Original 1910

The best cheapie of all-time? Some say it in the reviews for this $7/oz scent. Well, I opened the box and sprayed 4-5 times into it. Immediately, my wife, across the kitchen from me, said, "That's sexy." She tends to like the majority of quality scents, so I smirked and said this is $10/bottle. She said, "I don't care. It is sexy and makes me want to get close." That is a good sign. I wore it all day today, and I like it too. It smells spicy with a bit of wood. I don't get any citrus. i oversprayed it a bit and it has lasted 12 hours with very reasonable projection. You will never choke anyone out with this scent. It is a bit challenging to get very specific about the notes. I get nutmeg and cinnamon with some green notes, and a woody, tonka, and musk base. This could be the best cheapie of all-time. If you see it for a good price (I gave $10 for 1.7oz/50ml on ebay), I recommend trying it. It is woody and spicy, and a little green, and I will be wearing it this summer, as well as in cooler weather. This is a 365 day/year scent. Bright and pleasant enough for summer, yet the exact same strengths make it appropriate for winter too. Perfect for the workplace, social events, romantic evenings, and just hanging around for a day doing things at home. I can't say many scents are this flexible. I could wear this with a tuxedo and it would just be perfect.

Like sipping a warm, spicy Earl Grey tea on a chilly autumn evening. Maybe not exactly Earl Grey, but the combination of citrus and spice definitely brings it to mind. And it certainly doesn't bring to mind anything to do with boxing, as the Everlast brand might suggest, and that's fine with me. Despite the price, it doesn't smell cheap to me. I'd call this both warm-spicy and fresh-spicy, but more warm than fresh. The citrus notes dominate at first, but it quickly mellows out into a nice balance with the spicy notes and a faint sweetness. I'm surprised there's no bergamot (used in Earl Grey) on the list, but I guess the other citrus notes fill the role of bergamot, and probably also contribute to its freshness. The mint is funny, sometimes I notice it, sometimes I don't. This is probably more of a scent for 25+ men. I can smell it out to about 7 hours, but it fades to a 'skin scent' after only about 3.5-4 hours. Hey, at this price you can afford an occasional re-spray. Overall, a very nice scent that shows just how good a bargain cologne can smell, if you get the right nose behind it (Antoine Lie, perhaps best known for the original Armani Code).

I guess I'd call this a citrus/leather "fougeriental." The ingredients seem to be of decent quality, which surprised me. Anyway, you get intense grapefruit/citrus at first with some mild mint, along with a typical fougere accord (emphasizing the herbal aspect of it). Over time, this weakens and a strong "clean" leather note emerges, along with the oriental accord of patchouli, tonka, spice, and mild wood. It's not quite as complex or strong as the "power" fragrances of the 1980s but it does reference them. Was this an attempt to "go retro?" It's a good all-around fragrance, especially for those who want "substance" in a recent men's fragrance, except perhaps in really hot and humid conditions (when I'd probably reach for something like Green Jeans), due to the clear musky quality. The only thing is that you would have to be in the mood for the fougere accord, the strong citrus at first, and the leather note. I get very good longevity and projection ("sillage") with it. If you don't want to pay retail for Eau Sauvage Fraicheur Cuir this might be good enough for you.

As others have said this is a great cheapie but only if you like classic style scents. This is very gentlemanly and very spicy. The Grapefruit and the Lime are the main players in the opening - really well done and then the spices come absolutely bursting on the scene with the Cinnamon and Nutmeg really taking over. I could also swear there is a tea note lurking there somewhere - either way it's brilliantly done. In the drydown the woods and leather come a bit more into play but tbh they just lurk in the base. Now this is extremely well blended and nothing to suggest you are buying a budget scent here - if this had a designer label on it then you could easily be fooled into thinking you were buying something exotic and expensive. I find notes with cinnamon etc. can sometimes comes across too Christmassy but not here as the notes are blended so well. With the cooler weather creeping in this should get a lot of wearing and already glad I have a backup bottle. Grab it with no questions asked.

I have been waiting to buy this ever since I first tried it. The very first few times I saw this I walked on by: it just didn't seem like it could be a worthwhile prospect. At $19.95 Australian (on sale) for a 100mL EDT, 100mL hair and body shampoo and a 75g deodorant - it just seemed too cheap to be a quality product. Then I tried it. An intense lavender and orange opening gives way to middle notes which include spices and wood. The opening notes are so delightful that I found myself reapplying the fragrance every hour or two. The basenotes of leather, musk and wood under pin the other notes, making this a robust and masculine fragrance. The musk and leather are the last notes I detect before it eventually fades to nothing. The sillage is reasonable and it lasts quite well - about 4 hours. Well worth the meagre investment.

This is one of the best 'value' buys I have made. This is available at very reasonable prices, however, it is not a "cheap" scent. I was very surprised to find a fragrance by Everlast to have such a heady, sophisticated scent. This is not some cheap, mass marketed oriental, but rather a well-designed oriental blended by perfumer Antoine Lie from Givaudan. While the top notes are initially a bit harsh, they mellow quickly into a very attractive heart lasting for about 2 hours. The heart notes are lovely and transition to a lovely, solid base. This potion lasts for a full 8 hours on my skin. If I didn't know better, I would think that this was a very expensive niche frag. Oriental lovers ----- don't miss this one. Two thumbs up!!!

It sometimes fascinates me how well blended a Cheapie can be. This one is in my top five of my Cheapie category. It doesn't have a sharp or harsh opening dominated by citrus. It is a mellow fragrance which moves gently through top-mid-base. Citrus, floral, creamy wood. Simple but complex at the same time. In the 80s I once smelled and tested a cologne called Vorago which I believe was made by a company from Spain. For some reason Everlast reminds me of that scent although i have only smelled and tested it once as a younger kid. It's one of those scent memories which trigger associations. Overall a very good scent. Doesn't fumigate a room but stays with you for a while.

I shall start by saying that this juice is well and truly worth tracking down. It's cheap and it smells exactly as I imagine the creator envisioned. Like fresh new gym gear with that slight but purposeful synthetic smell of the acrylic paint over the brand new leather gear you just can't seem to stop sniffing. Coupled with a slightly sweet minty lime twang of general cleanliness, this fragrance is an excellent choice for daily wear or working out. Non offensive, manly and worth twice what you will pay for it. Edit: Almost a year since I bought this, I still agree with myself from a year ago.

This one shocked me how beautiful it smells. I expected more of a generic "sporty" scent but this is a green, fresh, spicy floral that's super manly, unique and with above average performance. Despite being formulated in 1910 this smells much more modern. Can be worn pretty much any season. More of a casual weekend daytime kind of scent than a suit and tie scent. This would make a kick-ass scent for the gym after your workout. That is if the gyms ever open again with this covid-19 crap.

VERY likable and under-rated with a lot of character. Quite cheap at the moment but doesn't smell inexpensive. In fact, if this costed 3 times the price, I would still buy it. There's something about this that is really nice. A fresh citrus and mint opening with a touch of cinnamon. Then a fresh, soapy, leather and spicy dry-down. The silage is fresh and soapy, this is a great men's retro cologne. A neat little bottle too, it's a knockout

This one is a Knockout! I could see this being Evander Holyfield's signature scent. Refined yet rugged. For a cheapie it is very well blended and longevity is great. I would say this is safe for a blind buy as it is very inexpensive and has great versatility. Price to quality is fantastic!

It is absolutely great What a surprise Spicy Old fashioned Super masculine Great smelling Long lasting Well blended Very very good Great projection and overall power 👌

Brilliant! A very versatile warm spicy yet fresh fragrance witha typical 90`s vibe to it. Smell like springtikme sunshine on a wooden garden table. Totally love this!

One of the nicest cheapies out there. I got 100ml for 3 bucks (yes three). So, I bought another. A gem and under-rated.

Love this one,had a stick.Did not try this EDT !

Folks, before I start off; I have never purchased the actual cologne in an Eau de Toilette form. I have purchased the underarm deodorant stick, bar soap and the deodorant spray. I was happy with the stick and bar of Everlast Original soap. These do not project though, at least on me. The deodorant spray in an 8.4 fl oz can though is awesome! Also, I want to add that I am amazed out how some basenoters can break down a scent, dissect it every which way and describe exactly what the immediate spray on, drydown and end note scents are. I can't, sorry; this is "flowery" but not emasculating. The very first time I wore it, my sister came straight up to me and put her nose up to my upper chest/armpit area and took a big whiff and told me she was impressed. She is a very simple, down to earth person and has never, of what I can recall, complemented me on a scent like she did this one. I know some of you might be hesitant to go out and try it out, especially if you just read my review on an aerosol scent. I know spray ons and the like of axe and tag have true lovers of scents rolling their eyes. I got to tell you though, I'm afraid to try the EDT for fear of being disappointed. This deodorant spray is great and projects but will not "force" itself on passerbys. Best thing? It, to me, is a diamond in the rough. It is very inexpensive but smells like much more $$! And the deodorant spray lasts!

Ladies and gentleman, in this corner we have a challenger for best under the radar cheapie! Coming in at 1.7oz for just under $13, this fragrance punches above it’s weight class in terms of scent and performance. Ok enough with the boxing jokes and down to business. The bottle is cheap looking I’ll give ya that! If you look closely at the label it even looks cheaply printed. But the glass feels tangible in your hand and the atomizer is not bad. Again, we’re talking 13 bucks here! As for the scent itself? It’s linear... I get a predominantly smooth creamy leather enveloped in a warm blanket of woods and spice, then it’s all sweetened with a hint of that citrus. I think you’ll like this if you’re not familiar at all with leather based scents or are just looking for a leather scent that isn’t challenging but easy to wear -or- you’re looking for something that’s “fresh spicy” and doesn’t hit you over the head with that lime/orange/grapefruit combo- I believe it’s there but I don’t readily pick up on it. Like I said it performs well for me. I get a full 8-10 workday out of it. It’s not a projection beast but I get whiffs all day long on it. I haven’t received any compliments on it yet but it’s a standout for me that I’m gonna be rocking all year long. Thumbs WAY UP, guys! Get this now! SYL

i received a free sample of this and was pleasantly surprised. although i find the longevity to be a bit lacking, the fragrance itself is one that filled a hole in my collection. it's "fresh," but it feels kind of warm and soft, not too synthetic (compare to "curve," for example, which i find fresh but synthetic and potentially headache-inducing if overused). in a VERY slight way, it almost reminds me of a softer, leathery version of chanel's allure homme (note: this is a very loose and personal comparison; your mileage may vary.) for me, this fragrance seems like it fits perfectly for after a post-workout shower. i can definitely detect the leather base, although i have a hard time discerning other individual notes. it certainly seems fit for the more active type, though. all in all, it's a fragrance i enjoy and feel like wearing after a good workout and shower. and considering i just found a 3.3oz bottle for $5.50, i have to say it's worth the price, even if the longevity is on the short side.

Saw this on a gentleman's journey when ceolife today recommended. Made me curious and then I saw it at shops. Airy citrus with a subtle leather mid follows. Opening may be a little synthetic. But damn this lasts, which is worth the price tag alone - ten bucks from chemist warehouse here in Oz. How a sports fragrance should be done. when the body heats up it maintains, Great for spring and summer, . Reminds me of Nautica voyage Sports drydown but wth leather and much more well blended. Considering the price is good to wear everyday, whether doing nothing at home, running errands or when you perhaps don't need to put anything on like mowing the lawn. It's a Freshie that pleases. I like it. This should actually be the new Mont blanc Individuel in terms of price and performance and versatility hype train. Smell 7/10 Performance 8/10 Price and value 10/10 Versatility 8/10

This smells great for the price. I agree with the positive reviews below and "Kiku"s description - slightly sweet, cedar, woody, and a bit herby. Smells much more expensive than it is. Fresh but warm and masculine. Could wear this any time but for me it's for everyday wear apart from when it is very hot. First time I tried it disappeared in 3 hours but if you let it dry then reapply it is still there at 8 hours, has very good projection early on and noticably projects beyond 5 hours. It's cheap enough to still be great value. This is probably aimed at a younger age group than me but is a decent smelling, low priced gem with good projection that you can squeeze good longevity from. Very pleasantly surprised. Like it a lot.
