John Richmond for Men

it's a fresh-spicy with soft notes of cedar and watermelon. j.r. for men it's a good safe "every" scent. i mean it's good for every situation, every season,every age, every outfit.. the versatility is the strongest value of this fragrance, which lacks in uniqueness. it's a people pleaser, so u cant go wrong with this. if u find for a low price buy it, it is not a masterpiece or an artistic work but it's one of the most versatile fragrances i ever had, so i gave a "love" only for this reason. the rock n roll theme is very forced. performance is good. niente di speciale ma un profumo adatto ad ogni situazione. scent:7 longevity:7,5 sillage:7,5 uniqueness:5,5 bottle:7 versatility:9 compliment factor- 8 my vote:7 in one word: versatility alternative- bleu the chanel edt

Very very very fresh and cool! I love it! I've got a sample of it and I wil buy the full bottle. It last for about 6-7 hours on my skin. It is really unique. Sillage is very good. Overall: 9/10 because of the longevity.

Typical classical fresh-citrusy-shower gel men fragrance, but more versitile and projects longer. Probably a safe blindbuy for most guys who wants something freshy.

It's a nice smell but I've been turned off it by the theme. As soon as the sales lady at Myer (Aussie department store) showed me this bottle I thought "yeah, I'm not that easy to sell to, love". The smell was exactly what I expected. I was already 99% adamant I would never pay for it just from the message given by the bottle "let me be your next number 1, corporate, manly aura of elegance and (ultimately) material possession". I don't buy it. Only decision to make, does it smell any good, since it's already been sprayed on my hand......"mmm yeah I s'pose it's ok" just to be polite. And it is OK but honestly, I visit that store nearly very afternoon, abusing any high-end department store's willigness to let me sample their products, and begrudgingly, yet peacefullyletter leave me to my own assistance ('cause they know there's no chance I'll buy anything full price from a department store) and THIS! THIS IS THE ONE you thought could get in my wallet, or were you trying to insult me? This is why she chose it: It opens with 2 notes of citrus and some musky spice, a bit harsh to begin. It calms into more gentle smells (amber, cedar, ginger, pepper), then ultimately keeps it's elegant manhood thereafter. With that particular pitch in mind, I have also been targeted with the likes of Champion, that new 50 cent one, Azzaro Chrome, Kenneth Cole Black and Ed Hardy's Love'n'Luck and the original EDT, you know the the one with the tiger. I'm not trying to say anything bad about this fragrance, it is a NICE smell, but the theme, with it's lil heart pendant ad 'rock and roll' attitude, makes me turn away, as it's not a high energy, rocknroll smell, it's just elegant. Knock the price down to about $30 for 50ml and I might grab it for work.

Opens with very spicy black pepper, some smooth melon, ginger and hints of florals and wood. Fresh, fruity and spicy from the start. The strong pepper aroma mellows on the drydown and blends with the ginger and melon and always seems to dominate the fragrance. It evolves into a spicier (pepper, ginger), woodier fragrance later in the drydown as the melon becomes almost nonexistant. I don't detect the amber much if at all. Sillage and projection is average, perehaps a few inches projection after wearing it for a few hours. Longevity is fair though I've only worn it for about 4 hours as of this review. Overall, it's a democratic and 'safe' fragrance. Quite average yet versitile, good for spring, summer or fall. Spice is a tad overdone, nothing to get excited about.
