Ignition

As the name suggests, Ignition by Lomani is a very intense cologne. There is a citrus-cardamom opening burst that is immediately joined by a strong dry anise note. The citrus doesn't last long and I don't get much pineapple, but it is sweetened by an intense vanilla, amber, and patchouli base. It's a fairly linear scent after the opening. The florals of the heart only accompany the anise and base, and the anise stays fairly dominant throughout. It starts to lose it's dryness over a few hours by continuing to sweeten. The sillage is very good and the longevity is average. After 4 hours it stays close but somehow it is still intense when sniffed up close. If I wear it during the day and apply a different scent in the evening, the Ignition base would come though again, joining in with the new one. I have to wash it off before using anything else. Very nice in moderation, cloying if too much is used or if mixed. The sprayer on the bottle is like an Ignition button. It has a gold safety-latch cover on a hinge that you push to the side to access the spray button. Edit: I've been wearing this in the cooler Fall weather and I am getting more Pineapple now. It smells like dried pineapple pieces, sweet from it's own concentrated juices not from sugar or syrup.

The pineapple/vanilla opening is gorgeous. Too bad the pineapple is gone after the 1st hour or so as the amber and patchouli introduce themselves. A very loud opening becomes tamed after 2 hours or so. After 4 hours it's a skin scent but it's 15 bucks so I won't complain. A nice scent to introduce someone to vanilla whether it be male or female. I have 2 bottles of it.

woody, nice, clean, sharp, and always remembering ...

Its ok nothing special quite generic and a bit cheap smelling. The combination of pineapple and vanilla makes this very sweet with a little bit of woodsy generic aftershave background. In my opinion too sweet for a guy. The sweetness is more girly like and not even woman like. So not again for me as a grown up woman. 😊

I came to this scent upon hearing it was a budget Givenchy Pi. Now I can't speak for what Givenchy Pi smells like, but if Ignition is fairly close I can safely say I'm not too interested in the Pi. It's not that ignition is bad, it just smells very generic to me. Good, but generic. Really all I get is just a sweet woodsy, spicy scent. Vanilla is present, but not prominent like I thought it would be. It's very meh. Even the present notes aren't all that distinctive. Not to mention, Ignition lacks projection to my nose. I certainly wouldn't throw it away, but I wouldn't recommend it...
