Zippo Original

First impression: WOW! A perfume...from Zippo?! Background: I used to collect Zippos and had some from way back in the 50s up through the nineties. The idea behind them (If it breaks, we fix it for FREE!) is something that has made them a worldwide success, and they live up to it. Even though the company has downsized a bit (only 700 employess now, when half of Bradford used to work there)... The packaging: Ingenious! The juice is in a removable "inner casing", JUST like the lighter (recharge kits are available), the tube on the sprayer is just like the wick, and the scent comes out (sprays) from where the flame WOULD be in a lighter! Color me: tickled!! The line: After stopping at the Visitor Center for Zippo/Case, (they merged with Case knives a few years back), since I live in western PA; I found this out-There is a 100ml EDT, a 100ml EDT with a "refill" of same size, a five ounce body spray, a five ounce shave balm and a set with a 100 ml EDT and shave balm with bag. They are not taking internet orders (yet) due to shipping regulations and such...the people there are marvelous and so friendly!! (From the packaging) THE ESSENCE: Bergamot oil of Sicily, Clary sage absolute from Provence, Cashmere woods, Leaves of Indonesian patchouli and smoked Vetiver from Haiti and Java... The scent itself: WOW! I half-expected this to be (sorry to say) a joke. What I found on spraying the tester and sniffing it was nothing short of amazing! This begins with a sheer, bright and cleanly bitter green with a sparkly, almost dry fruitiness. Amazingly fresh! (And not in a "phoney-caloney" way, either) As it begins to dry, herbs and subtle warm spice blend with clean dry masculine florals and remain smooth, as tonka's sweetness emerges to wrap this in a very sexy aura. It is obvious, from the first sniff, that they used actual essential oils in this and not as many synthtetics as most name brands use. This scent is very very well done (not unlike the quality and care they show in their primary product) and I can see this working in any season or for just about any occasion. The drydown is very woody, earthy and sweet. Cedar and cashmere make a great pairing as the dry grassy (not quite "soapy") vetiver and patchouli keep it sexy, but not raw or skanky. Vanilla here is more of a catalyst, as I do not really smell all that much of it, but it adds to the overall yumminess of this scent. Worth getting, and even more so: worth wearing! Sillage: very good Longevity: above avearge Overall: 4.25/5 My only question: If my sprayer breaks or leaks, will Zippo fix it for FREE?!?! LOL I first got the body spray (as it was cheaper, smells very nice and lasts for almost 24 hours) and had to giggle at reading the ingredients! BUTANE (!!) is listed first; but it is in a pressurized spray-can, and they assured me at the Store that butane is only the propellant! I did get a couple samples of this and must say: when I am next up North, I will be getting the Deluxe Kit. Since it is only 15 dollars more than the EDT itself. Rumours: Next they plan on a Zippo Gold for men and, supposedly, a women's scent after that. (In a slimlined "outer casing", no doubt!) ;)

I work in a UK store that sells fragrances at the checkout area as a pushy extra. "That's £3.27 for the toothpaste, toilet cleaner and a hairbrush please. Now, would you like to spend a small fortune on this absolutely *cough* lovely perfume to go with your purchase today?" You know the tactic. We were selling this and checkout staff are encouraged to wear the fragrances that are on offer on any given week so that we're giving out the right olfactory vibe. If it wasn't for that, I would probably have never discovered this frag. Ok, it is genuinely very nice. It smells natural, like it has been blended using at least reasonable quality ingredients. Not too synthetic or screechy and it is fairly soft edged. Not weak, just rounded. Quite sweet and powdery, definitely pushing towards unisex. My partner smelled it and said she wants some! I get the vanilla and the tonka but then it goes all herbal and flowery for me with quite strong tobacco elements which I am surprised is not listed in the notes. It reminds me of Jacques Bogart Pour Homme quite a lot on the dry down in fact and I'm getting more lavender than patchouli. Longevity is still under scrutiny as I've only had it on for just over five hours now. It's still going strong but I did apply fairly heavily. Projection is moderate to heavy for me on the skin. Some of it went on my t shirt when I put some on my chest and it's pretty punchy from there and I could smell it wafting along with me when I went out for a walk. This seems like the kind of scent that a lot of people will vote as a Winter/Autumn choice but I love rocking it in hot weather as it goes borderline beastly in the sun! The lighter shaped container is great too with a lovely 'click' when opened and closed. Refillable as well but god knows where you'd get one from lol! Now here's the best bit: When we were selling it on promotion, it was £14.99 for 50ml and that was a good price. Now it's been discontinued in our store so they were getting rid of the last few.........£4.99! I bought all of five of them. It hurts a little to give my wages straight back to my employers but I think of it this way - "Pay me in perfume!" It makes me happy. Overall, it's good and I'll see how it goes with me after a few more tries. Peace out - Zoop

Some years ago I bought the deo anti-perspirant. What I didn't expect was for an anti-perspirant to have the kind of sillage it did. It projected like you wouldn't believe. From my armpits into the workplace, I loved smelling myself. The smell itself was not particularly unique, as D&G had done similiar scents within the Be Delicious range. Except, this was more peachy, literally... and it was superbly blended. I never got the chance to sample the EDT. Regretably.

This is the badass scent which you'll proclaim for +12 hours as you spray the misty atomizer on its top. fcukin' lovely perfume with kinda seriously harsh performance (in a pleasant way actually)!! No one can resist against this, as it has a + 4 hours of a room filling projection, where all its attendance will happen to love the weird smell on the air...I'm having this as its 4th bottle on my little collection...in my opinion its faultlessly perfect.

It reminds me Animale a little , and some sweetness similar to Black XS from Paco Rabanne. It starts strong with sharp citrus and spices , but in an hour it gets better and more sweet and woodsy. But it has its own personality. The more I use it , the more i like it. I wonder how Zippo into the Blue varies from the original.

I'm very surprised by this one. It pleases me very much. It's kind of addicting even. Love it for its price point, no complaints at all.

At first i thought it reminded me of Playboy New York, but nope, was just the initial blast. Zippo Original is sweet. The vanilla is heavy and dark. The kind of you find on 212 Sexy Men. Is also very nutty. I though it was almonds, but seeing the notes, i guess the tonka beans give that effect. The patchouli and the lavender keeps it from being overly sweet or cloying. They give a nice fresh undertone. The apple is there, but actually very shy. I don't get the bergamot or the geranium at all. I really like it. It's not unique, but a totally safe blind buy, if you're into vanilla or nutty scents. Very winter. Or for a cold night out. Is also serious, without being snob. You probably won't be surprised or blown away by this, cause you probably smelled it before in another fragrance, but that doesn't mean is not good. It is, is actually great, with that simple 'every night' feeling. Is manly without being TOO manly (like Zippo On The Road). I liked it and probably would buy it again, since is moderately cheap and nice. (also, you get the resemblance with Zippo On The Road. They're like brothers, but with their own personalities. One is more serious, and you would mostly find him at a coffee shop, or a night out, and the other - on the road - is more rough and adventurous. It's like On The Road were the day-time-version of The Original. Day Time, not Sport).

I had low expectations toward this, but surprised me positively. Nice drydown, I even got faint banana note, that vanish quicly. Pretty sweet, probably would not wear this summertime, more suited for colder months. Nice, but is it nice enough for rotation, need to wear this few more times to make final call. I say now like, not love. Edit: This is in same ballpark than JPG Le male/Cuba gold, just more floral. Share too much similarities that purchasing this is not justified if owning already one of previously mentioned.

First of all the bottle is AWESOME (complete metal body) and its refillable. It makes the same sound on opening and closing of the cap like the actual lighters. It starts of citric green with little bit sweetness of the apple. After half an hour the citruses disappear and spiciness takes over with still the sweet apple lurking in the back. And finally the woods come in with the patchouli and vanilla. Longevity is decent and about the silage im not sure. Will need to do more work for that. Over all 8.7 out of 10.

ترکیبات غریبی برای این عطر نسبتا ارزون قیمت انتخاب شده و بعد از استفاده و اسپری روی پوست رایحه ی نعنای هندی و شیرینی رو به خوبی می شه حس کرد. در مورد پخش بو و ملایم بودن این کار هم می تونم بگم که دیگه امروزه عطرها رو مثل قدیم تند نمی سازن و استانداردهای تولید و ترکیب خیلی تفاوت کرده. امروزه دیگه پخش بو بیشتر از 15 سانت یه جور ورود به حریم خصوصی دیگران هست.

Bought this once and my gf love it very much, so do I. Good scent but medioker performance. Last 2-3 hour with medium sillage. Used a full bottle, but not thinking of rebuying though. It's interesting, but I'm getting older and need a more masculine scent. Recommended for 25-. Scent: 8/10 Performance: 6/10 Sillage: 6/10 Versatility: 8/10

Just a little update from my previous review (from a couple of months ago). The weather here (Brazil) is getting hotter and hotter, and this one became a patchouli bomb on my skin. VERY dark and heavy vanilla with a VERY strong and herbal patchouli. Nice, but kinda harsh. I prefer to keep it at the cooler weather.

It does smell a bit like gas actually. Very interesting smell, not classic perfume smell, so manly enough. Kinda like it. Got it as a present from my wife because of the bottle :-) I cannot recognize any known smell like all other critics seem to do. Smells a bit aggressive at the onset.

Got this for shits and giggles...didnt like it at first at all...it was u expect....but today put it on as it snowed and is obviously below zero....put it back on while outside etc...boom now it's working great! Only use below freezing mark and your good to go for the price point imo

I really like this fragrance, I use as if it were unisex, it's cheap but doesn't smell cheap at all, modern, pleasant to the nose, fresh and sweet at the same time. The sillage on my skin is moderate in the first 1-2 hour, later becomes rather skin scent.

i pay 9 bucks on ebay, maaan this is really good, is a masculine scent, really good, smell kinda in the range of ck one shock. plus the bottle is freaking cool you have a zippo lighter that smell good lol

عطر خوب و خاصی محسوب می‌شه، من در این عطر بوی سیب قرمز وادویه تازه در فضای آروماتیک حس کردم. It's a good fragrance, and I felt the smell of red apple and fresh spices in aromatic atmosphere.

Great frag... BUT it is similar to something else ! What is it?

One of the best fragrance I've owned.

It's ok, rather decent for the extremely cheap price. Gave it away as it was just not for me.
