Aromadisiac for Him

I loved the female version so got this for the boyfriend at the time. I loved the masculine spicey woody scent of it and it complimented the feminine spicy floraly version well in my opinion. My favourite note I picked from it was the patchouli and the sage, maybe the nutmeg.

Beautiful pallet of notes. The only problem is you allmost have to shower in this cologne to get someone to notice you. 6 sprays!!

The accords above seem to bear no resemblance to this - very little leather, little or no woodiness and nothing animalic about it. This smelt very feminine to me. Mainly fig all the way, but smelt synthetic and confectionary-like. Reminded me of the overall smell of the pick'n'mix displays when I was a kid. There is briefly a plastic/rubbery smell but it gets overwhelmed by the figgy sweetness. There is the tiniest hint of something deeper and darker but it is still too sweet and feminine for me. For a while it smells OK but I got really sick of it very quickly. Too simple,too linear and a bit sickly. My usual test for an EDT is based on 2 sprays. With this one I used 6 sprays and at 3 hours it smelt strongly and projected quite well. At 4 hours it was fading fast. At five hours it was gone. Not for me. Too sweet. Too weak. You can pick it up very cheaply (I paid £3) so if you like very sweet, fruity fragrances and don't mind using a lot and reapplying frequently you may like this. Otherwise don't bother. IMHO this would suit a woman much better than a man. I won't be buying it again and can't see myself ever getting to the end of the bottle. UPDATE - my girlfriend apparently loves this one on me - fresh, fruity and one of her favourites! - I'll probably wear it for her now and again.

This is a simple scent. Rather straightforward, not complex but yet it does not seem like "just another scent" Avon seems to put out some scents that are nice but fall short on projection, lately I've revisited Avon's Turn 4XT along with Christian Lacroix's Noir . Aromadisiac, like the aforementioned scents sits close to the skin and is gone within 6-7 hours. No leather to my nose either, it is figgy but it's a dark fruit, something made for cooler weather. That darkness is hard to describe, I sorta get a powder-like vibe in the background. That powdery aroma is the same kind I get from Avon's Mesmerize for Men and Black Suede Leather.

Reminds me of a sparse re-enactment of Bvlgari Black (but lacking that richness) with ozone, anise, and subtle, sweet-fruity notes added. It really straddles the line between day and evening-wear, making it pretty all-purpose and not too heavy. Overall, not a bad fragrance by any means- and great if you're on a tight budget- but unremarkable if you're aware of what inspired it. I would give it a "neutral" had I the option, but seeing as how I honestly don't find it unpleasant, I give it a weak "like". But I do love the sleek, modern bottle!
