Full Recharge

This whole line is surprising good (talking about the price). But if you check the perfumers then you understand why they are so good. This is my second one and I’m planning on buying them all!

Coty makes these and their own web site has some interesting statements: "Inspired by the sport and cultural heritage of adidas, the brand-new collection of six exciting Eau de Parfums (EDP) has been meticulously crafted to elevate mood and emotional well-being, whilst capturing and matching the dynamic energy of everyday life... Recognizing the hectic pace of modern life, the pressures, and the struggle to stay in the moment, ‘Vibes’ rise to the occasion, pushing the boundaries of fragrance. Users are treated to a variety of scents, designed to make you feel positive, whilst matching your mood in the moment. Whether they are looking to Power Up, Relax or Escape, there is always a Vibe occasion to match, immersing consumers in a captivating and long-lasting olfactive journey. Vibes EDPs are scientifically proven to elicit positive emotions. What’s more, upon consumers testing, at least 81% agree it makes them feel good, and 85% it boosts their mood. Full Recharge encapsulates that uplifting feeling of escapism, through its refreshing and earthy ingredients of Cedar leaf & Clary sage." _______________________ Well, a lot of PR talk... Yet, I have Full Recharge and it DOES evoke positive energy. The first impact is a radiant citrusy, herbal, fougère, and underneath there is a kind of white haze or creaminess so the radiant notes are not abrasive, simply energizing. So it's an interesting and successful blend. I'm impressed, but then I am an Adidas fragrance fanboy. Full Recharge isn't complicated and it's fun. Emilie Bevierre-Coppermann (here credited only as Emilie Coppermann) has done about 150 fragrances and here she has achieved the brief. I enjoy her "Jil Sander Sport Water for Women". She can design for lux or mass-market budget markets. I appreciate fragrances as commodities as much as design statements. I've always thought Nike, Adidas and Axe/Lynx make solid fragrance commodities. For the vast majority of the world's consumers, this is the price point. Not 10x this. Look for the 100ml bottles that come in a boxed "set" with a small bottle of shower gel, as this seems to be value priced version. USD 14 for 100ml when I bought it last week. In summary, Full Recharge isn't anything fantastic or unique but it does what Coty says it should do. I also appreciate that Adidas-branded fragrances are going back to blends with some longevity. OK this is only an aspirational "EDP", but it's acceptable and notably better than their classics which had been watered down. As a caveat, almost all their classics were revamped a year or two ago and I haven't repurchased them. Adidas now states that some these older fragrances contain "real" essential oils. I haven't seen this stated for this Vibes line. Has anyone? However, this one does smell "natural" rather than a chemical brew.

I think this is an amazing fragrence for the price. I found that on my skin it didn't last but maybe half the day, although its hard to tell sometimes. It's clean and masculine smelling and I do not believe it would be offensive. Combine that with the price and it's a great blind buy for yourself or a gift. Edit: I think its a bit overpriced considering the size of the bottle.

If your skin “drinks” fragrances, like mine does, you will appreciate this. Not a groundbreaking scent, but the sillage and longevity are both excellent. Great performance at this price point. Recommended for anyone who likes how this smells, even if it is a bit generic.

This smells a lot like a polo sport clone to me, clean and perfect for day to day wear. I wear it for errands, the gym, active days so I can save my more expensive fragrances and it’s perfect.

This is absolutely a clone of Polo Cologne Intense Ralph Lauren. I'm really surprised that no one has mentioned this. It is probably the best one among Adidas Vibes line.

Clean, woody and herbal. I like it even if it's nothing special. Goes away fast like the others from this line.

#1417 in my "Tour de Fragrance" This is the sixth and last Adidas Vibes scent I'm trialing. It's the best of the six unsurprisingly, as it's the only one of the six with a bottom note, in this case cedar. So it has some potency and longevity the others completely lack. That said, is a scent consisting of sage, basil and cedar complex enough to be interesting to anyone? For the guys, spend $3 less on Jaguar for Men and you get a better scent. Spend another dollar and get Oscar de La Renta "Pour Lui" or Rave "Now Intense" and you get a better scent. $6 more will get you Versace "Blue Jeans." This is okay, and it's cheap, but there's better than okay for the same money, so I'd pass on this one.

Starts off with a clean, pure green aquatic scent 🌿💧. After a while, there’s a very light touch of sweetness 🍬. Perfect for environments like the gym 🏋️♂️ or crowded places 🚶♂️🏢 since it’s safe and non-offensive 👍.

all of these are lowk horrible of spray then decent on drydown

Starts alcoholic and considering the boring SAGE that cant stand it, seems it has bergamot or lavender because it is not a "dry woody" scent, it is juicier and not terribly simple, kind of a bit "earthy". I like it doesnt smell sharp like a "cleaner product" but it last less than the first of this collections

I was surprised it was compared to Y by YSL. I didn't get the Incense scent. Lots of love for this because I'm drawn to green/ fresh/ marine stuff. This works well on my skin too and stays for hours. Happy customer!!

After all adidas perfume bottles,this one seems to have a good smell. Use this before training nor gym

I’m getting a lot of Acqua di Gio aquatic vibes from this one.
