The Man Cobalt

Everyone will say you're wearing Dior's Fahrenheit. It is a fantastic smell but there is a difference though. Milton Loyd's version comes as a more concentreded version & it will start leading it own life 12 hours after you sprayed it. It will still smell like Fahrenheit & everyone will tell you that is what you wear but you will smell the other softer notes coming out bit by bit. This Cobalt is simply amazing. I can still smell it on my jumper 2 days later. Something that does not happen with Dior's version. Should Fahrenheit & this Cobalt be skipped because it came out in the 90's and because too many bad new fragrances have come out since then? I do not think so but go ahead and pay a £50 if you want a brand new fragrance that is not this good.

I've compared this to my 2003 and 2015 bottle of original Fahrenheit and I must say that this smell rather closest to the 2015 formulation! I sprayed the Cobalt to my left hand and the 2015 Fahrenheit on the right, and the opening is 99% the same very powerful, but after 15 minutes you can notice that the original smell little bit more intense and projects slightly better. After two hours both are gone from my skin! But the biggest plus for Milton Lloyd is that after the two hours you can apply it again and again as often you want, because it cost only 5€! So if you are on a budget, or you just love this scent so much (like me) and you don't want to spend your original bottle for more often use, this is definitely for you!

Roboflowers. The colouration for me a bright amethyst and emerald gears crashing into one another and grinding into a bright silver that calms down and tarnishes into a dirty musk. But definitely roboflowers and immature cucumbots made from gems and leather, emitting some ozonic gas, and fuelled by petrol. A real aesthetisation of a machine shop. Milton Lloyd are kind enough to even add some genuine hydrocarbons in the propellant to really boost the accord and for once this off note makes a welcome contribution. Should be in the pyramid, even. Like Angel, I am amazed and glad that people bought this in the 80s and so strange a fragrance became dupeworthy by Milton Lloyd. Similar principle too, sublime and gritty together.

I must agree, it's a so good/close dupe of Fahrenheit, the actual formulation. Very, very good performances for the price. The opening is strong, but the progress is smooth and long lasting, releasing gradually the aroma. For fans of this smell, try La Rive Hitfire which is closer to vintage Fahrenheit, but having less strong performances, unfortunately... I own 4 ML (Kudos - not in database, Bondage Homme, Pure Gold and this) and all are G R E A T! Kudos (Terre d'Hermes reloaded) is by far the best performer, but all have big longevity and projection. Smell 8.5/10 Longevity 7/10 Projection 6/10 Price 10/10

I only bought this because I made a joke about wanting to smell like WD40 being used in a wooden garage of someone restoring a 1970s Ford Cortina...... someone said to get Fahrenheit, but it's way too expensive for me...... so this dupe popped up and at £8 delivered, why not! This sounds weird, but to me the first few seconds it smells like fart spray! But dies down within a few minutes to a more leathery, rubber, oil smell..... which dies down further to an almost sweet smell? It's awesome! Going to try mixing it with one of my woody smellies, I think they'll mix really well.
