Fragrance 04

One of my favorite fragrances ever, full stop. It's almost like this smell was made specifically for me, actually. If I were turned into a perfume, this is what I'd smell like. Bold, earthy, androgynous - it's absolutely perfect. I can smell all the notes listed (except for the florals, which is fine by me) and they smell great together. Any incense+citrus combo is an instant win in my book, and although I typically detest patchouli, it compliments the fig very nicely. The sandalwood is just the icing on the cake. Not only does this fragrance smell great, but it also lasts all day too. If I spay it on my jacket, I can still smell it the next day. Great performance without being overpowering, what more could you want in a perfume? Overall, this is everything I've ever wanted in a perfume and it will be my new signature scent. However, I would NOT consider this a safe blind buy! As you can see from the reviews below mine, many people didn't love this one. I suspect a lot of people don't like the strong black pepper note, which can make this perfume very spicy. Try before you buy! But I really do hope you try it, I can't wait to find someone who love's this funky little fragrance as much as I do!!

I love this perfume, but I would never recommend it to anyone. It opens with very aggressive citrus and pepper. I don't get the florals with this (edit: now i do, softly), but the drydown does reveal a bit of the cedar and sandalwood, although very quietly. It's just one of those scents that puts me in a good mood, and reaching for it is so easy, I don't even have to think about it. When I got my sample tin I wasn't sure if I preferred 04 or 05, but when I settled into bed for the night I could smell the soft woods of the drydown of 04 and I was completely sold on it then. Malin + Goetz Cannabis is a near dead ringer in the opening. I doubt you need to be told based on the other reviews, but this is not a safe blind buy.

Yes, it's true— quite a strong citrus and pepper bomb off the top but its become addicting now that the shock factor is gone. Also picking up subtle deeper sweetness off the initial spray and I've come to love it. Projects strongly on me for a couple hours but doesn't last crazy long which I don't mind given the naturals in here. Nontoxic fragrances are evolving. I hope they continue to gain popularity and further develop... but for now this stuff is great! Leans masculine for sure btw but hey to each their own.

Very citrus on the opening... almost enough to spook me. But this is my favorite of all the DedCools I've tried and a top fragrance for me overall. The way it transforms into this patchouli and wood reminds me of the mystery of the forest. Depending on your perspective, it may be a little more masculine but it just works. I will not be buying another FB because I have had issues with 2 DedCool bottles and I just don't trust them anymore... Hoping to be impressed by Malin+Goetz Cannabis next.

This is Dedcool Fragrance 02's big brother. Where 02 is one of my favorite unisex (feminine-leaning, IMO) fragrances from the perfume house, 04 is decidedly more masculine with its strong hit of pepper and citrus. Their similar DNA is in the hints of sweetness. I'm not sure where the sweetness comes from, but I love it in both. I thought it was the juniper berry in 02, but apparently that's not a note in 04. Or maybe it's just not mentioned in the pyramid. Regardless, I enjoy this one, but not on myself. I gave my sample to my husband. We'll see if he likes it enough for a full-size. They would complement each other nicely.
