Axis Black Caviar

LOVE this cologne. My husband wears it regularly and he smells like Heaven when he does. It's fresh, masculine, spicy (but not overpowering)and the citrus notes aren't bitter the way they sometimes can be. Good lasting power and a "statement" when it comes to mens cologne's. LOVE it!!! Update: I've been wearing this a fair bit myself lately, and I have to say this *is* masculine, but it's also quite feminine on my skin as well (not on hubby's). On me, this turns lightly sweeter than it does on men. I absolutely love it and do hope we'll be able to find another bottle soon (we're running out)!

On the opening, and first half an hour it actually does somewhat reminiscent smell of what it named after - black caviar! And not in unpleasant way, I must say. Like served on fresh expensive bread with butter and some lime squeezed... LOL It kind of at the same time very like all other fragrances in this group, but at the same time kind of very distinct. Taking into consideration how inexpensive it is (without smelling cheap!) it should be considered as good buy. But again, taking into consideration how many more same or better quality frags around in this price range it maybe not worth buying for some. At the same time, it is much less common than other well known decent perfumes in this price range, and if you value not smelling exactly like everyone else without being way too far away from the pack, you could consider to buy it if you see it on sale. It is modest, unassuming scent that wouldn't impress, but also wouldn't offend anyone. Well suitable for Spring, Summer and Autumn, mostly day, but could work for evening and night as well, if it is casual, not a dressed up occasion. My verdict: Scent 7/10 Longevity 6/10 Projection 6/10 Silage 6/10 Originality 7/10 Price to quality ratio 8/10

We are talking about a fruity-spicy fragrance, despite being characterized as aromatic abroad. Axis Black Caviar is a mild scent, but very tasty and very easy to please. With notes of raspberry, lavender, bergamot, and anise in the output; Juniper, marine notes, cardamom, nutmeg and pepper in the heart and, at the bottom, cedar, leather and musk, this scent remains on the skin for a few hours, although the projection is not the best. It is also worth remembering that this one is not the same “Black Caviar” inspired by the Armani Code, which is from the Paris Elysées brand. They are completely different fragrances! This one has a very fruity start, with a heart well marked by pepper and juniper and a base that is not heavy on the leather but well finished by musk. It has a very linear fragrance! Do not expect great revelations from this one, although it is a pleasant perfume in several aspects. The bottle of Axis Black Caviar is very beautiful and they decided to play with the idea of black caviar, inserting black micro balls that are mixed with the liquid. To illustrate my opinion, the notes would be as follows: fragrance: 8; projection: 4 and lasting: 7. Worth give it a try!

A Blind buy from an auction site, very low cost, and prompted by Sami's comment. As soon as I sprayed it I knew I already had this Fragrance - Bijan DNA for Men 2004. I sprayed the Axis Black in the crook of one elbow, DNA in the other. 1 hour on and I cannot tell the difference between the two. A fresh, Laundry type of scent, opening has a very slightly citric, powerful candy sweetness. Lavender is now becoming very prominent, with a marine edge as per the notes. Due to a very recent acquistion of DNA, I'm expecting this Axis Black will develop the same way. If it does, then that won't be a bad thing, as I found the DNA to have an Oriental/Woody type of finish which I like. It has a very unique quality, maybe a little overly synthetic in nature - although I'm not crazy about it, I can't say I dislike it either. Thats just my personal taste though, as I can't say this fragrance is mediocre in any way. Maybe back with an update later Update: Although the Top & Middle notes are indentical (to me), the drydowns are very different. The DNA sems to maintain it's sweet candiness throughout, whilst the Axis becomes very musky & woody. I like this fragrance.

To me this fragrance smells like a base fragrance that is probably used in every other men’s cologne, it’s as though they’ve just used the liquid and added no smell to it, it just smells average and standard. It has a generic smell to it that isn’t bad but it’s not one that’s going to elicit a large amount of compliments either. It’s very cheap here in Australia, so that’s a plus, the bottle design is quite cool if not a little gimmicky, and the projection and longevity is better than you’d expect for the price. I think this would be good to wear if you were going to layer your scents, put this on first and then something else on top. All in all, not bad, but far from being anything that’s overly special.

I blind bought this fragrance off of fragrancenet a few years ago when I was new to fragrances. It's a decent fragrance but nothing special. The bottle is pretty cool. It has average projection and longevity. It won't impress many people nor offend many people. It's not a bad cheap fragrance but there are others that are better. It has a citrusy opening but as the top fades it turns into a musky, peppery, woody scent with lavender as the backbone. It's not particularly fresh nor heavy. The drydown is very similar to Prada Luna Rossa in my opinion. Overall not a bad fragrance if you get it cheap but it's hardly ever one I reach for anymore.

Simply the best for the money,don't believe me,try it and you will be hooked,i promise you:one of the best. یک عطر دوست داشتنی و قابل احترام گرم و جذاب ترکیب بوی مرکبات و ادویه جات خوشبو که بر بستری از گیاهان طبیعی خوشبر نظیر سدر و مشک قرار گرفته اند، یک کار مناسب به ویژه جهت ایام سرد سال را ایجاد کرده اند. قیمت بسیار مناسب آن شاید در ابتدا توی ذوق مشتریان خوش ذوق بزند که شاید با یک کار کم کیفیت طرف اند اما بنظرم با اولین اسپری کردن آن متوجه کیفیت قابل احترامش خواهند گردید. اسمی که برایش برگزیده اند یعنی خاویار سیاه بسیار بامسما و زیرکانه انتخاب شده است. 9/10 امتحانش کنید پشیمان نمی شوید

smells like a blend of tea and lemon with a little sugar...very light... doesn't last... not that amazing but not really that bad either... very casual

Greetings, I remember this fragrance. When I was a teenager I would sometimes go to the store to smell some fragrances. AXIS parfumes were "in betweeners" meaning they were not as expensive as lux designer/celebrity tier, however their price tag was above "cheap". The bottles look nice and are sturdy. Aesthetically speaking they look very nice. Have a certain character. Axis Black is a decent fragrance, it has this 90s vibe to it, which is not exactly a bad thing. Some recent reviews say it is boring, dull but I think it is not that bad. It is not great for its price, however I think its versatility makes it more than usable. Overall 7/10. It is an ok smokey aromatic pepper fragrance, albeit bit predictable and linear. There are some more interesting frags out there for the price range, but it could work well as a present. As a present for someone you don't know well (but want to buy a fragrance for).

Axis Oud isn't listed so I'll put my review here. Note that there's also an Axis Oudh-Wood but I haven't tried that one (it may be the same for all I know). Oud is somewhat similar to vintage M7 up top, with the cherry and medicinal qualities, along with that sharp oud-type thing going on. However, there is a kind of charred or burning wood element that M7 doesn't have, though it's at the cost of smelling a bit "chemical," at least to me. It's nicely blended and never gets too sweet or generic, so unless you dislike this particular aroma chemical, I'd call this an incredible bargain (for you cheapo/oud fans), though I think I personally prefer Oud Intense by Jovan among this group. I've only seen it at a UK online store for about 10 pounds, and I don't see any listed on ebay, though there are some of the Oudh-Wood bottles listed.

I had a 5 ml decant sample of this that I just used up today. To me, this is just ok to "meh". It just smells like the average aromatic fragrance for men. I pick up on the "pepper" and wood notes more so then the others.

Reminds me of CK Euphoria a little, but it ́s very very synthetic. It ́s pretty uncomfortable at the beginning. Even being a cheap fragrance, not worth buying it.

I like the smell I think it doesnt last long to me ... I'm gonna use it more often though..

When is Fragrantica gonna put Axis Caviar oudh-wood on here???
