Oak for Men

This is my favorite out of the four new mens releases. It has a lot of notes listed yet it is not heavy or too strong. The others (though good)have been done to death in my opinion and this one puts a new spin on the woody concept... The topnotes are well-balanced citrus-herb scent that is very airy and fleeting. One would expect such a combo to be sharp and in your face or loud and this is none of those things. The florals are dry and sweet and the warm well mixed spices are comforting. If you have ever smelled an oak whiskey cask, that is the predominate note in this and the flawlessly blended woods such as sandal and red cedar add to this. The coffee is not detectable per se but it must add to the overall richness of this as do the soft earthy vetiver and the clean patchouli tinted musk. An excellent fall scent with not too much spice or "dirtiness"... Sillage: above average Longevity: super Overall: 3.75/5 If you only buy one of these, this is the best smelling by far. It is very skillfully blended and may in fact have some natural components. It is a beautiful down-to-earth kind of scent that I kept going back to the test stip I brought home and sniffed it again and again and today, 3 days after spraying it on the paper it is still there, and still great...

Let me start off by saying that everyone is correct that oak smells like Calvin Klein's obsession but only in the dry down. I was never a fan of obsession because it never let up. It was too much for me. I always like the dry down of obsession so when I first tried oak and realized it's dry down was the same to obsession I picked up a bottle. I am so glad I have this in my collection. The top notes are so well blended like a blanket of woods and citrus. The middle notes change just a tad but not to drastic. Then the base oh the base you get that obsession feel and it's done right. I love oak because i feel they took all the stuff I don't like about obsession and made it modern. The longevity is excellent. I sprayed some on at 7:30 am and got a compliment on it at 4:00 pm so I know the projection is good. If you are a fan of obsession try it but hurry because I think bath and body wrks on the process of discontinuing it.

My man doesn't wear cologne...just scented deodorant and deodorant body sprays. That said, he is NOT into Axe or Bod...but rather the classic scent of Old Spice which I love. I'm also a fan of the classic Drakkar Noir, but I can't get him to wear it. So, I bought this BBW Oak deodorant body spray for him while shopping for myself one day and luckily he likes it...as do I! A great woody scent that reminds me of freshly fallen leaves in the fall after an evening rain! :)

This was the first fragrance I have ever purchased. Although discontinued, I miss this fragrance. It was so woody and spicy sweet. I got so many compliments on it. I remember purchasing 3 lotions and you would get the cologne for free. Rest in Peace to the entire Oak scent line.

Well of course, I never really had it. It was my brother's. I just love giving reviews. I like this scent. It's not too over the top, yet it gives out a masculine vibe.
