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...

This is one of Lomani's best, in my experience, and I like a few others of theirs, including AB Spirt, which I think was an attempt at a Royal Mayfair typ drydown, as well as their Black, which is similar to Creed's Royal Oud. The thing about Ignition is that it is better than any similar scents and still at least fairly unique. There is a tobacco type quality, not entirely cherry tobacco, though, but in that direction, so I see the comparisons to CK Shock, but the two are not very similar. Instead, think of perhaps 40% Altimir by Lapidus and Desire for a Man by Dunhill, 30% cherry tobacco scent (such as Pure Havane) and 30% some unique notes, all working together perfectly and definitely not too synthetic. Yes, it's certainly sweet, but not as singular as Pi, and therefore not as likely to get cloying.

at the opening I smelled a nice mixture of pineapple and cardamom but no lemon or bergamont on my skin then comes the star anise and lavender..star anise is the biggest element in the whole perfume development and after 20 minutes it turns into an imazing scent wich has perfect sweetness and its not all that woody ...on my skin it lasts for 2 hours then starts to come closer to skin but it takes about 5 hours to completliy fade out... I think it would be perfect for spring its not so special can be used for casual everyday use.. its the kind of a perfume that everyone likes ( girls really like it more than men do ) i duno why.. the bottle is nice and pleasent to the eye ..for me its the time to get my second bottle

I think i got a bad bottle. But it's okay, thus far. It's under $13.00, so i gave it a shot. Won't buy another one... And i'm willing to trade. I used seven sprays...both wrist, behind my ears, back & front of my neck and chest.

This is one of my top 5 as well old school with a great smell. My first bottle back in the late 90’s 70 bucks but now I can get it for fewer than 20 bucks; I get a lot of compliments when I wear this scent. It last all day, and 99.9% of the females that smell it love it. It’s great anytime or should I say any season not loud but speaks volume. From Dallas TX

If u like Chanel AHSE , Valentino Uomo , Rochas man , you will like this as well , i get a lot of tobacco here which i believe is from the Teak wood. hard to believe this is a cheapie . for its price you cant go wrong its like pure havane and Uomo had a baby :) actually i just remembered what it really reminds me of .. Mandarina Duck Black

I think this could easily be unisex. Definitely better in cooler weather as it has a very sweet dried fruit vibe. I get lots of vanilla in the dry down and it feels warm and cozy. Great under a sweater with whiffs of jammy goodness rising up. Two sprays is plenty.

Strong and long lasting and very much value for money sort of perfume,though the vanilla/pineapple combine is a bit too sweet and gets cloying especially in tropical climate.Also very linear from start to finish.

I don't have this but I just have to say that as a car guy I think the spark plug electrode atomizer mechanism is AWESOME!!

A nice citrusy scent with a pleasant vanilla in the base. Very good longevity and dirt cheap.

very light and sweet.very similar to CK Shock

Gourmand and sweet, very addictive scent.
