Diesel Fuel for Life Unlimited

My first love. When I was eighteen I wore a lot of diesel. The clothing line, I mean. I was super into torn denim jeans and leather jackets and beach-y wavy blonde hair, and it was during this narcissistic phase where I first sniffed Fuel For Life (for her) Unlimited and it immediately became my signature scent for the next four years. It's fun, it's playful. Fruity and spicy and slightly floral. Great projection and longevity. It's sexy and the woody notes make it a little... dirty. ;) At the time it released it was super unique and original and (in my opinion) game changing in the (then) designer perfume world. My (then) boyfriend, who was a Vin Diesel look alike (I'm not exaggerating) wore the Fuel For Life Unlimited for men and we made quite the matching fine smelling couple! I got a ridiculous amount of compliments in those years for the frag. And in my friend group it was just known as what I smelt like when I was going out. I'm thinking of repurchasing a bottle these years later because I believe this designer fragrance remains one of the best out there, even to this day. The only trouble is... its hard to find and purchase where I live... and also part of the fun of perfumery is relating certain fragrances to memories and moments long past ... and I'm not sure I want to revisit my early adulthood, even for nostalgia's sake! Great perfume though. 10/10 then and now. Unless its been reformulated.

At first smell this really reminded me of Le Paradis, almost exactly with the top notes I smelled (possibly the citrus sweet notes are just similar?), then the notes changed where as Paradis doesn't. It still smells similar at this moment, especially on paper but fresher, more mature, with a lovely dry down. Le Paradis is less dimensional. On my skin the dry down has a woodsy feel, which is nice, not overwhelming, not green, kind of a sexy woody musk with a hint of citrus. I can smell the lemon strongly on the paper, but it's more of the lemon zest than the fruit, has that slightly bitter edge to it. There is a sweetness,that still lingers on the paper. I really like this one, and will try again on my skin! Update: Tried both side by side, on skin, and are similar, while not the same. I think this would be the older sister/cousin to Le Paradis, more mature, complex, where is Paradis is girly and sweet. The dry down is different though, again Diesel FfL more citrus with varying notes, and Paradise very sweet and gourmand. I really like Diesel FfL, and while similar to Paradis it is enough different for me to want it too, and works really well with my chemistry!

I love Diesel Fuel For Life Unlimited. Very very delicious! Delicious citrus, sour and a bit sweet, and guava, and peach - yum!! Very nice!! Then wonderful flowers, especially the tuberose, with delicious liquorice! That is how it stays for quite a while, then gradually the lovely base of cedar, musk and sweet creamy sandalwood warms everything nicely up, and it's a beautiful, full, sensual perfume. I get lots of compliments, my husband loves it, and so do my children. It's a lovely elegant, feminine creation. Beautiful. It's definitely a favourite! It stays strongly in the air around for quite a few hours, before, after say 10, it recedes to nearer my skin, but even then you can smell it if you're quite close to me. All in all I'd say it lasts for 15 hours. It's a really good perfume; I love it. It's beautiful. Oh.....and I love the bottle! I didn't at first, because generally I don't like brown - but I really love it now!!! It's very distinctive and majestic, and GLAMOUROUS!!!!

This is probably one of the most unique scent I've ever come across. My scent preference is fairly weird, I love the smell of petrol and onions. So I'd say I'm kinda picky with fragrances. I did not like any of the other Diesel perfumes at all, but I was really surprised when I got a whiff of this. I instantly feel like putting on my LBD and heels on to dance all night. The scent is fairy light, it doesn't have the heavy lingering scent like musk and powdery perfume. At first, I thought hmmm.. smells like cola, then after a month of using it, it now reminds me of Long Island Tea. Kind of summery and fun vibe. This perfume screams sexiness, confidence and elegance, the fragrance is light and citrusy, feels fresh out of the bath. Overall I'd say it's really unique and versatile, I'd prefer it for night wear though. like the bottle, you'll feel pretty glamorous. ;)

my husband bought it for me yesterday. A powerful fragrance in the opening. At first I thought ..Oh my god this is too much !!!. I could taste the perfume on my tongue and inside my nose!! I must confess I felt like coughing for a moment. It involved my whole bedroom and it was around me like a cloud..so strong, spicy and floral, but oh god... sooo beautiful. After some minutes it calms down , and becomes a sweet and warm scent, althought, I wouldn ́t say It loose its power.. no no, it remains around you , but in a relaxing way but very perceptible. The drydown is nice and adorable. A very long lasting scent. It can be worn as a casual scent as well as an elegant scent. Although the name of the brand " DIESEL" does ́t sound much "elegant" but, well , you can trust on the fragrance which is very reliable.Hugs
