Izod

Izod By Van Heusen is one of the most amazing fragrances I have ever smelled. It has great sillage and projection for a very affordable price. I am thankful I stumbled upon this amazing fragrance while doing some research on another fragrance (Marc Ecko By Marc Ecko) to which I also really enjoy. Although discontinued this fragrance is still pretty affordable if you can find it at discounters or online shopping around the Internet (ebay, Amazon, fragrancenet etc). Now to get to the details, if you are someone that enjoys a nice clean fresh fragrance and looking to buy something different from all of the common and current fragrances, then this is an amazing option. I am a big fan of lime, cucumber, mint, and tangerine notes, all of which are in this fragrance so I took that into consideration when I decided to make this a blind buy and I definitely do not regret my decision. This is an EDT concentration so you will get roughly 4 to 6 hours with this before it becomes a skin scent. This fragrance honestly almost slipped past my nose in the opening because I do enjoy it and it was definitely going to remain in my collection but I must say the middle Notes is where this strives for me and considering all the notes I mentioned before are all in the top notes, this is an amazing fragrance through and through. While working one day I had this on and I could hear people saying “wow someone smells good” after I had walked down the hall, so it is definitely a crowd pleaser and easy to wear in any circumstance. I have to also mention that this fragrance gave me nostalgia from my earliest years. This may sound ridiculous but I remember as a child roughly 3 years old my parents had bought me and my brother this ninja turtles bath soap that even to this day I can still reminisce on the smell, and I must say the middle note is where I smell the similarities of the soap. I know that sounds weird almost as if it’s childish but that is definitely not the vibe you get, I guess if I’m being unbiased, you can say it is youthful. But in my honest opinion anyone any age can wear this because it is almost unisex and if I had to throw out some numbers I would say 75%-60% male to 25%-40% female. To wrap up my review I would say that this is a great Fresh Soapy out of the shower fragrance good for every man and his every day activities. On your way to work, at the gym, going out for drinks with friends, spending time with a loved one, spray this one on and you’re getting some attention. Scent: 9/10 Performance: 7/10 Price:9/10

I almost did not buy this! I thought: not another "fashion" scent...and blue and fresh? But after spraying the tester, I put this little baby right in my cart! One of the very best casual manscents out there and it is so much more than the bottle or name implies... This does start out fresh, in a juicy citrus type of way (lime, grapefruit and tangerine, duh!?); but it's smooth and sweet, not sharp and 'bright'. The cucumber adds a wateriness and the mint adds a very cool green tinge. It does remind one of sea and sky with a cool, clean breeze. The heart is a wonderful aromatic blend of fresh lavender and juniper's green vapory aroma, softened by the cyclamen (persian violet). Quite manly and elegant. The drydown is superb: saffron's unique scent with a smoky incense note and dry tobacco!! All man and very sexy with a slight mysteriousness, yet it feels clean, and not too heavy or musky. This is perfect for kicking back and having a few with friends or even wearing to work/school. No one yet has complained about this scent, and I wear it quite often. IZOD is a definite keeper! Sillage: good Longevity: impressive Overall: 4.25/5 The moral of the story: Never judge a "juice" by its flacon!! This is a great scent and so very cheap, I will be buying this one again...

I agree with Ray...I have all three bottles of Izod...the one pictured here is a super fresh..super ozonic...cucumber lime..etc.etc..it starts fresh and youthful..dries down to a manly classy super long longevity scent...I have the crappy chinese bottle with the the metal bar on the front that just says Izod...but it's more aptly named Izod Legacy...it's a reinterpretation of the original...but made more synthetic...harsher, more chemical...and lasts as long as a sneeze. the newer one in with the blue wraparound is much different..nice...more modern and blue without the classy drydown..different notes as well. starts with mandarin, aldehydes and lemon zest. The heart is more aquatic and aromatic with heavy lavandin and pine. Dries into cedar, musk, and Oakmoss. I really miss the tobacco and saffron..incense too that gave this that push. I want the original back..but...it is what it is

I got the newer bottle, 2021. It opens on my skin with a heavy dose of grapefruit with a hint of other citrus, but the grapefruit for me so dominate. As it dries down it becomes a little sweeter scent and reminds me of the original CK Escape, not so much the opening but the dry down. It ends up a fresh clean scent with a hint of tobacco. This is a pretty versatile Cologne probably best in warm weather or inside. Very office friendly and can be used intimately as it is not a strong projector. Don’t get me wrong though it has a modest projection and last 4 to 6 hours depending on no. Of sprays I use about 8 sprays and get 6+ hours on skin.

It is very nice and fresh. The scent is pleasant and for once a fragrance that does not smell strongly of lemon like most citrus fragrances. On initial application the Lime, Grapefruit and the Mint is apparent - mixed with the water/aquatic smell of Cucumber which is nice and cooling. I have had quite a few compliments @ work about IZOD and i'm really glad i made this purchase. 7.5/10

Sometimes i wonder why they make colognes with the top,and mid notes. This has a very fruity start, It dives right into the saffron, tabacco, and incense. It's a wonderful combination that i can still smell on my skin from this morn. Wore this one on a cold day. As soon as into work it was nothing but compliments.

i don't know but it really smells nice even though it's cheap..i received a small bottle of this as a gift and now it's almost empty, too bad i can't find any here in my country..love this scent, it doesn't smell cheap...perfect for my age cause im only 17.. 9/10.. planning on getting another one..

I'll say it's a wow. I get lots of compliments wearing this (Men or women) it is a fresh fragrance that will make you feel you just got out of shower. The only thing is this scent is boring when you wear it during the night.

Excellent sweet, fruity and musky dry down is where it shines. Disappointed it’s been discontinued.

I have two sealed bottles . 3.4 oz .one for swap

Ok, Izod is unusual. Starts out with a strong cucumber. There is an off putting note that reminds me of some kind of fruit salad that's turned. But, this gradually dissipates. What's left is the grapefruit, lime, citrus and incense with a very light tobacco, very lightly. I got around 4-5 hours with this fragrance. I became anisomic to it after 20inutes or so. But, the best part; I had someone walk past me and said "you smell good." What a compliment!!! I sprayed six times. So, yes, you'll pull compliments with this one. Mine is a newer 2020-2021 square bottle with the long metal stripe in the middle that has IZOD towards the top. I also have the original bottle shown above on this web page and I can tell you that it's livelier, juicier and much more potent, but it only lasts maybe 5 hours also. Still, both are good, but the original is far better IMHO.

Perfect "bang for the buck" fresh scent for the office. The scent will probably not offend anyone or break the wallet making it great for everyday use. It has a very clean smell like freshly cut cucumber with a touch of lemon and it doesn't overpower. Spray on neck and chest, then a close spray on a single wrist and dab both wrists together to spread and you should be good to go. Put this in your workweek rotation of colognes. Be careful removing the cover on the bottle. There is a couple of lips on the inside cover that will catch on the square spray cap and pop it off sending it flying into the sink. If you don't have a stopper it will go into the drain. If the cap pops off, just pop it back on. No big deal. Leaving the bottle cover off is a good move though.

The first time I tried this in person, I could have sworn that it was better and more interesting. This time, as the initial alcohol goes away, I'm getting a sharp but not terribly strong orange. This component is fine, but along with it comes a super-sweet tropical fruit note (papaya with possible cherry?) which again isn't that strong but is so assertively cloying that it really stands out unpleasantly. On top of that, a terrible chemical note rears its head, like the hair salon / nail polish theme of Lanvin Vetyver or Insense Ultramarine. As it dries down, the orange is completely lost and mostly only cherry and hair-spray remains. What a disappointing offering. Not quite a thumbs-down because the base is nicer from farther away.

Such a great cologne to have in your circulation. Very simple and not strong at all. I love the blend of citruses in this. It has a very cool-relaxed feel to it, like what kay_li13 said, it reminds me of cool water for women but for men lol. It's perfect to wear when your just out and about hanging with the friends. The longevity is great as well. I've been wearing it for more than 5 hours now and i can still clearly smell it on my skin without having to put my wrist up to my nose. For this to be Izod's first cologne, I'm exited to see what they come out with next.

Overwhelmingly citrus-dominated. A longer lasting and much cheaper version of Clinique Happy for men. Don't know how but Izod has somehow managed to keep the citruses distinct: lime, tangerine and grapefruit are detectable by their own quality. Has an almost medicinal feel to it which by no means is unpleasant. Somewhere, the lavender gives this a powdery note. Would grab this and spray it for any casual outing. A cheapie but a goodie.

This is one of the nice surprises. It starts out super fresh and citrus with mint and citrusy fruits but the cucumber sets it apart and makes the scent a bit watery/aquatic. It's sweet but not syrupy. Quickly it dries down to a light spiced woody scent. Surprisingly, the base reminds me of Versace Eau Fraiche with the saffron and wood. I love them both, but Izod is just so much more affordable.

Some people say this reminds them of Versace Eau Fraiche, and I slightly agree. But something about this fragrance is less... predicatable than Eau Fraiche. It's deeper and (although I love Versace Eau Fraiche) slightly more interesting. It's kind of a mossy note that; added with the aquatics and fruits, creates a fantastic scent for a man.

I didnt really think much of this fragrance when I first sprayed it. But after I wore it few times, I really like it. The overload of citrus and mint with the cucumber forward is very nice! Super fresh. For a summertime fragrance this does the job! The heat keeps it going and going. Find a very hot day and overspray the heck out of it!

I like that. Fresh smell and very good for the price. It smells sophisticated and modern, very nice feel to it. The Longevity is good and satisfactory projection. In evidence I feel that there are notes of ginger in it, but is not listed. It is worthwhile to use it. I classify this: Smell: 8.7/10 Projection: 8/10 Longevity: 8.5/10

This is a suprisingly great fragrance in my opinion. I wasn't sure what to expect from it but I picked up a little .5 oz bottle at tj maxx for $5 and I was very impressed. It's a summer powerhouse for sure. Very fruity on opening, then turns into spicy/fruity/aquatic. It's lovely and cheap and lasts a decent while.
