Wings for Men Giorgio Beverly Hills for men

I have to mention EAs Wings relaunch. Its basically identical to the original. Bravo!

The bottle reminds me of an airplane controller with its big siver cap and blue bottle. Its inspiration was Cool Water without the aquatic note. Thats a Great thing! Instead it heads into its own class-the "ariel fougere". Its very airborn.

The hesperidic opening opening leads to the clean "fresh laundry" heart that in warm weather is perfect. Its pool side fruity drink indulgences. Yes, I pick up the sweet tarts and dryer sheet notes. In its day, it was fashionable. Today, it seems confusing. Its incredibly youthful and sporty.

Its Howard Hughes California. Big and extravagant...

Not enough note separation and a clearly "synthetic" quality results in nasty olfactory sensation, almost like being stabbed in the nose. It screams "cheap fragrance" to those in the know. Fortunately, there aren't many people like that, so spray away with abandon and gather those compliments from the "common folk." No need to worry about impressing a few "perfumistas," right? There are lots of fragrances like this, so I suggest trying to find some vintage Ungaro III if you have any aficionado aspirations.

I like those old-school definations of fresh scents.
They all have the similar vibe to it, just like the 70's and 80's spicy scents does.
This one is similar to Cool Water, L'eau d' Issey, Polo Sport. It has a bit washing powder scent, but in a good way.

Wow, this was one of my daily high school fragrances back in the 90's. I rememer coming back home from my classes after 6hrs plus,and I will smell like this stuff...Its strong, but not as overpowering like other stuff from its era. You can smell the citrus in it and the drydown was smooth on me.

I bought this a year ago. It smells extremely fresh, sweet and aquatic. Its soapy but at the same time sweet-candy like. This is CK eternity with a touch of Cool Water. I liked it but wasnt overly in love with it. I considered it a lil too synthetic and too powerfull for my nose to bear with. Its a cheap but good smelling fragance. Longevity and projection with this guy is INSANE!!!, 10 plus hours and extreme sillage, this guy will get noticed!!!. Overall 7.5/10, extremely versatile and very good longevity for a cheap fragance.

I guess this is fresh enough. But I can't help thinking of the "Giant Chewy SweeTarts" treats. I won't wear this.

This perfume smells weak. I hardly smells any smells from this perfume. I bought it online. I intended to give to my hubby as a gift, after testing its smell. I threw it to trash can

Wow, this is a really super fresh/clean scent. Imagine taking a lavender scented dryer sheet and soaking it in Davidoff's Cool Water. Then you'd have Wings.

It definitely has that Cool Water vibe, but Wings is brighter and sweeter with much more lavender. It's like taking Cool Water's top notes & multiplying them by 10. And as I said, if you like the smell of fabric softener, or dryer sheets, you'll love this one. I can see where it's brightness may not be for everyone, but personally I really like it, especially when I want that "just washed", super clean smell. I'd definitely recommend this one as it can be had very cheaply. It's certainly worth the price.

Also, if you like fresh fougere scents (like Cool Water, Aqua Quorum, etc., you'll enjoy Wings. I'd rate it below Cool Water, but much better than Aqua Quorum).

I love this and after first discovering it as a teenager when one of my (male) friends wore it I still to this day occasionally wear it myself as a daytime perfume. fresh and breezy.

I, being a resident of Trivandrum, Kerala (India), a hot and humid area, could not really appreciate any perfume, much extolled by others especially in terns of silage and longevity. Of late, I have bought a 100 ml bottle (tester) of Wings for Men by Giorgio Beverly Hills, from Ebay. Surprisingly, it is totally different from the usual short-lived stuff!! Linear,though (I am unable to identify the different fragrance notes in this),the fragrance lasts, at least for 6+ hours and the silage is above average. After 2-3 hours, the smell gets closer to the skin.It smells good for me (At least in my case), I have not come across a better one till today
Overall rating is 75%

Fantastic review Gypsy!

Wings for Men is a scent almost everyone has smelled (at one time or another), many guys had and wore (way back when) and really liked. Today, though, it seems to do so is almost "faux pas". I, myself, am guilty of testing this just a few months ago (sprayed in the box...BIG no no!) and saying: "Eeee-eeww!". Now, that Lana Lool was kind enough to give me a full sprayer sample, I wish I had bought that 50 ml bottle...as it was very cheaply priced.

On the initial application, the differences to another very popular blue bottled scent are readily apparent. Wings for Men has citrus, and is much "brighter". Warm clean lavender takes the sharp edge off the citruses and the neroli adds a bit of a powdery floral aspect to it. The heart beats with geranium's dry elegance along with the herbal accord of corriander and sage. These tend to hide the more feminine florals of muguet (light, but detectable) and jasmine. Something in the heart notes tends to turn ever so slightly sour on my skin, but it is nowhere near unpleasant. (This stage reminds me vaguely of Eternity men by cK) This smells much better than it did to me then (on that waxy box liner), and even better on skin than paper. The drydown is a long time coming and so worth the wait. Here be oakmoss! (REAL oak moss) It adds a fuzzy green feel that is made even more beautiful by dry cedar with amber and musk. Tonka, normally more sexy and warm, here is richly grassy and smooth. This scent is very balanced and well-blended. Think what you will about this Design House...Wings for Men is definitely a classic and worth having, wearing and keeping around.

Sillage: very good
Longevity: great
Overall: 3.75/5

Wings may be a silly name, but it does catch the feeling of beautiful blue skies, warm summery days and feeling "free". Do I feel like donning a pair of white jeans and leaping shirtless into the great wide open?? Nah!...but I do feel like going "out" and enjoying a nice warm day and just hanging out or having some fun! An excellent scent for spring and/or summer, that does not fade too quickly with heat, and does not become "too much" with some humidity. This bottle is so ergonomic, it feels "right" in one's hand. Sheer dark cobalt glass crowned with smooth round silver catches the juice inside quite well, actually: most excellent!

I'm a fan of Giorgio, Red and Wings. All are strong but lovely fragrances that do best a little bit at a time - the scents are bright but sharp & mellow out nicely on the drydown but last a long time.

I preferred Wings For Men more then Wings For Women & used to wear the men's version as a perfume in the mid-1990's. I don't wear it anymore but I still like it.

A "cheapy" but still a goody.

Wings for Men by Giorgio Beverly Hills(although the new bottle I just bought doesn't have the GBH logo anywhere on the packaging or bottle)is a clean, fresh scent. It only smells a little like laundry detergent right out of the bottle. Not too strong. Not too citrus. Not too floral. Not too musky, and not too ordinary either. There is a very faint candy rich sweetness to the middle, but not sickeningly sweet like a lot of the vanilla scents out there. Nothing stands out too much for me. It's a nice blend.

It suits the prolonged warm to very hot weather here where I live that lasts from early Spring to late Fall. Good for day use. I use it on the most casual of days, and it lasts and lasts even in the heat. I would not recommend it for the office or evening as the scent is a little indicative of the cost.

This is fabulous. Similar to Cool Water but the drydown is, I think, fresher, with some candy, it's MUCH better than CW and has more character. This is a bit aquatic too! Longevity and sillage are both top notch. I love GBH fragrances and this is a really great summer fresh scent for men...it's really gorgeous!!

Indeed, this is "Cool Water on steroids" ;) Very aromatic and aquatic at the same time, long lasting cologne great for spring and summer time. It is not unusual but very refreshing and thanks to its longevity and decent price it is a much better option than other fresh men's colognes which last shortly. I will give it to my hubbie this summer. A woman can wear it, why not as it is a very comforting and invigorating at the same time, probably great after a tiresome day to boost one's energy, but the smell is evident to be a classic masculine, at least on my skin it turns too masculine, even though I'm a gender-bender.
In the heat however, this fragrance turns nasty on a man. Ghastly even.

Why anyone would call it a fresh scent is quite beyond me. This is a brilliantly undefinable cologne which combines fougere with gourmand; yeah, really. Delicately sweet and radiant, it's GBH's best creation on a par with the almost edible Giorgio.

One of my all time favourites. I call it "Cool Water-on-steroids"...but in a good way!Last week I noticed my boss at work catching her breath and taking a deep breath in while standing next to me!Hope thats a good sign! Started using this about 10years ago and always come back to it.Love it...I actually had to work up the courage to ask a male flight attendant on a long haul flight what he was wearing the 1st time I smelt this...thats how amazing this fragrance is!

Really powerful one! At first I wasn't crazy about it, it seemed overpowering and maybe a bit too "80's" style. But then I found out it works amazingly well in summer when it gets very hot. Amazing sillage and longevity (12+ hrs). The scent doesn't change at all even when you are sweating... :)

4/5 from me

5/5 in very hot weather

my wife uses wings for women,and decided to get me wings for men.at first i hesitaded with a name like wings,but i decided to give it a try.the citruses in the begining give it a fresh opening,after an hour and a half the florals kick in complimenting the citruses,two hours later the florals wind down giving way to the base notes.i'm truly surprised,its been eleven hours and a bath and this scent still lingers wonderfully in 90+ weather.get it,even though the name sucks.ciao!

This smells wonderful on a man!!!! I had to chase a guy down to ask him what he was waring-Wings by Giorgio, very surprising. Nice deep clean scent!

i used to like wings back in high school. i had some left in the bottle, i tried it on again & i feel like i can't ever use it again. just to strong for me now. i'm neutral on this one. i neither love nor hate it.

A light, warm-weather fragrance which has the distinction of being fresh, but at the same time rich.

It makes the likes of Coolwater and its ilk seem soulless and insubstantial by comparison.

There is a candy-like sweetness to this one which is toned down by lavender and the other fougere elements (oakmoss, tonka beans and woods). The result is a fragrance which is airy without being vapid.

In addition, it lasts substantially longer than other fresh fragrances I have tried.

A great one for summer!

i gotto say this is probably the BEST fresh scent im definately gonno get it at some point when it turns to summer its amazing

for in case u havent heard of this stuff.....its the BEST fresh scent and if it was on the scent counter nobody would buy the other scents because this is just that much better

its fresh hip and invigorating
