Press To Play Hollywood

I think they’ve recently rebranded the box, but thankfully the fragrance inside remains intact — and it’s honestly impressive. Right from the start, it reminds me a lot of Armani Code. That same smooth, elegant darkness is here, with a vibe that also leans toward Perry Ellis Black — rich, slightly mysterious, but very wearable. One of the most interesting aspects is this minty freshness that comes through early on. I suspect it might actually be the thyme blending with the jasmine. The thyme gives it a slightly herbal edge, while the jasmine — which comes off a bit synthetic — adds a soft green nuance that contributes to that cooling sensation. It’s not an overpowering mint, but it gives just enough lift to make the darker notes feel more alive. The base is where this scent really shines for me. There’s a beautiful woody, almost resinous character — like inhaling deeply next to a fresh-cut slab of cedar. It has that dry, elegant woodiness that feels far more expensive than the price tag suggests. The lavender throughout keeps everything smooth and mellow, giving it a relaxing and refined quality that makes this easy to wear both casually or dressed up. For the price, Playboy Hollywood punches way above its weight. If you enjoy Code-style fragrances but want something a bit different with a fresh, slightly herbal twist — this is a hidden gem.

So I wanted to re-review this fragrance because I've really grown to love and understand this fragrance ! The opening to this admittedly is pretty synthetic and screechy as it opens up smelling like a very bad interpretation of Dolce and gabbana The One. However, as this dries down you get a beautiful blend of vanilla,lavender,light florals and citrus making this smell very delicious and fresh. To my nose once this dries down it smells like a mix between D& G The One and Armani Code. This really is a gorgeous fragrance and smells a lot more expensive then it really is ! Performance on this is above average. It lasts 6-8 hours and doesn't project very well but leaves a good scent trail and anyone in your vicinity will smell this. Biggest PRO to this fragrance is compliments and in fact it's surprised me with how well this has been received. Women LOVE this stuff and I've been told numerous times this has a sexy smell. In fact as far as women go I'd say this has cracked my top 3 most complimented list ! Overall rating -7.5 out of 10 ! Great smell for a great price !!! If you like fragrances like Armani code,D & G The One, John Varvatos and Bath and body works Noir check this out as its a cheapie but goodie for sure

Another Creation from Vincent Kuczinski, that has me thinking. "I hope this ones better" Its a beautiful arrangement of notes. I wasnt expecting this to be any good, after the let down of Miami and Malibu. Silage is good, and even though the base notes are the same in similar scents. It's a very smooth descent through a garden of pure bliss and warmth. Though it may not be agreeable with everyones snout. I think this one is the best of the 4. It's Definitely a fall and winter frag.

I like it for the price it's really great. It's vanilla heavy can be worn all year round may be not in the high heat. It has a good lasting on me about 5 to 6 hours with 2 hours of mild performance. Can be a safe office scent which holds up really well half of the day. For me performance is decent as the vanilla keeps pushing the fragrance. Overall 8/10

Una versión joven del Armani Code. No digo que sea igual, pero es como lo que tiene que usar como rito de iniciación el hombre Code. Hollywood de Playboy es mucho mas fresca que Code. Huele a estrella de rock, perfecto para los jovenes, como ya dije este perfume es la versión juvenil del Armani Code.
