9IX

Some very little similarities with 1 million, fuel for life, and perhaps Hugo boss.. With a little varvatos vintage But far above the class as it is blended to perfection! I've been a cologne fanatic since I was 8 tho I do not have a collection on here bc I deem it pointless.. I would collect colognes, and I've probably have owned 100 bottles from creeds to bonds to Liz Claiborne, Clinique, issey miyake, paco rabbane, john varvatos, Carolina Herrera and the list is infinite. I've smelled about every cologne there is.. I would do research everyday and test as many as I could from ordering samples and visiting every shop around.. This is in fact the best bang for your buck cologne out there. Versatile Unique fun sophisticated mature young club office date summer winter it doesn't matter.. This is one of my all time favorites if not my favorite and I would buy 10 bottles if it was to ever discontinue. I'm not a marketer or whatever ppl do posting good reviews to sell.. I love great fragrances and this is extra extraordinary! I wouldn't tell everyone my favorites bc it's so good I want it to myself but that's what were here for.. To share and I don't want it discontinued ever!

To me this scent was just quite nice and also my signiture scent back in 08-10, pretty much wore rhe whole 3.3oz bottle out, but boy did it ever get me noticed by pretty much everyone around me and women were drawn to me w this stuff on. It performed very well on my skin 8 plus hrs easy. People were always asking me what was I wearing all the time so maybe it just mixed so well with my skin better than any other fragrance I've ever worn so I'm thinking about another bottle since they are a lot cheaper now a days.

9IX by rocawear really is a very well done fragrance and the musk, amber and timber wood really create a very alluring and warm, masculine drydown This is not a fragrance you smell on the test strip and like immediately, it has to evolve on your skin and once you reach the actual drydown you get a great smell that everyone will enjoy

This is a really good scent. I cant say it has any real WOW factor or is anything truly groundbreaking but it serves its purpose...it smells good. I consider it a safe work scent. Its a scent ladies like but isnt a panty dropper in the likes of la nuit by YSL or Leau d'issey. I would give it a 7/10.

Got this at TJ Maxx back in 2012-2013 and it’s the fragrance that got me into the hobby and I’m still into it to this day. Great fruity melon scent from what I remember. It’ll always hold a place in my heart!

Will always be one of my favorites.. all weather all occasion all ages masterpiece

My boyfriend wears this perfume. It's beautiful.. lasts forever!

1 of the most unappreciated,under-rated frags out there. But its a blessing really because its caused the price to be very reasonable. Just a fair warning though ! LET THIS COLOGNE SIT ON YOUR SKIN FOR AT LEAST 30 MINS. My experience with this was I bought this just to try something new and when I 1st sprayed this on I thought I bought an expired fragrance because it smelled really foul and kind of like decaying oranges. lol... Howewver after 20 mins that bitter orange smell dissipates and afterwards it becomes a very smooth,fresh,sexy scent thats very pleasing to the nose. Rocawear was another fragrance that after it dried down I knew it smelled good but I was very surprised with the compliments it brought. This is also a very good scent that blends well with body chemistry and is not overly strong so its perfect for if your looking for a cologne to use when working out or just to wear in the office. As its perfect for office wear because its light enough,pleasant enough and it will last you an entire work day Projection is average on this. You will have a nice scent bubble around you but people wont be able to smell you a long distance away. Longevity is very good on this. The scent isnt very strong but lasts on my skin anywhere from 8-12 hours. Id give this a solid 8 out of 10 ! The most under rated frag I currently own

Starts off sweet and fruity, The citrus note would be the cantaloupe more obviously than the mandarin, its not strong citrus. Then the drying down leaves the masculine, musky wood accord. A young scent, definitely for teens and young hearted souls. One of my favourites. I think we should all keep in mind, this fragrance is licensed to Elizabeth Arden. What that means to me: Every fragrance I have loved that I found was licensed to EA has turned cheap on the re-release. I bought Hummer and it was gorgeouse, the second bottle I bought was nowhere near the same, almost undetectable. The exact same situation occured when I bought Britney Curious, or tried Usher He, Dirty English and Rocawear 91X. So essentially, if you've owned it and loved it once, leave it at that, because chances are, it won't be anything like the first. What I suggest: if you find, one day, tht 9IX isn't what is use to be, try Nautica Voyage. It's pretty close with the aquatic notes, though it isn't aimed at the teenage crowd.

Nice year round fragrance it starts off kind of strong but then it settles down if your looking to buy this scent I'd say go for it I've owned it for a couple years now and it gets complimented when I wear it I actually knew about this fragrance when it came out but I didn't try it until I seen the little holiday gift set at Walgreen's for $20 came with a 1oz spray shower gel and aftershave balm the first time I wore it I got compliments from almost all the women at work so because it's so affordable I'll keep buying it until they stop making it this fragrance can be found online for a little of nothing surprisingly its a very good scent casual wear at work or just shopping it doesn't smell cheap or nothing like that 7/10 it'll surprise you

Underrated Frag. age range 20s to mid 30s depending on your personality. starts of citrusy, hint of melon. If u enjoy musk you will enjoy this. does smell a bit harsh after half an hour of spraying but that goes away within an hour. that maybe due to the musk+melon. (pungent note) Majority of the time it just smells like sweet woody musk. good for everyday wear. can give u headache if applied too much. has qualities of a signature scent- very versatile, affordable, not many people use this, masculine. BUT I can not wear it everyday. Will last solid 4hrs of projection. 7/10 for me. casual wear and good for traveling due to packaging.

Musk based, melon and mandarin with amber & suede too!?!? Great notes...sounds like my wet dream! Unfortunately the only thing that makes this one stand out is the peculiar and overly massive bottle. Cheap and no real substance to this one, I found the fruity opening harsh and then nothing after that really. I can understand the mention of Kenneth Cole Reaction and CK Escape but in my view they are both much better than this effort. Cheap though.

Normally I don't like melon fragrances. I hated Usher He. Perhaps because the pineapple. But this one, Rocawear 9 IX performed beyond any spectations in my skin. A really nice musk and floral, not pronunciated fruit notes at all. Long lasting, good sillage. Performed better in my skin than L'Eau D'Issey pour Homme. A very nice surprise. I think it worth the money , 24 dolars. It's a very good frangance to consider.

This smells really nice. :) it is just average in terms of longevity, projection, and sillage, but that is all it needs. I personally feel it is more of a Spring/Summer scent but it is versatile in the sense that you can wear it during the day and at night. It's also a super safe work scent. Also being moderately priced, you can't go wrong with this one. :)

A decent fruity/musky accord with a bit of suede. I remember getting this when it 1st came out. It sold out very quickly because of Jigga of course. It's not a bad scent but a nice beginners type of frag. A bit light and a bit short on performance but I enjoy it every now and then. Nothing new or original but a safe inexpensive spring/summer scent.

Found this at Wal Greens for 5 bucks for 30 mill. Good scent with great longevity. Only wore this 2x. Good for the money. Smells spicy and aromatic for sure. Will keep this one for future use!

tried this a few weeks ago. Love it, but if you're young and you want a good scent(all you high school guys) hint hint, then buy this....

its Olfactive Group should be "Woody Aromatic"

Rocawear 9IX isn't a unique scent. It may be good for younger men, but it isn't as good of a cheapy as many say it is. It is a typical scent. It has OK projection with heavy musk in its base, almost too dominating. The fruity open is dominated by coriander in the beginning which to me is a prelude to the musk. There is a slight suede mid going into the musk heavy base with a hint of wood and that's only because the musk dominates it. The first time I wore it, I saw a movie that day and it barely last that from when I initially put it on, about four hours before the credits. And I typically hold scents. I have read people who compare it several fragrances in reviews on here and I want to set the record straight. I cannot compare it to Diesel Fuel for Life since I haven't smelt it yet. I have read comparisons to Ed Hardy Hearts & Daggers Men but it isn't that. Hearts & Dagger is far lighter and fruitier while 9IX is muskier. To my nose, it smells more like a non-green Carolina Herrera 212 Men similar to Paco Rabanne XS. Unlike XS and like 212 Men, it don't perform all that well on me. The musk lasts about four hours fairly similar to both 212. Overall I give Rocawear 9IX a 5.5 out of 10 for performing as good as 212 Men (which isn't that much on me) does on me but at a much more affordable price.

Opens with a Beautiful & Natural Cantelope Melon Scent that sadly is punctuated by a funky & foul Musk Odor... IMO I find Guess Marciano to be very similar in how the Citrus and Musk play off one another in comparison with Rocawear however the pungent Musk is significantly Toned down in Guess Marciano which is a great thing and only16$ USD at TJ Maxx & Marshalls

this is one pungently intense sweet spicy scent i smell before. I like the top notes, but not on the end notes. it is too sickly sweet and spice at the same time.

I think that this is in the same family as Kenneth Cole Reaction and Polo Explorer- same DNA My wife thought it was just average. My teenage daughter like it.

Got this one because it was cheap but it just didn't sit well with me. Not completely horrid; I just have other options.

A blast of freshness that has just the right amount of spice, musk and fruit to leave the wearer intrigued by its originality. The opening explodes with cantaloupe and mandarin quickly toned down by a rather pronounced coriander spice that though it isn't really profoundly pleasant to sniff at first, adds a bit of grit to the mix and makes Rocawear IX less redundant from the common citric openings and far more intriguing to veterans and enthusiasts alike. It certainly owes something to CK Escape and Kenneth Cole Reaction as far as influences, but goes a much different direction after the melon, leaving the sweetness of Escape and Reaction in the dust for a more watery and transparent vibe like that of Polo Blue but less synthetic. Using the cantaloupe in the top notes without grapefruit, mango or lemon is an interesting enough concept, certainly giving this some originality but it also leaves it a bit thin, aiding Rocawear 9IX in its quick descent into skin scent within 10-15 minutes of application. Still, 9 IX never completely recedes to the background, coming back in flashes as the musk, suede and woods creep into the mix. The middle note of lavender and geranium never really materialize in this one, giving the melon more breathing room before finally giving way in the dry down to a rather calm musky woods dry down. Given its skin scent tendencies, 9 IX is best used for more intimate moments to make up for its lack of range. Longevity is around 4-6 hours on average with most of it lacking projection. Nice scent all the same. Nothing exceedingly exceptional to seek out for its own sake, but a very serviceable and unique fresh aquatic that can be found at generally bargain basement prices at most discount retailers.

I disagree. I don't think this is juvenille at all. My hubby is 33 and he wears this, it does not smell "young" or "teenage" at all to me. He used to always wear Drakkar, which I feel is somewhat of a classic male scent, and when he tested this one, he liked it also. I think it is a very nice, sexy, smell. It's not too "out there" like some colognes you can almost smell from a mile away (these are the ones that seem more "teenage" to me, the ones that smell like guys/men bathed in them, because that is what teenagers sometimes do) You have to get somewhat close to him to smell it, and when you do smell it, it just makes you (or at least me) just want to get closer to smell more of it! This is what exactly what a good scent should do, in my opinion. It should draw you in, and make you want to come closer. That's what this scent does, and I love it.

This smell confuses me, it has an addictive smell, that is sexy and bold... it demands attention with a water pistol, it slithers into dreams and causes a psychological dependance. It is dangerous and innocent seeming... it stops women's critical judgement by placing it in a chokehold while rubbing her back and whispering into her ear. While women are left wondering it has charmed her and is kissing her neck... it causes women to follow you and come back... it makes her think about you and desire you... she'll ache to see you again and rip off your clothes. It causes lust in the mind... it is a scent to be worn confidently and with charisma... simply it is seductive and alluring and it keeps her thinking.

Can't argue with the price, but Rocawear 9IX does not agree with me. The opening is tolerable, but the odd fruit/musk/spice mix in the drydown is not for me. I'm not sure what the attempt is, but it's not the intensity, but the scent, that causes me to gag a bit. Still, the reviews are positive in general which is why I blind bought this cheap ($8 for 30ml) at Ross, so have at it if you please. It's not worth it to me---hard to imagine how this and Evolution came from the same house, but go figure. 3 out of 10

I watched this product fly of the shelves. So i bought it. I can honestly say that this is one of the best summer Fragrances that i have tested. It has a very calming Alluring effect on women. Not sure but if you take a deep breath. It makes you stop and think. Its was Fruity, but something interrupts the melon all the way through the notes. I believe its the coriander, and where its placed is perfect. Im not much for fruity Colognes, but this one definatley sits on top.

When I first smelled this I liked it. But about 5 minutes later there was a distinct scent that I hated. A similar scent can be found in ESCADA MAGNETISM. I think it is saffron. I find it nauseous. I smelled Rocawear several times just to be sure that my nose was not playing tricks on me. Lo and behold the dry down smells like someone took a little piece of FAECAL MATTER and perfumed it.

The previous reviewer is correct it starts off cantaloupe then the musk hits making it smell almost like cream soda it’s very light doesn’t last long I notice I enjoy it much more if I use the body wash with it I feel that it adds some depth like a very light fresh spice is added with the body wash I feel it is a great around the house scent a very inoffensive work or school option

This is a very young, juvenile, teenage cologne! Its fresh, sweet like Pink bubble gum to my nose. While it wont offend anyone, O 1 should be so lucky! Also may I add it does not last long either, if this is what your into for a frag, than I suggest go for what you know. I wont give it a thumbs down, but I am going to give it a neutral rating on the more thumbs down side.

A very unique interesting scent..didn't like the opening but after 30 minutes or so it becomes really nice and pleasant.. And I actually liked it..I don't turn to it often enough so I'm selling it...but a good beginner fragrance for the money...would say try before you buy..overall score 7/10...this one is a love/hate fragrance for me..

Very nice scent. It doesn't do much for me in terms of wow factor but it does smell good once you get past the opening blast. Paid $11.99 for it at Ross. *UPDATE* - Returned it to Ross. Didn't do anything for me plus I decided it's a little to immature for me...

I really like this scent! I think it smells fantastic on my husband, it's different from other colognes, after he wears it for a little while it doesn't smell too spicy or sweet, it just smells good, I want to hug him every time I get close enough to smell it!

Good for the Gen Y's like myself. Fruity like smell, mango like. Smells hella good on the skin. I rather this over the Rocawear X. -0.5 for low radius -1 for not lasting long enough Rating 8.5/10 HOVA! Rule number 99, stay on her mind. Jay Z

At first it was citrusy and nice! Then I totally smelt a note of fresh excrement. Not impressed, not happy, but extremely glad I didn't blind buy due to some good reviews. Seriously, don't blind buy this one or just don't buy at all.

Really strong and unappealing at first, but then dies down to smell much sweeter. I think the strong musk/spice scent at first application is what makes me not a fan of this cologne. I shouldn't have to "wait" for a good scent.

For some reason this everyone I work with loves when I were this at work love the way it smells .....sent 8.0 longevity 5.5 cloud 3.0 hours Overall...6.5 for what I paid at ross here in Pittsburgh 7$ for a 1.7 it's a 10

Thank you babybash44............ I am happy that someone else agrees that there is definitely a FAECAL MATTER (excrement) scent in this cologne. like i said there is a note that i can only describe as perfumed faeces

An old favourite. Really liked this sexy fragrance, during my 20s this was one of my favourite ones alongside with Burberry London (Men). Could wear this anywhere, from the gym, to everyday, work and dates.

Pretty basic young man smell. Very fruity and musky masculine. Cant complain though I like it, nothing great. Got it for 15 bucks for a 50 ml at ross. Probably wont buy again, but will use the full bottle.

I didn't think it was too strong. When my Hubby wears it, I can sense a touch of some spiceness at the beginning, but it dries down to a kind of sweet smell.

I got this fragrance for my boyfriend & he loves it :) I love it too it smells so nice & fresh. Kind of reminds me of Usher's for him fragrance.

spicy with a hint of musk...a totally club scent...I could not stop smelling my wrist when this was on.

Smells alot like Aventus by creed
