Fuel For Life Spirit

Its been a long time (and a lot of new fragances added to my collection and experience) since my last review but i cant let go the oportunity to share my take on this beautiful fragance long time ago i wrote about JPG Gaultier2 and how georgeous it was on me but heaven in my girlfriend skin so i gave it away to her well i love that one but its just too unisex for me(i mean its on the middle if not on femenine side) but this one (in a lack of better words) is very similar to that one but without a doubt in the masculine side of the coin very sweet from the openin to dry down but very masculine at the same time, and womens let you know how much they like how you smell when you wear it must try!

I can see why this is such a love/hate scent. If you love the original and XS Black or any of the flankers from Paco Rabanne then most likely you will love this. If you don't and prefer more traditional ambers such as Ambre 114 and Ambre Precieux then you might not like this. Personally, I love em all. Is this synthetic? Yes! Is it refined? No. Is it a long lasting great cold weather scent without being bias? Hell Yes! Forget about every amber scent that you have tried and just focus on the scent and compliments. This was a love at 1st sniff for me!

Absolutely good!!! I really don't understand the complaints! Bet that all these negative comments came from perfumes snobs... Just because it comes from Diesel it can smell good, and it does!!! I took home some paper strips with fragrances and kept on smelling 1, it smelt much better than any of them, and it was this! Smells even better than YSL L'homme Parfum Intense, and it's more intense than that one! Give it a try, it's really nice and intense.

Nothing like 1 million - so forget those comparisons immediately. Amber, sweet, powdery, lightly spicy, Root Beer or Coca Cola with a Play-doh smell. Versatile fragrance. Could be worn winter or fall.... Perhaps light sprays for the summer. Spirit never smells musky or cologney. But it has a spice that might not work in the hottest of climates. I always feel good wearing it - lifts my spirits no pun intended. Girls like it.

due to cinnamon in both 1 mill and this .everybody think they are the same fragrances.because of cinnamon that produce bubblegumy vibe cliumsy and unexperienced noses mistake it for other similar fragrances .1 million has cinamon leather and fruits but Fuel For Life Spirit has cinamon plus the original FUEL FOR LIFE.two seperate works.SPIRIT is one of the best bubblegumy scent.

I really don't understand those how say Diesel Fuel for Life Spirit smells nothing like YSL L'homme Parfum Intense. I got both perfumes and they are virtually the same fragrance. Really! I can't really detect difference between the two. (Both perfumes are produced by L'Oréal and released right after each other. Would this be a coincidence by change? I don't think so.)

Un très très bon parfum, je n'avais jamais cru que diesel ferai un si bon parfum comme ce dernier, sincèrement ça dépasse leur marque a mon avis, je trouve qu'il ferai mieux sous le nom de Chanel ou Dior .... un parfum chaleureux et pas cher du tout a la fois

This frag really make me toward the warm scents.its scent has own way and not resemble nay other frags if it does it is alittle closeness in first notes its base is ffl way.Love it Scent 9.5/10 Duration 9/10 Sill 9/10 Overall 9.5/10

Very good scent! Best Diesel has ever made! Smells like the original fuel for life mixed with spicebomb & ysl lhomme intense but better than all 3 of those! Perfect scent for fall winter.

Ambery, warm spicy fragrance that after 10+ years still smells great and performs. Scent - 8/10 Longevity 8/10 Projection 8/10 Sillage 8/10 Overall 8/10

I had it before but not easy to find it any more. A great perfume and shame that disiel produce many kinds only for the brave and not this one.

smells like creme soda with cinnemon , it also has the lasting power and projection of musc ravagur .. sounds good? it is ;- )

It's so unique .ilove it.its sweet and delicious.can wear in office and club.sillage and longtivity is huge.i love it. 9/10

An underrated gem for sure. So annoying that they constantly discontinue fragrances that are bloody great!

Very smooth and warm.long lasting and hi projecting. Scent 9/10 LONG 9/10 Sillage 9/10

this one,IMHO..is the best since Spicebomb! Good one Diesel..love it!!

I hate fragrances by Diesel but this is one that I love. 8.5/10

One of the best candy vibe scent.I love it so much.

Great fragrance. Give it a try.

Bubblegum bomb in the best way

It was about time to Diesel increase the "Fuel for Life" family with a more full-bodied, dense, and nocturnal fragrance. Fuel for Life Spirit for Men brings a sexiest and outrageous appeal, without ceasing to be intensely masculine. The bottle didn't bring big innovations, but the content – which is the most important – works beautifully. According to the manufacturer, this fragrance is composed of notes of bergamot, grapefruit, and cinnamon in the output. In the heart, orange blossom, Iris and geranium, and, finally, labdanum, myrrh, amber, and Woody notes in the base. If you are one of those who discard very strong and sweet type of scents, so it's better not to meet this one. Its output is quite intense (no wonder that brings in its bottle the inscription "use with extreme caution"), with a slight presence of the duo formed by citrus + cinnamon and a huge presence of the orange blossom, which ends up giving a tone very similar to the scent of Altamir (Ted Lapidus), which also has many similarities with Gaultier2 (Gaultier). After about 20 minutes, the chemistry starts to happen and the fragrance becomes less pungent and starts becoming more floral, with an alive tone of IRIS and a light touch of geranium, inside an elixir that is commanded, all the time, by the orange blossom. Then, at the end of its evolution, an ambery balm arises – representing the golden color of the fragrance – properly embraced by resinous notes and incensed by myrrh and labdanum. After two hours on the skin, the scent is already new, with a more oriental and seductive aspect and, it is worth noting, less scary than when applied. In this final stage of evolution, it can introduce a sense of "déjà vu", but this doesn't take the brilliance and the power of this creation. The projection also calms down but remains good and the lasting is wonderful.

I was finally able to get my nose on this beauty after hunting it down. It was love at first sniff. A sweet amber scent that reeled me in immediately. Such a fun-to-wear, casual scent that performs beautifully in cooler weather. I do get a strong similarity with YSL L'Homme Intense, but this is much stronger with beast mode projection. I enjoy it so much, I got a back-up bottle. It's been on sale on the Diesel website for $40 recently. At that price, it's a steal. A perfect scent for clubbing, too. I've never met a woman that doesn't like this. Scent: 8/10 Longevity: 10/10 Projection: 10/10 Price/Performance Ratio: 10/10

It is a very pleasant smell that is strangely unique. I don't absolutely love it, mainly as it reminds me a lot of playdoh, which is also what the woman's fragrance Classique by JPG smells like. I think this is the boozy note combined with the amber. As a man, I don't want to smell like playdoh, but it is a scent that will get you noticed as it is intriguing. The fragrance is overall solid. Will pick it up if it's cheap somewhere, since on the mens side, I have not found any fragrance that smells like this. Only see this as a casual fragrance.

This smells great. It smells like the Diesel fuel for life, but with a more intense smell. This is what i call an intense version of the original, because both the sillage and the longevity is A LOT better in this one. 7+ hours in this one and only 3 hours in the original. I get a mix between iris and amber in this smell, it smells really fresh with the note of bergamot. I get compliments every time i wear this. Both from boys and girls. But it is definitely a man scent. Scent: 8/10 Sillage: 8/10 Longevity: 8,5/10

I tested today on a paper, I really like it, also not a masculine monster (unisex), similar to the original and the denim but completes with amber or liquor/rum, more spicy, heavier, not too much almond/nutmeg and not too sweet, I enjoy also the bottle, easy and comfort in my hand:) update: I tried on my skin, so cool. Fresher, spicier, stronger than denim or original fuel and sillage/lasting is finally really decent:) update: for my nose similar to YSL homme intense

Do not believe it! Another clone of one million? I am impressed, after reading so many reviews, realize that no one commented on this similarity. Enough of one million, two million, one thousand million ......... Where was the creativity of the nose behind these scents? Stop that cloning Paco rabanne!Expensive perfume and no novelty. Not bad, but I would not recommend.

By the Italian fashion house DIESEL... FUEL FOR LIFE SPIRIT 🪵🌶🍬 This fragrance screens JOYFUL and YOUTHFUL. Its notes are highly defined: AMBERY, and WOODY. It also has one of the SPICIEST accord I’ve smelled, I get a dry cinnamon sticks vibe. Perfect for cold weather, casual wear and “Saturday nights parties”. Rate:🥈

Spray away from face My Review: Longevity Projection - TOO MUCH Could Smell - 6.5/10 compliments - 7.5/10 I can wear it but often with a headache. Not worth buying in my opinion its too strong. Better fragrance out there. If you want to build a collection well.... Still better fragrances out there :D

I wrote a review about Diesel FFLS already, but I just bought it recently. I'm confused, because when I tested before several times, I found it very potent, but now I don't feel enough strong on my skin, it becomes very soon a skin scent, I don't know why. My batch is from 2013 March...

If you like the smell of YSL L'Homme Parfum Intense,(mostly sweet, spicy amber)but not the price or it's lack of projection after the first hour and mediocre longevity?! Then give this scent a try!!! Very close in scent and terrific projection/longevity:)

Paco Rabanne? Man, this is not even close. It is different. Luxurious smell. Yes, it smells familiar to others alike, but what is so bad about this? Tonns of perfumes are kinda the same. Nice smell, heavy, warm and deep. Has kinda retro vibe. I like it.

Not really feeling this one.. Kinda makes me nauseous.. It's nowhere as good as YSL L'homme Parfum Intense. Didn't give this one away yet, gonna hold on to it till next winter/fall hopefully my taste will change. But for now 2 thumbs down...

Lovely fragrance, similar to Altamir, a warm scent & it most definitely would last. I think this is going to be a big hit with my male customers - and their partners!

incredible scent for club.for me isn't similar to ysl l'homme parfum intense.7/10for low performance.10/10for the the taste.

I don't really like it. There's nothing wrong with a scent being sweet but in this particular scent the sweetness is irritating, cloying.. I find it hard to define why I dislike this scent but the overall image I get is "something that does not smell extravagant and classy".. I could imagine the main audience for this perfume is the men who have no clue what to look for, or no courage to go for something special. It's probably something their girlfriend wants them to wear or something they wear because all their friends have it aswell. I don't know, I rely on my instincts and my instincts tell me that I don't like it in particular.

Just tried this today. A total mess. Cloying, cheap and unrefined sweetness. Poor composition. Of course they had to add some badly executed iris to follow the trend. This fragrance is just "too much of everything" to be good. Outrageous for sure. Superficial, lacks of personality. Anyways I didn't expect much from the Diesel house. So far all their scents for men have been disastrous. Keep them coming Diesel, the more frags I smell from you the more I enjoy my good old Chanel, Hermès and Cartier classics ! That said it's a funny fragrance. I had a good laugh smelling it, but Diesel should definitely stick to clothes. Cheers !

Some of the diesel fragrances are okay...non have compelled me to buy as yet though. Tried this today....boozy and awful! A guy tried it after me and his girlfriend said ..."mmmm...that's gorgeous." There's no accounting for taste I suppose.... each to their own and all that but come on? I thought maybe she's an alcoholic? or has a seriously diminished sense of smell? I very nearly opened up the debate on everything that was abhorrent about this stench there and then in the store...but realised that I would come off as a psycho! Needless to say...I won't be getting this.

I'm wearing this one today (26/12/2014) Wait... so it's classified as masculine? I'd say unisex. Better yet, feminine. Yuck. Not my thing. Too sweet. Like i threw a bottle of marble syrup over me. I've been wondering whether bees would start chasing me on my way to work. it smells like burnt sugar/honey. I got it as a sample. but... No ma'am, thank you, l'd pass. Diesel Fuel for Life SPIRIT? smells more like Diesel Fuel for Death SPIT. On the positive : Very long lasting and very good projection... But beware of the bees!

Right from the start I kept feeling as if this was some 1 million flanker as it is very much like it but it's lighter more airy and fresher. There is nothing special or groundbreaking here and if you think this is then you have not tried any of the 1 million flankers or the original 1 million. The "bubblegum note" is actually cinnamon, Amber and citrus. Not a good value for money as paco rabanne does this kind of fragrances much better.

Now I have got to ask the voters, where they bought their fucking time machines, because it says on the description "the fragrance comes out in April 2013". Since you have been in April 2013, tell what happened to the world until there.

Starts off not bad, but i cant have that drydown. it is sickening me. Sort of too sweet weird smell, which is absolutely not nice. I wanted to wash of. It has a very good sillage and longevity.

smells nothing like YSL l'homme intense, no where near the quality !more like an added pepsi to tom fords for men,with an added spoonful of talc .and no not a good thing .

A heavy, smokey ambery-vanillic fragrance. The smell is getting worser after 30 minutes and does not smell good anymore. Pitty, as the bottle looks so delicious.

I tried it and Im not satisfied with that. It is absolutely not my style.. On the other hand it's very strong so if you like maybe you should buy it

I'm sorry but I really don't like it. It's not just boozy, it's more like having puked after having too many shots, mixed with some bug spray.

tested it , it does smell like a RUM , didn't like it honestly. not my style.

Sweeter than the original, a bit cloying, not worth it.

This is a very divisive, polarizing fragrance by the very nature of its pretensions and has been a bit glossed over by some of the reviewers. This needs to come with a warning to blind buyers everywhere, beware. Pellegrin gave the "industrial" Italian fashion house exactly what they requested, an over the top, in your face powerhouse in the vein of 1 Million (but less classy, if that's even possible) for clubbing and being noticed for the 25 and under target audience. You certainly can't fault Pellegrin, he succeeded on every level and then some. Diesel Fuel for Life Spirit is a projection, sillage and longevity monster that pays proper tribute to its 1980's powerhouse archetypes. The iris and cinnamon give this its originality and opening shock and cover the burnt plastic accord underlying the entire wear. Do we even need to mention this is synthetic to its core and literally basks in its defiance of organic snobs? I'd be insulting your intelligence. It's obvious what you are buying when you reach for Diesel and thus can we hold it against them when they produce products that serve the purpose of reinforcing their clever marketing niche? No. Yes, some people like this. But, be cautious about pulling this out professionally or when you need to make an impression. It will repel just as many, if not more flies than it will attract. A lot of people in my life, including colleagues, family members and students hate this fragrance. A handful of others can't believe how original it is and ask me what it is. The silent majority? Well, they probably avoid me for a reason. Yes, this is a monster of performance. Sillage is enormous. Longevity is incredibly impressive. It has a novelty element to it that warms you up in the cold of winter and implies incredible confidence on the right guy gutsy enough to flaunt this beyond a club atmosphere. That being said, it's not particularly attractive as a scent when taken as a whole. It wasn't meant to be a sophisticated and refined statement of male dignity and elegance tucked underneath a $150 dress shirt and $75 tie. Diesel are masters of marketing. This falls under that category, but what makes Diesel so fun as a brand is that they produce disposable fashion with a remarkable conviction and determination to at the very least let the consumer in on the fun and the joke. Thus, for all its pros and cons, ultimately this is also pure fun and if you have disposable income to throw into the wind, the novelty of wearing this 4 or 5 times a winter and the creative packaging will give you ample pleasure over the years. .

An initially artifical-gourmand which after 3 hours becomes more powdery and nicer, with great longevity and projection... I applied 6 heavy sprays 0 - 2 hours- 2 foot projection. This is a fruity artificial gourmand with not pure cinammon. This is very similar to diesel fuel for life and the denim variant, but this one has a strong incense note which is not present in those others. The incense however smells more like leather. All of these frags share in common the same artifical-fruity qualities and sicklyness - I would not wear this in the summer. This has a weired burning plastic twist which adds to its chaos. IMHO not a safe blind buy 2 hours - 3.5 hours - 10 inch projection and good sillage. 3.5 hours - 6 hours - 6 inch projection. Quality for the first time comes in with the amber coming through- though it smells more like tonka bean. There is a little powder texture and this frag now smells like a modern Jaipur Boucheron Pour Homme - this is the best bit of this frag and a big change from the horrendous first 3 hours. It is now more sexy and between the bed sheets 6 hours - 9 hours - 3 inch projection 9 hours - 12 hours - Close to skin This frag offers big projection and longevity though the scent itself is very poor to begin with. It is becoming more affordable Not for me

I have never really been a fan of diesel fragrances and sadly this one has not changed my opinion of them. Spirit could have been an exceptionally good fragrance but it doesn't quite cut it for me. I find many things wrong with this: there are better similar fragrances in this price range or for even cheaper- Joop Homme, Joop Homme wild, dior homme intense, Angel men pure malt. Next I don't know who or where you would wear it the best I can come up with is a night out in the bar with mates or possibly a night club. Finally I don't know any ladies that like it. On the plus side this scent is unique, very strong, intense and has great projection. I get 10+ hours out of it. The scent itself lets it down. It is a very strong, powerful, very synthetic, sweet, black gummy or liquorice whisky kind of scent. The spices and amber make this warm and suitable for winter but it is unbearable for me. Far too cloying and sickly. If you love big powerful, spicy fragrances then you will probably like this. More reviews at mrproductreview.com
