Plush

This is the best cologne I ever found for my husband. Nothing seems to come close to it. It's just a plain sexy fragrance and now it seems to be discontinued. The first time I smelled it I followed the guy to find out what it was! It doesn't smell like the usual limey men's cologne.

This is a very attractive frag, I think it's masculine but leans unisex. It's warm, it's spicy, it's smooth and silky. It's unique.

Nose Note #493 A lot of amber, a lot of mild spices, the orris root is powdering everything up. Very powdery. It have quite a naturalistic almond note that's boozy. This is very interesting and unique, but something about doesn't feel right, like it's been crafted poorly. It does feel a little plasticy and play-doh - that often goes hand in hand with the almonds. I'd say it's definitely a strong perfume. Sillage is average. When you thought-process it it's interesting, but when you wear it - it's not fantastic. Not a crowdpleaser. 5/10, hard to wear

I like this one because the soft pallida root is noticeable, and it mixes well with the lime and amaretto. And the sweet sandalwood rounds this fragrance out really well. This is a refreshing and sweet juice that is not just your common, ordinary citrus sparkle, but is made more demure and sensual by the amaretto, which offers a Wriggley's Juicey Fruit chewing gum note to the lime. This unique juice is very versatile, and can be easily used for every day wear, and also as a light sensual evening wear.

If you like Dior Homme you will likely enjoy this one. It has amaretto at first, and then leather later, rather than DH's fruit then tobacco. After the top notes subside, which doesn't take long, it's mostly a powdery leather with hints of the other notes. It's not as sweet as DH, and really isn't very sweet at all, despite the amber in the base. I also don't detect much in the way of spice, but perhaps there's a touch of cinnamon and/or ginger. And I detect no patchouli. It has no nasty synthetic/chemical qualities and is very well done overall, with good projection/"sillage" and longevity. This is more of a fragrance for cold weather or a night out on the town, however. If you are used to aquatic or fresh fragrances, you should sample first. If you are a leather or powdery iris fragrance fan, this is one to try if you can find it. UPDATE: I rank this one higher than Dior Homme, even if the notes were put aside, meaning if I liked the note combinations equally. The reason is that Plush retains its dynamism for hours, whereas I find Dior Homme boring after a few hours, due to how the base seems to be the only thing going on at that point. If you like the idea of powdery tobacco with oakmoss, try Deauville Pour Homme.

Note: there is a FUBU Heritage for Men, which is nothing like this. Instead, it's a mild citrus, sweet, and woody scent; over time, a"steam" type aromachemical (as in Mugler Cologne) comes forward. And that's all I get. I guess it would make a good "wedding fragrance."

Too bad Plush is discontinued. Lucky me I found a vintage bottle here in Houston. I’ve been searching for years. Definitely a compliment getter.
