Plus Plus Masculine

Diesel Plus Plus was one of the first fragrances i actually bought along with a few other cheap designer frags - once i sprayed this was i surprised! The first reaction was that this blew everything else out of the water at this price point (and pretty much everything above its price point) and has been one of my signature scents for years. The top notes sometimes come off a little alcoholic (especially if you spray more than 5 times) and you definitely need to wait a good 5-10 minutes at least before the fragrance starts to unfold on your skin Once the alcohol subsides, you are left with a purely creamy, sweet vanilla/coconut/mint vibe with some noticeable musk a strikingly unique sweet/sour accord which makes the overall sweetness even nicer and quite unusual giving a milky note that this fragrance is famous for - it can have a very candy like sweetness but is balanced to provide some masculinity with just enough sandalwood. The overall smell is very, very nice and dries down to a tonka/vanilla bomb. Although, can come off slightly synthetic at times, To me, this is easily one of the best original, sweet fragrances and it's a shame it's discontinued though it's so cheap you can buy 3-4 of these for the price of a typical designer fragrance As far as projection and longevity goes - this is totally a mixed bag. typical 5-7 hours on my skin though more if i spray more and you can be a bit more liberal on your skin with this one. projection is probably average to good for the first 5 hours then it sits closer to the skin Definitely for the younger crowd/young adults can pull this off and the smell is not offensive in any way. Masterpiece of a casual scent that because of it's unique smell can be worn all year round The only negative i can give about this fragrance is the sprayer which is very flimsy and easily prone to breaking in some way! the spray itself is very weak but you get what you pay for the the juice inside is certainly worth the slight discomforts for it's price point, no complaints overall Overall rating - 9/10

I've always been a sucker for these 90's sport scents, and the best thing about them is that just about anyone can pull them off at any age. I've never tried Plus Plus until recently, but upon applying I was instantly thrown back to my 1997 Junior year of high school while driving around in my buddy's Plymouth Acclaim as The Verve's "Bitter Sweet Symphony" played on his CD player, as it seemed everyone at that time was wearing this style of fragrance. Diesel Plus Plus is not a clone of Polo Sport, but it's definitely in that realm of 90's nostalgia. A homerun blind buy of watery, Atlantic orange meeting a sweet mainland of marshmellow infused tonka, spices and honeysuckle florals. This scent feels lighthearted and fun, which to me feels like what this Diesel offering was originally set out to portray from the very beginning. They succeeded by my experience so far. The only people who would bash a scent like this are those goofy folks who boast about paying 90 bucks for a Ralph Lauren polo shirt that was more than likely manufactured in a sweat shop somewhere over in Vietnam by a 9 year old for pennies on the dollar. They're not smart enough to realize that "expensive" and "quality" do not necessarily go hand in hand with each other, thus snubbing their nose at any bargin they come across with reprehension and doubt due to a low price point. When it comes down to these quality online cheapies, I'm immediately reminded of that somewhat famous line from Jon Lovitz in the film, The Wedding Singer....."He's losing his mind...and I'm reaping all the benefits".

Wow! I really did not expect too much from this. Extremely affordable and its literally amazing! Plus Plus Masculine totally can pass as unisex. I was actually a little scared or trying the female version it seemed way too sweet for me, so I decided to try out this version. I sprayed it on this morning and it lasted me throughout my long day which is a plus for me! I couldn't help but dousing myself in it again when I got home. I was craving more of it, which is definitely and unusual reaction for me... So to me the fragrance is great. Its not overly synthetic too my nose at all. Plus Plus is spicy yet sweet. A blend of nutmeg and cinnamon which is delightful, mixed with more subtle patchouli. I love these notes! What makes this fragrance interesting is the sweet oranges that I smell lingering in the background. Somehow this does manage to replicate a milky note not too sure or what combination is giving the fragrance its creamy smell. Maybe the combination of tonka bean, sandalwood, jasmine and heliotrope? It almost kind of reminds be of a orange creamsicle on my skin, but it could be just how it reacts with my skin chem. Thankfully it is not overly sweet. Whatever it is I know I'm really enjoying it! As I said earlier the fragrance has great lasting power. However you have to be a little careful of how much you put on because if it is over sprayed I think someone could possible find it too strong and offensive. Plus Plus Masculine is definitely a fragrance that can be worn by a girl or a guy. ^_^

This opens with a sharp burst of notes and settles quickly into a sweet spicy fragrance. Others have commented about a similarity or lack of similarity with Dunhill Desire Blue. I can't remember ever trying the Blue, but I have the Desire Red and I picked a similarity immediately upon drydown. To me there is a definite warm woody/floral heart, which has hints of tobacco and leather (in reality it's probably the birch I'm smelling). The longevity is excellent and the musk is alive and kicking many hours after the initial application. I picked this up for the equivalent of about $12.75 US and for that price it is an excellent prospect. One thing I must say is the packaging does not help sell the product. Yes it's quirky, but makes the product look cheap. Last year when I was unfamiliar with this product I saw it for $10 Australian (about $8.50 US) but "walked on by" . The colour of the bottle and the allusion to cows is a red herring as it has nothing to do with cows and the "milk note" to my nose and (other people's) is purely imaginary.

This fragrance resembles Aphex Twin composing a song about milk delivery – oddly wonderful, entirely surprising, and remarkably smooth. Wait, he actually did that...... I discovered three vintage bottles at my local store – a true Indiana Jones moment of thrift store triumph – two for men, one for women, artifacts from a past era. As a fan, I couldn't help but indulge. The first spray was enchanting. Unlike those EDTs that fade by lunchtime, this one endured all day. By the afternoon, the office was alive with nostalgia as people reminisced about wearing it in the 90s. Then, just as swiftly, they vanished. Now, I'm relishing the final drops, each spray a treasured memory. The highlight? Layering. When paired with Lalique Encre Noire Extrême, it transforms into a smoky, gothic, citrus milk dream – a black and white comic page you can actually smell. I'll wear it with confidence, leaving others to ponder. Bold. Unyielding. Cinematic. If you come across it, seize it. Some gems are worth the chase.
