Christian Audigier For Him Christian Audigier for men

It smells nice when you first spray it but as it dries down and settles there is really nothing to this scent and I think the flashy bottle and gold plating is a good marketing scheme. It seems to me that SO many testers are made to smell amazing at the first whiff so you will buy the product and in my opinion this is a total gimmick

It is a fun combination of fruits, leather and woods. And rum makes the initial impression pretty enjoyable.

A good choice to be used casually.

I think this is a well-made scent for something that could be very cheap upon initial look (bottle, brand, etc.) I bought it on recommendation and was surprised. This is actually, in my opinion, good juice! The top notes of pear, blackberry and pomello liquor really do shine and it dries down nicely. I actually get about 4 hours out of this on me. I apply a decent amount because it isn't offensive - some warm fruity juice on top, nice cinnamon in the middle and a fading base of leather (not a leather scent at all though). This is stuff for the club or a date with a girl you met at the beach - not sophisticated. Not a flacon the deserves a true "crown" like it has - but it is the juice that counts. This is something that I don't think too much about - it's a spray-and-go bottle for me. But, one that I take pleasure in. I wouldn't go work out in this as it is a richer scent. 7/10 and a decent surprise - I recommend to for the 16-30 crowd who has edge (only an office scent if you are trying to pick up on someone you work with). ;-)

After reading others' reviews about the bottle and the juice and this being heavily discounted at the pharmacist's, I took a chance and bought it blind.

After dousing my body post-shower, I was greatly disappointed by the result and regretted wasting my money.

The fragrance is insignificantly ordinary; I smelt the pear aldehyde and nothing else, then it dissipated and disappeared completely on me after 10 minutes - yes, 10 minutes! I then resprayed myself several times with still no effect.

Perhaps it's just me; but I seriously think that whether you never sprayed any perfume on yourself or whether you drenched yourself with this, it would not make a difference in how you smelt afterwards.

Why didn't Ms Caroline Sabas the perfumer and the manufacturers market-test this perfume before releasing it worldwide?

So it's actually ok, not great. Easily forgettable.
It's an easy-to-please, young-guy-hasn't-tried-many-scents scent, because there's a maturing instinct in a lot of boys to start appreciating cologne. This is a good start along with Cool Water, Rocawear 9ix and Aqua di Gio, as they're easy to like when just starting out, but as you nature your senses you get over them.

The blackcurrant/pear opening is a nice enough second step to the usual alco-opening, then development brings orris, cinnamon and oakmoss.
The projection is ok I guess.

My store sadly ceased carrying this scent. We still have a few tester bottles from which I can nab a spray when I'm in the mood for it. I think it got a bad rap in my area. To me, it's very smoky and masculine, and even though it does little to differentiate itself from its brother Ed Hardy Black, it is a solid, manly smell. I dig it. I own a bottle and will probably pick up another at some point. It is, however, one of those scents for which I have to be in an odd mood to wear. :)

I recieved a sample of this fragrance, and I have to say that it smells very good. On me, it's shower fresh, but it still has a fruity smell to it; maybe because of the pear and pomelo. I give it a 4.5/5.

I purchased this extremely cheap intending soley to put it straight on Ebay. However, after reading the mostly negative reviews i could not resist opening it and having a spray. I let it settle for a minute before smelling and....wow, what a pleasant surprise. It reminded me straight away of Ulrich Lang Anvers2 which i loved. It is not as well blended as Anvers but it is quite a decent scent. I probably wont keep it...especially as the bottle is the worst i have ever seen.

It took me a while to get this scent down. It's definitely a wild one.

The top out of the bottle is LOUD boozy spicy pear. I procured a slew of samples of this on the cheap, and gave them to a few friends. One friend gave it back a few days later, cursing me, saying his girlfriend said it made him smell like an old man. He showered it off before drydown even began.
And it's too bad that he did, because the drydown is by far the best part of this fragrance. If you can survive the super loud, sweet, fruity top, then you will be treated to a much smoother sultry, smoky, woody, spicy drydown that is perfect for fall and winter. The drydown verges on oriental for me.

So my experience is the exact opposite of Justin's. The top is truly a chore to get through, but the drydown is nice enough that it is actually worth the wait.
Careful on the trigger...you will offend with too much of this!

As for the bottle, I have no idea what they were thinking. Reminds me of those car scent things that I always used to see on the dashboards of so many inner city vehicles. Thank the stars, I don't have to wear that bottle!

Happy 2011 people!!! Hope u guys have a great time, as I have mine XD

So, for the new year, I kick start with this fragrance review (its been a while since I last did mine, been busy working).

On my skin:
Top: I get musky, sweet-like scent, with that touch of alcohol like scent, which is edible...or drinkable to me, just delicious. The fruity like punches scent is there, but not loud. 1-2 hour.

Middle: The scent calms down, sharp-like green-lean-mean- scent creeps in....kind of synthetic. And some woods pops in, but kind of quiet, I also detect something smoky, but barely detectable. 3-4 hours.

Base: dries down into an amber like scent, with some flower like sweet scent. 1-3 hours.

When i first scent this, I was about to blind buy it. OMG, the opening is fantastic.!

Then when it dries down, it gets cloying, boring, sharp, not nice. BLERGH!

Hmm...this is a tough cookie. When to use it?? I think it is a perfect clubbing stuff. If your skin can hold the top note for 3-4 hours, BAM! this one for sure cut smokes. And that rum-like scent, something fruity could cut smokes.

If you enjoy stuff like black XS, this could be your next arsenal, your AK 47 rifle in fragrance, hahahaha!

Quite loud for work, daily use to me.

Any guys can wear this all year round. College and up. Youngsters can pull this off easily. Kind of funky for adults, so best on youngsters to me =)

The country I am in has no 4 seasons, so it is either hot or cold weather. This works very well on both, but better on the heat.

My rating (base on 5 stars)

Scent: 3( amazing top note, it will be a 5 if the top note could hold a little longer, to bad overall it scores 3 to me, kind of 'done it before' scent).

Sillage: 3 (4 for the top note, 3 for overall. The top note is kind of beastly).

Time length: 3 (5-8 hours on my skin).

Occasion: 2 (a dark horse to me).

Overall base on mathematics: 2.75 /5

Sigh....wish the top note was the middle note. I wanted to love this fragrance, but the dry down sucks to me. =/

Interesting at first with the rum, but quickly devolved into a generic powdery smell. Not terrible, but pretty dull - I'd almost rather it was offensive. Very little in the way of lasting power, and it remained powdery 'til the end. 2 out of 5

This is what my 14 year old son wears...and that is about all I can say about this.

Well let me begin by saying this is 1 of the most tackiest bottles I have seen, maybe it is geared towards teenagers?! But of course the look of the bottle is what got me to sample this frag, it had nothing to do with Christian Audigier's name being on the bottle. So this cologne is youthful, somewhat fruity giving the synthetic vibe of the blackberry note, the woods later on create a more in depth feel, however This frag has absolutely no staying power!! For the price tag it is not worth it! I would say it last maybe 4-5 hours max on my skin... For anyone that enjoys this scent I suggest you get the shower gel to layer the frag with to try & make it last longer. I picked up a 1.7 bottle of this @ T.J Maxx for $15! When this runs out I will NOT be replacing it. Thanks but I'll pass!

Don't know why but when smelling this, I think of the Jersey Shore. :) I can see them wearing this when they get older, I guess. This fragrance is rich but not overwhelmingly strong. Rum and alcohol are too boozy for me at the beginning but they fade fairly quick and stay in the back. Fruits and spices are very weak; how disappointing. The middle notes are more obvious with spicy cinnamon and saffron; giving it an incense/tobacco smoky dryness quality.

As it mellows, it gets a little sweet and smell almost like a bug spray (better than a bug spray I must say) and is actually tolerable. Luckily, it shifts again into a slightly sweet soft powdery scent with leather and suede. At the base, the scent is pretty good (finally) and it stays like this for a long time. I really like.

Well, will I be wearing this? Yes but not very often because it is too manly for such a wimpy kid like me. Maybe it will work better during this coming colder season. We shall see, but good gosh! the bottle is only for a mother could love.

@awesomeness. Special thanks for a nice swap! :)

average scent, nice bottle to make up for it's lack of originality DONT BUY THIS get tattoed by inky its the same type of scent and actually smells better

My significant other wears this, it smells amazing on him. It isn't overbearing yet I can smell him from far away. Perhaps it is a mixture of this cologne and the strong love I feel for him. I am a scent person all the way!

Yes, same smell as something else. But last year browsing at Macy's got a paper sample of the women version of this. I didn't care much but I kept the paper. Three months later it was still there on my desk, and when I got it close to my olphat, BANG, I had to have it. Buy the women version. Great, GREAT.

smelled this today..it smells really good, but it smells like someone did it before..I like it, but I don't know for sure
