Impact

I received a sample of this with my latest online purchase. Impact smells so late 90's/early 2000 that if you're 40 something like me you can't avoid the nostalgia effect. I have to admit that the first thing I thought upon smelling it was "Boss Bottle". So I went to retrieve my trusted BB miniature and made a side by side comparison. Verdict: not so similar after all, and although I don't esclude that Bottled may have served as an inspiration, I think that the style this perfume was made plays a bigger role in suggesting this comparison than the actual similarities in the two formulas do. However, if you really can't let go of the idea that this is Hilfinger's take on Boss Bottle, I'd say this is Bottled made better. Also, Impact has an incensy facet that gives me some Gucci pour Homme vibes. I don't see nieche-only collectors elbowing their way through the crowd to get a bottle of this, but if you don't have ultra exclusive tastes this is a pretty solid release and a very comforting scent - ESPECIALLY if you feel that nostalgic connection I mentioned before. This is also a perfect scent to wear on a date: it's very "huggable" and I wouldn't be surprised if you found her/his head resting on your shoulder by the end of the movie...

Sprayed it on at Tommy Hilfiger store on a whim, I wasn't expecting to be blown away but this was so good I bought it the next day. This is very reminiscent of Hugo Boss Bottled but cleaned up and more modern. The apple, woods and vanilla is very present here, it has that apple pie style that is so memorable from Boss Bottled, removed the cinnamon and made more versatile for all four seasons. I also detect hints of La Nuit de L'homme/Ferragamo F Black in the drydown. Projection and longevity is actually quite good. I was not expecting a Tommy summer fragrance to be a good performer so it was a very welcome surprise. If you like boss bottled you might enjoy this.

This is quite good. I cherished the sample vial for a few months eager to get hold of a full bottle. Got my 100ml EDT(Plus a cute little 4ml built-in travel spray in the cap) today and its a unique and pleasing perfume, shining more in its dry down than in its synthetic opening. Mid and dry-down has good strong Pepper + pure green stem/leaf note of wild rose also which I found unique (no rose-flower note thankfully). Later found out that one of the creators is Jacques Huclier (I like some of his blends). In no way am I able to relate this to Boss Bottled or Ferragamo-F or any of the usual blue perfumes in anyway. Longevity is around 4 hrs max.

Unexpected result for what it could have just been a small synthetic perfume... easy to wear but above all, that stands out. It seems natural, simple and even gourmand. Its spectrum going from bitter fresh to discreet fruity gourmand is quite broad. Very versatile on the skin and depending on the context, it knows how to offer different facets... in rainy or hot weather, during the day or in the evening it is different... a nice surprise that finds its place at home between L'eau D'Ikar, Oud Maracuja, Nuit de Megève, Aventus and all my other perfumes from another range...

Impact Intense seems to get more hype in the fragrance community, so I tested it first in a store and didn't really like it, but that turned around over time to loving it. I now pulled the trigger on Impact Intense and out of interest, I also added the normal Impact to my order as a blind buy. I wasn't expecting much. But damn. I love the woody freshness this has. It is a freshness of a kind that I haven't smelled in this way before and I am digging it, because I seem to be a lover of woody scents in general. The fruityness in the opening is a nice addition.

I love the first fragrance from Tommy, I wouldn't exchange it for any other brands. When I tried this new fragrance, I thought was a copy from the original Hugo Boss. However the impact smells lovely and last longer but the most amazing thing is the bottle. Modern and original and very Tommy Hilfiger.

One of the best fragrances I've ever owned! Unfortunately, I didn’t get to enjoy it for long since it broke. It has the perfect blend of everything. The only downside is the longevity—a scent like this deserves a performance boost, something on par with brands like Nishane, Narcotic, or Tom Ford.

This is a like a 10/10 fresh summer scent to me. I feel like it’s a nod to the nineties somehow. Only thing is that it’s too light to fight.. but it’s delicious! Fragrantica stop sleeping. There is a new flanker to this called ”spark”.

Afrutado, fresco y amaderado, combinación simplemente deliciosa, con excelentes prestaciones, y un precio ridículamente barato para la calidad que tiene, me parece una excelente alternativa si lo que buscas es un perfume versatil

This is marvellous. Youthful, fresh summer banger. Great release, better than reformulated Tommy right now.

Modern and manly, as manly as you can get these days. 8/10

Very apparent woody note with a suttle weetness to it.

Impact Eau de Toilette was launched in 2020 and had a market strategy divided by regions. First, it was distributed in countries in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, in March this year. Then it left for the Americas and Southeast Asia in late August. The advertising campaign was also not unique to all markets. The singer James Bay was the face of the global campaign, the German singer Wincent Weiss was the face in Germany, the composer Carl Brave was the face in Italy, while Sebástian Yatra dominated the campaign in the Latin market. The inspiration and concept – which involved musicians – came from Tommy's love for the musical universe, from the times of Jimmy Hendrix, The Who, and Rolling Stones. Impact's fragrance has a very rich composition in terms of ingredients, although what we see posted around seems very minimalist. In the head, we have apple, grapefruit, Italian bitter orange Orpur® , Italian bergamot Orpur®, pink pepper Orpur® , and green coca leaf. In the body, notes of elemi resin, French cypress Orpur®, clary sage, and Spanish labdanum Orpur® were combined. In the base, a combo of cedarwood Orpur®, Virginia cedar Orpur®, Texas cedar Orpur®, as well as amber, musk, sandalwood, and Akigalawood®. The bottle of Impact also made a good impression, with a modern design, a T-shaped cap (by Tommy), and a secret compartment that houses a small spray with 4 ml of fragrance. Without a doubt, a great idea and a look far superior to what we were used to. Impact has a fragrance classified as woody and aromatic. However, on the skin, it works more like a woody-fruity scent, with some smoky nuances and versatile style. The output is very pleasant and makes the sale of the product by itself. There is a lot of presence of the orange, the apple does not go unnoticed (although little publicized) and the citrus fruits bring a bath of juiciness. But don't think of a citrus green-colored smell. Here, we have the vivid idea of a yellow-orangy juice. With evolution, Impact's fragrance starts to show itself more resinous, almost oriental. In a moment, you feel something balsamic; in another, something like incense. And the drying brings a very creamy and light woody accord. Finally, with IMPACT, the brand leaves its comfort zone, represented by its numerous aromatic, daytime, and versatile fragrances. However, it sinned by not daring, something that everyone expected and that the market has allowed. That's because, truth be told, the countless comparisons to the Boss Bottled (Hugo Boss) fragrance are not without foundation. The difference, however, is that the latter was launched more than two decades ago. And as much as I don't like to draw comparisons, I will list the main differences that I could notice, okay? Impact's fragrance is more succulent, while the other opens up fruity and dry, almost crunchy; Impact's evolution is smokier, while the other is spicier; Impact’s drying is more youthful and dense, while the other is soberer and with salty facets; Impact projects much more in the beginning, while the other exudes more, even after six hours on the skin. In short, it is unnecessary to have both perfumes on the same shelf at the same time. Side by side, they really look a lot and have similar performance. In my opinion, it is a matter of taste. But I leave here a real testimony: by identification with the brand, personally, I would choose the competitor's perfume. But now, knowing the fragrance, I prefer Impact.

I've actually never owned a Hilfiger perfume, nor have I found them interesting enough to purchase. With that in mind, I have regularly bought and worn their clothes as I find them of a decent quality and design. So, last week I was in a Hilfiger store looking for a new pair of jeans when - lo and behold - the store had reserved an entire table for presenting the new Impact perfume. Long story short, when I left the store I was equipped also with a minuscule tester (0.3 ml - who the h*ll makes samples that small !?) of Impact. Fast forward to earlier today I managed to test the meager 3 (!!) sprays that were in the sample, and my impression so far is : not that bad. As in - it's really hard to dislike. It doesn't come across to me as the usual "blue" fragrance that the bottle indicates, more in the vein of your typical night time popular fragrances. What I get is some sort of lemony opening, woods, akigalawood, and ambery ambroxan but quite subtle as well as pleasant. I have honestly no idea have coca smells, but I do get some sweetish cocoa-like wafts every now and then - is that coca? I've heard it should smell like tea. So yes, it is generic and performance (at least from my dwarfish sample) is not impressive but my overall impression is ok. Would I buy it? No, IMO there are dozens of better perfumes in the same price range as the atmosphere is somewhere in Boss Bottled/YSL La Nuit territory and should be categorized as woody spicy instead of aromatic fruity - but that's just my opinion. But what I do like is the idea of the bottle with a refillable atomizer that you can bring along - which may also be necessary with the quite low performance of Impact. Not too bad, but I must say the Hilfiger perfume line still hasn't made anything that I could not live without.

I had a small sample vial of Tommy Impact EdT lying around since December last year and I only found the time now to have some proper wear. And I like it! The opening is very much fruity-sweet (some say apple, but I don't smell apple at all, although it might be me - see below), with some citrus notes which made me think of sweet orange mixed with spices you would usually add to winter treats (cinnamon, clove). Ten minutes in, I get what this scent reminded me of - and not only me apparently: this is Boss Bottled by Hugo Boss. Maybe not an exact copy, but very much alike in style, smell and idea. And, similarly, I don't get any apple or apple pie vibe :D Specifically, this reminded me of the EdP Intense or, better, how I would have liked the EdP Intense to smell: a slightly sweeter and slightly stronger version (which is kinda ironic, considering Impact is an EdT). Going into the drydown, this becomes a cozy amber-woody fragrance, with some creamy savoury nuances and lots of spices. For me Impact is not a fresh fragrance at all and not really suitable in the summer heat - more for spring and fall. Highly likeable, easy to wear and will pull you compliments; probably a bit redundant if you already have any Boss Bottled juice. If I had to choose, though, I think I'd go with Impact. Good performance (6/7 hours with a few more as a skin scent), not a huge scent trail but the scent bubble will make up for it. My sample has batch code CB9 from November 2019. Very decent like.

The first time I saw the “T” shaped cap, I honestly thought I’d bought a teenager’s cologne. But the moment I held it in my hand, I changed my mind: the glass is thick, heavy, and you can tell there’s real quality behind the design, not just a gimmick. As for the scent, it’s synthetic, sure, but the good kind of synthetic, the kind that doesn’t feel cheap. It opens fresh and fruity, and as the minutes pass it settles into a woody base that reminds me a lot of Hugo Boss Bottled, with that classic, masculine vibe that never really goes out of style. What I like most is how versatile it is. I’ve worn it to work, out at night, dressed down and dressed up, and it never feels out of place or overwhelming. It’s one of those scents that just doesn’t fail, no matter the occasion. If you’re just starting your fragrance collection, this is a safe bet for me: it delivers, it doesn’t disappoint, and you won’t get tired of it.

I know there's an intense version of this, which I haven't tried yet but honestly I wonder how potent that's going to be considering this TH Impact is already on steroids. Really quite strong and for a pleasant smell like this, there's no complaint whatsoever. Reminds me of Hugo Boss Bottled original for sure. Very close DNA, albeit with a tad more sweetness, woodiness and depth with TH. 8.9/10 don't ask me where the 0.1 went? :P Edit: Hold on! After continuous use, am I getting a PDM Layton vibe here? The peppery intro of Layton is in TH somewhere for sure

This is going to sound insane but please hear me out, this reminds me of a more mature, less whimsical version of Spicebomb Infrared EDP I done know what it is, maybe the citruses of this fragrance, over the warm, playful, spicy notes of SBI-EDP create this but that's the vibe I got, obviously the woody and amber notes are carried over but I don't know, am I crazy. anyway this is well priced and lasts awhile. id also like to note I haven't smelt hundreds upon hundreds of fragrances and I don't think I have a brilliant nose.

I’ve been testing Tommy Hilfiger Impact on my skin for three consecutive days, and I have to say, I’m genuinely impressed. The scent is beautiful and very pleasant. I honestly didn’t expect this level of performance from a fragrance at this price point. For me, it has a warm touch while still being a fresh summer fragrance, which makes it really unique. It’s calm, smooth, and easy to wear—perfect for daily use. I can already tell it’s going to be one of my favorite fragrances this summer from my collection. 8/10

I can agree with that, Tommy Hilfiger isn’t famous for its fragrances, but this one is special for me. I smelled this in the airport’s duty free and I know that I need this. This is a light fragrance, it’s an EDT, but stays on my skin for 8-9 hours, it’s not weak at all. I’m using this as an everyday frag, when I’m in a hurry. Best for the summer time. I can recommend to everyone, but first try out, because it’s not a unique smell, you can find better options, but I can’t tell why, I really like this frag.
