Dirk

Easily the most pleasant green based, clean apple fragrance. Not synthetic. If it has some niche name on it, it will be 150 dollars. I was really pleasantly suprised by it. For spring and summer. Defining sweet is now really hard because of a lot of gourmands which are on the market. And this is not a gourmand. Very nice. Edit: this fragrance is made by Benoist Lapouza. Its magic is actually starting in a drydown which is staying beautiful animalic citrus for 5 hours on skin after initial blast of greeness for 2 hours. Ill buy back up bottle because its fantastic! Im blown away. Edit 1.0: I bought 100ml bottle which is hard to find. Very happy :)

ottimo profumo fresco dolce stessa lunghezza d onda di invictus e blue de chanel , solo la bottiglia vale il prezzo tra l altro molto basso , lo consiglio ai ragazzi e uomini di ogni età. riceverete di sicuro dei bei complimenti,

It's a lovely cheap scent which is not trying to be original but it is still very enjoyable. Easy blind buy if you want a Paco Rabanne Invictus style scent. Super summery daytime scent. The design and bottle is very nice and deserves a bonus point.

What a huge disappointment! I used to own many of Bikkembergs clothes, so when I saw this, it was a logical step to achieve. But what a chemical mess, I should have known seeing the artificial colour. It’s cheap, oversweet, never thought something could be worse than sauvage, but here it is. Although really cheap, try before you buy, it simply is no good!

When he started out Dirk Bikkembergs rapidly became my favourite designer as he was one of the very few who dared make utterly sexy clothes for men. Alas the brand diluted rapidly with the global success of the Bikkembergs sport-infused diffusion line. The company was bought by a Chinese conglomerate, Dirk Bikkembergs left his brand and now it is struggling to find it's footing. A long introduction to say that I secretly hoped the first perfume would be an absolute showstopper to one up everyone and show us that Dirk Bikkembergs is till relevant today. It isn't. As with much of the clothes they churn out these days, the juice is very mediocre. The packaging is ok, a bit too busy maybe. The bottle itself is stunning and the green colour is nice although I never understood why perfume needs to be coloured ... whoever claims the opening of this perfume is super sexy must have been high on something cause it chemical, generic and not good at all. The frangrance is in the vein of all the Police / Replay / ... and other cheap colognes aimed at youngsters ... I got 2x 30ml bottles rather cheap but I won't be using them ... they'll just be nice to look at. What a wasted opportunity for the brand to make their mark like the clothes used to ... decades ago ...

For the 10 Euro's I spent on the 50 ML version - which I bought as a gift -, I would say this is a fine buy. The opening slightly reminds me of Calvin Klein's Eternity, probably due to the bergamot, geranium and orange blossom that the two of them have in common. After the initial blast, some A&F Fierce similarities join the party. When the top and middle notes fade, a dusty, musky, suede-ish dry down remains. Longevity is so-so. Nothing I would buy for myself or recommend to a more experienced perfume enthousiast, but I think as a safe and cheap gift, Dirk works wonders. The total package looks really appealing and the scent is accessible and mass appealing.

one of the better blind buys of recent months for me! not harsh or synthetic, really a nice fall fragrance with a fresh opening and a sweeter drydown good quality for money; I paid 10 € for 30 ml Also very pretty bottle ;-)
