Office For Men

The good, the bad, and the ugly. The good: It actually smells really nice. I agree it mostly smells like Aventus formulated with more ambroxan. To be honest I don't get any of the Sauvage or Bleu de Chanel that is talked about, just Aventus with perhaps a tinge of Terre d'Hermes (not a bad thing I love the Aventus DNA). It opens with a very natural citrus blast. Unlike others here, I find it less screechy than almost every other blue fragrance I've tried. The drydown has the same sort of woodsy musk that Aventus has, minus the smokieness. Seems to perform very well! I really like the look of the Fragrance One bottles with the sleek shape and simple text on the front. And the atomizer is pressurized! The bad: As most have said the packaging leaves more to be desired. The box is a bit flimsier than others, but not as bad as people made it out to be. The real kicker is the cap. Its that super thin stamped aluminum cap that comes on travel bottles that bends super easy. Just about any other kind of cap would have been better. The ugly: the regular price for this fragrance is criminal. I got it for about $100, which for the juice is fair imo. But anything more and the bottle needs to be better. Separately; however, I want to address the most common critique of this fragrance: that it is derivative, uninspiring, redundant, mass appealing, etc. Of course it is!!! The whole design philosophy behind these fragrances was to make the best, long lasting fragrances for certain situations which garner the most compliments. So you mean to tell me that this fragrance pulls inspiration from Aventus and Sauvage, some of the most well known and highest grossing fragrances of all time? Duh! Fragrance One has been transparent about this since the beginning! And they got Alberto Morillas, the guy who made what used to be the highest selling men's fragrance (Acqua di Gio) to formulate it! And it shows, the fragrance is extremely well formulated! Im sick of people complaining that things are "mass appealing". So they smell good? They are easy to wear? Not every fragrance needs to smell like donkey piss in order to validate a "refined palate". Don't get me wrong I really appreciate the artistry and creativity that fragrances can have. And I totally agree that it is frustrating when everything starts smelling the same, but when that is what you sign up for, why are you mad? Yes, for the price having something redundant is silly, but thats an issue with the price, not the fragrance. Nice fragrance overall. Glad I could get a bottle if it is actually getting discontinued this time.

Adytzyca gets it. I’m going to spell this out clearly so people understand. Firstly, Jeremy is a character. An actor who is playing a roll in a fictional play we call YouTube. Google kayfabe. Moving on to the review. The price? Let’s get price controversy out of the way. Fragrance in general is not expensive. A fragrance will last people years if they have more than one in their collection. Even paying $400 for a 100ml bottle of something is ergonomically acceptable. Yet, in the case of Office For Men, $118 USD for 100ml is more than acceptable. I would argue a bargain. (The bogo has always been applied on the website). If you pay full price, you’ve forgotten to add another bottle to your cart fam. The presentation? Well, it’s simple. If I were to market an office fragrance, the presentation would be simple too. The box and the bottle looks like the fragrance smells. The atomiser, which is important, is fantastic. The smell? It’s simple, unchallenging, fresh and clean. You know, like what you would want from an office fragrance. It smells off the skin how you would want people to smell you in the air. It’s linear. It strips away the challenging / cloying notes from the other popular fragrances (like the metallic smell of Sauvage, or the smoky smell of Aventus) to leave the wearer with the only notes that matter in an office setting.... The ones others enjoy in the air. The performance? Good luck finding another fresh, blue fragrance that projects and lasts this long and maintains its freshness this long. It lasts over 10 hrs. If you can’t smell it after 8 hrs, others will. Trust me. The take away? This is an Alberto creation, not a Jeremy one. Some credit should go to Jeremy for requesting it and marketing it, but I’m not interested in all that noise. For me, a great projecting, long lasting, simple, great smelling, compliment getting, all season, relatively cheap fragrance that I know no other person around me is wearing...... sign me up. As for Jeremy? Who cares..... Kayfabe people. The guy plays a lunatic on YouTube. I don’t even associate him with this banger of a fragrance.

So much hate for something that everyone wants.... Loud projection, Long lasting, Mass appealing & as cringey as it is... A massive compliment getter. When I first got this I was a little disappointed because it smelt 80% close to a £4 primark fragrance I had... I think it was called Bergamot & Vanille. But the performance & blend was trash. I wore Office for men once & it was kinda meh. I wore it a few more times & my mates kept pointing out how much they could smell it, even when they walked away about 10 meters. I got a compliment from a lady behind glass with a mask on in a coffee shop, which was mad considering it was through the layers. I have over 100+ fragrances so my GF rarely gives a sh*t when I wear something, but EVERY time I wear office for men she always compliments me without fail. I've also had clients mention it that have never previously commenting on my fragrance. My brother in law kept asking me what it was I was wearing & said he could smell it in the cinema before he knew I was there haha. My mate who is also a fraghead disliked it at first but had a spray on his hand & literally got a compliment walking past someone! It's actually mental. Yes it's not crazy new or niche at all! But it is very pleasant smelling with great projection. It's the ambroxan from Sauvage, mixed with the woods from Explorer with a little white floral blend that lasts. It's become a favourite of mine!

Grabbed a bottle for $60. I was happy that the box was cheap as I think its crazy what some companies do to try to mask their horrible scents. I'd much rather have the money go to the juice. The atomizer absolutely sucks, but I perfer that. It shoots out a stream and creates a puddle which makes for zero waste. This is an amazing scent. I wasn't expecting it to be so fresh and fruity but that bergamot really stands out hard. I love this fragrance and the performance is on point. Solid 9/10 and Office is the perfect name for it. Its very inoffensive and welcoming to all that come within an arms reach. Would I pay the initial $300 asking price? Hell no! I would never pay that much for any fragrance. $150 is my max and there aren't many out of my reach if you know where to look. I am looking forward to trying Date as I also purchased a bottle of it for $55. That will probably be the extent of my Fragrance One experience. I am not sure why everyone hates on Jeremy. He's a little kooky, but seems to be a genuinely good dude. He's always praising other fragrances and not shilling his own. He has nothing to gain by giving high marks to others which is refreshing in the fragrance marketing scheme of things. Fragrance One fan I am...

This was my best blind buy of 2025. This fragrance is a one-size-fits-all beast. Office. Gym. Dates. Beach Days. Etc. This can be worn ANYWHERE. Also, it lasts forever. Honestly, I'm super pleased. It's a mix of Sauvage, Aventus, and BDC. You can call it a lighter Sauvage....A fresher Aventus....a woodier and less-ambery BDC. Although I have to admit, it's kind of an ambroxan bomb...but I LOVE IT. Surprisingly, I reach for this fragrance more often than I thought I would. Some weeks I would wear this 4 days out of the 7. Mind you, my typical rotation is LV imagination, LV pacific chill, Aventus Cologne, and Sospiro Vibrato. Note: I got this on discount for around $80. If this was the original MSRP of 200 or 300 or 400 or whatever nonsense price Jeremy listed it at, it would be a TERRIBLE purchase (not that the scent is bad, but it would just be poor price-value proposition.)
