity 8/10 Sillage 8/10

There seems to be a lot of hate for this fragrance and im not sure why. Sure it may not be to the quality of Gold and Platinum but still its a very good fragrance that lasts a good amount of time - 8 hours plus on me - and is a lovely scent. It reminds me of Diesel Plus Plus masculine but performs way better. Besides this show me another fragrance that performs this well and ticks so many boxes for £10
