Fujiyama Gentleman

I came across this in a gift set at Marshall's for $14.99. I figured I'd pick it up since I needed some new aftershave and shower gel. When I got home I gave it a spritz. My first impression was that this reminded me of another inexpensive brand that I picked up at a Ross - Cuba Paris, except without that pipe tobacco note. And, by relation, JPG's Le Male. The initial spray gives that heavy floral aroma but after a few minutes there is this nice even blend of lavender, vanilla, and cinnamon. As it dried down further I sensed a bit of the musk. While the sillage is not there - arm's length at best - it is a nice body scent that has that fresh appeal and the longevity isn't half bad. I think it is well worth the fifteen bucks. I particularly love fragrances like this because they allow me to save my favorites for special occasions while still wearing something I enjoy immensely. I have considered using this in conjunction with JPG knock-off Jean Rene, like spraying Jean Rene first, allowing the initial alcohol smell to dissipate (maybe 5 minutes) and then applying Fujiyama Gentleman (or Cuba Paris) to get that stronger projection like in Le Male.

The "Reminds Me Of" section has this right: it smells like Le Male without mint, Cuba Gold with a bit less wood, and less so 360° White but still close with less florals and powder. It has a bit more cinnamon than all of those. In short, I would be exceedingly happy if I didn't already own all three of the above listed fragrances. As is it's a bit redundant. It's great but really it's just Le Male Lite. If you don't own Le Male then by all means pick this one or Cuba Gold up and save a little money. Well worth the $13 I paid for the whole 3 piece gift set (fragrancenet) but it's just not unique. All that said, it still does smell very nice and I like it a lot.

What an awesome oriental. Spicy floral with overtones of cinnamon, lavender, vanilla... and what seems to be the illusion of sweet almond. Very long lasting on my skin. Warm and inviting. Comforting. Don't hesitate to buy on the blind. At 10 bucks, if you don't like it enough... I am sure someone you know will. It is one of my favorites now... I went back and bought a few more bottles so I won't run out.

Cuba Gold with almond. Love it.

wA great scent on its own but very similar to 2 popular colognes ! Those 2 being Le Male and Prada Luna Rossa Sport. Before going into comparisons I’ll describe this on its own. Gentlemen is a very creamy,soapy,aromatic,fougere that once it dries down also gets slightly powdery. I really do enjoy this scent as it’s very relaxing,warm and inviting ! As I mentioned earlier this is very similar to Le Male and Luna Rossa Sport(Which is also a more modern take on Le Male) but whereas Le Male is loud,musky and very sweet this is a more subdued version. I imagine Gentlemen is what Le Males bodywash would smell like. Performance on me is 4-6 hours with moderate projection for an hour and then your left with a nice scent bubble after that. This is a perfect office scent or for a job that your in close quarters with someone as long as you stay with 2-4 sprays. Also worth noting is that for a cheapie it’s actually pretty well blended and smells more expensive than it is. However in the drydown (about 3 hours in) it does start to fall apart and slightly reflect its price point as the scent is pretty much just vanilla at that point. Overall rating —7.5 out of 10 ! Very nice scent for the price point. I’m so glad I rediscovered this as the first time I wore this my fiancée immediately said she liked it ( she also thought I was wearing Luna Rossa Sport) Sidenote— Great Dumb reach for work,relaxing or running errands when you want to smell nice but don’t want to use your more expensive frags.
