Power by 50 Cent

As a weird, possibly blasphemous (for serious frag fanatics), background story as to why I own this fragrance... This is my car's current scent. I recently made the mistake of spraying some "New Car Smell" chemical atrocity into my mats that left me gagging for days. After going through about four different air fresheners, I realized maybe I could find a discount cologne or EDT to spritz and refresh my car that wouldn't build up or leave a funk. Enter Perfumania and Power by 50 Cent! *Main Impression The bottle. Considering the super affordable price (under $20 where I shop), I'm impressed by the heavy but not too bulky glass, and substantial cap which feels like it incorporates both plastic and metal (even if it really doesn't). If you didn't know it was a celebuscent, you might mistake it for designer. The scent. Upon opening, it is a fresh, vaguely green entrance. It almost smells herbaceous or lavender-ish at first. Then the musk and moss peek in for a hot second before you get the pepper and spices. Patchouli, where? I have a huge adverse reaction to patchouli, but this is so tame and smooth, I wonder how they did it. A reviewer before said it best to the tune of this having has an aquatic note, but it being more like a "wet patchouli." After about an hour, it's pepper/spice and patch and maybe a little moss to calm things down. It's masculine, but not in your face. *Longevity On my (female) skin, I get maybe 2-3 hours, but I'll need to put my nose to skin after about the first hour to catch it. In my vehicle, in winter, it lasts about an hour drive maybe two tops. I spray maybe three to four spritzes every other day into the cabin of my car, and each time, I can barely smell it more than six hours later. However, I could be a bit nose blind after a week of consistent use. I think another reviewer said it perfectly that this is an errand fragrance--safe enough to wear in a variety of places, but not strong enough to stick around and conflict with your going-out-later scent choice. *Would I buy again? For $9.99 at my local Perfumania store? Heck yeah! I feel like it's a great fragrance for those who are looking to move away from the overbearing spicy or usual commercial notes provided in brands like AXE (haha) or BOD. It is rather unique and surprisingly luxe for celebuscent, considering the price. A definite hidden gem, if you're down for the notes.

I was pleasantly surprised when I first smelled this on a sample page in Details magazine. Finally, a celeb-scent that smelled different... This begins with bitter green artemisia, lemon leaves and what I feel must be white pepper, as it is not too spicy. Smmoooth...but sharp enough to get your attention. From there it becomes an blend of herbal corriander and smooth sweet nutmeg with a dark woody feel, like a cool dark forest in autumn. Despite the herbs and spices and the woods, this stays very 'clear' smelling and never gets too pungent. I guess one could compare the end of this to PB, but then again moss, patchouli and musk are quite common in mens scent-bases, and though this is very well executed, it lacks the smooth suede of the PB. The musk is very clean to me, and the moss and patchouli blend into a 'raw' earthy accord that is very intruiging but refined. I agree with another member, in that, this and Zen for men are two of the best fragrances released in 2009... Sillage: very good Longevity: above average Overall: 4.25/5 This is one of those things I sampled and HAD to have, but when I got to Macys, they were out of stock :-( ,so I got Versace Signature. This was actually a blessing in disguise becuase now (6 months after it's release) it is available in 30 ml EDT in _-Mart and TJ has 3.4oz 3 pc giftsets for $24.99(!). I think some people are too hard on celeb-scents, and everyone has the right to their opinion, but this does deserve a decent sniff...and if it was by Guerlain or Miyake, it would probably have all good reviews, something to think about...

I am firm in my belief that this is THE MOST underrated "cheapie" that you can buy. This is a fantastic versatile peppery herbal green scent. It's fresh without being light. It's mature without being old. It's masculine without being aggressive. Whether you're wearing this to a job interview, on a date, or just casually... it's fantastic for that situation. For any situation. I'll be totally honest. I only bought this because I'm a fan of 50 Cent. I thought it would just sit up on my shelf barely getting any use. But this scent is great. I'm not saying it's blind by safe. You might not like the peppery herbal aspects to this. I love it. It's a shame that none of these "fragrance influencers" are talking about this. Especially the ones that complain about everything smelling the same. This is different. This is good. This is worth talking about.

Does this flacon look like a watch to you? Looks rather like a grenade to me. So, I bought this killer to my hubby for his birthday. It was completely innocent, blind buy then. And now I can't get enough of him...Oh, dear...What if I run out of you?! In panic I purchased four more bottles of that leathal weapon in one go on sale: two for him, and two for myself indeed. Phew! 2Tea Room 222, Please.... Utterly my cup of tea! Love it! The opening is sparkling, spicy, citrusey and coniferous too. I can't believe that there is no juniper in the recipe. It's getting darker, woodier.Then, a naughty patchouli and messy musk steal the show... Very erotic. Sexy. Lasts long on my skin and is sophisticated enough not to be accused of being pornographic. Unisex, definitely, my vice, and only....

I bought this because I was cheapie hunting and saw it for $6.99 at Burlington so I decided to take low risk gamble. The beginning is a peppery spice bomb, at first it seems unpleasant but it quickly settles down to this fresh, masculine scent. The scent is not unique, you definitely feel that you have smelled this before, but if it ain't broke. My only issue is the silage, you need to overspray and even when you do you people can at most smell you arms length. Overall, this is a versatile fragrance that can be worn out the shower, to the gym, as an everyday or even the office because it won't take over the entire space. Projection and longevity is not the best and scent is average, however it is solid cheapie that deserves a 6/10.

Green-Woodspice-Patchouli... I got this for free awhile back, but I'm surprised how nice it is. In the first sprays I'm getting something near to green-grass/green-apple with some fresh-spiciness from pepper, that deepens into the heart of spicy woody tones, all resting on a base of patchouli, musk & oakmoss which together bring a fluffy, earthy dusty soapiness with a faint sweetness. Overall this is a very wearable, likeable, affordable scent. Performance is average or slightly above average for year-round wear. You can't go wrong here. This is targeted to men and leans masculine, but anyone who likes a spicy green-woody-patchouli scent could wear this. It's a love for me. Enjoy!

I went to GUYANA in march, on a 1 year yandi-work since my grand-maa past away. also my aunt from USA go to the yandi. after every thing was done she call me and give this to me. i didn't use it untill i reach back to VENEZUELA where i live. so when i reach back i decided to open it. WOW what a lovely perfume. i smell cucumber mix with sea smell. really nice for a walk in the after-noon i enjoy using this one. last for 6-7 hours on me it's a pity that in venezuela i can't find it any where. well i will save this one for my special afternoon. :)

I bought it to my beloved in winter season. He give it a try and couldn't smell a bit of it! The scent was so weak! We could smell a little bit of it only somewhere around us in the room. Scent was ok for both of us. But we thought it would not suit for white man, because black man made it or etc. Now, when spring (almost summer) came, we give to it second chance. And... wow!!! We are in love with it now! We can smell citruses and tobacco in it. Its weird though, because notes are not indicating such things :) Just perfect for swagger man :)

Power is not your average celebrity scent. it's dark and masculine. Anyway, here's the four ratings that matter to me. remember this is my opinion. Scent: 8/10. i usually like aquatics or sweet fragrances but this stuff if really good. Longevity: 7/10. on my skin at least it lasts 6-10 hours Projection: 8/10. People notice me when i wear this and you will get complements. Drydown: 9/10. A great drydown. it is simply one of the best dry downs (in my opinion) that i have smelled. overall: 8.5/10. give this one a try!

I paid less than $7.00 on eBay for 1.7oz bottle including shipping. Figured it was a decent blind by since I love a few other scents by the nose that did this one. Needless to say, I am considering stocking up on this juice if I can find that deal again. It has good projection and longevity - not on par with my DSquared He Wood Rocky Mountain but this was 20% of the price too. Every man should own a bottle of this juice if you're under 40 and want a woody, musk for evening or colder weather.

This is truly surprising..sampled it at the mall cause I read that harry Fremont worked on it. I later bought a 3.4oz at marshalls for around 16 dollars (16.05 to be exact). I cant quite get my head around it. I love the scent, smells good, and is cheap...I know its a celebrity scent, but it is much more complex than the other ones ive smelled (say usher-he, p. diddy, tim mcgraw..etc etc). I know its not much of a review ive given...I guess just sample and see the confusion for yourself.

Got to admit I am really impressed with this celebrity scent. At first when I sprayed this on it reminded me of Rochas Lui and a mix of Paco Robanne XS Black for men. I can detect a slight almond note in the dry down with berries and spices. Nice and woody and not too peppery. This is a great fragrance and the projection and sillage is fantastic. I purchased a 100ml EDT for £15 which was great value for this scent as it smells very expensive.

I'm loving this new cologne by 50! I received a sample of this in his cd, and I couldn't put it down once I sniffed the scent. 50 did his thing, when he created this scent to it's fullest! I am a female don't have a boyfriend, but if I did, this would be the one of the gifts I would give to him. Hell, I might just buy a small bottle for myself, and bask in the ambiance of this fragrance all day long! LOL!

Tilemovic, the way you speak, you sound like some kind of drug dealer who makes a nice amount a money a day, destroying the lives of others, so that you can look good. This cologne is a perfect price! Only you would want to pay $250 to make an impression! Who really cares about how high the price of something is, unless your showing off? Oh, i'm sorry! That would be you!

HERES A REVIEW!!! THIS IS A $50 FRAG WHICH QUITE LITERALLY IS BEING GIVEN AWAY THESE DAYS 3.4OZ $8?? 1 OZ FOR $3.....THIS FRAG RIGHT HERE COULD BE THE KING OF UNDERRATED PARFUMS HERE..VIA PRICEPOINT ANYWAY....ITS A STRONG MINTY AQUATIC HERBALLIZED PATCHULLIAC CAULDRON OF ODOR...ITS QUITE POTENT...SO SUMMATION... MOST OF YOU FRAG HEADS.. DONT OWN THIS!! SUCH A PITY...SMH

Both my husband and I have this one. No reason to have just one, since it's so inexpensive. It doesn't smell cheap at all! Gorgeous scent: fresh, spicy & woody. Have an ethnic vibe. It's perfect for October since it's dark & kind of mysterious like a walk through a dark and mossy forest. Love!

To my nose, this is: herbal, medicinal & spicy. The first 30 minutes provides a unique scent that is sharp and fresh. After that, this becomes light & fleeting. The atomizer is somewhat weak so burst are small and require more sprays than usual. With 5 sprays, I get wafts lasting 5hrs.

This isnt bad at all. Its not like a higgher end designer smell. But more like 4 stars oft of 5. And for the price. 10-30 bucks. Nobody should be complaining

Simply a great, fresh perfume that is safe to wear on the office. Its a great buy and safe for starters.

Smells different to usual celebrity fragrances re usher. Very nice

Great masculin perfume! I loved it! 10/10

So I was browsing through the reviews looking for something cheap and good to add to my collection as an everyday banger; the kind of scent you wear to work for the benefit of the same chumps you see on a daily basis and not the good juice that you break out when you're meeting an important client. This here nasal-spray caught my eye but I wasn't going to buy a scent by 50 Cent (50 Scent?) just because it had good reviews and it was supposedly "on sale" for $15. As I'm sure we all know, celebrity scents all wind up in the bargain bin eventually anyway when a star's light begins to dim in the eyes of the public. In other words, they can tell me it retails for $60 and I'm saving $45 'til they're blue in the face but if you ask me, I know it's really a $15 scent and it's not the kind of thing I would blind-buy unless the $15 fair-market-value is reduced to $9.99 or less. The great reviews were not enough to push me over the edge either, there are a lot of other sub-$20 bangers that smell great and get a lot of attention. So even though the combo of low price and good reviews piqued my interest, I was about to take a pass...until I saw the nose behind it. I won't go into biography mode like some of the scent snobs who write reviews here as if they are personal friends with the perfumers but I will say that I know a little bit about Harry Fremont. No, we don't Summer in the Hamptons together, but at some point during my olfactory expeditions I happened to find out that he is the nose behind my high school signature scent (Polo Sport--which I still wear 20 years later), one of my old single-days favorites (CK One), and one of my newer favorites (Tom Ford Private Blend Noir de Noir ). When I found that out, it was an "a-ha" moment because even though I've worn and loved a lot of fragrances through the years, apparently this guy's sensibilities seemed to be in line with what I like. Kinda' like if you're a fan of General Tso's Chicken and you find out that he also invented pork fried rice of which you are also a fan--you'd be like, "damn, this General is the best!" So anyway, I paid attention to the coincidence, read some articles about the dude and even explored some of his other scents based on his name alone (like Kenneth Cole Black which I also loved). Anyway, the point is, I'm a fan. That being said, I didn't start a Harry Fremont Fan Club or anything so I don't get notice when he's about to release an odor upon the world. So "Power by 50 Cent" came (and went, apparently) and I never knew he was the nose behind it...until, as I mentioned before, I was trolling the reviews looking for a cheap and well-rated banger. Blind bought it from Amazon. I got 3.4 oz. for sub-$16. I'm not really into spicy scents but there are plenty of other notes for me to like so that it was worth the buy. Gave myself a schpritz on my hoodie as soon as I got the box and WHOA, the pepper jumped out STRONGLY. It was almost too strong and I was having that "topnote buyers remorse" but then it settled down. I decided that I would take a late shower to wash off this morning's Versace Pour Homme and apply the new juice to my skin for a fair review. The pepper jumped out first again but faded a lot more quickly (thankfully) from my skin than it had on the sweater. It settled into the bitter-orangey petitgrain which was nicely balanced with patchouli to keep it both "bright" as well as "earthy"--this my friends is 100% Fremont. That combo of opposites--rather than being a juxtaposition--created a Yin Yang amalgam that was a scent unto itself and it was altogether nice...comforting...and all the other things the other people said. Being the genius that he is, he and his team of nose nerds at the "old factory" (see what I did there?) often combine diametrically opposed ingredients into winning scents. Yeah, I know it's the job of any perfumer to combine disparate notes into something redolent just as a composer combines notes into something harmonious. But most composers wind up with a point-counterpoint composition instead of something mellifluous--and most perfumers wind up with something discordant to the nose. Anyway, Fremont is a champ when it comes to "settling down" citrus or "brightening up" woodsy if you catch my drift. And speaking of woodsy...there was not so much (on me, anyway). The aforementioned orange-in-the-dirt gave way to a little wood but more coriander and then, finally, moss-and-musk...and then it was gone. Fades fast as others have mentioned (unless you get real close) but for $15 you can reapply. Overall, very balmy as others have noted (I hate to use that term since things don't smell "balmy"--rather, balms smell like something. Which is to say, a face balm might smell like fragrant woody soap but you wouldn't smell a pile of wood and say, "this smells like a balm.") What was I saying? Oh yeah, this scent is balmy but it's not quite "the bomb". Hehehe, get it? And speaking of bombs, I wonder if Harry Fremont regretted the bottle design here which is CLEARLY the cylinder of a revolver (but they gave it 8 chambers instead of 6) and the cap is CLEARLY the rim and primer (the bottom) of a bullet. Moreso than Fremont, I think whatever company marketed this regretted the design choice since they probably would've given more of a push to (and had more success with) a classy-looking bottle rather than a gangsta'-looking bottle--what with all the school shootings, etc. over the last few years. Had this very-decent fragrance passed on the way-too-easy "inner city violence meets...class" theme which would have given it the opportunity to be properly marketed, it might have prevented it from failing so quickly (something tells me the input that Fitty' had in this fragrance was more in the sizzle than the steak itself--but that's a good thing, Fremont cooked up the steak and it's a perfect medium rare. BUY IT. If you're not averse to smelling clean, balmy and earthy, you can't go wrong with Harry Fremont in the bargain bin.

Anyone familiar with Harry Fremont's resume knows he is quite adept at finding ways to blend the aromatic and spicy into unique expressions of fragrance in which his niche seems to be a brilliant balance of classic 1970s variance with 21st century simplicity and minimalism. Power is another one of his very underrated efforts that is one of the most interesting in the whole category of aromatic spicy because it manages to be both fresh and dark, earthy and clean, strong yet subtle. A blast of oakmoss on top for the first 30 seconds starts Power off; as to signal from Harry Fremont a proper ode to the classic 1970s; before diving into the aromatic and spicy elements that dominate the rest of the way through in a very clean and fresh way. The petit grain on top gives this a soapy and fresh vibe when paired with the pepper and balanced by the artemisia. You would assume from the pyramid this would be a spice and herbal bomb, but the whole way through a fresh, cool quality pushes against a dark and warming pulse that cuts into the impact of the spices overwhelming the wearer. Surprisingly the patchouli is actually rather subtle here despite the fact it gets so many votes here. On my skin the pepper, petit grain, oakmoss and woods really come through the strongest, but none of them dominate. If you love fresh spice, this one is a must own at its price point of about $10 for a 1.7 oz. this a very finely crafted balance of the aromatic and spicy with a nice background of woods that follows a rather formulaic concept but pulls it off in a very unique way. This is not a scent that will blow people away, but it's one that projects masculinity, personality and originality. Longevity is solid at 4-7 hours and projection seems subtle because of its chemistry but its actually very reliable and a solid moderate well into the dry-down. If you are tired of the same old aromatic with citrus on top and woods in the base, this is a great change of pace cologne that is worth the $10 asking price. Scent: 4.0 Longevity: 3.25 Sillage: 3.25 Versatility: 3.0 Uniqueness: 4.0 Overall: 3.5 (good)

Very herbal and earthy. This is not my cup of tea however...it is nice to see a creative departure from the taboo fragrances constantly being released in their perspective categories. Initially this smells very similar to that strong "celery" smell. I work part time at an Applebees and we cut fresh celery as each order of boneless wings comes with 3-4 celery stalks. And if you put your face in a big steel container of freshly cut celery...it smells exactly like the opening of this with some alcohol and pepper/spice vibe thrown in. Overall, again...this is not bad. Actually...I think I'd even say this is a good fragrance. But it is just simply not my cup of tea. A tad bit too herbal and spicy for my taste and it does not suit "me" if you know what I mean. On the right person though, this would be just right. Longevity - About 4-5 hours. Projection - 2-3 feet. Overall Score - 6.5/10

The opening of this fragrance is oddly refreshing, almost watery. The most prominent smell is lemon leaves, I think, which Fragrantica does not list. I also smell some pepper. This is pretty good, and while not unique or even especially different, it's also not identical to any other fragrance I've smelled. It reminds me slightly of Halston Z-14, but this is lighter and more modern in a way. It turns spicier after about half an hour, but the watery impression remains. Projection is moderate. It lasts about five hours on me before fading to a skin scent, and then into nonexistence. Would I pay niche prices for this? Absolutely not, but at its current price point it's a steal. I don't listen to 50 Cent's music, but hey, maybe I'll give a song or two a go in honour of this fragrance.

Since Burlington was practically giving it away for less than a value meal at McDonalds for a 100mL bottle I figured what could I lose. Overall its not a bad little scent. The 3 main players as far as notes to my nose are the pepper, woody notes, and musk. It has your standard 3-4 hour celeb designer longevity. Totally safe for business casual office settings and will work for daytime casual wear in spring and early fall. This would also work as a cologne to keep in your car during moderate temp months if you need something to grab and go. Not going to light the world on fire in the compliments department but no one is going to think you smell bad. 6.5/10

I blind bought this recently and when I first sprayed it on my arm, I thought, "Oh no, what have I done?" It had this really synthetic pepper smell that I really really hated. After a few minutes, though, the pepper slid into the background and the petitgrain really started to come out and shine. It smells awesome. I may have been worried at first, but it is honestly even better than I anticipated. The atomizer (at least on my bottle) sucks. The bottle itself, however, looks and feels really good in my hand. Overall, very nice masculine scent. I can see why there's a fair amount of hype surrounding this cologne.

Just got a bottle as an ad-on item on amazon for $4.50 for a 50 ml What a steal!! This stuff is great! The dry down reminds me of Halston man (the sliver teardrop bottle) it must be the nutmeg note... it’s really pronounced in this juice. I would say this is a night time/ dinner/ romantic scent. Wouldn’t wear this one to work. It’s dirt cheap on amazon right now so scoop up a bottle, you won’t be disappointed. (Side note, the bottle is so cool, really well made!) Scent 8/10 Sillage 8/10 Projection 8/10 Longevity 8/10 A good well rounded night time juice.

با سلام و ادب اولین محصول از برند 50 سنت یا کورتیس جکسون رایحه گیرایی دارد و وجود نت هایی از برگ لیمو، فلفل سیاه ،چوب تیره، گشنیز و جوز و پایه ای پر از نعناعی هندی، مشک و خزه و بلوط این عطر شروع می شود. همانطور که از نامش پیداست خالق آن خواسته است تا نیرو و قدرت را در عطر نشان دهد "پاور" و البته موفق هم بوده است با وجود تلخ ای که دارد اما رایحه ای فلفلی و خنک نیز در پس زمینه آن به مشام می رسد تلخ و قوی مردانه و جذاب در زمستان سال 2009 جزو پرفروشترین عطرها در مقام اول و دومی ایستاده است نسب به قیمتش کار ارزنده و خوبی است با احترام گالری عطر مهرداد

Definitely more masculine but I could see a woman pulling this off if you're into that. It's a pleasing fresh woody citrus, good for warmer weather and casual daytime wear. I get the pepper and it's a bit sharp at first but it does settle in nicely and it's not overwhelming. It will fill a room at first spray, then it quicker settles into a subtle fragrance with not too much projection. For the price I see it out there, and it's still readily available at this point, it's a great deal.

100ml For $7.99 this smells pretty good. Will test longevity and update this review. First impressions are good. If anything, it will be a nice air freshener for my truck. I strongly agree with the review below that says you have to like the Black Pepper note. This stuff is black pepper all the way. Fresh and peppery. Odd combo. Wore this once. Lasts about 4 hours and I could barely detect it anymore. Definitely unique, to me anyways. I haven't had much fragrance experience.

I picked this up for not very much $ and I have to say I really love the scent. It has a pretty linear smell throughout but whatever the dominant note is (I see lots of votes for patchouli), I find myself sniffing my arm to get another whiff of it. For me the sillage and longevity are pretty average, maybe 3 or 4 hours. For the price you can't go wrong with this juice. I give it 8 out of 10 stars.

This is a solid celebrity fragrance. In fact, one of the better ones. You can pick up a bottle of this juice for under $15. Do it. I like but don't love Power. As my tastes continue to be refined I will spray this liberally but not replace the bottle when it's gone. It's a solid, low cost fragrance and I recommend working your way through a bottle and seeing where it gets YOU.

On my dollar-to-scent meter, this one rates very good! This mild, spicy-woody fragrance was way better than I expected for the measly $4.50 price tag. While not a black pepper bomb that I'm looking for, it is an acceptable scent for me and I'm guessing many others, and it would make a nice, inexpensive blind buy for someone just starting out collecting EDTs.

I had a friend of mine smell this on me to get his opinion and he said it smells like a peppery AXE spray! He was right though! The top note has a extremely strong pepper but afterwards the smell is more of a pleasant wood smell with a green grass twist that sits close to the skin. Good not great but casual cologne especially after that pepper opening.

Took a chance on this for $10 at Bealls Outlet years ago. It's super peppery and herbaceous. Light enough to wear in the heat but solid enough to still wear out at night. Basically, it's a cheaper version of Kenneth Cole Black Bold, if less long-lasting. If you see this around and it's cheap, pick it up. Guaranteed you'll find a use for it. 7/10

The opening is GREAT! The performance isn't very good. The opening reminds me of Gucci Guilty Black mixed with tea leaves, while the dry down reminds me of Tommy Bahama Maritime Journey. $7.99 @ Burlington - Score!

I picked this up for $7.00 and l find this to be quite a nice fragrance. The down side is the longevity...it just doesn't last long...but at $7.00 for a 100ml bottle you can go crazy with the spray's.

i get alot of citrus at the opening but then it goes away in about 3 mins. I like the scent my only complaint is that it only lasts 3 hours max and stays really close to skin.

Really good frag period it opens with a candy citrus vibe almost like hane mori but darker. To me it smells like sweetarts with a light spice in background.

got a 3.4oz blind for only 12.99 at Ross. isnt bad but i wont buy again. good for days ur not really doing anything but still want to smell good.

This will be my next fragrance review on you tube please check out my channel---Mgellie1 I review all types of men's fragrances.

Not bad at all for a cheap grab. Decent longevity, beautiful classic peppery freshness. Elegant smell but it’s not complex.

I bought this a few years back, sprayed it on and thought “that’s about right for the price” put it away and never touched it again. Recently I saw it, sprayed it on and was actually impressed. I came on here, looked at our classic smells like list, and for the ones there I do own I see no comparison that is legit to me. This is a rather unique scent in my collection, probably suited for summer nights. Cooler weather is fine, but not a performer so not great in winter. Certainly safe for the office, not offensive at all. I get the comments on the pepper note, that is there in the opening for sure. This is a slightly sweet green leaning scent, for the price easily worth picking up. Just remember to go heavy on the trigger for this one.

It's interesting how our perceptions vary. Usually I find myself in agreement with the majority opinion of reviewers here. I blind bought it, paying A$10 (US$7) for my bottle of Power by 50 Cent........and I think I paid too much. I put on seven sprays, and on me it doesn't have much by way of projection or strength. The spray I put on my hand has become a barely detectable skin scents after an hour - in stark contrast to the experience of other reviewers here. The scent itself is pleasant enough, but nothing great to my nose. I would recommend not blind buying it, but to definitely wrist test it for a few hours before considering any purchase. Regards.

It smells interesting and stupid. Like someone’s performing a séance with various medicines and essential oils inside a vegetable garden. I probably won’t wear this. Edit: one month later I’m trying this again. Idk if it’s just my mood or the stuff has macerated a little bit, but it’s not quite as bad now. The weird peppery medicinal aspect is a tad more subdued and I’m noticing more of a sour apple / citrus-like quality. Still not great, but not offensive either.

Opens with some citrus that quickly fades to an unpleasant scent to my nose I can't pinpoint the scent but I find myself wishing it would go away and a lot of pepper and some herbal scents. After about two hours it does finally dry down to a familiar Woody scent that is nearly identical to True Force by Avon which I enjoy. Projection is faint and longevity is about 4 hours. For the price it's not a bad scent if you can withstand the opening.

Good quality for the price. Standard masculine fragrance, lacking personality. Use: gym, office. To my nose, the scent reminds me of deodorant, so after a while I gave it to a friend.

Fiddy Scent! Picture this: a brisk spring morning, the sun just beginning to warm the earth, and the invigorating aroma of freshly ground spices filling the air. That's the essence of 50 Cent's Power, a fragrance that packs a punch much like its name suggests. Launched by Curtis Jackson, also known as 50¢, this scent is an instant energizer. Power is something of a hidden gem in the fragrance world, with limited reviews and discussions. If I were to draw a comparison, it's like a bolder and more potent version of Benetton Cold, which is a refreshing blue fragrance. However, Power is the jet-black counterpart in the fragrance universe. It's a polarizing scent that exudes alpha energy, and the best part is its affordability. Even a smaller bottle will last you a long time, as you only need a couple of spritzes. So, if you're planning to wear Power on a moderately chilly early evening, here's a pro tip: order a steak with spiced peppercorn sauce. After all, if you're drawn to Power, you must have a penchant for the heat. And considering it's priced under $10, it's a low-risk, high-energy choice that's bound to leave an impression.

now that i finally got rid of my bottle 'performance by jaguar' which i appreciated but was glad to have finished, i just blind bought a new bottle of performance but now named 'power by 50 cent' and that is just 2 much...performance is good for once in a lifetime but it keeps on being a cheap ok mediocre hot weather fragrance....result : i now kinda dislike both 'performance' and 'power'..no extra quality here at all... pretty generic stuff 5,5/10
