Ed Hardy Skulls & Roses for Him

An excellent scent for the money. It does smell almost identical to Montblanc Legend, as I have both. I can say that I like Skulls and Roses better. My wife actually likes it better than Legend as well. I haven't tried Fierce. Initially what caught my attention was the skull bottle, and I thought oh this is going to be another cheesy fragrance, I gave it a spray test in Target and went home. I immediately could tell that I liked it, the main thing that I liked is that it was different, and smelled good. I went back and bought the bottle a few days later. Skulls and Roses is less complex and refined than Legend, it is more raw and primal. Legend is a tiny bit more spicy in the top notes. Skulls smells great on clean skin. It does not project well or last long, which is something I actually like, as it's more something to put on when you want to boost the confidence a little or do something that takes risks, without getting everyone's attention. I don't get random compliments from this scent, but I DO get complimented every time I get a hug or a kiss from a woman, so what does that say? Only people that get close enough can actually smell it. I do think it would be nice to have more longevity and projection with it but I also think it's nice that it is a bit stealth so it can be worn for different situations. Montblanc Legend is a more professional smelling scent that smells a bit more formal. Fierce... I have yet to try, I am having trouble getting over the manly six pack bottle. Skulls and Roses is more of a casual every day scent that doesn't overpower.

Has a nice smell, but this is really for romantic wear in my eyes because it is VERY soft. Next to no projection except when first sprayed but that is gone within 30-60 minutes. Now the longevity is moderate but anything anybody smells after 2 hours will be a faint wiff but if they like it, they might want to get a little closer;) I'm 18, but really, I love heavy scents but this scent is the one that everybody would hate if it was overpowering. So really, if I continue to like it, I will definitely buy another bottle. I realize some people have said that this is a enormous or heavy fragrance, well don't pay no attention to them because they have never owned anything that costs more than 20 dollars to begin with:)

I though this would be darker and muskier than Mont Blanc and Fierce but I find it more aquatic and easier to wear. I don't own Legend, but I do own and love Legend Intense. I wear it for my lady. I wear this one for myself, it's my leave in the bathroom weekend fun cologne. One spray to the back and it's with me all day but isn't offending anybody. When I spray it, it has an Axe cloud of nasty aerosol smell but that leaves when you walk away lol. I didn't expect much, buying it for about 20 Cad$, but it's way better than I thought it would be. This is great to have around for casual and fun days.

I'll admit the bottle design is what drew me into this. I'm not much of an Ed Hardy person, but I really do love this dark witchy skull design. I'm surprised by how much I actually like the scent itself. It's incredibly well-balanced. The lavender and spices are so wonderfully elegant and the oakmoss never overpowers them. The drydown is a little bit soapy. It's a dark scent, but a clean and fresh dark scent. There's something oddly touching about it, it's very sensitively done. Love.

My hubby has this and I love how it smells on him! He bought me the matching perfume as well, because he said it smells great too. I recommend this for men, and go get your wife, girlfriend, or significant other the matching perfume. I happen to like the bottle. It's not about how the bottle looks, it's how it smells that matters to me.
