Fila for Men

A worthwhile sweet fragrance, which I do not find too cloying. I was expecting a sports scent when I bought it, but it is closer to a barbershop fragrance. The combination of lavender, tonka and geranium ensure that as it evolves it becomes powdery in a subtle way. For the price it sells for it is good value.

Surprisingly decent for an unheralded cheapie. Not a typical body spray/sport drone like I expected, but much more an old-timey barbershop tonka/lavender/cedar composition, with a nice, sharp bergamot intro and some sweet florals (geranium?) in the heart. Good projection and longevity as well.

This is a dirt cheap scent you can easily pick up for $10 at Ross or Marshalls. 1) Rating and prominent notes 2) How I would wear it 3) How it makes me feel 1. It's a 5.1/10. Decent. In my opinion, not overwhelmingly cloying but it is sweet. Honestly, this is not bad, but not amazing. It dries out quickly but lasts long on skin depending on how much you spray. I get the tonka and the lavender. The bergamot is there in the opening and its a slightly harsh opening, I get some alcohol. 2. You can wear this to the gym or just for fun. I mean just for fun, not for dates.That's just me though because it does not inspire me to want wear it on a date. Wouldn't wear it for me personally, makes a great car or fabric freshener, or room spray. 3. I guess it can be comforting, but not challenging or inspiring. It's just plain and simple juice. Any man of any age can wear it if they choose to, but I honestly don't see this as anyone's first fragrance pick even though its cheap.

Got a 250 ml for $8. The fragrance could literally smell like dog asshole and I wouldn’t complain. I hardly wear it, just use it as an air freshener. Or spray it into my diffuser. But it’s a pleasant smell, it would be good for a gym scent. I’m not sure why fragrantica doesn’t have a “powdery” nuance listed, I just get too much “fresh spicy” out of this. But for how cheap I got it, it was a no brainer. Would I pay over $20 for this? Absolutely not. I have many cheapies that are far better. But like I said for the price, it’s quite good.

A very nice fresh and clean EdT suitable for most occasions. I get around 7-8hrs with 3-4 sprays and good projection for about 3-4hrs. I agree with @instantjim, to me it is closer to a barbershop fragrance than a sports scent. I think the $10-$15 you pay at one of the discount stores for a 3.4oz bottle of FILA is well worth it.
