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

It is citrusy with a hint of liquorice and star anaise which gives this a warm sexy, upmarket/ grown up feel even! It makes me want to explore other perfumes with the liquorice / star anaise (see further review on lolita lempicka lolita lempicka). The sillage for me is quite good I can say I wear perfume every day but this is the one that a male colleague commented "wow someone has lovely perfume on today"! It seems to last 5-6 hrs and your scarf just smells fab the following day! Sillage + Longevity ++ A* for hubby for listening re my xmas want list! Its not too heady you couldnt wear to the office but its sexy enought to use for an evening out also. A good all rounder. A hit in my book!

This was a blind buy, I was terrified at what this might smell like as the original was not great on me but I just couldn't help my curiosity. I'm SO glad I got this! Normally, I wouldn't like Floral Fruity fragrances very much but this smells clean and actually quite pleasant. It has a citrusy opening that's nice and not too sharp and dies down to a beautiful soft licorice smell which I ADORE. It's not overly heavy either which is nice for when I'm feeling a bit sensitive to fragrances, definitely nice for a more everyday wear. I found this at a discount fragrance store but that is the only place I have seen it so I'm guessing it might be a little bit harder to find.

Its another MUST HAVE smell for me. I ran into see it in the shop and its the last one left. I decided to buy it to get a discount. Its first impression has gone with its appearance. I felt like being detained in a jail. I didn't know why I bought it. After I wore it 2 days after, I really really fall for it. To me, top note is quite bad for me because I don't like sour smell. However, I do love base notes. From my sense, its combination between sexiness and sweetness perfectly. But unfortunately it's smell is not long lasting comparing with Britney Fantasy which can last since the morning till after I back from go clubbing and also after washing.

I am so disappointed that I cannot find anything that could replace this gorgeous perfume. It was love from the first smell. The fresh citrus mixed together with sweetness of guava and licorice was a perfect blend for winter. It lasted quite long on the skin and I got a lot of compliments for this scent. Plus, it always made me happy whenever I wore this perfume. It is such a playful, "happy" scent. If it ever gets re-released, I am stocking this scent up as long as they do not change the formula. Amazing perfume, truly one of my favourites.

At first I didn't really know weather I liked this scent or not. It reminded me a bit of mens cologne because of its spicyness and heavy licorice. I began to wear it as an everyday scent and when I got used to it I liked it more and more. I think it's definitely a unique perfume. Not particularly sweet and feminine but rather edgy and daring. I like the bottle too. I have the one without the pouch and the brownish bottle with the golden lid really stands out in my collection of sweet, pastel-toned perfumes.

I feel in love with this fragrance the first time I smelled it, and a few hours ago I actually bought it. No regrets here. This one has a unique, uplifting scent. There is no pure licorice or anise note I get, but maybe the blend of the notes together work so well. I am not a fan of anise scents at all, so I was surprised to see the notes here. I would describe the scent as fresh/fruity with a warmth and depth behind it. It suits the autumn and winter time the best, I think.

It's been my signature perfume since 2008 when I was 15 years old until now when I'm almost 30 and the last drops in the last bottle are about to end up. I love this smell. Unfortunately it's been taken off the market years ago, but until now I've always managed to find "one more bottle" online and throughout the years, despite searching, I haven't found anything that would suit me equally. Now time's up and I gotta find a new fragrance. 🥹 Wish me luck.

Delicioso, sexy, elegante, feminino, quente! Em um dia frio e chuvoso, imagino uma mulher bem arrumada, de maquiagem forte e pronta para seduzir (ainda que não saiba disso). Por onde ela passar, todos se curvarão... Primeiramente pelo cheiro maravilhoso que deixou de rastro, e em segundo para repararem melhor no quão grandiosa é mulher que o usa! A propaganda de Diesel Fuel For Life Unlimited é muito válida para a imagem que o cheiro produz!

I absolutely adore this! It was "love at first whiff".Haha.=D Currently it's very much my signature scent.I love the fact that it has licorice in it, I can detect little hints of it.Unlimited starts off pretty strong, but then after a while it dissolves into a more softer scent.I remember having problems in choosing whether to get Unlimited or the original and I think the reason I chose Unlimited was because of the licorice.=)

absolutely fallen in love at first spritz and had to buy it immediately! I m addicted indeed of this lovely juice, it has become my signature winter scent 09. it's a longlasting and gourmandy warm and so intriguing scent as never smellt before. this scent has indeed nothing to compare with. found today the summer edition online BLIND after reeding here the positiv feedbacks of it - and can t wait to get my parcel.....! <3<3<3

This is so beautiful, interesting and original. Everything stands out without dominating and I am amazed every time I wear it that lemon, licorice, star anise and white flowers (mainly jasmine and lily) can, and do, smell gorgeous together! I find it a very uplifting fragrance and I wore this a lot in the autumn of 2009 so I will always associate it with cool bright days, rain showers and the leaves falling off the trees.

Delicious, sexy, elegant, feminine, hot! A cold and rainy day, imagine a woman neat, makeup strong and ready to seduce (although she does not know it). Where it passes, all will bow ... First the wonderful smell that left trace, and second for the best repair how great is the woman who wears! The publicity given to announce this smell is fair! Well, I believe that is this a image that reflects this smell.

Absolutely fabulous and unique!!! I'm a perfume freak, have big collection from different brands but always back to Fuel for life Unlimited, had 6 bottles already used. Very unusual smell and ppl always ask what is it. I think it has something to do with licorice in it... Have to say that I don't like any other Diesel fragrances. That one is a masterpiece! + very long lasting.

Very attractive, very "what is that you're wearing" type smell- "you smell lovely type of fragrance". Being a guy who loves male/unisex (and the odd female fragrance) I don't really have the fragrance vocabulary when it comes to women's fragrances, all I know is what response they provoke in me. Desire, curiosity and bewitchment - truly a sensual and alluring masterpiece!

Ideal for young and daring women with zealous attitude towards life, full of enthusiasm and stamina. Gives you power to aim for the sky! Superlonglasting! The lemon and bergamot are in the limelight in here, in the background star anise and licorice with some delicate whiffs of white flowers. I really miss it, and will definitely repurchase in the future. *****
