The Original

I am in love with Gap the Originals. It is a bit sweet and "smokey" at the same time, all the way from the first notes to the end. I thought the leather would made the frag strong, but I smell just little of it. The tabacco is more pronounced (to me) but is is so in tune with the sweetnes that my nose picks up a bit of the fruit and then a bit of the smokey aroma. I am glad some of the online stores here in Brasil are selling Gap fragrancies at a good price. I am ordering others from the company to try on.

This is my second voice on the marvelous GAP: I was astonished to read that some of the reviewers detect dill in it! I would never think of this, but I went and checked again - now I must admit this is not dill, but close to it. If you take dill and cover it with massive ammount of sugar syroup, well then maybe... But! Dill is a herb that is used in cuisine to flavor food, never sweet dishes, though - at least in the traditional cuisine(I enjoy fresh dill weed with potatoes and fish, for instance). But since THE ORIGINAL is really sweet, it does not make much sense to me.Instead, except for distinctive sweet plum and cedar I would classify this sugary aroma (that some of you attribute to dill) as having something in common with coco and pineapple mix, like in pina colada maybe:) Lovely sillage, great longevity, beautiful,uplifting & comforting scent and inexpensive at that. What more could I want?

My first impression of this scent was: "God, it is very powerful!" And this impression continues up to now. This cologne is strong and has the power to invade any environment. The Original is dry and sweet at the same time: an aromatic bomb made by leather and plum, with a touch of cedar. For those who enjoy a strong fragrance, which is woody and with a full-bodied and sweet base, this cologne is an excellent choice. And don't be fooled by the popular history of the brand, because all the colognes of the "The Individuals" are excellent and have projection and lasting over many others that cost twice as much or more.

As a leather scent fan, I just had to get it. It was a blind purchase for me, and a successful one, although I must admit I do not detect the leather in it. However, the fragrance is just wonderful for me, the cedar and plum notes work fantastic together. It is powerful and uplifting, I do not know any similar perfume and am happy to have it. The EDT is impressively long lasting and suitable for both office and leisure time all year round except for extremely hot days. In general, it is a well balanced composition. Thumbs up!

This perfume is amazing! It is the love child of Jimmy Choo for Women & Burberry The Beat for Women. Literally! The Original is the perfect blend of both those treasures. It is truly original. A unisex floral and creamy fresh smell that stands on a vanilla, & light leather base. This will smell good on a guy or a girl in my opinion. Very inexpensive. I say it will make the perfect pick me up fragrance. A must have. Looking forward to try the others from this particular line .
