Nitro Green

A version of Ultra Male and 9pm. Not much more to say. Lol. Much less "bubblegummy" than 9pm for me, hits more in the zone of Ultra Male especially in the opening. Lots of vanilla, lots of lavender, amber, with hints of green going around with it. I also do get an slightly earthy touch, giving credit to the notes. Good longevity with good sillage, great for cooler weather, but wouldn't be offensive on cooler summer days. This is something I'd maybe consider wearing on a date in the fall or winter, much I like I love using le male elixir for. But I'd wear this to work or whatever all the same too. Didn't like 9pm all that much and I gave my bottle away very quick after purchase to my much younger nephew, who appreciated it more than I did. Lol. This seems to be a bit more my age more than anything I think too. I've sampled Ultra Male and this does hit a little more in line with that for me, and as usual with a lot of "clones", the performance here is as good as Ultra Male, maybe even a little better on the sillage for me. Not a long review for me, but not really much more to say. I dig it.

This smells like Mancera Aoud Lemon Mint, which is strange considering there are no citric notes (or any fruity notes, for that matter) in Nitro Green. Like Aoud Lemon Mint, Green smells a bit synthetic but I suppose what do you expect from a $28 cologne. Still, it smells really good, projects well enough and is sure to garner compliments. Aoud Lemon Mint becomes a little more woody after the opening, whereas Green is more linear and stays that same opening scent throughout its lifespan. If you happen to own ALM already, it might be redundant to buy Green -- it's not a 1:1 clone -- the vanilla note is much more noticeable in Nitro Green's opening, where ALM leans more tart citrus in its opening. But those around you would be highly unlikely to tell the difference. while Which is the better value depends on your priority: Aoud Lemon Mint is more expensive ($90-$120) but has much stronger performance. Green has weaker performance but is significantly cheaper ($30).

#820 in my "Tour de Fragrance" So, right off the bat, this may in fact be trying to be JPG Ultra Male. Just like Afnan 9PM, just like Lattafa Ramz Silver. I have them all. Ramz Silver is indistinguishable from Ultra Male for me. 9PM is a little sharper in the opening, but otherwise indistinguishable. This scent is outperforms Ultra Male, 9PM and Ramz Silver, is slightly greener, not fruity, but just as likeable as Ultra Male. Solid performance. I'm very happy with this blind buy. Car pool, elevator, office safe, but I think like the other two Nitros I've purchased so far, "Blue" and "Red", it's casual wear for me, and I'm definitely ordering the other Nitro flankers.

Another powerful fragrance, and also not a direct clone. Think JPG Ultra Male or Afnan 9pm with a green aromatic fougère element. Thankfully this isn't super bubblegummy, though there is that Dumont Nitro sweetness hiding in it. It's really good with this vanillic soft floral open that gets down to business with wonderful juicy green shower gel notes (absolutely my favorite part), lavender, resinous and powdery amberwood. The heart reminds me significantly of an Old Spice Swagger cedar shower gel that I love. The base grounds the fragrance with an earthiness where that shower gel cedar loses some of the juicy sweetness and blends with the aromatic fir resin.

Think Baccarat Rouge Extrait, Ultra Male and Luna Rossa Ocean Parfum. All mixed. Perfectly. The opening sugariness from Baccarat and its Saffron note with the ultramale bubblegumminess then the lavender starts coming out almost exactly like the Lavender from Luna Rosaa Ocean Parfum. The sugary saffron fades and you're left with a perfect mix of JPG UM and LROP. 10/10 versatile long lasting middle Eastern cheapie. Best of the bunch alongside Nitro White. This one is more versatile.
