Nine

I was asked to be a model for an American Crew hair stylist and was given this cologne as part of my compensation. The general feeling or vibe I get off of this cologne is a barbershop in a bottle, and rightfully so (being that American Crew is a men's hair product company). I find that American Crew's "Nine" has a unique and overlooked quality. It has a mature smell to it, but can be worn by young men. It reminds me of the old Ralph Lauren cologne's that my grandfather or father would wear, but with a touch of citrus to give it a younger feeling. This cologne is clean, fresh, masculine and subtle. It would be an excellent cologne for a guy who isn't into fragrance but wants a year around signature scent that is safe for any situation.

A good casual, safe and very people pleasing scent. Very generic and synthetic. A solid cheapie ideal as a daily workhorse scent. Despite the note breakdown here at fragrantica, I mainly get a fresh, clean and inoffensive smell of apples. American Crew Nine smells like a woodsy and citrusy apple flavored barbershop fragrance. Sillage and projection - quite limited and moderate. Longevity: Probably in the 3-6 hour range. Would I recommend it? Absolutely. For the price it's a steal. Nothing out of the ordinary though, but still very enjoyable. Final score: 7/10.

Really like this scent ! It opens up with a nice blast of citrusy because of the mandarin orange and grapefruit which stays along all its longevity softened by the herbal notes of rosemary and clary sage. 4-6 hours on my skin, fresh and better suited for spring-summer !

Nice fresh safe scent that never fails to give you a compliment or two, nothing groundbraking just a nice fresh fragrance for everyday use.

I have to say this scent is nothing special. It's very cheap, but scent is safe and fresh. Good for casual situations. Overall 6/10.
