Chic For Men

Still in production. Batch code 90921 Production date 2019-04-02 Gorgeous. A pinch dirty, a heaping spoonful of seductive, and just enough freshness. More soothing than loud and brash. To my nose it’s soapy watermelon and spice, semi-fresh but more fresh leaning and definitely masculine. If this lovely potion is *this* good now, I can only imagine how great it was back in the day. I can tell it’s from a different era but so well executed that it seems timeless. The scent is 10/10 while longevity and projection are above average. What struck me is that it triggered a scent memory of one of my greatest fragrance loves over the past 20+ years: vintage Moschino Uomo (striped box with the question mark.) Uomo is still a love today even though it runs at half strength with less depth. Uomo is still essentially Uomo. There’s a little bit of that old Uomo in Chic, though—not a lot by any means, mind, but just enough to make me smile. I can see Chic as someone’s signature, it’s got some depth though it may need reapplication later in the day. I can also see this performing decently in all seasons, less so in Winter. If worn a lot indoors you’re probably golden. Edit: It’s later in the evening and I’m at the 5 1/2 hr mark. I’m getting this beautifully sweet and fresh soapiness—the watermelon is still there, now joined by what’s probably amber and sandalwood and what seems like citrus providing some airy, tangy highlights.

I bought the fragrance almost in late 2017, and I still have the same bottle. The fragrance begins with citruses and a beautiful red watermelon scent, and then introduces cardamom, cinnamon and black pepper, which gives the fragrance depth and warmth after it was a refreshing, fruity fragrance in its opening. And the end is with the smell of sweet wood - not rough - and a little bit of musk. The smell of the perfume is comfortable for the nerves, pleasant, you can not get bored of it, very elegant, easy to wear, a perfume that stands in the middle between the classic sharp perfumes, and the modern sweet perfumes. Some people say that it looks like 212 or blue de Chanel, that may be a little true, but I find it more beautiful than its all. Perfume for all occasions, and for various purposes, night and day, and all seasons of the year, but it is creative at moderate temperatures, and even ages, so everyone can wear it . Its performance is quite satisfactory, with an acceptable price, the only drawback is the unpleasant shape of the bottle, as well as the bad sprayer. It is one of the most beautiful and best perfumes that I own, and the closest to my heart, and I do not think that I will stop buying it, unless a negative reformulation is made.

First off, I feel the description of this is hilarious - it goes off on how "very masculine" thus is and how it's for a refined gentleman and so on... It's none of these, it is a deliciously sweet and fluffy synthetic scent that would likely appeal to teens posing as adults. Don't get me wrong, I love this scent as it is quite reminiscent of Acqua di Gio but with the sweetness turned up to 11! It has a playful fizzy accord that melds the citrus and melon notes quite well. To me, this smells like a store that sells fragrant melon sorbet, spiced cola, and has some fragrant wood flooring. I'm not even going to try and dissect the notes - it's an amalgam of sweet, spiced woods and it works! It hangs around for a good 8 hours or so and would definitely work on a woman who enjoys woody scents and sweets. The drydown is just a vague fizzy wood that is very similar to the fizzy goodness of Moschino Uomo (a much cheaper and equally great fume) - great for teens and those young at heart! I hope you all find something transcendental - even the smallest moment can move you if you're open to it! Day 32 - Transcendental Listening to: Florence + The Machine - Queen of Peace

Man this a nice surprise. If you like the MI DNA, i'm sure this will please you. It doesn't smell exactly like it, but it's in the same ballpark. Unforgivable by Sean John too and Milestone. The difference though is this has less of that "salty" or "lemony" feel of the previous ones and is softer, more "clean" type of scent. There's no sweetness here so nothing that reminds you of the new-era of CH. Don't let the simplistic bottle fool you: This smells exactly as the name suggests - Chic. More of a 20-30s type of Chic though, not like a CEO Boss. To me, this is summer/spring banger, uplifting, refreshing (but not "fresh" as you would expect out of a blue frag). I don't smell the Watermelon here as a individual note, but i do get that Peppery, citric muskiness that is very clean and airy and the pepper gives that bite that prevents it from becoming a bland white smell. In that regard, i wouldn't call this a fruity scent. This is so cheap that i'd say blind buy worthy if you're into the Milesimes, Milestones and Unforgivables out there, although it might be redundant to own all of them if you're not a collector.

it almost seems like it is a weakened version of the Chanel Allure line. Fresh with melons but all in all the same category of scents. It can easily be mistaken as a 4hr old Blue de Chanel or Allure homme sport without the grapefruit/citrus blast that Bleu or Allure homme sport has. Nice bottle but cheap plastic cap and sprays. On shelves it looks very elegant before you find the black part are made of toy plastic. The sprayer looks like a cheap arcade button from the 80s. Don't get me wrong....It smells fantastic. It just reminded me of the fragrances I have. This may be more versatile due to its mild approach. It doesn't give you a thick scent cloud vibe and I love fragrances like this. It makes you feel refreshed and light. It is a happy positive feeling scent and should brighten up anyone's day. Is it a reformulation? Maybe. Never owned the old version. IT is like a cologne. Skin scent. Women here are giving it rave reviews, and that is why I got it immediately. Blind bought it. Will be testing it with women Updates from women: Took this and CH men to work.... Bad news for Chic....CH men wins!
