Corduroy

Very surprised with this one. I did not expect much for the $14 (2.5oz) I paid online. But the moment I did 2 spays on the chest I was like "this does not smell like a $14 cologne... it's so much better." Best of all it's a unique smell with a nice blend of nutmeg and cinnamon making it an ideal fragrance for this time of year - autumn in New England. Kind of reminds me of when I visit my parents on the weekend and mom always has something baking. Despite its notes, I don't see this as a gourmand because there is something kind of soapy, at least on my skind, maybe it's the lavender. Corduroy will go perfect with my classic Levi's denim jacket and a flannel shirt, and a pair of my worn out, comfortable jeans I like to wear on the weekends. I don't think it's a safe scent because it does get some hate here for some reason. Nor is it much of a work scent or date scent... there are much better and safer options. But for a lazy weekend or just chillin' with friends, it's perfect fragrance that WILL get noticed (good or bad). All in all, it's cheap (price wise) and it really is a unique scent. Therefore, if you're a collector, it's a no brainer for your collection. Lastly, the performance is much better than expected for the price. Thus, I can see this as an autumn signature scent for the right guy. Despite the heavy nutmeg and cinnamon it is indeed masculine, and far from unisex to my nose. There is something very masculine about the composition according to my wife and her female friend. After all the ladies have a better nose than most of us guys.

Very well blended gourmand fragrance with all it's spicy elements working well together. Nothing synthetic or alcoholic smelling here, even on first spray. Nutmeg, cinnamon and sandalwood are the most prominent notes here but are not harsh or overbearing as sometimes they are in other fragrances. Think light dutch spiced cookie soap. Delicious but you want to bath in it! 6.5/10 fragrance 5/10 sillage 4/10 Longevity Took points off for sillage and longevity. Also because I could not smell any of the citrus notes which is a shame because if they were as prominent as the spices it would be a bomb of a fragrance. So the obvious thing for me to do was to layer this with a citrus but I found it hard to find one that didn't create a utter mess. Then found the only one that did it justice. Marc Ecko UNLTD The Exhibit. Wow! What a combo! Even more of a gourmand, you just want to eat it! The Exhibit's pure orange skin scent is perfect for Corduroy's spices. They blend effortlessly together to make a knockout fragrance that everyone who smells it has complemented me on and that is no joke. Also combined they last between 4 to 6 hours which neither can do on their own. 9/10 for the combo.

I see y'all are voting with the 'like' button on this one and I thought, 'Hey...where is the love??'. This stuff is great! I guess I'm a sucker for nutmeg, muted though it is here, and cinnamon and tonka bean. Mmmm...tonka bean. To be honest, I wouldn't know what a tonka bean was if it bit me on the ass, but I have learnt to identify a warm vanillic tobacco smell in many of my favourite masculines. I love what Inselaffe says about the 'hollow accord'. This stuff is a bit weird...like maybe it has something missing? Or maybe it doesn't quite know what it wants to to be? 'I'm fresh...no I'm warm...wait, I'm fresh...oh I dunno.' For the price though you can't go wrong with Corduroy. Going cheap in a discount store near you now!

I really like this. It's subtle, reassuring, clean, slightly woody and slightly powdery. It has some sweetness and almost smells a little floral at points but stays masculine with the sandalwood and subtle spices. Stays quite close to the skin - at times I thought it had disappeared - but it gently projects for 5+ hours and lasts beyond 7 hours. Lovely stuff. Great for the price and an excellent everyday casual or office type fragrance. Persistent but never overpowering.

This smell is so alluring and mellow on my husband. It evoked the same reaction I felt when I first smelled Soft Blankets by Yankee Candle. I kept on wondering what terrific fragrance this was and pondering what notes combined to make such an attractive and approachable scent. It is warm and wonderful. It has good longevity and sillage. It is also very affordable. I just wish it came in a cologne rather than eau de toilette.

I like this very much .. my sample seemed to last longer since today I sprayed myself many many times and less then 1 hr later ... gone - sigh Too bad .. it's a very nice scent - and it was cheap cheap, so I can spray away but won't repurchase I'm a sucker for cardmomon and guaiac scents and find that men's fumes have the kind of smell I love (I'm female)

Really rocks!! I got today! Smells so sweet and nice. How can you not love this!?? AAAAHWW its like the best. It reminds me a bit of Bvlgari Black as some others have said. It comes off as very unisex as well. I enjoy the sweet and almost *cake-like* smell. I highly recommend! On 1 to 5 star rate, I give it perfect 5.

its a very nice spicy fresh scent and very sexy. the cinnamon vanilla drydown is blended with suede to make a more masculine version of JPG le male pi givenchy, and although this may smell unisex women love it and it has the great smell of many oriental scents without the overpowering feel and high cost

this is a good scent and it definatley is more masculine with the suede and notes I would highly reccomend this scent it is rare and less known and great smelling you will not be dissapointed

با سلام به پارسی زبانان باکلاس این کار برای بنده یک کار فوق العاده است . کلا کارهایی که جوز هندی دارند رو استفاده میکنم و این کار از اون کارهاییست که هر وقت میزنم بهم حس آرامش میده

Corduroy by Zirh is a beautiful scent. I wore it this morning and I smell soooooo good. I will be wearing it very often. It smells yummy.

Blind to buy from website,It's quit nice.Cinnamon open and nutmeg cardamon after. Soft wood smell.I love it.Good price and good one.

A unique fragrance! One of the best masculine fragrance i ever smelled. It draws compliments and i love it

To good to be true...obviously one of my top favs. Great~Vibes can’t go wrong super solid👊🏻😊

A yummy, cookie-like smell that is great, but fades way, way too quick.

One of the nicest affordable oriental/woody spicy fragrances on the market, though it's becoming harder to find because Zirh has changed corporate hands so frequently in the last few years and seems to be moving away from the fragrance game. Still, you can sometimes find it still at discounters across North America, but not as frequently as a few years ago when it was ubiquitous like Beverly Hills Polo Club is now. Before buying this blind, do know that projection is extremely soft and subtle on this, even spraying rather liberally will have little effect. As SAMaura notes below, this is extremely muted. That is the perfect word, there's a halo around the scent that simply doesn't allow it to be accessed fully. Longevity for me is very inconsistent, I never get more than 5 hours with the majority of wears dying out somewhere between the 3rd and 4th hours. The scent itself is perfect for daytime casual and work in late fall, winter and early spring. It won't impose on anyone and has a nice warmth to it that is soothing and relaxing. Nice, sexy blend of warm winter spices. The nutmeg, cinnamon and cardamom pair nicely on top and blend very well with the soft and gentle vanilla and tonka accords here. The whole piece taken as a whole is nicely blended and none of the notes here really dominate or overly-assert themselves. Doesn't smell synthetic despite its affordability and can easily be worn by all ages. If you can look past the deliberate subtleness of its essence and appreciate Corduroy on its own terms, this is a solid and nice blind buy that will get you compliments in close-quarters and cheer you up in the darkest days of winter. Good.

What a great scent for the price and just a great scent regardless of price really ! This opens up with a fresh and nice but not overbearing grapefruit note mixed with some very warm spices and some creaminess in the background making this a fresh,but smooth and slightly spicy scent that’s very warm and cozy. I was very surprised because this is very well blended and it has notes that you think would clash but they go together very nicely. My favorite part of this scent is the grapefruit as it adds a very nice touch of freshness ! This is pretty linear but once it dries down you do get more of the sandalwood and vanilla and loses some of the citrus but the citrus surprisingly hangs on for the duration of the scent. Also this smells really nice in the air as all the notes really harmonize with each other while on skin in the drydown you get mostly vanilla,nutmeg and sandalwood. My fiancée did like this ! She said it wasn’t her favorite but it was nice and it was a very cozy scent. Performance was decent as it lasted 4-6 hours but only projected moderately. With how good this smells I do wish it projected just a little better. Overall rating -7.5 out of 10 ! Sidenote— on my skin this smells like a mix of Yacht man chocolate and Bvlgari Black. I do prefer this over both of those scent. This for sure has earned a spot in my cold weather rotation.

This is actually well done - it is entirely synthetic but still manages to be interesting enough to wear out on a date or maybe a casual event. It opens with a sharp citric note before taking on a sort of wooded powder note (I assume it's a lavender and tonka accord mixed with the cedar/sandalwood and cinnamon/nutmeg accord). There isn't a whole lot of differentiation in notes here and it kind of smells linear in its 8 hour life - just a sweet and woody powder with a hint of floral. I would wear this more on a rainy or cold day as it projects rather loudly in the heat and picks up an odd note. Over time, there is a wonderful white musk note that accents the wood and spice elements of the fume and takes it on home! This is a simple, cheap, and competently made fume good for days where you want a break from the powerhouses in your collection. I hope you all have a productive day!

When I wore this scent for the 1st time and read some reviews at Fragrantica and Basenotes, I saw too much comparisons with Bvlgari Black. Particularly, I didn't see any similarity with Bvlgari Black, which I also have in my personal collection. This is more discreet, subtle, however engaging. It is a cologne for the skin, not the environment. I must confess that I rather the last option (LOL), but Corduroy delivers what it promises. It leaves a creamy and vanilla base that lasts very well. The problem is the lack of projection. After 2 hours on the skin, you think there is no more cologne. But don’t be foolish! It was on my skin for about 10 hours. For its price, it was worth it! But I don't think this is a scent that I go restore in the future, unless I go falling in love as much as I wear it.

I think Corduroy is a very well blended fragrance for men and very affordable as well. I like this fragrance because i can easily pick up the layers of this scent. Its a nice smooth nutmeg and cinnamon scent at the top that has some woods and grapefruit. I think that the base notes dry down into a similar scent as Versace Dreamer and i notice that they contain a few of the same notes as well. If you like smooth spicy scents then you may want to give this a shot. I think a more matured gentleman would hold this scent in higher appreciation than a teen or a younger guy. I think this would suit Fall and Winter the most. At this price,you can't go wrong, so give this little gem a try :) I bought my bottle for $9.00 online :) So far this fragrance has lasted on my skin for about 8 hours :)
