Mr Momentum

Ok, as someone who in general doesn't like Majority of the Blue scents in the fragrance market nowadays, not only is this unique and well blended it's absolute PEAK, this is everything I wanted in a Blue fragrance, and it's also a good passionfruit fragrance that I've been wanting to have for a while. This opens up with a fresh does of citrus and a bunch of green spiciness, the Ginger itself is the most prominent to my nose, after 10 minutes the main trio of Lavendar-Passionfruit-Basil comes in and my god, WOW it's good, the Lavendar is as you'd expect, quite smooth and sweet but it's not the predominant note as I get with 80-90% of other Blue designers with lavendar as a main note, instead it's about even, if not slightly behind a nice passionfruit note, that's quite tame in its sweetness but it's still quite sweet regardless, it's more of a refreshing and clean passionfruit more than a purely sweet one if that makes sense. The basil helps to give this fragrance a slight airiness and spiciness, and i also detect a minty note behind the basil that round this fragrance out with its signature clean and freshness to make it a "Blue" scent. This stuff is quite strong too as not only did last 10-11 hours on my skin, but it looks projected medium-strong for the first 4 or 5 hours, not only that, but after the 4 or 5 hours elapsed, after taking a shower I still smellt it as if I just applied it, amazing stuff. I think Omar hit the nail on the head with this release, it's both mass appealing and niche in its quality/scent profile at the same time, being both easy to understand yet also having nice complexity to it, I'm most likely going to be getting a full bottle and using this as a signature for everyday wearings, on the topic of that, this fragrance can easily be worn all year round, but it leans slightly towards summer and slightly away from winter, but it's not a deal breaker, maybe it is for someone living in a colder climate country, but in Australia, it's usually a more moderate climate for me so it's perfect. Overall, Yap session aside, this is easily one of my favourite fragrances of all time as of writing this, and I'm comfortably say it's my favourite Blue/Freshie fragrance, definitely worth a try for anyone looking for a creative and unique Blue scent that still etaind complexity as well as mass appeal. 10/10

This one starts out with a burst of bright realistic grapefruit & citrusy notes, juicy, slightly rindy and with a touch of ginger dancing in the background. Behind the grapefruit & citrus is a hint of fresh basil and mint that freshens and brightens the opening scents without ever taking it to a mojito or truly tropical type profile. Although marketed as a "blue" fragrance, this one remains to me a perfect example of what a fresh spicy citrus aromatic should be. The passionfruit comes in rather quickly after the opening and is present throughout the life of the fragrance without ever being overbearing. The way the passionfruit and basil play off of each other is something I have not experienced in any other fragrance I own (which is around 140 bottles...) and like nothing I have ever smelled in any other fragrance I've tried. In the dry down the scent remains mostly liner with passionfruit, ginger & basil being the most prominent notes with a slight lavender and patchouli that eases it's way in and sits just underneath the main notes making the whole composition very bright and refreshing while the vetiver sits way in the back to give a woody texture without ever being too obtrusive. At first wear I knew this one was one of those special fragrances you don't find very often and it was going to have a place in my collection for many years to come and was the first full bottle of Atrium Fragrances that I purchased and still wear at least once almost every week. Great for office wear or going out with friends, can be dressed up or worn with jeans & a t-shirt and work perfectly in both occasions, great year-round fragrance. Overall a complete 10/10 fragrance worthy of full bottle purchase. 8+ hours longevity with a medium-loud projection.

The initial opening of the fragrance is green and quite heavy, featuring notes of basil and ginger, with a hint of lavender that reminds me of a refreshing iced ginger tea you might enjoy at a nice patio restaurant during the summer. This initial scent lingered on my skin for about 10 minutes. After the opening, the fragrance evolves to include mint and fruity notes, predominantly citrus and passion fruit—one of my favorite summer drinks. The middle notes are beautiful and evoke memories of fresh "agua fresca" that I used to buy from fruit sellers in Mexico as a child. These middle notes projected nicely from my skin for up to five hours. After the five-hour mark, the green notes begin to fade, giving way to a delightful blend of passion fruit and mint, accompanied by darker, woody notes that I assume come from the patchouli. This dry-down phase is less projecting but still substantial, lasting on my skin well into the eighth hour of wear. Mr. Momemtem offers a unique twist on the blue scent trend. It is characterized by dominant notes of fruit and mint, making it appealing to most men over the age of 25. Unlike many modern fragrances, it is not overly sweet. While it is a good fragrance overall, it is not a safe blind buy like most blue fragrances tend to be. The inclusion of green notes and mint may limit its mass appeal, but it is still enjoyable. This scent provides a fresh and fruity take on the blue genre without being excessively sweet. I find it suitable for all seasons, as it balances freshness with richness.

I received my bottle a couple of days ago. I agree with the review below...this is not your typical blue fragrance and I would personally label it as a fresh fragrance. I'm not overly into blue fragrances and have used the sample, so as not to waste any from the bottle... I have opened the full bottle, but only to have a smell and the citrus top notes seem very prominent from just having a sniff of the atomiser - from the sample, I get more of the basil top note. However, what you get is a fresh and uplifting scent profile of high quality. This reminds me of Lalique l'insoumis and l'insoumis ma force, but brighter and fresher with higher quality ingredients. Also a slight hint of Boucheron Jaipur homme, as it smells slightly of cinnamon to me - they both contain cinnamal. This is well blended and the notes all appear to you on the dry down journey. I like my Cartier fragrances and to me the style of this is in the same vain - gentlemanly, refined and classy....if you can get a bottle, I don't think you will be disappointed unless you were expecting a generic blue fragrance.

It’s a very good blue fresh fragrance. Like the post below said, it’s blue but no shower gel blue. Think of Sedley, Torino 21, Xerjoff Renaissance, etc, due to the lemon. I would say to spray the bottle rather than the sample included since the sample smells kinda funky but not the bottle. I get a little passionfruit in the mid and the lemon turns more into a lime. It has the Virgin Island Water mojito vibes.
