This is surprisingly good, and it have really grown on me. Very good value for the money. As a tea-lover I really enjoy the "peppered" teanote in this. Good bargain fragrance.

I admit that I’m not a fan of the original FCUK Him. It’s probably the fragrance I hate the most out of all the 150 + scents I own. It’s a cheap, harsh, chemical & synthetic mess. This ‘Connect’ on the other hand is a masterpiece by comparison.

It starts out simultaneously with fruity & minty top notes. Not long after, a sort of sourness creeps in, but it’s a refreshing sourness, like lime peel. These fruity/minty/sour top notes never really leave and seem to linger in the background during the whole life of the fragrance.

After about 45 minutes, there seems to be an undercurrent of a gentle musk combined with what smells to me like honey. It could be honeysuckle or some other floral, but it really does smell like honey from a hive. Both the musk and honey seem to mix with the top notes and combine to form a most unusual and very pleasant (although quite linear) fragrance.

Yes, it’s a bit synthetic, but who can complain when it produces such a delightful smell! It certainly doesn’t smell cheap or harsh and for AUS $15 for 50mls it’s a genuine bargain.

The whole time I could smell this it triggered a really strong sense of déjà vu. I couldn’t quite figure out what it reminded me of and then it hit me. This starts out like Essenza Di Zegna, and then has a drydown like the new Bvlgari Man. Go figure!

Sillage: just above average. You can easily detect it without having to sniff yourself.
Longevity: above average. For a bargain scent like this, the 6 + hours is great.
Overall: 4/5. It gets a whole point just for being so cheap (otherwise 3/5).

If you can grab this at a bargain price, don’t hesitate.

This differs from the first fragrance on every level. There's something smooth about this. It's such a mystery scent... there are no basenotes listed here. Love it. Connect stands out from the rest, but also holds its own category. It's sweet, but not as sugar... one or few florals, a little spice in there, possibly a flick of citrus. I'll have to analyze this furthermore.

a decent spicey peppery offering,that smells just like something that i cant put my finger on @ the moment.
