Unbound for Men by Halston

perfect, marvelous, very unique, fresh and nice scent. Only I can't understand where are hiding double pimento and coriander? I can't find them, can't smell them. For me its light not spicy parfume. Recommending.

This one is genius! It smells like it cost over $60 while actually costing less than half that. Definitely comparable to Acqua di Gio, but only in the sense that both are crisp aquatic fragrances with some masculine notes. Unbound is more complex, cleaner, and doubtlessly has better longevity. Great for warm weather, but not bad for winter, too.

I think it's a really good fragrance and strongly different from Aqua di Gio..so much better,than that. Where ADG is too strong and obtrusive is,there Unbound is smooth and fine. Unbound lacks that terrible,cloying citrus blast what ADG produces from beginning to the end. Creamy fig,the light tomato leaf and white birch notes make it like a fresh,spring wind. That's true it's not a heavy fragrance,you can use more from it to last longer (on my normal skin 3-4 hours,but let's remember it's only an EDT,not EDP) But if someone mentions the word "copy"..yes..Unbound's bottle is...a really perfect copy of Ralph Lauren Romance for men..just watch them :-)

Very good and is very cheap for its quality than I would say that is double good.

I do get the ADG similarities. It has the advantage of being a real cheapy AND the disadvantage of not lasting very long even after numeros spritzes.
Maybe Im just unlucky with body chemistry with this one. So if you have the same problem as I do, I'd say that layering would be a great use for this one instead of letting it go to waste.

Delicious opening; very, very fresh. The unfortunate thing about this fragrance is that it completely fades off my skin in about an hour (there's a reason why it's so cheap).

If you've ever grown tomato plants you know how stinky the plants are. I wondered how they could possibly get this stinky leaf to smell good enough for use in a cologne. They did it. Amazingly the leaf is joined by the sweet notes of melon and currants, a wonderful floral note, and some peppery spices. It works wonderfully. There is no shortage of notes to discover in this juice. A mossy & sandalwood base holds everything together, but does not dominate it even during the dry down. Very well mixed accords. It smells like a luxuriously prepared salad-bar that is garnished with plenty of flowers and spices, it's a little bit gourmand in that way.

Unbound by Halston is very unique. To me, it bears some similarity to an aquatic, along the same lines as Acqua di Gio pour Homme (but it smells different from AdG). Although I like AdG I find it rather plain and unexciting, whereas I find Unbound has more character and holds it's own against the best of them (or the most popular of them). If you want a spicy-green and floral scent, and want to be different from what everyone else is wearing, give Unbound a try.

Sillage is average, but surprisingly good for this type of scent. It surpasses the Armani one in both strength and longevity. But if I want to smell, and be smelled, I have to apply lots; up as high as 8 to 10 sprays, or more. Luckily it is inexpensive, so use as much as you want or need. Not cloying, even with a generous application. Thumbs up for this Halston creation.

Edit: I have used this a lot and find it is only an aquatic-like scent in hot weather. On cool Fall/Spring days there is more accent on the floral note, and also the pepper and spices come through better. The cooler it is, the nicer it smells.
