Red Line 2654

Was honestly super hyped to get this fragrance after seeing many reviews tout 2654 as one of the best sunscreen-y summer scents which I was in the market for as I'm currently ripping through my LV City Of Stars and wanted more options. Dropped a pretty little penny for international shipping and I just received it yesterday so this review may get updated as time goes on. Scent: To put it simply as a fresh citrus, sunscreen and vanilla scent lover, this is absolutely beautiful. The opening was a really lime fresh yet creamy sweet which the sweetness reminded me of another frag that I couldn't quite put my finger on till today, it reminded me of the opening of BR540 but with added freshness which is an easy win to my nose. Dries down into this sweet, sugary vanilla with a little bit of booziness that kind of resembled Bailey's Irish Cream to me but not as potent. Performance (Updated 04/11/25): Yeah this motherfucker PROJECTS. This is my updated performance review as previously I suspected that I might’ve gone nose blind to the notes as I could only catch whiffs of 2654 in the air randomly throughout the day and now I’ve confirmed that yeah it’s just my nose. Everyone around me smells this scent filling up the room with that beautiful creamy scent trail as well. Versatility: It's a sweet creamy freshie so yeah, to this is what a true versatile scent is supposed to smell like during day or night use for any occasion. That's why anyone would choose this over Miami (which I sampled) as Miami's just a little TOO creamy and is a little too cloying in high heat days, similar to Paradise Garden. Scent: 9.5/10 Performance: 8.5/10 (Updated) Versatility: 10/10 Personal Score: 9/10 I genuinely love the scent profile so much for the warm climate that I live in to the point that I am willing to rate this over Herbes Troublantes. Like heaven to my nostrils.

Ignore everything I have said in the past, this is fucking amazing. At first I was a hater too, but after wearing it a few times (had a decant) I was addicted. Now I finally picked up a basically brand new 100ml for $120 second hand, and I just love it even more. This and manhattan midnight are the only two city rhythms I recommend picking up, everything else is not worth the price. Anyways, this fragrance is amazing. Like I said in the past, this really reminds me of a a fizzy tropical chaser. I really like this one, its unique, you will never find anyone else smelling like this in the average world. One thing niles is great at doing is making fragrances last forever. This lasts easily 10-12 hours. 2654 can be worn year around, but shines in the summer. I really recommend trying this one (especially if you tried it before and disliked it) give it a few wears and you will find the true beauty behind it. 8.7/10

Fragrance Journal Entry #181 So from what i understand this is a hybrid of their 2 best sellers, Miami & San Diego...and the distance between those 2 cities is 2654 miles hence the name. I have to give the brand props for listening to their customers and taking a risk to provide this excellent scent. Everything in this fragrance blends together seemlessly to create this creamy tropical masterpiece, lime and coconut are always a winning formulation and with the other added notes they made something unique with mass appeal. Where this one falls short for me is in the performance category, i get decent longevity but the projection is quite intimate, either that or it's easy to go nose blind to. I'm half way through my sample and i'm still on the fence of whether or not to buy a full bottle, quite pricey. Rating: 8.7/10 Blind Buy Safe? YES

favorite fragrance i have ever smelled. the beautiful blend of the vanilla and rum with the citrusy summer focused top notes is absolutely astonishing. typically with these note blends they smell medicinal, or extremely off putting, but when done right, they can be perfect, but also very reliable. can be worn in any season due to sweetness, fruit, citrus, and hot weather focused top and middle notes. best season - summer worst - spring performance isn't anything crazy, lasts 7+ hours on my skin with no problem. unless you have a reason to care about this, it's pretty fair. projection is also good. 4 sprays will last the entire day and people can smell you without it being overly strong from 6 feet away. overall this is just an amazing fragrance all around. can't believe some people actually hate this, 10/10.

Unique, great performance and smells fantastic. From the first smell I knew this was going to be a signature for me. The scent: think a fuzzy sweet slightly tropical vanilla. It’s not a cloying gourmand vanilla but more a smooth fresh vanilla. Sweet, citrusy and vanilla. The fizzy or fuzz vibe is hard to explain but you understand once you smell it. Over all this is super unique. Not having depth is not an issue here. It doesn’t evolve on your skin but it doesn’t need to. From the first spray it’s a show stopper and once it dries down it just becomes even more smooth. This can be worn all year around to. It’s bright and citrusy enough for summer but also vanilla and sweet enough for winter. This my friend is a 10/10
