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.

I have went from like to love over the last few months. My ONLY complaint is that the lasting power is NOT good enough. However I'm satisfied with the siliage because I personally believe that if it projected more people would probably not like it. Either way they need to release an intense EDP version NOW.

Good one love it, smells really nice - reminds me alot the Mont Blanc, just better (have them both), and like the Fitch smell is cool freshy and lime, i love it. it also cheap, unlike the mont blanc or the Fitch (costs twice as much)

This is a classic case of don't judge a book by its cover. This fragrance smells just like Fierce except with better silage and better longjevity. FOR HALF THE PRICE! WHat? Test it I'm tellin ya

I was impressed with this one as well, I know every 18 year old has this due to the bottle... but it did not reek of cheap 8$ target clearance perfumes like I thought it would.

I Libbyanne do solemnly swear to suck the face off the first guy I catch the sniff of smelling of this yummy cologne. This will drop the panties faster than cherry brandy.

I love it and definitly recommend it. It's a safe blind buy. Solid performance.

Since it is Halloween I picked a skull shaped cologne to do a review... I present to you my humble opinions on Skulls and Roses. I am aware of the Ed Hardy brand but this is the first cologne I have inhaled from that dude Ed, and thought wow this does not smell like death, skulls, or roses. It has a bit of sweet and citrusy touch mixed with a smooth musky scent which is a nice touch. Judging by the skull bottle I expected more darker tones like vampire blood or zombie tears, not a fresh day scent. But that is not bad because I would tend to lean more to a Legend Montblanc imitation rather than Fierce. But hey being compared to both of those brands is a positive thing right? Err maybe. It is a bit weak in the longevity department and would be my back up to Legend. And Legend is my back up to Fierce. How long is this line going to continue haha! But lets talk about the main sell for this cologne and it is of course the 3-D skull bottle. If I just leave this on my counter for my family and friends to see they would think I am into voodoo or witchery. This black skull sold me and it turned out to be a blind buy. It is not the only skull shape bottle on the market but it looks very cool and it does not feel cheaply made. Although it is not made for Halloween it is cool little potion and if you find it you must check it out. Time to go trick or treating! 7 out of 10

Sick bottle broh! You lobotomize it to see what's inside, and what do you find? Well... I mean... obviously the sprayer... but seriously, you find something that falls short of the likes of Chanel's Platinum Egoiste. Just baaaarely short of both A&F Fierce, MB Legend (only because I smelled them side-by-side)... but I'll take it over the chemical mess that is Perry Ellis Portfolio Elite... Wait!... It cost how much!? Give me three of these skull bastards and lets make a totem!!! This stuff is a bargain! As far as price-to-quality goes, if you aren't getting Chanel PE, you might as well get this. I have all of the aforementioned, and let me tell you... The chicks that dig this scent aren't gonna tell the difference between this or any of the others (maybe not even Chanel PE tbh). Also, it will look siiiick on your dresser or next to the lamp on your night stand, or on top of that stack of textbooks you rarely open. The sorority chicks are gonna dig this package the best... and you'll have to keep it there because this bulky thing sure as hell isn't going to fit in the bathroom behind the mirror with your pill stash.

A young attractive guy wanting to smell fresh but not caring too much about what he sprays on and just picks something up and put on three sprays before heading out to a rock concert. That is my initial mental image for Skulls and roses. I like these simpler smelling scents too. You can never achieve this really laid back casual attitude with a big cinnamon, a powerhouse floral or a spicy Tom Ford. Because when it smells expensive and rich, it also smells like you are 'trying' to smell good which might not be what you want to project. I can attest to an alcoholic beginning and some detergent aspects but when you smell it in the air from your arm after 10 minutes it smells very good. I really like to douse myself in this and I've got a compliment after several hours (from someone smelling it right off my chest). But I feel it's a pretty stealthy musk to the sad point I would like more out of it. It starts pretty very strong but it fades within the first hour. I would love this with a touch more spice and a bigger cloud.

I bought Skulls & Roses for Him strictly for the bottle, not really caring what the fragrance was like. I finally decided to try it after having quite a few chuckles at the expense of the dude with a rose between his teeth. What a pleasant surprise! Skulls & Roses is a smooth, almost velvety, lavender heavy scent. I have Montblanc Legend EdP and the two are quite similar, almost redundant. However, given the low price, Skulls & Roses is worth it just for the bottle. The scent is very versatile, just like Legend. As far as performance goes, Legend EdP is better there. Skulls & Roses would be good as a lighter fragrance where you want to be more conservative with the sillage and projection. No slouch with longevity, I got about 5 and a half hours out of it. Overall nice scent, crazy bottle and well worth the price. Tip: to easily remove the skull top (which forms the cap) do not lift it straight off, rotate it.

It smells exactly like an Abercrombie store... something your older brother would wear in 2006. Think about a high school boys locker room if you just focused on the AXE body spray. It smells good regardless, nothing offensive, just generic. I bought a bottle of this in the mall when I was a teenager and it is definitely something a high school boy would pick out. Honestly, I think I just liked the skull bottle haha. I actually still like it, although I have a soft spot for super nostalgic and masculine colognes like this. If you're looking for a unique signature fragrance this is NAWT the one. Every 13 year old boy has a deodorant or cologne just like this.

To jasonx: Yes! The Fierce bottle is indeed tackier. Man abs? I'll take a bad-ass skull any day of the week, or year, or century or millenium over that! Oh yeah. Skull and Roses is a nice scent. Soft and warm. I won't replace it but I like it. My wife bought Fierce for me years ago. Funny I didn't care for it...and that was before the horrible current Fierce bottle. Mine had a simple red "Fierce" script. If you actually own a man card, skulls are always cooler than man boobs and abs. Look it up!

TBH I hated this when I got it and smelled the first few spritz’. Really distasteful alcohol opening with a super soapy hand soap dry down. BUT after letting this sit for a week, I find it decent now. The notes such as the bergamot have really settled in after a few shakes and sprays. Same with the lavender which was really synthetic but now is a fine, middle of the road lavender note. I generally use this one as a quickie or as a one spray top layer when putting on multiple scents.

This one is a very deep masculine scent that to me is like the college version of Abercrombie and Fitch Fierce, which I consider like a HS teen smell. Similar, but a bit more "rough edges" vibe than "boy toy". For example, I had a bottle of it through my mid to late 20s, my 19 year old cousin came over, started smelling my colognes, and just obsessed over it so I gave it to him. It still smells pretty decent if even a bit generic.

My sister blind bought me this as an early birthday present. I also expected it to smell darker, but I still liked it at the first spray. The lavender is definitely on top with a lot of citrus. The cardamom comes through more to me when it starts to die down a bit. I wish it was just a bit spicier but it is a good average day time scent. I don't have many of those in my collection so far so I'm glad to have another.
