Benetton Verde Man

It's a rather simple fragrance. What you smell at the beginning is pretty much what you are left with for the duration of the scent life(which varies from 3 hours all the way to 8.) It's quite a refreshing scent that smells much more natural than what you would expect from such a cheap scent(I've seen it on sale for 15 dollars for the past 6 months on Perfumania) Grapefruit, Melon, and violet Leaf blend together for a very tropical scent perfect for the Summer!

This is quite a pleasant fragrance. Like most of the Benetton fragrances I have tried or read about, it is not earth shatteringly brilliant, but fulfills its purpose. I get crisp grapefruit, cedar and a general greenish note. I would almost say there is a vetiver kind of vibe to this, though it is not a listed ingredient. It is reasonably long-lasting and can be bought cheaply. It would be great for summer.

Benetton VERDE is the fourth in the colors series that I've tried, and I find it just as wearable as GIALLO, BLU, and ROSSO. To my nose, VERDE bears a remarkable similarity to CERRUTI IMAGE for her. Maybe that's because CERRUTI IMAGE for her is really a masculine cologne in disguise--well, at least in summertime, when the aromatics volatilize to create Big Cologne sillage! This composition is rich in nutmeg, violet leaf, and the Benetton cedar note which plays an important role in three of the four color edts. I like VERDE a lot and find it more unisex than masculine. This is a refreshing aromatic composition with a touch of woody spiciness.

Absolutely love it. After reading different reviews online, I found it (as well as Benetton Blu) on Amazon.com for 13.25 per bottle (3.4 oz each) plus free shipping. I would definitely consider this unisex more so than men.

I only love the opening notes, later it just vanishes from skin. Its neither bad nor good. Sometimes it smells great and sometimes its just a let down. Nothing special about this perfume.

It smelled really fresh and have strong character, more suitable for use in daylight or outdoor activities. You can imagine this smell is like ozone scent mixed with woody scent & smell like a chemical liquid that overpowering in the nose. The good thing is the change of a pungent smell to the smell of fresh fruits. This is one of perfume that has a distinctive smell but has a strange new impression.

I didn't think I'd like this one, since I tend to dislike violet leaf, cedar, melon, and guaiac wood, especially in recent fragrances. Grapefruit can get irritating if it's too strong as well. However, this one is very good, with excellent balance. It's reasonably natural smelling too. The notes come together in a mass accord but it doesn't smell like an annoying "blob," perhaps because it's not sharp in any way. It's not too sweet either, and a great office or school fragrance for the non-aficionado. Also good for a day outdoors during warm weather. Longevity is excellent and projection ("sillage") is good. It may have no "wow factor," but it definitely has a "not bad at all" factor.
