Hei Alfred Sung for men

too powdery for me, it was light and really didn't give off a presence

This smells almost Unisex or Feminine at first, but i wouldn't mind wearing it. Remarkably "clean", like a guy who just stepped out of a shower. "Watery" Notes like a lakeside, Neroli Violet are obvious.
Middle notes quiet down to a Musky Firn-like, it becomes spicy, revealing the Cardamom, THEN you realize it's a men's fragrance. I prefer dirtier, bold Animal scents, but this actually harmonizes well with my own body smells, and I'd feel comfortable wearing this Casually day to day.
Alfred Sung is a "Fresh" powerhouse that i like to keep in my inventory for when i can't get away with smelling like a Zoo.
The Dill is there! it adds this buttery texture that starts to pervade, rounding it out and becomes quite obvious at the end. Dill, I never would've guessed could be used like this.
After a while it dries to a soft Aftershave-like Lavender. Nice.
Interesting how it's masculine in an understated, quietly confident way. All of Alfred Sung's Mens fragrances are like that. I'm impressed. (Keep in mind that in Asia, Flowers are often symbols of Power & Royalty)

This is a good little green aromatic aquatic fragrance. I just got a lot of green bamboo, cool mint, aquatic accord, and amber, that's all. No cardamom or strong lavender for sure. It's an well-balanced and zen-like fragrance. Nice to have but you don't miss anything if you don't have it. I think Truth by CK is better in this kind of scent but whatever fits your budget. I use Hei at home or whenever I don't feel like using the top dogs (expensive ya know...) Recently, I just put this little gem back in its original box and I am ready to give it away.

A friend turned me on to this cologne and I liked it but after I started building my collection of fragrances, I don't find it as exciting as once before. It's clean, fresh and definitely a daytime summer/ spring scent. My name is Mike and I APPROVE this review!

I agree with GYPSY PARFUMISTA

I expected aromatic aquatic not fougere when I first smelled this and looked it up, but after wearing it a few times the true nature is apparent to me. The catalog I ordered the 3 pc giftset from described this as a fresh watery-herbal scent and I guess that is true. It is a slightly watery green herbal with an ever so gentle oriental finish...

The first smell is sharp bergamot and lush bamboo with even greener violet leaf and a subtle mint. All the greens are balanced nicely. As the scent opens more the mint deepens into the dill(fennel?) and cardamom with a slight watery aura. The florals are not prominent but add a slight sweetness to the body which is delightful. Closer to its ultimate finish I detect a hint of jasmine (or maybe neroli). The drydown is very light but still there with the tonka and amber taking a back seat to the clean musk and mahogany. This particular wood is not the dark polished wood of expensive furniture but the light rainforest type of smell. A truly excellent fragrance...

Sillage: decent
Longevity: short
Overall: 3.5/5

Sung has captured the scents of nature quite well with this one but like a fresh breeze carrying scent, it surrounds you; full of life, and then is gone, leaving only a hint of what it was and a beautiful memory and experience. I am very glad I got the set because the shave balm and deodorant keep this around longer than just the spray.

I find nothing in common to CW here. This is fresh water in a green setting with soft florals, and has none of CW's depth, staying power or heavy woods...

I just bought this one... and I love it. Its a perfect summer fragrance. I also wish that the scent didn't fade so fast, however that won't stop me buying and using it.

Hei has a special place in my heart as far as colognes go. The smell is nothing short of amazing. Imagine a perfect paradise and clear blue water, a golden sun and a green island. You can hear birds in the distance and the cool wind breezing through your hair. Thats how Hei smells. I suppose this is a summer scent. The only bad thing is the longevity is below average... That is the real shame because it would literally be the perfect fragrance in my opinion if it lasted longer.

I wore this for years and loved it. It really worked well. It was very versatile. Unfortunately, when I ran out and all I had was the aftershave version, my wife was totally turned off by the dill and marine notes and now I can't even wear the regular fragrance.

If I could find something like this without the dill and with the aquatic notes dialed back, it would be perfect.

I'm unaware of this fragrance's lasting power, but I sampled it in an Ulta and I underestimated Hei. It's very nice... an elegant every-day. If the lasting power is short-lived, maybe it's more appealing at night?

(4 Stars)

I stumbled across this fragrance in a local chemist being sold rather cheaply. I was a little dubious at first, however I wanted to buy my man something so I decided to give it a try.

I find the scent to be very similar to Cool Water by Davidoff, I think it's because of the lavender note. I consider that a good thing because both my man and I love Cool Water.

Hei is a refreshing, clean and rather sexy scent. I figured that since my boyfriend already had Cool Water I would buy Hei in the deoderant and aftershave balm rather than the fragrance. When he blended and layered the two it was difficult to tell the difference.

Hei is a fabulous fragrance for those warmer months because it is so light and casual. The lasting strength is also wonderful.

I don't regret buying Hei products for my boyfriend, yet sometimes I wish that women weren't so attracted to the scent. He certainly receives many compliments and interested women when he wears this fragrance.

Lasting power is not the best, but oh it smells SO good when it's on. It has a cool water likeness to it, but it is less aquatic on my man. He likes the fresher fragrances and this one suits him well, the base notes don't have a lot of time to develop because it's not a very long lasting scent. I do however get a touch of amber and tonka bean which I love while its there. I constantly am taking a whiff of it. I prefer the lighter scents on him anyway because he chemistry makes scents TOO heavy so the lightness is good in his situation. If you can't wear light scents then don't go for this one, unless you are looking for an office scent in that case this would work fine because it's not offensive at all.

Very Powdery. It's fresh, but I've smelled better. I was pointed to this by a women who said her man is always asked what he wears.... nobody asked me that, probably because it's nothing special

This did not last very long on the skin. Quite a clean aquatic smell but faded too quickly :(

guest_, you should be specific in which part of the world. :)
