True Religion Men

While shopping for something new at my favorite fragrance counter I had my selections down to Beckham Signature Story, Rocawear's X (Diamond Anniversary)and True Religion for Men. I chose this one because it stood out over the other two due to its freshness and the way it took notes found in many other fragrances and combined them in a bright, refined and sexy way... The notes listed above are very general and make this seem linear and generic when nothing could be further from the truth. True Religion begins with citrus notes (mandarin, lemon peel) combined with herbal notes of lavender and verbena, making a very clean and bright entrance. The green heartnotes of corriander, violet leaf, juniper and fir balsam add to its freshness while keeping it refined and natural. The manly drydown of patchouli, leather, moss and woods (balsam & sandal)is, in some fragrances, a bit too strong yet here it stays subtle yet manly. This fragrance has an underlying strength and sweet smooth air about it. Crisp, earthy, natural and genuine...it embodies modern masculinity without pounding on its chest or bragging. It is strong but not overpowering and soft but not too wimpy or effeminate... Sillage: decent Longevity: above average Overall: 4.75/5 Excellent! True Religion takes plain old denim and through loving care and quality craftsmanship turns them into a work of art. They do the same with their first mens fragrance, using very common ingredients and combining them in a modern and artful manner resulting in an understated masculine masterpiece. Yes, it is quite expensive;but, remember:you get what you pay for...and aren't YOU worth it?

I get it — it’s not the most complex or niche fragrance out there. But you know what? I love this stuff. It’s clean, fresh, and just easy to wear. The opening has this smooth citrus and herbal vibe, with a slightly soapy, almost watery feel that makes it perfect for everyday use. As it settles, you get a soft musk and wood base that’s never too heavy or too sweet — just relaxed and comfortable. No, it’s not a loud, attention-grabbing cologne. But that’s part of why I enjoy it. It’s laid-back, low-key confidence in a bottle. Something about it just works with my skin and puts me in a good mood every time I wear it. If you’re chasing crazy note breakdowns and ultra-projection, this isn’t that. But if you appreciate a clean, fresh scent that smells casual but put-together, this one’s a gem — especially if you find it for a good price. Sometimes simple is exactly what you need.

True Religion truly is a great fragrance. It reminds me of the rugged, leathery, masculine smell that Diesel Fuel For Life has combined with the fresh aquatic citrusy smell of Georgio Armani Aqua Di Gio. When you initially spray it, you immediately get the citruses out of it, which is my favorite part. The oakmoss and green notes give it a nice vintage vibe. Kind of reminds me of the smell a new pair of jeans has. The longevity is pretty good. I can smell it on myself all day. The dry down is woodsy and has the vintage aroma that I described above. True Religion is an unique scent for sure. I've gotten many compliments while wearing it. Great job TR on your first fragrance!

I've had this cologne for about two weeks and absolutly love it, as well as many of my family and friends. I've smelt several colognes that are similar, but not quite like this one. A must have in my opinion. Reminds me of a light breeze on a bright spring day. The top notes have a slight citrus thats not too strong. The middle notes are green and fresh, like your walking effortlessly through a field of tall grass with miles of "The North American Plains" in view. The base notes boast masculinity with a wood thats not overbearing and a scent that lasts all day. Overall refreshing, very pleasent, not offensive and inviting. The best cologne I ever had, for all occasions.

i love the smell but the price is still too high, even on discount sites! having the honor to smell this, u cant tell theres much citrus or spice or herbaceous stuff in it because its all so well blended, and the smell is unbeatable! extremely fresh and laid back and sexy scent girls will love, while its got a nice edge to it. this is one of the few clothing brand colognes that really stands out, it uses common stuff, but if i buy this i will want to throw all my other scents away
