Rocawear X

According to the PR on this scent's release it contains Lapsang Suchong tea, lime, goji berries, pomelo, eucalyptus, black amber,guaiac wood, cedar and musk... I put off buying this because I already have many "tea scents" but when I saw a small bottle in a discount store for 28.00 USD I could not resist... The lime and pomelo are quite fresh and not too zesty, the goji berries add a fruity note less sweet than lychee and not as bitter as cranberries or currants. The eucalyptus adds a touch of warm green to the mix. The tea is detectable throughout its development. On the drydown: the woods, dark amber and musk are blended so smoothly they become almost one sweet strong accord that brighten rather than weigh this scent down. I enjoyed the 9IX (my friens call it "99") but I enjoy this one more! Fresh, clear but slightly woody and down to earth, bright and slightly exotic this one is a winner... Sillage: close Longevity: quite decent Overall: 4/5 Where the original was darker and mysteriously sexy, this one is bright and clean with alot of fresh and natural notes. The whole scent is quite good and would be a really nice summer scent if you wanted something a little different...Keep up the good work Jay-Z!

My grandma bought this for me for either birthday or Christmas I don't remember. I know her and my sister got it at Marshalls. This was when I was first starting to get into fragrances. I remember really liking it, and getting compliments on it left and right. I went a long time without wearing it because it was a small bottle and I wanted to make it last. Well fast forward a few years and I went to try it again and it was all gone. It had leaked out and the bottle was stuck to the cabinet. I was sad and pissed. I remember it smelling sweet and spicy, and a lot like tea for some reason. I wonder if it wasn't trying to make a cheaper version of a niche expensive fragrance, because it was very unique. Anyway I may hate it now if I tried it, but it's too hard to find now. I wish I had bought some when I could.

There is something about this scent that I just love. It's such a great, unique surprise and easily my favorite from the Rocawear house. The first time I sprayed this scent, I got this sweet peppermint like smell...even though there is no peppermint in the notes.(must be the tea note mixing with something else...the eucalyptus perhaps?) And instantly knew I had to get it. A little sweet, a little spicy, a little creamy, a little green, a little citrus, a little musky....a scent that keeps me guessing and coming back for another sniff time and time again! Terrific longevity and good projection as well. A definite departure from the usual boring juice that gets churned out from a lot of designers. Big thumbs up from me on this one!!!

I find it laughable to diss this and plug Code in. Clearly Code is better, but this is a nice affordable cologne, great for a night out on the town. You can find it sometimes at TJ Maxx for around $14-20. Can't get Code for that price.

I like this but it smells the same all the way through as said before. seems to be no top notes or basenotes, just.. the same. kinda boring if you ask me. but, it is what it is.
