Vince Camuto for Men

I just did a sample of this at Belk. I am a huge fragrance freak but never heard of Vince Camuto. I called my sister up and it turns out this guy is well known for designing womens shoes and other clothing. I took a whiff of this frag and honestly I was blown away by the fresh, woody, clean, and peppery dark this fragrance was. It really caught me off guard how good this stuff smelled. I have NO idea on the longevity of this but this is def a beautiful fragrance in every way. I own over 50 frags with several of them being Niche but still haven't found my PERFECT scent however I get compliments all the time with what I wear. I have a feeling this frag is going to be a serious contender with the higher up frags. It is very well blended, peppery spicy, fresh, woody. If it as good as the smell on my wrist and has some staying power I may have found a new signature scent. If the longevity isn't great, I am still going to get it and get an atomizer. I don't see how anybody could not like this scent nor be offended by it. It's MANLY and I believe could boost ones confidence after a few sprays on the neck. 9/10 Update: Bought the frag. I love it, especially the clean earthy drydown. There is nothing ULTIMATELY super unique on the frag other than it smells DAMN good. It is simply a new take on things that have been done before. This is one of the few colognes that I actually DO spray on the clothes. I go 4 shots with this one..Two on each neck pulse point, one under the shirt, and one ON the shirt. I have found my self sniffing myself throughout the day. There are indeed frags that have a similar vibe, but I find this one especially interesting for its spicy darkness that is not overly harsh. This could go all seasons but really fitting for a cool evening or fall. If you are looking for an over the top completely intense unique fragrance, this may not be for you. If you are looking for something daily, clean, spicy, and a bit mysterious this could be the one for you. Just because your nose can't smell it intensely after an hour doesn't mean people around you cant.

I was surprised how much like this one. To me, I get a really nice fresh-leather, lavender, woodsy, peppery feel out of it. This fragrance has average projection for the first couple hours and then transitions into a skin scent; moreover, it lasts around 6-7 hours on my skin. There is nothing really outstanding or unique about this fragrance, except it really is quite a pleasant and versatile fragrance: excellent date/event scent (has a sensual quality to it) and wonderful for a quiet day at the office (has a semi-formal business feel to it) when you're not trying to make a brash statement nor stink anyone out. It can be used day or night and during anytime of the year except the really hot and cold periods IMO. Well-done! Sure it's not an in-your-face Tuscan Leather or Golden Boy leather fragrance, but one doesn't need to include Moon-Dust and essence of Holy Grail in order to make a lovable scent. While not one of my favorites, VCM is definitely a cherished leather fragrance in my Scent Armory...cool bottle too. So don't listen to rubbish by folks like mxmath who said, "If you want to weat a sceny without others knowing, this is for you..." Perhaps I knew what "weat a sceny" meant...ugh!

If you're a fan of leather, you will certainly enjoy this one especially its opening. The opening is very strong on the leather but mellows out fairly quick. As with most fragrances, go easy on the spray. I've noticed it can be a bit strong once the leather subdues if I'm not careful. It's perfect for cold weather and it's become my favorite during this cold northeast winter. It projects a very beautiful scent once the leather disappears and it lasts through the day. You will also notice that it leaves a very nice fragrance on your clothes. I bought it out of curiosity and was very pleasantly surprised. It is very masculine and I doubt any women could pull off this one. Also, there's something about it that feels like an old fragrance you may have smelled a long time ago and suddenly shows up. Perhaps its the leather. Olfactory deja vu? I like it and will probably keep wearing it, at least until the weather turns and it's time to pull out the spring stuff. The leather on the bottle and top add a nice classy touch. Can be bought for decent price so shop around.

Walking through Macy’s, I randomly picked this up to smell it. My wife and I became so enamored by the scent that I memorized the name and for the next few days and kept thinking about it. Finally, after about four days, I ordered it and this became my go-to sent every day for about a year. (This was before I started collecting fragrances and wearing something different each day.) At my job, I got compliments. One of them came from someone specific who meant a lot to me and that only meant one thing- this was going to be my signature scent. The smell is masculine, but I’m not talking Sauvage or Aventus masculine. This is its own thing. It’s sophisticated and I really don’t think you can go wrong with it. It’s good for an office setting or a night out. I’d say best in the colder months. I don’t get citrus, but I’m not sure what it is to be honest. Maybe leather? Or some type of woodiness. Either way, I’m glad this is part of my collection.

This scent makes you say, "Hmmmm...what am I smelling?" What you're smelling is a clean combination of citrus, wood scents, and leather with a dash of pepper. The opening is very fresh and exciting and eventually dries down to a more subtle, professional scent that projects quite well. Also, there seems to be slight hint of singed tobacco or smoke elusively hiding in the dry down...a nice little touch of, "I'm a MANLY man." This is definitely a safe fragrance that is suitable for all occasions, both day and night. So, go ahead. Give it a shot. The lady in your life will definitely be pleased. BEWARE: To be completely honest, I get a decent amount of compliments from women and a heavy amount from men, so you may end up getting attention that you want AND don't want, if you catch my drift. Of course, that all depends on YOUR preferences. I'm just informing you beforehand.
