Paul Smith Man

My experience is very similar to yilmazg, so I would encourage you to read his review below. I will add that this fragrance smells similar to those (Fahrenheit Abs. & Dior Hmm) and other recent masculine florals since 2008, but this is more masculine than most. There is a dry woodiness, no doubt it is the incense, that makes this scent decidedly masculine but the powdery florals gives it a modern feel. I think this is extremely versatile as I'm wearing it today on a day when it is 90+ degrees outside and I don't feel out of place. I'm sure it would be even more well-suited for a romantic evening in a cool, dark room (this is just the residue of bad marketing...lol). It lasts very well - 8hrs or more on only a few sprays - and the smell is very nice and noticeable. My GF responded immediately and favorably to a few spritzes from the sample vial. I think I found my new evening signature...

I had a bottle of this given to me by staff from the Paul Smith shop in Nottingham circa 2012, when i worked next door fixing hand made shoes.. obviously i used the entire bottle. I remember it being very sweet, powdery and woody. Then i never saw it again, now it's a collectors item. I have just purchased a new unused bottle from ebay so i'm looking forward to sampling some more... 3 Months later.. Is it how i remember it?? i don't know.. has it gone off or expired? i don't know! I do get memories of 2012 flood back into my thoughts. It's just as powdery and dry as i remember it plus it's just as sweet. to be honest it smells like brand new men's Paul Smith shirts from the Paul Smith shop, and the shop itself i think, possibly even got the wooden floorboards and stairs in there as well.. It is a beautiful fragrance and I'm glad i managed to get some again

Great fragrance, I love it. I wouldn't be surprised if it's used as someone's signature scent. I will also say that this can be regarded as a close relative of the mighty Dior Homme, like a younger, not so loud brother that never got as much love as he should have. I feel this is more wearable than Dior Homme (even though I love DH and DHI). Longevity and sillage is okay providing you don't use A*Men as the yardstick (where many would then just look outclassed). For the price, this is amazing, I would easily say if you like floral fragrances (Like Dior Homme, Dior Homme Intense, Le Male, Fleur Du Male, etc...) this is one of the best bottles for your ££ or $$ or whatever you use!

Very masculine Iris scent with incense playing the second major role. This is somewhere between Dior Homme and Fahrenheit Absolute, closer to Absolute. Indeed to my nose this is nearly identical to Fahrenheit absolute. The difference is Absolute gets dryer PS man is more floral and watery. I prefer PS Man. Incense, violet and Iris make a very nice combination. Sillage is good, longevity very good. The powdery drydown is amazing. After 8 hours I can stil detect the iris note mixed with another note like chocolate. This is one of the best releases of 2009 and one of the best men's florals out there. I like Paul Smith Man a lot. 9/10

a great alternative for Dior Homme or Midnight in Paris - unfortunately not in production anymore - nowadays you can buy the last copies of this perfume sometimes a bit too expensive then I would be better to buy Midnight in Paris where there are still plenty of copies available or Zara 9.0 which is an even cheaper alternative but maybe with poorer longetivity
