Friction for Him

A very fresh, slightly spicy and ozonic fragrance. The marine note is definitely there and makes this nice and refreshing. I think there is also an "Eternity" note there too. I can't smell any rum whatsoever. The drydown has a nice clean silage and, surprisingly, the marine note is still there - just. Staying power and silage are surprisingly good. The bottle has a nice clean design that matches the juice beautifully. Friction is an inexpensive pleasant scent and a nice surprise for me. Excellent value here and a good summer holiday and beach fragrance. *Update* This has a resemblance to Faconnable Royale.

Best FCUK for men so far. It's crisp and clean and a minimal fruity vibe. It's like a summer cocktail drink. Coconut is the most subtle here, much like a coconut water. It just gives a nice relation to the Friction for her, and it's hard to come across coconut scent in men's fragrance nowaday, so it's nice to see it used. It's genius, ridiculously inexpensive, cool-looking bottle. I only wish the bottle were made of a better quality material tho. Anyway, I would get them both; Him and Her. They both are great addition to my wardrobe no doubt.

Didn't expect much from a $20 fragrance, but I was surprised by how clean and masculine it smells. Definitely a good blind-buy, in my opinion. Reminds me of a fresh men's shower gel, in every good way possible. It's an amazing gym, school, or everyday cheap freshie.

This cologne smells like abercrombie fierce mixed with curve for men and you spilled a malabu mix drink on you shirt... I was not expecting this cologne to smell this good.. I got my 3.4 from ross for 12.99

Very underrated cheapie.Look past the brand and price tag this is a perfect clean and musky scent.Will be rebuying a bottle or two.

Smells exactly like Azzoro Sport 2022 and Liz Claiborne Sport, and a little like Curve

* Refreshing citrus and aromatic cologne with a fresh powdery drydown * Reminds one of Montblanc Legend Spirit (note that this is not a clone of that cologne) * Very affordable * Very good value * Underrated gem * fcuk Friction Night for Him flanker is much better * Weak performance; be prepared to overspray and repeat spray * Better citrus fragrances with stronger performance are available on the market (though you will pay far more for them) fcuk Friction is a nice little surprise, a refreshing citrus forward fragrance that levels down into an aromatic one with a fresh powdery drydown. It's actually a little reminiscent of Montblanc Legend Spirit in that respect. I want to stress that Friction is in no way a clone of that fragrance. Underrated, very good value at a discount price. It's a very pleasant surprise. It has a pretty weak performance, but that is acceptable given the insanely affordable price point. Be prepared to overspray as well as repeat spray throughout the day. At its low price point, you can afford to replenish. There are far better citrus forward colognes on the market that perform better. Issey Miyake L'Eau d'Issey For Men and Montblanc Legend Spirit, for example, do come to mind. However, you will also pay 3 to 5 times the price for them. If you enjoy fresh citrus forward colognes, Friction is one to get unless you already have far better ones in your collection. Interestingly, its own flanker fcuk Friction Night for Him is also much better, as it adds a very nice complementary vanilla note to both the opening and the drydown that really makes both very pleasant. If you had to choose only one of them, I'd actually recommend Friction Night for Him over Friction Night.

After reading many positives comment at fragrantica, i decided to just Fcuk for it lol I am an asian, lived in tropical country and it's sunny right now. The juice: First time I spray Friction I got sweet & fresh citrus scent. But it not last long and become softer and start to smell interesting... CK eternity for men it's there but not precisely the same it has the same freshness but with more marine scent and less fruity. The projection is quite moderate at least for near 2 hours. after 2 hours it become softer on my skin but not on my clothes (2 sprays on my neck near ears, 1 spray on my clothes at the chest part and 1 spray on my left wrist and rub it to the right wrist). I cannot find the black coconut scent, but i catch a subtle brown paper scent. I don't get that sexy vibe kind of thing or maybe it's different from female observation. While i'm typing this it has been 5 hours since i spray friction and it's still there i can smell it. Conclusion: I like it, its not a fragrance that should be priced as it is. When wearing Friction i feel like walking on sunny day with a breeze of fall season' wind. It's not offensive, soft to moderate scent and projection, has a little touch of elegance, also it's cheap for this kind of fragrance... you can wear it for office (20-35 years old), summer holidays, and simple or casual dates. Package: 7/10 (Not too stylish) Scent : 7.5/10 (Nice scent but not a signature type) Projection : 8/10 (For 2 hours) 7/10 (after) Longevity : 7/10 (on skin) 8/10 (on clothes) Overall : 7.5/10 (IMO) Sorry for my bad english :)

This fragrance took a while to grow on me and now that I’ve used it for a year I’ve come to enjoy and like it. It has quite a few interesting notes that ultimately blend well together. It's like wearing a leather jacket while sitting in a coconut bubble bath filled with lavender floating on top and sipping a glass of rum & coke whilst chewing on fruity jelly beans—confusing, contradictory, and oddly alluring. It’s a cheapie, but smells good. Longevity is about 4 hours and silage gets to moderate if it’s over sprayed a bit. An excellent fresh smell perfect for spring or summer and smells great after a shower. A good work fragrance. Masculine for sure and would work well on most age groups. I’m not keen on the cheap bottle design, but most FCUK fragrances have that sort of appearance. The main thing is that the juice inside the bottle is very likeable and will not offend anyone.

Very good for the price, I got this for £10. Really quite musky and clean, smells very fresh. Great for warmer days, day or night. Performance for me was slightly below average (4-5h) and sillage was okay. The scent isn't particularly interesting but it's nice. This won't say much about your personality. At first it smells almost juvenile, it reminds me of deoderant, in a very neutral way, but as time goes on it turns into a more mature musky scent. In a broader sesne, the clean scent, and the tacky, but futuristic bottle design are quite reminiscent of Y2K aesthetics if that is your sort of thing. Overall, if you can get this for £10 - £20 I would 100% recomend you buy it. It's a great underrated scent with alot more depth than one would expect for the pricepoint. While its not particularly interesting, this would be great for days lazy days.

#FirstSniff: I got this today, as a blind buy. It is a fresh fragrance - as in stepped out of the shower fresh - and the spicy and fruity notes come at you in the top note. After a while, the lavender becomes prominent. The coconut and sea note are faint, but there. I can pick up the musk note. I am not getting the rum note... maybe that will change as I use this more often. This is a fragrance I would wear during the day in spring or summer. It is safe to wear it when out doing routine things like at work, gym, school or running an errands, etc. I don't think it is ideal for occasions like dates, evenings out, etc. The scent bubble is okay. The longevity is okay. I also think it is a safe scent for men of all age ranges. I like it, and FCUK Friction is great value for money.

This was bought as a fathers day present and a complete surprise to me as I have not seen or tested this fragrance before. I have been completely blown away by this fragrance given that it cost £13 for 100ml. It is a nice musky fresh scent perfect for warmer weather. I have worn it casually at the weekend and in the office. The only downside to this fragrance is the longitivity and silage which has both been moderate at best. I don't get a whole work day out of this scent usually 4 to 6 hours at best and silage I think it projects at arms length for an hour or so. For the price though this is hardly a complaint as I re apply mid way through the day. The main thing is that it keeps me smelling fresh when the weather is exceptionally warm.

Declutter Project #4: FCUK Friction. Fresh, clean, aquatic unisex scent. Very light and needs generous spraying to create a nice little scent bubble that would be particularly enjoyable in very hot weather, like a cool drink of lemon scented water. The "men's aftershave" note is extremely fleeting, thank goodness. Inoffensive in the good way. I like it. But I am unlikely to wear it except perhaps on very hot days. My wife, however, described it as "gorgeous". She swears it is identical to a CK1 flanker she once loved. Verdict: PASS ON, but really just moving to my wife's side.

I have blind bought a handful of FCUK fragrances which have all been awful. The only reason I took a chance on this one was the positive reviewing here on Fragrantica. I must admit that Friction is good. Summer and sea water spiced with a touch of fruit, coconut and musk. Very clean and fresh, perfect for a warm day, especially for the younger crowd. You could pay twice the money and still get something far inferior to this. For the giveaway online price it's a steal.

This is actually a really good fragrance. A very clean and fresh marine scent perfect for the summer.I can pick up the amber and musk in the dry down, but I don't get any black coconut(whatever that is). For the price it is a decent snag for someone on a budget. It can be bought for around $20 so FCUK it, give it a try.

From the bottle I though that this smelled just like Burberry Men. When sprayed on clothing however it has a bit of a soapy smell to it but that's not a bad thing. I like it and I like the low price. I was expecting this to smell like a tropical beach. It doesn't smell anything like that. Still good for casual wear.

I bought this for my man, as recommended below, and he loves it! It's his favourite right now, even though he is a fan of pricier perfumes. He couldn't believe Friction sells at such a low price. Summer holidays in a bottle! It works for all seasons though.

1st Impression "reminds me with a very retro perfume called TED LAPIDUS" Very Fresh scent , Dry down to better smell, Normal Sillage and Normal Longevity. Prefect for work and casual wearing. Definitely a summer scent

This is a mild one, gym or casual. Very pleasant and most people will like. Nobody will take you seriously with this, save it for weekends or children's parties.

Very light, refreshing, nice scent. Moderate longevity and doesn't project too much. 9/10.
