Wasim Akram 414

I have it and I love it. In cold days it really smells great. Reminds me of boss bottled which was one of my favorite l. It has replaced Boss now.

It's alright, although I must say that it pretty synthetic and quite spicy and woody. Does perform well for a freshie, especially keeping the price tag in mind. It's a bit too woody imo which puts it in somewhat of a mature freshie category. Doesn't really smell that youthful, as it says in the description and does smell kind of old school. If you like woody, spicy, old school freshies, then it's a good everyday scent. Could be offending if you spray too much and cause a headache but otherwise its nice. I would recommend purchasing it if you only prefer J. fragrances or local brands as a Pakistani, (which a lot of people do actually) and you are interested in the scent profile that I mentioned earlier in this paragraph Smell: 7.5/10 for it's category, too basic in my opinion, but does smell masculine and high quality Lasting: 8/10 as a freshie, it lasts a good 6 to 8 hours which makes it well suited for workspace if you go light on the trigger Sillage: 7/10 it does leave a damn long trail but it might cause headaches if you are heavy on the trigger Overall 7.5/10 For the price it does smell high quality but if I were to not blind buy this, I would have got some other freshie like Lattafa's Fakhar Black, which is in the same price range, but very inoffensive, workspace safe scent which performs decent as well and I could pull it off easily too.

Complicated fragrance, just like any expensive perfume but in very reasonable price. The more you use it, the more you like it. Silage and Longevity could've been better but no complains since its a good value.

I like this perfume but I cannot use this everyday. It have strong sillage, good longevity but it is not for over sprayers. Should be used occasionally, I sometimes wear it for Friday prayers.

Unlike Wasim himself, there's nothing too original or different about "414", but it's still a pleasing enough, if standard, modern men's scent. It opens fresh and a bit sweet, a lot like a few of the ones in Dunhill's "Desire" collection, and then it settles into a general woodsy/citrusy musk. The pineapple and apple combo is noticeable up front, tho it's more apple than pineapple, and that initial blast of sweetness is mellowed by freshness of the the bergamot and aquatic note. From there it settles into the lavender and sandalwood combo, but this also doesn't last too long as the musk and ambergris take over and then remain throughout. Overall, it's quite well suited to a young-ish chap who doesn't want to stand out too much, but still smell appealing enough without too much distinction. Perhaps the most appealing offering from J. that would, well, appeal to the masses, while also being the least distinctive.
