Power by 50 Cent 50 Cent for men

I'm sad this wasn't named '50 Scent'...

But that's only because I think I'm funny.

But onto the serious part of the review. This is a surprisingly good scent for a teen market. It's fresh and spicy with a woody base. I found that the patchouli was a little overpowering and was disappointed that the Artemisia didn't really come through that much. Still it has an interesting bottle design and at a such a low price at the moment it would make a great staple for younger men.

I paid less than $7.00 on eBay for 1.7oz bottle including shipping. Figured it was a decent blind by since I love a few other scents by the nose that did this one.

Needless to say, I am considering stocking up on this juice if I can find that deal again. It has good projection and longevity - not on par with my DSquared He Wood Rocky Mountain but this was 20% of the price too. Every man should own a bottle of this juice if you're under 40 and want a woody, musk for evening or colder weather.

Great masculin perfume!
I loved it!
10/10

good cologne for the money

I went to GUYANA in march, on a 1 year yandi-work since my grand-maa past away. also my aunt from USA go to the yandi. after every thing was done she call me and give this to me. i didn't use it untill i reach back to VENEZUELA where i live. so when i reach back i decided to open it.

WOW what a lovely perfume. i smell cucumber mix with sea smell. really nice for a walk in the after-noon i enjoy using this one. last for 6-7 hours on me

it's a pity that in venezuela i can't find it any where. well i will save this one for my special afternoon. :)

Smell wonderful I think this could be a little mor stronger it's not just for black people all race can wear it!!!!! When I first got the colonge it smelled strong still a wonderful Cologne even if it's light smell

this perfume smells elegant and manly, i love to smell it.not too strong

Is it wrong to want this just because I'm a huge 50 Cent fan?:P
I admit though:I love every single note listed and have no problem wearing guy's scents from time to time...

I bought it to my beloved in winter season. He give it a try and couldn't smell a bit of it! The scent was so weak! We could smell a little bit of it only somewhere around us in the room. Scent was ok for both of us. But we thought it would not suit for white man, because black man made it or etc.
Now, when spring (almost summer) came, we give to it second chance. And... wow!!! We are in love with it now! We can smell citruses and tobacco in it. Its weird though, because notes are not indicating such things :)
Just perfect for swagger man :)

This one has the potential to be overlooked as being 'just another celebrity scent'. It is,however, a little better than most. Rather than just being another variation on the generic citrus based colognes it relies more on spices and woods. It opens with a citric pepper and the other spices work together as a whole to give an impression where none of them dominate. The patchouli is not very prominent to my nose, which is a pity as I feel it would have benefitted by having a little more in it. If you can buy this cheaply it is a worthwhile prospect, but I would not pay 'top dollar' for it, $10 for 50ml seems about right.

This was $70-80 when 1st came out.. now its $8-15. I wonder if the "50 cent" part was taken off would this scent sell more ?

got a 3.4oz blind for only 12.99 at Ross. isnt bad but i wont buy again. good for days ur not really doing anything but still want to smell good.

I just smelled it today and what i get is a sharp fresh citrus vibe from this where the notes warm it up and give it a definate edge. The nutmeg, pepper and coriander in this fragrance are really designed to give a deeper and more refined citric tone rather than a fresh chemical lemon, bergamot, lime, orange smell prevalent in many fragrances.

In the end, this fragrance fell short due to it's lack of depth and character and in my opinion i think it is a very decent fragrance but nothing unique or head turning and would more likely recommend this to a younger person rather than an older person.

50 cent did an A+ job of appealing his scent to the younger crowd and teenage crowd of people who love his music, but for an older person I really think this will smell "basic" and I honestly have better colognes like hanae mori, montana red, body kouros, terre d hermes, usher on my mind for the next purchase

با سلام
من که بسیار راضی هستم
به نظرمکمی خنک هم هست
یه عطری که منو یاد پاییز مینداره
بوی برگ تازه میده
با قیمتی که داره ایده اله
با احترام

Smells different to usual celebrity fragrances re usher. Very nice

This is truly surprising..sampled it at the mall cause I read that harry Fremont worked on it. I later bought a 3.4oz at marshalls for around 16 dollars (16.05 to be exact). I cant quite get my head around it. I love the scent, smells good, and is cheap...I know its a celebrity scent, but it is much more complex than the other ones ive smelled (say usher-he, p. diddy, tim mcgraw..etc etc). I know its not much of a review ive given...I guess just sample and see the confusion for yourself.

This will be my next fragrance review on you tube please check out my channel---Mgellie1
I review all types of men's fragrances.

Really good frag period it opens with a candy citrus vibe almost like hane mori but darker. To me it smells like sweetarts with a light spice in background.

I bough this for my friend and he love it...I love it, too

I don't know why I was so surprised that this was an interesting and very noteworthy scent. I guess I tend to lump "celebrity" scents into the "just trying to make a buck for nothing" category...not too mention that, for whatever reason, this flacon looked very cheap to me. Silly, how we/I judge on looks, but there it is. There is no denying that marketing is very important and can shape impressions.
Power is very earthy out of the bottle, with a fresh cucumbery note very prominent. Very vaguely reminds me of NR for Him, but quickly begins to show its spices. As the drydown continues, it begins to take on very minty qualities on my skin...cool and refreshing. This is not a linear scent, in fact it is more complex than I ever would have imagined.

@ FreddieFingers - I think you are very perceptive to be questioning what season this fragrance would fit best. It clearly has some very cooling qualities and could be worn on hot summer evenings, while at the same time has a wonderful earthy spicy quality that would fit autumn very nicely. In the end, I would say this is very versatile and you should wear this fragrance whenever you feel like it. Wear it well, my friend. It's hard to go wrong with this one.

I definitely noticed that when I read reviews and ran the cursor over avatars, many were wearing this scent. It made me curious, and I have been rewarded for my interest. This is different from any other scent, and there are not many in the Spicy Aromatic category. This fragrance definitely belongs in that category, and I have a new healthy respect for "celebrity" scents. I will try to get a handle on my snap judgements, as they are clearly causing me to miss out on some interesting things.

Another 'nuffin spesh' celeb scent.
Starts with a very powerful fruit, if it's the lemon then it must have een a very sugary lemon because it's not sour at all.
Now that the scent is drying down, the sugar has worn away and the lemon is more lemon...ish...anyway, the moss and musk maybe a lil weak, I get no patchouli, personally, but still nice. The spices don't do much, maybe too subtle.

Slightly reminiscent of Black XS, but only for the sweet-spice. Closer to the same sweet-spice Armani Attitude has.
Overall, the scent's nice enough. Could be above-casual of casually corporate.
I've smelt this kind of thing before, but as mediochre as I find this scent to be, I was still very surprised it wasn't, instead, very generic and cheap, which is about all
I'd expect from celeb gimmick scents.

Got to admit I am really impressed with this celebrity scent. At first when I sprayed this on it reminded me of Rochas Lui and a mix of Paco Robanne XS Black for men.

I can detect a slight almond note in the dry down with berries and spices. Nice and woody and not too peppery. This is a great fragrance and the projection and sillage is fantastic. I purchased a 100ml EDT for £15 which was great value for this scent as it smells very expensive.

Power is not your average celebrity scent. it's dark and masculine. Anyway, here's the four ratings that matter to me. remember this is my opinion.

Scent: 8/10. i usually like aquatics or sweet fragrances but this stuff if really good.

Longevity: 7/10. on my skin at least it lasts 6-10 hours

Projection: 8/10. People notice me when i wear this and you will get complements.

Drydown: 9/10. A great drydown. it is simply one of the best dry downs (in my opinion) that i have smelled.

overall: 8.5/10. give this one a try!

some bottles are really very small and i never thouhgt it will be bottle cent. 50 cent is great attractive to the people. i like it and use it

It smells as it's a spicy version of Lanvin L'Homme Sport. It's more herbal, a bit dry, and Just as sweet. I also smell something lemony that just comes and goes like it has mind of its own. I admit the scent is much nicer than expected, and the projection is pretty good. Maybe I will get one when it's on sale or when I am out of Lanvin.

I was pleasantly surprised when I first smelled this on a sample page in Details magazine. Finally, a celeb-scent that smelled different...

This begins with bitter green artemisia, lemon leaves and what I feel must be white pepper, as it is not too spicy. Smmoooth...but sharp enough to get your attention. From there it becomes an blend of herbal corriander and smooth sweet nutmeg with a dark woody feel, like a cool dark forest in autumn. Despite the herbs and spices and the woods, this stays very 'clear' smelling and never gets too pungent. I guess one could compare the end of this to PB, but then again moss, patchouli and musk are quite common in mens scent-bases, and though this is very well executed, it lacks the smooth suede of the PB. The musk is very clean to me, and the moss and patchouli blend into a 'raw' earthy accord that is very intruiging but refined. I agree with another member, in that, this and Zen for men are two of the best fragrances released in 2009...

Sillage: very good
Longevity: above average
Overall: 4.25/5

This is one of those things I sampled and HAD to have, but when I got to Macys, they were out of stock :-( ,so I got Versace Signature. This was actually a blessing in disguise becuase now (6 months after it's release) it is available in 30 ml EDT in _-Mart and TJ has 3.4oz 3 pc giftsets for $24.99(!).

I think some people are too hard on celeb-scents, and everyone has the right to their opinion, but this does deserve a decent sniff...and if it was by Guerlain or Miyake, it would probably have all good reviews, something to think about...

OK LET ME TELL U!!!!!! this smells nice from the SAMPLES but u MUST test it first on your skin because the samples are not really the real thing there just designed to promote this stuff

as for a celeb scent they made a pretty ordinary scent that lacks character or a punch which makes it NOT worthy of purchase

the bottles at dept stores and other dealers are a weaker version than the tester vials you might get as a gift, and the tester vials are nice smelling........and used to promote this gimmick

did i smell the same bottle of cologne at the counter? the power i smelt was pretty weak. it was like a kryptonite-poisoned superman. Plus, the little hint i was able to get gave me the impression that whoever made this just slapped it together. There wasn't any flow to it. As an artist, i've never really took 50 seriously. like jay-z said: "nobody is scared of 50 Cent." but i wanted to keep an open mind. in conclusion: I don't give his scent props either.

Smells unique at first with a blend of berries, artemisia. After an hour or 2 this turns EXACTLY into Polo Blue. Smells damn near identical

Just picked this one up last night at Macys. I didn't even go to buy cologne but I sprayed this one on and 20 min later, I bought it. This is a different smell than any other cologne. Not too much citrus (thank god),snells like dark berries, a hint of lemon(from the leaves), and a base of woods (not spicy at all). I love it bc it is unique, and smells sexy.

I smelled licorish at first. Very astute and bold. However, areal man doesn't need to be that bold in my mind. If so... it should be a graceful bold, not all in your face. I do like Givenchy Xerius Rogue, but this one isn't 1/2 as good.
It was fun smelling it though.

The composition starts with accords of lemon leaves, black pepper and artemisia, a heart of dark wood, coriander and nutmeg and base notes full of patchouli, musk and oak moss. The flacon was created of dark, blurry glass, with a silver, metal stopper inspired by design of 50 Cent's favorite watch – Piguet. This is selling for $68.50 @ Macy's for a 100ml EDT. (I like how he charged 50 cents with the $68 lol

I'm loving this new cologne by 50! I received a sample of this in his cd, and I couldn't put it down once I sniffed the scent. 50 did his thing, when he created this scent to it's fullest! I am a female don't have a boyfriend, but if I did, this would be the one of the gifts I would give to him. Hell, I might just buy a small bottle for myself, and bask in the ambiance of this fragrance all day long! LOL!

Tilemovic, the way you speak, you sound like some kind of drug dealer who makes a nice amount a money a day, destroying the lives of others, so that you can look good. This cologne is a perfect price! Only you would want to pay $250 to make an impression! Who really cares about how high the price of something is, unless your showing off? Oh, i'm sorry! That would be you!

I'm a dissable man and because of my economic situation I cannot afford to buy this excellent cologne for men.....Is absolutely different....with a mix of spicy citrus and patchuli combined.....a delicious result for the man that know the best.

iliked the perfume but the problem is poverty i cant manage to buy it otherwise perfume is ok?gthamas21@yahoo.com

I was very surprised when I sampled this last week.
Very sleek and sophisticated.
I'm impressed.

This scent is not one of the carbon copy citrus celeb scents.

It is very dark unique and rich very dense in patchouli and oak moss.

Kudos to him for launching something very diffrent on the market. This is going to be a love it or hate it scent.

Agree with andy
50 Cent reminds me to something strong, masculin sexy and exotic with spicy notes.
The bottle looks like an engine or motor
Yes! First Impression in his MV 'In da club'
