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.

I bought it.... I was curious if I could in fact pull off a man's fragrance. No one could tell this was a man's cologne, it smells so right with my chemistry! pleasantly surprised... makes me feel like a bad-ass when I wear it

Reminds me of gucci guilty pour homme edt, i got it when I was like 16 for My birthday with a body wash that it came with. Have had it for like 12 years now just a collectors item in my opinion

I swear this is so unisex, no matter if your male of female, this will give you a sexual aurora. And for the price, it's definitely worth it for everyone to try out.

It Smells good, Its for young men. It goes for denium wear, I like it. It stays for 2 hrs on my cloths. it recommended for casual wear and also for formal.

very nice casual scent, smell the deo first and if you like it, buy the EDT at you're local shop/supermarket for cheap! 9/10

I have no problem with the lasting power for this. If you like Armani Code then you will like this. its VERY similar.

This one is the favorite of my fiance. He wear this one more than three others. Smell sweet and soft. Love it too!

This is a sleeper for me. I get a nice lavender. For the price it smells great!

Hollywood Playboy .. Smells like Armani Code ... 💯

You know what's absolutely mind-blowing? Discovering a fragrance that's not only incredibly good but also super affordable. That's the story of Playboy's Hollywood, and let me tell you, it's like stumbling upon a hidden treasure. Picture a slightly cool evening – not too chilly, not too warm. It's the perfect backdrop for a special date night or just hanging out with your buddies. Now, this scent isn't a powerhouse when it comes to how far it reaches or how long it lingers, but the best part is, it won't burn a hole in your wallet, coming in at under 12 bucks a bottle. So, even if you need to spritz a couple of times throughout the evening, just toss a small decant in your pocket and you're good to go. Now, Hollywood is like the embodiment of masculinity. It's got this killer mix of aromatic lavender, warm vanilla, and fresh bergamot that'll have you feeling like the ultimate gentleman. What's more, this fragrance is a total underdog in the fragrance world. It's not widely known or reviewed, which is kind of crazy when you think about the top-notch quality you're getting. Honestly, it's as good as some high-end niche fragrances, but without the hefty price tag. This little gem is versatile year-round, and I'm thinking about grabbing a backup bottle. I'm just crossing my fingers that it's as awesome as this first-class find I've got right here. 🌟

I asked myself why not give this a try? Coty is the parent company and it just sends me synthetic chills down my spine when I hear that name. But it was almost free so I gave in to the bunny logo and prayed that I would become Hugh Hefner...surrounded by nude girls! It did not happen but to my surprise this little synthetic bunny held its ground and smelled good. Strange but true! The first sprays are a fresh mix of lemon and wood. Its very soft and like several previous reviews have already pointed out, it will not last too long and it does end up smelling like baby powder. But that's OK because this will make the women think of baby's and after a few drinks they will think about the birds and the bees if you catch my drift. Its a simple cologne at its core yet pleasant enough to wear. It may be synthetic but for a low price I would recommend it if you are not too picky. Remember you get what you payed for in these crazy times but this might be worth it. 7 out of 10

This is a very pleasant scent, somewhat similar to Armani Code, but suffers from poor longevity and projection. You'll need to spray this one liberally, and even then it's a struggle for others to pick it up after a few minutes, unless they're standing right next to you. I also own Playboy London, and whilst I like both scents equally, I much prefer London's sillage and more effective longevity. As DominicMC already pointed out, this is almost identical to the deodrant and both can be had very cheap. It opens with nice, soft citrus notes (which lack sharpness) and soon becomes a skin scent, which on my skin is mainly just vanilla. This would be a great fragrance if it wasn't for the poor lasting power and sillage.

I'm seeing people say this has bad performance, but on me this seems to last way longer than anything else I've tried at this price point. I get this bitter green smell bfrom this. That sounds bad, but it's not. I like it, but if I tried explaining the smell "bitter green" is all I can think to say. There's also a soft powder smell to it. It's faint, but it's there. Now am I gonna say this is some hidden cheapie gem that you all should run out and get? No. But for the $7.99 I paid for it, it's pretty good.

Playboy Hollywood is Starts of with blast of Alcohol, Chemical & Synthetic Intially. It is Cheap Perfume so you wont mind spending a few bucks. Once its dry down you get good smell Top notes are Mandarin & Bergomont but does not last more than 15 mins, Vanilla & Lavenders are Important Notes in this Perfume. Base Notes are Musky & Amber Resembles a bit of Armani Code but this one is more Synthetic. Price Point of you its Ok for Beginner or People who are on Budget. My ratings are 2.75 out 5

A Very fresh and clean scent. It is fairly simple and smells very "powdery" to me. Although I do like the way this one smells on me, it does not last as long as I would like. A Great choice for any casual/sporty/work situation. Though I would stick to a more masculine scent for date nights and special occasions. This cologne is virtually unisex in my opinion along with other Playboy mens colognes like Miami. Pretty good though, I would rate it a 7 out of 10.
