D Red by Diesel

I've just sprayed this today and my first impressions are wow. It opens with a succulent juicy blood grapefruit note, which is quite prominent and loud, it then blends into the Lavender, a smooth lavender smell not dirty. Then being accompanied by the Sandlewood, it is a warmer weather fragrance through and through, although could work in Autumn (or Fall for Americans). Design and bottle wise, it's the same as D by Diesel, but in a stark red bottle, which is fitting for the opening note to be Blood Grapefruit. I have D BY Diesel and it is the most interesting bottle to look at from a distance because of its unique shape and having another in the same line but a different colour, to me makes it feel like this isn't the last we've seen of the D by Diesel line. Are there better fragrances out there that smells similar? Yes, to me I'm getting a hint of K by Dolce & Gabbana, but this has its own 'oomph' if you will, it can stand its own against the aforementioned fragrance. Is it blindbuy worthy? For a safe and inoffensive fragrance, it would be a great blind buy - but only for people newer or just starting out in the Fragrance community / collection. This isn't anything special for avid collectors, this will be my gym scent during the warmer months though. For the people giving it bad reviews before even smelling it, give it a chance.

I didn't expect to fall in love with this fragrance. It reminds me of 90s fragrances (synthetic), but in a positive way. In this case, it's a fruity (artificial grapefruit) and slightly soapy smell, but not really sweet (thank god !). Performance is average-good. It's a versatile fragrance. I currently wear it at my job (assistant principal at a secondary school). It is currently relatively cold in Canada. But I plan to wear Red D during the upcoming summer vacation to Las Vegas (extreme heat). In short, a great discovery. EDIT : 03/24/24 I received an unsollicited compliment by a woman at grocery. EDIT : 03/26/24 I received a compliment by a coworker (10 hours after my first application).

I really like this fragrance. Imo it ́s a perfect summer fragrance. I think pretty much everybody will like the smell and you will definitely get compliments with it. The only problem I have with it, is that it ́s so expensive. If you buy it retail without any kind of discount, 25ml will cost around 50 euros wich is insane. Yes it smells fantastic and unique and I know there ́s more expensive fragrances out there but it ́s still quite a lot. Even tho it ́s expensive it will still probably be my next scent for summer 25.

Fresh sweet grapefruit with a bubble gum vibes, last a decent time on clothes, it's nothing ground breaking but it's an addicting scent. Signature scent worthy, I would love to smell like this 24/7.

got a free sample from instagram, its a nice, masculine, sweet and shower-gel fragrance and it is very strong on my skin. would recommend for a good price
