Contra Men Only Intense

If you see this fragrance at a rack store, just BUY IT! As my fellow reviewer has noted, this is almost identical to Givenchy Gentleman EDP. On top of that, it performs very well in both projection and longevity and only costs about $17 at your local T. J. Maxx or Marshals. Plus, I have often found it at rack stores on clearance for even less. To top it all off, it has a pressurized atomizer! If you don't know about Givenchy Gentleman EDP, you can think of it as a spicier, more mass appealing take on Dior Homme Intense. DHI is all about that lip-stick iris. Givenchy Gentleman EDP (and, therefore Contra Men Only Intense as well) has just enough of that same iris to make it smell "dressed up," but not enough to make it smell like a make-up bag. Additionally, Givenchy Gentleman EDP (and, therefore Contra Men Only Intense as well) has a good deal of spice and just the right amount of sweetness to make it inviting. To me, it is the perfect "special event" fragrance for the winter time, but it works casually too. At any rate, I love Givenchy Gentleman EDP, but I will never buy it. I don't have to. Contra Men Only Intense is a spot-on clone that costs a fraction of the price. It is TRULY an unsung hero of the rack store world, and it is probably my favorite fragrance that I own.

Fragantica people are NUTS. There is no Orris Root or Lavendar or Tolu in this juice. This smells like Givenchy Gentlemen EDP for like $12. It is basically a total IRIS bomb with a creamy, complex (almost gourmand) VANILLA at the end. There may be spice and citrus in the beginning. But, it's basically just Iris with a sophisticated, realistic-smelling, creamy vanilla and benzoin at the end that avoids that baby powder scent of other men's fragrances. Think, your lady friend's makeup bag mixed with the best smelling, masculine vanilla you've ever smelled for less than $20.

Clima frío, fresco, es muy buena opción. En calor puede resultar muy empalagoso e intenso. Lo he usado por más de un año y varias veces me preguntaban que perfume era ese, que si es un perfume muy masculino. Me gusta, yo en lo particular no lo usaría para diario aunque esté en temporada fría, pero si lo usaría para salidas, momentos de compartir con ella.

Found it at TJ Maxx for $16. Like the other comments have said it smells and performs almost identical to Givenchy Gentleman for a fraction of the cost. A little spicy to start that transitions to a velvety iris and vanilla that stays with you for a long time. That might sound a bit feminine, but its not at all and very much works in masculine way. All day performance off the clearance rack is hard to find and this is one the better blind rack buys I've made. 7.3/10

This fragance smells like straight BS, not a safe blind smells like Gasoline avoid at all cost!

This fragrance is almost identical to Givenchy Gentleman Edp on the drydown. It's a rackstore gem for sure so if you see it at T.J. Maxx or Marshall's do yourself a favor and pick it up.
