Pleasure Over Business

I decided not to read any reviews below before I said something. I really enjoy this scent. It is a very easy wear and can be worn for any occasion and time of year. I do get a barbershop style which I really like, it is very masculine. It is hard to tell how long it lasts, but I have clocked it at 12+ hrs. You do go anosmic to it, but my nose does come back. The opening is gorgeous! I’m glad I bought it, if you don’t like it, that’s too bad. I will be sad when the bottle is gone.

This is very nice. I get high end invictus parfum vibes, in a way. More complex, quality is a different level, etc. But, that's the closest vibe I can come to. Not a bright freshie in any way, clean deep rich blueish woody. Like the influencer or dont like him, this is a very nice wearable fragrance. Not fresh enough for high summer heat, but any other time.

Great release imo! Spicy, Woody, Pepper, little floral iris comes through. Great dress up frag, not sure id want this in a high heat situation, but any other time it's a full send. It smells really good and has good performance and Sillage! I dig it! No regrets! 8.5/10

I really enjoy how this smells. Definitely long lasting. Dark and resinous, some spice and powdery aspects. Great Scent, Gorgeous Bottle.

Good stuff; to my nose it smells like a every day evening mystique.

The fragrance is great. Unfortunately, it makes me 100% anosmic (nose-blind) to it from the moment i spray it, and it never really return when i'm sitting at home or in a non-ventilated room. My impression is that it does lasts a long time. But to me personally (and i wear fragrances for myself) it lasts 5 seconds. Personal score: 6/10 for me (or a 9/10 for the scent alone). What i get in the first seconds is sensational, and i will keep it in my collection, and wear it for occasions i want to give the people around me a treat. But, as I only get it for a few seconds, i can't give it more then a 6/10 total.

I feel this is what the original Business Over Pleasure should’ve been! I only had a decant of that but it felt very fleeting and short lasting. Smelled good while it lasted though. This, on the other hand, radiates like a monster. Three sprays is more than enough. Immediately had folks at work asking me what this was. Overall, I will spend some more time with it but after the first two wearings, it is a positive experience for me.

The bottle is stunning, like most Zaharoff fragrances great care has gone into the visuals. Sichuan Pepper really stands out for me, and lasts the life of the scent. It's fairly potent, you won't need more than 2-3 sprays in an office - spray away. Behind ears and behind neck. If you lose the scent, you have merely gone anosmic to it. There's an almost middle-eastern feel to it, surprisingly like a slightly dialled down Evening Mystique (you can feel that DNA running through it). I have never had the chance to smell business over pleasure, but there is an Iris within this scent that can be picked up. Spicy & Woody, Sichuan Pepper, patchouli, and amber all hint at a complex backbone. Quality ingredients, despite the trolls you can tell this is meticulously put together and planned. I feel like this suits Autumn/Spring most, although I'd wear it in winter. At the moment in South London it's 35c (95F), and it's a bit much for this heat and humidity. POB leans fairly masculine to me, potentially due to the type of patchouli used, and it projects well for some time off of my skin. The dry down is quite woodsy, Out of all the Zaharoff fragrances I have, this is probably one of the most 7/10 solid fragrances. I prefer Sun Kissed Island over this (8.5/10 for me), but this is a lot more wearable than Evening Mystique, which is now really difficult to get hold of, but the DNA is definitely in there. Overall, it is fairly mass appealing, with a spicy wood lean. It's easily a smart/casual fragrance, it stretches to both work and casual t-shirt. For 60ml, you can't really go wrong. Thick & dense. Coming back to it, it lasted well over 12 hours on my skin. Next load of sprays got me a bit more bergamot, still having an evening mystique feel, and a strong woody dry down.

One of my friend bought it and was going to sell it off for a loss and before he did I had to try it for myself. Have to admit it’s mid at best just like rossito. Smells like insect repellent as some said below and I agree it does. Don’t know what’s wrong with the creator who keeps letting this bully of a reviewer review his house/bottles. This guy going to loose business and fan base because of rossito. I also don’t understand why some of you guys are head over heels for TLTG. He lies 9/10 on his reviews, can not take criticism, blocks and threatens anyone that say anything negative about his reviews. This man is 48 years old stuck in his 14 years old teen mindset with his closeted abusive homo mindset. He literally threatened a member from here earlier to strap them or something just because they said this fragrance is Mid. If zaharoff is reading this hope you know you’re loosing more customer base as day goes just because of this 5’2 TLTG , wanna be athlete, wanna be influencer, steroid taking bop and a racist. I won’t be surprised if he was one of the people that called ICE on his surrounding colored neighbors. This guy Rossito bites the hand that feeds him. Feel sorry for his wife and kids.

Honestly, even if this thing was the greatest fragrance ever made, which it most certainly isn't, it would be a hard pass for me just because of who is affiliated with it. The same guy Ross "Carloss" Carlos, who was just on here telling people to come "visit him" because he's strapped and wants to slap people. Yeah he removed it but there are screenshots of it. I would not support this brand as long as it continues to use people like this as the face of the brand. George needs to do better, this isn't the first and won't be the last embarrassing outburst from this clown.

Also I should let some of ya Ross lover be aware, if you do buy it and get tired of it or just simply do not like this fragrance, you’ll have a hard time selling it and maybe have to let it go for 80% less than what you paid. You can’t even gift it away or give it to someone for free because that would be extremely disrespectful towards them and I won’t be surprised if they end up throwing this bottle at your face for insulting them with this atrocious of a perfume

Signed up to say that the creator of this fragrance datdudejizzle (seriously what kind of name is that?) had a comment eariler but he deleted it. The comment said he was strapped and had enough bail money. I find it very childish and inappropriate behaviour and would encourage anyone thinking of buying this to think twice.

The 5’2” little Carlito also known as TLTG is a paid shill by daddy Zaharoff. This steroid filled wannabe body builder is white trash personified. This fragrance smells like cat piss on a turd.

Great longevity but reminds me of a niche bottle of OFF insect repellent. Wifey strangely enjoyed this on me but I sold it on Mercari for $27 dollars!

Smells like what a 40 year old man wearing affliction shirts like he's a 2008 high schooler with small man complex would wear.

Unfortunately the creator was not honest about how bad the fragrance is. It's a shame people are willing to lie for money.

The scent of the over-compensators.

My apologies in advance for the forthcoming soliloquy. When business over pleasure was first released I really liked Ross. I felt like he was a man of the people, a working man, and overall good dude. Overtime, I feel like he let ego slip into his head, and he is no longer someone I enjoy listening to. That aside, I do feel that this is an above average release. I think that this is a good every day “dumb reach” scent candidate. Nothing groundbreaking here, just a good easy enjoyable smelling fragrance.It is a little bit more Tonka heavy throughout than I would care for, and it leans unisex to my nose which isn’t a bad thing, but not what I was anticipating. I was hoping for more of a bright fresh opening, knowing that bergamot was listed, but unfortunately, my nose does not really pick up on bergamot rather on the listed pepper. The opening is quite short-lived to my nose, literally just a few minutes before the musk and tonka arrive very prominently and it stays quite linear from this point on with no real development or changes. I was expecting a more woody experience, but Tonka and Iris are what dominate almost start to finish to me. It also has an underlying “milky or creamy“ quality to it that manifested itself very early on also leading to a unisex vibe. It is an overall very well blended fragrance totally appropriate for work or leisure. I really like the house of zaharoff as they put out a consistent quality product and feel like they are a top 10-15 company in fragrance (not an insult but a compliment given the great houses out there). I would rank this offering in the top five from their house.

Fresh/Manly smell is how I would best describe this cologne - My wife and ladies at work both said they liked it which is always a plus. I thought this would be super LOUD but I find it somewhat light/fresh. Need to spend some more time with it to truly judge(these are first impressions 1-2days of wear) - I bet it will only improve with time/maceration. I mainly smell the pepper/light florals very well blended - This would go in my smelling like a man/every occasion easy wear category.

Ross and George nailed it! It is such a versatile fragrance. It is a true Swiss Army knife in my collection. Despite the name I can wear it to work. I can wear it out with my wife. I can wear it casually running errands. I love the transitions between the top the heart and the base. It is a true masterpiece and has taken over as my signature scent! Thank you

datdudejizzle is an obvious fake troll account. You can see if you search his other reviews on the site. To me this fragrance is very similar to Roja Scandal Pour Homme mixed with a little of Dior Homme but with less iris. I heard the original Zaharoff Pour Homme is a barbershop fragrance, but I don't know if it shares the Roja DNA.

not sure if this real ross in comments here i watch videos and these comments dont match energy at all but if this really you its kind of embarrassing ross if you have so much money why you care so much about these posts on fragrantica? why acting like this big steroid raging man?

Slip on them jeans with all the extra zippers. True religion T. The sneaks that take you up to 5'5, even though they made you late to pay the rent. 8 or 10 sprays of this heavenly elixir and you ready to bring home a girl with just about all of her teeth.

Little carlos says he makes well over a million a year. Doing what he loves. Scamming people. Ah.. A real piece of work to LOVE scamming and scalping........Maybe Scalp a few inches brother

Apologies for this not being a review but @Grinch, why are you so obsessed with TLTG? I don't really care, I just want to make you aware in case you hadn't noticed. Good luck my friend.

Even if you dont like Ross, nobody is forcing you to watch his channel. Also if you hate the guy, you definitely didn't buy his fragrance and you haven't smelled it. Odd energy.

Look at all the fan boys in the comments section😂😂 oh well, he has transformed into a Miami style guy so who knows, don’t think it’s going to help him keep her though.

Ok yall please stop trolling. Ross and George are great people who deliver quality fragrances and here yall are messing it up for everyone.

Bunch of hating @$$ idiots! Why don’t yall try to keep it classy for once. The fragrance ain’t even shipped yet 🤔🤔🤔

The smell of Ross body odour after daddy Zaharoff has dispensed with him for the evening. NIce colour on bottle.

Oooooh, BoP has always been up there as my fave in the Z Creator lineup. Keen to get my fat snozzer on this one!
