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.

Some people are going in hard on this fragrance. I personally got this years ago and then again recently. I just finished mine ( have another in reserve ) and personally, I like this. This is a soft, beautiful, light but strong enough to make an impression scent. It's unique ( definitely doesn't smell like anything else to me ) and for me personally, it lasts a few hours or more ( depending on the climate, heat, etc. ) I've gotten compliments on this personally, not many but have. I want to say this has a cotton candy mixed with a really nice soap smell when I smell it. I do think it's worth picking up, it's real cheap these days. But, to each their own because it seems people are really divided on this. Personally, again, I like it. *Revisiting my review on June 5th, 2026* because I had to post how much I actually love this fragrance and not like it and I will have this in my permanent collection.

For anyone who knows this fragrance will know its a fantastic fragrance for the price it used to be sold for, its so hard to get hold of now as there are only (old) new stock available on Amazon (maybe), this fragrance was for the night before the day after when you had those crazy nights out and you needed something to spray to bring you into the next day (you know who you are :) ) ,top 90's , 00's cheap fragrance that smelled like a more expensive deal, I'm fortunate to still have an original bottle in my collection :).. * I have the long lasting **strong projecting older batch (on skin) before the EU safety changes, i only spray this on special occasions or special nights out and it messes with people's heads because some know it but can't pin point it or they think its a new fragrance :).. An alternative is Alfred-Dunhill/Desire-for-a-Man which gives more or less the same vibe..

This cologne is a favorite of mine. Not so much because of the smell of it but because of where the smell takes me. This is a "dated" smell. It has i love the 90s screaming all through out the course of its progression. I get the whole citrusy-milk thing everyone else says. I dont get the "spoiled milk"....at all...ever. This is definitely a safe work scent, gym scent, casual scent. If youre a collector, i wouldnt wear this on a date because im sure you have something that is a little more occasion appropriate but all and all i say this is a good scent. It gets points from me for being cheap. You can find this on ebay for less than $20. Not a must have but a solid addition to any collection. 7.5/10 from me.

True master perfumery. Art in a bottle. I've garnered so much respect over the course of the last few years with Diesel Plus Plus. I find this scent truly beautiful. If this creation had "Chanel" stamped on it's bottle, sales could have surpassed Blue by miles. The approach here is youthful, but with it's woody, ever so slightly smoky base, Plus Plus can be worn by almost every age group with the right frame of mind in tact. Think of a dreamsicle sitting on an old, but clean wooden park bench during the April Spring time, or an the same scenario on an October Autumn day. After rediscovering, I'm moving this to my favorites shelf. I'll always have room in my rotation for this underappreciated gold mine.

Diesel Plus Plus Masculine is one of the scents that hooked me into sweet fragrances. It smells like an assortment of candied fruits, kind of like sugary, but maintains masculinity. The mellowed sweetness after the brief strong opening, is really pleasant and not cloying. Overall, it is milky/creamy -- a really warm fragrance if you want to feel youthful or if you are around younger crowd. The longevity is very good – I use 5-7 sprays spread out around my body and neck, and the projection is not over-empowering. Don’t be fooled by the price (around $15-$20), Diesel++ Masculine is an enjoyable scent that is quite unique.... it will always be a part of my wardrobe.

I get so many compliments about this fragrance, it is lovely I wear this as an everyday fragrance just for work, it suits this perfectly it isn't too strong but strong enough to be noticed, if I'm working a longer shift I spray a bit more on my clothes it lasts about 6 hours on my skin and I pay £9 a bottle, so buy 3 at a time and they do a gift set with shower gel and lotion for £10 at the moment I have three of each shouldn't run out in a while. One thing I am surprised about is that no one has picked up vanilla notes ?? Or is that just me ? but I also pick up the jasmine and anise notes more than the cinnamon notes, maybe I just have a funny nose. :-)

This was love on a first smell. My partner wore it on our first date. I was not sure did he come from the shower or he was in the forest right before our date. He smelled fresh but like some masculine lamberjack. I was in heaven 😅 At first you can smell lemon peel with sugar and ground black pepper. Little bit later on top of that notes you can add some freshly cut green leafs and some creamy wood and at the end add a bunch of different spices. At first it's very sharp but not for long. It's very beautiful as time goes on. Longevity is great (I can feel it after 12h) and sillage is strong. At least on my partner. And it's not a safe blind buy...at all.

I simply adore this- it's my absolute favorite! Fresh yet warm and spicy. It's a beautiful blend of fresh and warm notes that make me feel like I'm walking into my favorite cozy coffee shop, yet it also gives me the invigorating feeling of exploring a new city on a crisp and sunny morning. There's something about it that reminds me of the youthful spirit of 90s European teenagers. Not only does it have a great price point, but it also has a vibrant and lively energy that's hard to find in other fragrances. I sincerely hope this gem is never discontinued. Out of all the Diesel fragrances, this one is definitely the standout for me.

This is an absolutely classic fragrance. The fresh, citrusy opening fades into a warm, flowery but masculine scent. Dry down is smooth, and all throughout, the fragrance has gives off a smooth vibe. Maybe it’s a placebo, but I do sense some milkyness in this fragrance. Super smooth, somewhat difficult to describe. Performance is good. Sillage is decent. Doesn’t last an eternity on my skin, but never seems to fade from my clothes. Price is insanely cheap. Smells high quality while costing almost nothing which earns it so much more practicality. Anyone from any age group can pull this off. Absolute gem. 10/10

This was one of my first few fragrances and I thought I'd revisit this. Maybe it's partially the nostalgia I have for it, but I find this solid, balanced and performs well. Back when I was a poor college student my collection consisted of; this, Joop Rococco and Prada Amber and they were all blind buys. What I am learning is how much notes in these fragrances still influence my purchases to this day. While I won't recommend this fragrance to the average person. I will recommend retrying some of the first fragrances you bought, you might find out something interesting about yourself.

Marginally 'masculine' but very nice, especially once it dries. Projects like mad. I knew I had the right fragrance when an old geezer looked like he wanted to punch me in the face for wearing it around him. If you are looking for something that is NOT an "Aqua" or "traditional" then this is (was) for you. BTW it smells almost exactly like Samourai Bronze which isn't on this site for some reason. So if that is easier to get, then it might be worth considering since Plus Plus is discontinued.

This is what we X-Gen wore to the disco dressed like the guys from A Night At The Roxbury. Just bought it again as it seems to be back in stock, and surprisingly as strong as when we headbanged to "What Is Love". Nikos is indeed similar, but diurnal and more orange blossom, white floral nature, while this is an ambroxan bomb of tutti-frutti sweet debauchery. Just go ahead and grab this amazing piece of memorabilia before it's off the market and forever living rent free inside your head.

Just ordered another bottle of this. It's one of those perfumes that you feel guilty about loving it somehow. It's a little harsh and "in your face" but, well, I just thought it was full of character and is very noticeable. It's also very masculine. I have a lot of perfumes but this is unique. and a little weird. It's on its way and I'm really looking forward to spritzing this bad boy on again. *Update* Wearing this now and it's got so much character and it's spicy and fresh

This scent starts out very strong. I only need like two sprays or it will become too cloying and I won't enjoy it. I don't detect cinnamon that much. This smells so masculine, sweet and wonderful! The longetivity and projection on me are amazing. Sprayed on skin it lasts about 6 to 8 hours and sprayed on clothes it can hit the 10 hour mark pretty easily. For the price you're paying, this is an amazing scent that needs to be in every man's collection.

A good scent let down by some real WTF marketing. Seriously, cows?! Who wants to buy a cologne that's associated with cows? It doesn't really smell milky or anything, other than a bit of the vanilla-and-warm-spice smell of tonka beans. Anyway, it's a nice warm-spicy scent overall. It's brightened up with a bit of citrus and some of the sharper spices, but also has some softer qualities in the background with the floral notes.
