Hollywood for Men

I like this. I bought it because of the reviews others have left. As someone posted in a prior comment, I also have no idea as to what notes I'm detecting in this. It does have a somewhat synthetic smell to me. And I say there's not one thing necessarily wrong with that. Many have pointed out that this fragrance is unique, which it certainly is. Let's see...it's unique, I like it, and it's insanely inexpensive. I'm going to call this a win. I have a feeling it will grow on me even more. Regarding the bottle, it's cute. The sort of thing you'd find in a kitschy souvenir shop. The cap is shaped like a star. And it says "Hollywood" at the base of the bottle. Somehow I can't help thinking of the Village People singing, "Everybody is a Star in Hollywood". And this makes me smile.

Drug store cheap fragrance that takes me back to my childhood. Imagine walking into a dark shop, incense burning, and the song Us and Them by Pink Floyd is playing in the background. The friendly older man behind the counter is rolling a cigarette with Job cigarette paper. Black light posters on the wall surround the premises. The air conditioner is a wall air conditioner, and there is a woman in the back of the store making popcorn with one of those old popcorn makers. Add the lavender and orange and you have Fred Hayman Hollywood for Men. You have nothing to prove. Be your 1970's self. I love this fragrance. The magic is in the drydown. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The most unique scent I've ever smelled. Not a bad sort of unique, but a good type of unique. Floral, spicy, a bit fruity sweet, and a touch of leather. Even though there are florals and sweets contained within this strange concoction, it is not feminine smelling fragrance. I'm 10-12 years older than I was when I once wore this, but after seeing it on ebay for less then $11, including shipping, I just couldn't resist. Sure, it's not my favorite scent of all time, but it's up there in the top 10, surely. It is certainly the most unique scent I've ever owned!

I don't understand how someone could not like this. It's a fun, fresh, young scent. I get a fresh spiced apple, rosemary, rain, pine vibe from it. I think the problem is people expect way too much from it. If it's not Calvin Klein or Versace don't expect it to compare.

I love it. Nostalgic, will always LOVE.
