Yacht Man Red

All the previous comments are talking obviously and sadly about the reformulated version. When this fragrance came out in 2007 it was very unique! It had a heavy silage and lasted ages. It opened with a fruity rose note and cotton candy, and then all these peppery and gingery spices appeared blended with a beautiful long lasting amber, red musk and cedarwood. The earliest commenter in this thread might have had the first batch experience. It was a gem for a very good price. The new synthetic reformulation is nothing like the original and is definitely similar to Dunhill Desire for a Man.

I Truly Love This Cologne Its One Of My Signatures. My Best Friends Know When Im Around Because Of The Scent It Leaves. I Get Compliments All The Time. A Must Have!

I love this perfume. Its great, really great. Lasting is though not too long but its enough. Always have this one in my collection.

use it properly for what it is (an eau de toilette) and you will smell it yourself for about 8 hours. Use it wrongly and you wou will smell it for 30 minutes! I love this fragrance & bottle as much as I love Dunhill's Desire. Both being pretty close, even the bottle is clearly inspired by Desire. Very nice bottle though. Not so massive as Desire's but masculine and bright red. As attractive as the fragrance itself. Spray it on your clothes & true your collar (I usually do about 10 sprays) on both shoulders, sleeves, chest. This fragrance needs about 3 hours to devellop & reveal itself. The start does have a little something citric which will soon disappear & become a nice soft, spicy, sweet scent. Nothing sweet like real oriental fragrances but a sweet, spicy something that is very nice & regulary teasing my nose since this morning. Nice & discreet towards other people I cross which is lovely. Definitily a good buy & fragrance I will keep on using instead of Dunhill's. It does not have nothing cheap at all though it somehow is.

"Ok for the price". I paid €3,60 for 100ml. Just tossed it in the cart to see how it really is, because it was on sale for such ridiculous price. Never wanted or really considered buying this before. The scent itself isn't bad, it is actually ok, kinda fresh. But as people point out, performance is bad. You need to spray heavily. That's fine, since this one costs next to nothing. At stupidly low price, under €5, why not just try it. But definitely not worth seeking out and wasting your time. Most likely I wont be wearing this at all, or just after shower and at home when I'm going to do some work at the yard - when I dont want to use anything more expensive or better wearables.

i wouldnt recommend this to anyone.. performance is weak projection is also weak but for some odd reason i love this scent so i am actually really happy with the scent... i use as an at home cologne just to spray around the house or on my clothes or even as an air freshener

I got myself a bottle back in 2009 and it worked really nicely in winter time. Warm, spicy and used to last all day long. Can't say anything about new batch now but the older one was definitely a great one.

Yacht Man Red is enjoyable but absolutely not a man's fragrance. Opens as sweet cinnamon candy and dries down into grapefruit soap. It's synthetic and 'cutesy.'

Yacht Man Red is CANDIED/SYRUPY/FRUITY-SWEET FRESH-SPICY (smells like Cheerwine soda) heavily synthetic frag but the scent composition does smell good (and cheap, but good none the less), starts off candied/syrupy fruity-sweet with mild fresh-spiciness from the black pepper & musk, does have a dank meant to be "earthy" note/accord in the background (has a burnt rubber like smell), the composition even has a booziness to it (possibly from all the alcohol used in its production) like a cheap sweet red-wine, better yet smells exactly like the Cheerwine (cherry-wine) soda; get's fresher, hot-spicier, and stays sweet when it drys down; decent for the price, good inexpensive and/or starter fragrance that's youthful, playful/casual, for cool/cold, day, night, Fall/Winter/Spring time. Projection/Sillage' is GOOD, due to synthetic & sweetness, good scent bubble up to 4-5ft w/ scent trail for 1st hour, the get's in-close. Performance/Longevity is POOR, 3-4 hours

I bought this for $10.15 at my Local TJ Max's for my son who was along. He really likes it which all that matters. I am not going to rate this one due to me only wearing it two times. It's okay to me, doesn't seem to last very long. 2-3 hours for me but my son says 4-5 for him. Price is great for a gift for someone who is just getting into the fragrance world. 👌🏼

It smells like lemon air freshener. Perhaps a very close dupe of the Denim Original Aftershave. But aftershave smell nonetheless. If you like Denim aftershave, you’ll love this.

Yacht Man Red is a meal of day old stale donuts. These Yacht Man Scents are budget scents and you can get them at Amazon or other discounters in the $6 range. Usually they come with add on pricing and are decent choices if you need to push a purchase into the free shipping range. There are 9 fragrances with similar bottle configurations to Yacht Man Red and I have never seen 2 of them for sale and I do own the other findable 6 from the line. Red is a scent that has declined in my esteem over the years. It used to be my favorite from the line and now I like it less than the other 6. It has an oriental spicy feel to it and I do not own many fragrances of similar ilk so it still garners pulls. These days the opening has a plastic smell to it that I really dislike and it may be that the juice got old and did not respond well to age. Once it calms down, I still enjoy the mid and honestly there isnt much of a base or dry down to experience. Performance wise this one is disappointing. I expect budget to last 4 hours though I often secretly hope for 6 and to reach celebrity fragrance expectations. I would say Red gives me about 3 with a sharp decline to skin scent that would limp to 4. I usually go a few extra sprays to get those 4 hours and sometimes I do a booster spray at the 2 hour mark. I own 7 fragrances from this line and as such only use Red in Fall and Winter. Its light enough for spring and summer use if you so choose. Usage wise, I have owned this fragrance for 4 years. I wore it quite a bit the first year and have pulled it maybe 5 times this last season. The bottle is at 60% and I am starting to explore other uses for the product. I do not plan on purchasing a backup bottle of it even at giveaway pricing. Overall, I am going to grade this one at 60 or D-. It gets good marks for value with markdowns for scent and performance. I am honestly glad of purchase of this fragrance but do not consider it to exceed the value of its price. I still wear Yacht Man a few times a year as a fragrance. But its going to end up filling daily decants to finish off the fragrance. I still like the mid but 30 minutes of plastic opening and a short 3 hour fragrance life limits the sweet spot of the fragrance to a couple of hours. I usually carry a daily decant with me with a bit of fragrance in it. I usually prefer 4711 but I like some variety and I will sometimes use other fragrances as well. Sometimes, a fragrance will die when I am out and I will use the decant as a booster spray for a bit of scent late in the day to carry me until I get home. Sometimes I see a toilet seat that I do not trust and a bit of alcohol makes me feel better about the throne. I've used these things as room sprays and car fresheners. Honestly, I get a couple of bottles of pooh-pourri each year for Christmas. Pooh-Pourri costs $15 for a 4 ounce bottle and is a nice product. Just for kicks, I tried Yacht Man Red as a toilet freshener and it did just about as good of a job as the best selling product. The bottle is glass with a red tint and when the fragrance gets low I plan on using it as a windowsill decoration with light streaming through the red glass and giving the room a nice warm red glow. As cheap as this product was, I got value from the purchase and am happy with it but not so much that I want to buy another. After a couple of years, the scent turned towards plastic and I find it disappointing. Sometimes its just as cheap to buy a dozen donuts as what you really want. And I do not know why they do it but sometimes the donut guys give you an extra one for free. Yacht Man Red is like that extra free donut. You look at that box the day after and you know those things are a bit stale but golly gee ... they are still donuts.

This cologne is an obvious imitation of Dunhill Desire, but without the longetivity or sillage... last about 5 seconds and can only be smelled by you, no matter how much you spray. Smells pretty good if you take a quick whiff but if you smell very closely, all you can smell is just fragrant rubbing alcohol. There is no such thing as dry down with this cologne, because once it dries, its gone. Seriously. I'm glad im only out 10 bucks, if i paid more i would've been even more dissapointed. Will not buy again.

Can "candy" be listed as a note? The note breakdown here is way to simply, grapefruit is not giving this cologne its super sweet character. I don't care for super sweet scents but for those that like them this will do you well. It is a nice smelling fragrance. The low cost and weak performance suggest this be used for boys, teens, and those new to the fragrance scene as an introduction tool. For what this is it is not bad.

A cheap blind buy and I don't like it. It smells identical to an air freshener I had a couple of years ago. Also pretty much the same performance. The bottle will tell you a lot about the quality, it looks like a toy that breaks the first time you play with it. I am not too bothered by it since a 100ml costed me about 10 euros but boy this is just bad!

Yes, it's similar to Dunhill Desire and the price makes it look like a bargain. It's not. This has the worst projection and longevity I've encountered so far. Spray all you want and it just evaporates. An open can of fruit cocktail has better projection than this.

I don't know how I enjoyed it the first time I bought it, cause I was somehow spraying it 24/7. Hurts the nostrils with synthetics.

god i hate this thing. my dad sprays it on like its the best thing ever. Its just synthetic scents that bombard your nostrils i hate this

A nice juvenile, casual, zesty, citrusly, woody, musky fragrance that was well blended. Nothing really groundbreaking about this fragrance. This is not an attention grabber, a crowd pleaser, or panty dropper. This is a boring fragrance that is not offensive & won't get you noticed really. The longevity with this is very weak & become a skin scent pretty fast. I usually layer this with grapefruit or black seed essential oil to get the longevity that I truly desire without having to keep overspraying myself to leave that scent trail I like doing. I would only reach for this. 1)Sitting around house. 2)Outdoor activities. 3)Job/Office. 4)Running a few errands. 5)Gym. 6)Hanging with the fellas. 7)Daytime. 8)Spring/Summer. 9)Dressing casual or sporty. I wouldn't necessarily reach for this. 1)1st impressions. 2)Trying to get noticed. 3)Clubbing/Partying atmosphere. 4)Attending a formal event. 5)Dressing down or sophisticated. 6)Hanging with women. 7)Fall/Winter. 8)Evenings/Nights.
