Bijan VIP Bijan for men

Just bought this today for my boyfriend. He's been wearing it for a few hours and it smells surprisingly great. I was unsure about how he'd like it or how it would initially smell (though researching it on here did help me :D ). At first sniff I get a smokey cedar and leather scent, underlined with citrus. It's a very masculine and warm scent. On my boyfriends skin chemistry it smells like sandalwood, pepper, and musk. It's not overly powerful but its noticeable and nice. Overall, as an scent sniffer/observer with my nose (haha) I'd say the cologne is a great bargain for what you pay (I paid $15 for a 3.3 oz bottle @ Ross).

In the memory of Bijan Pakzad...
This perfume is another luxurious stuff Bijan's launched.
It's proper for nights and ceremonial dresses.
Opens citric and floral but cool, fresh with a kind of velvety pleasant sweetness which turns to bitterness.
spreads and plays massively and last for long but since it fills your nose, you may think that it's got poor longevity. But in case of sweating it flies faster! So, not proper for hot weather, its peppers annoy.
It's not limited to season and day/ night but I suggest, cold weather and night.
It doesn't display great in hot weather. Also I suggest it for outdoor.
Uniquely smells natural but you can't smell a dominant or recognizable note; maybe a little bit geranium but its mood is leading by lemon.
Just like all of Bijan men perfumes, this one can be worn as unisex.
The bottle follows a inventive design of elegance and luxury.

longevity 6/10
sillage 10/10
scent 9/10

This is not a knockout scent by any standards, but it is a pleasant experience. Its got a tropical vibe due to the citrus notes and it gives you this feeling as if you just emerge from a body of water. Additionally, the woody note that lingers throughout is reminiscent of Tommy Bahama but not nearly as cedar focused; more like an oakmoss than a cedar really. All in all, its a light fragrance and it doesn't seem to be as long lasting or project as well as the other Bijans I've encountered (Nude & Wicked) but I'd still say its an ok cheapie. If you don't mind applying an extra spray or two, plus reapplying after 4-5hrs, then you'll be content to sport this during the approaching summer months. Definitely a spring to summer fragrance.

I love this one! I think, it's one of the greatest scent from Bijan. It's natural, fresh and clean. I smell orange crust and some wood, so it's very magical and original! Too bad, short lasting...

I read in the latest review for the women's VIP, that it adjusted in a nutty kind of way on the skin. This one appears to do the same. I like it, considering it's different. In the opening, it's behavior comes off as a male version of "L", by Gwen Stefani.

I love this scent for my husband. Very masculine. Not sure if the bottle design is manly enough- but love the cologne.
