Hypnôse Homme Eau Fraiche

This is the best thing for warm months that I have ever smelled on a man! - I am referring to the EDT version which is not separately listed here. I gave a 100 ml bottle to my DH hoping that he will wear it at least on some days out of obligation... :-) I hate fresh cucumbers as a food item, but in a perfume, with a dash of a white floral sweetener - nothing, and I am prepared to repeat myself many times! - NOTHING creates freshness and quenches thirst better that a good old cucumber!! I am not a fan of a woman's version, but Hypnose for men ticks all my boxes! A lush green cucumber with a touch of vetiver (another love of mine) and a wee bit of mint on top- what a perfect marriage they make here! Out of 10 I give it 20.

First I bought this one as a gift to a friend! Then, I decided to keep it to myself! Call me selfish or selfcentered, but this scent captivated me so much that I couldn't let it go! However, I never bought one again because _ I don't know if my likings have changed _ it smelles a lot different nowadays. A smell that I don't like very much! I don't really know why but it does not appeal to me anymore as it did back in 2008! (Maybe I need to buy it as a gift to see why!!)

This was a blind buy for me. I am not disappointed at all! This is definitely a fresh take on the regular Hypnose Homme. Not fresh in a citrus way though, but it is quite refreshing. It has the DNA of Hypnose Homme, but much lighter. I love the lavender in this, and it has a powdery feel, and a slight sweetness. Not your average summer cologne that is full of citrus notes. This is worth seeking out!

Very fresh, almost sweet summer fragrance. Light talc scent on dry-down, but that only serves to enforce the fragrance in terms of longevity. The only down-side is the projection and sillage - probably best to buy the larger sizes as you'll be re-applying half way through the day if you want to get the most out of it.

Picked this one up at a Marshalls I think. Well it turned out be very smooth and way above my expectations. It had a unique citrus amber kinda like eating a lemon doughnut while wearing a fine amber fragrance. I miss it.
