one of my favorite,not all people like it but i think its very uniqe scent.to bad they stop making it.
Not a keeper ... I think I actually threw it away at 3/4 full. I do remember that it set my boyfriend's sister (who lived with us for a while ... blech ... and her disgusting hound ... double blech) into paroxysms of sneezing and watery eyes! That's probably the only reason I kept it around !!!
I paid $20 for a big bottle of What About Adam? I kept it as a reference for the worst scent I'd ever smelled (a title it held till I smelled Secretions Magnifique - but I think that's a joke scent, like Demeter Dirt).
It may be that the reason I don't like it is because I intensely dislike eating raw tomatoes. On the other hand, tomato leaf isn't the same thing as tomato fruit. I've given it to people to test at my place, and one of my friends did actually like it, but most were unenthused by it.
I recollect about ten years ago how this was the first fragrance I saw really very heavily discounted just about everywhere, gift sets were so cheap on the internet it was almost embarrassing.
I'm mystified as to how it ever came to be released as a mainstream big-release scent, when clearly it appealed and would only ever appeal to only a tiny minority.
Which is a shame really. There are probably dozens of carrot, capsicum and bean scents that haven't been released due to the poor showing of this one.

Nice fragrance - can smell the tomato leaf and mint very clearly - then dries down to a musky, almond, grapefruit - a pleasant green scent that lasts quite a while too.
This is a scent I got for my ex husband mainly because of its name ;-) But then it was a pleasant surprise- I recall the grapefruit notes very clearly- kind o sweeet but tarty smell. I wasn't even aware it's no longer there. I can't say I would miss it, just like I don't miss my ex ;-)
Rain. Summer. A kitchen garden. The fresh leaves of a tomato pounded in palms. It is unique and unforgettable. Gentle and poisonous there is some:-)
One of my favorite scent! Reminds me when I was still young and fresh! LOL! Green tomato lingers with a matching combination of vanilla and mint. Lovely fragrance!
Delicious fragrance, unfortunately discontinued. I need someone who can explain to me why this things happen with such delicious fragrances like this or Givenchy Insensé or Ungaro III 4 example...Unbelievable.
The tomato leaf in the beginning seems a bit to Sisley´s Eau de Campagne. And the vanilla is remarkable. I miss it sooo muchhh!!!
My "memory-perfume"...Wearing it,for me,is a very special feeling..Reminds me some good memories from the "old good times" when I was a child. Who grew up in small town or had own garden with tomato plants knows how I mean.When I was little kid my mother went to the garden and I follow her. Her fine sweet perfume (I don't remember what was that--perhaps Impulse Incognito :-)) mixed in my nose with that weird smell of tomato leaves..was so amazing..
Joop! Adam captured that feeling.
Unfortunately this is a discontinued fragrance..
But I love when smooth vanilla is mixed with tomato leaves, grapefruit and mint..Perfect.
I was lucky to purchase on ebay 5 bottles in the last minute :)
Now I have to use them,cause it's not good to store them too long. I tried any other tomato fragrances, but it was the best ( Puma Aqua too spicy,Halston Unbound is too light, but I love, Demeter Tomato is too earthy and heavy, Lacoste Essential sweeter than Adam was).
If anybody has idea what perfume I should have to try which is similar to this one,notice me,please!! ..and I'm waiting for...perhaps there will be a perfume-creator who "catches" again the feeling for me...or Adam will be in production again :)
What about Adam? starts really citrus and minty. The grapefruit is there, along with mint and the tomate leaves.
After that strong start, all you have is a nice combination of woods and vanilla.
Strong, long lasting and, unfortunately, discontinued.
My ex used to wear this - he'd sourced it as it was no longer made.. I love the smell, esp the tomato leaf note. I've just gone onto the net and found a sample for my partner, who is looking for his first scent. If he does not like it I will wear it.
Very fresh scent. Lasts forever! Too bad it's been discontinued. Only available at select fragrance vendors and online outlets.
