Marc Jacobs Men Marc Jacobs for men

The Fragrantica pyramid is incorrect/incomplete. From Marc Jacobs' website, the pyramid is as follows:

Top notes: bergamot, cypress, cumin, cardamom, ginger
Mid notes: fig leaves, rose, cyclamen, water notes
Base notes: cedarwood, tonka bean, patchouli, moss

This correct/complete pyramid helps to explain the nonexistent coconut note that I and so many others detect: It's the fig leaves (i.e., coconut has an overtone of fig leaves, which is why when I smell fig leaves, I am reminded of coconut, and vice versa). That, plus the water notes accord, explains why I and others are reminded of tanning lotion.

This is an okay floral/woody fig leaf frag, but I prefer Heeley Figuier for its simpler composition and more natural tones.

oily coconut, almost like a lotion. It's Feminine. Has a watery moist sense like the humid air near a lake or beach. i dont really like this on me :c

This is very nice! I love it for night time. I cant stop smelling the bottles top alone. It makes me want to spray it eachtime just to smell it on me again but then i would just be wasting it. I get many compliments. Sometihing about it is very gentlemen, young sexy but also clean refreshing and beachy. Not I see people are saying they sense coconut but no coconut notes. strange, even has a pleasant tanning lotion scent. I hope Mark Jacobs releases a Parfum version to have a longer longevity. I also noticed that some bottles have difeerent boxes and some the liquid is a darker yellow while some are very light yellow. They are not fake not went bad. They might have just been reformulated. In anycase they smell the same to me. Wonder if one of them has longer staying power.

Uncommon; I got a feminine tone full of flowers and resinous dry themes. Though it's a masculine one, it can't be a competitor for some works like Yatagan or M7, instead can be a prosperous unisex best seller cause the theme is so luxurious and high level.
It's warm, sharp, mossy, yet velvety and refreshing. It's unique and untouched, I didn't see any copy in the markets yet.

Marc Jacobs for Men is a fragrance that conquers slowly, it is a very elegant and fragrant soap, note that more strikes would seem the coconut ... but I'm not so sure that it is coconut, is a wood and superbly proud that fancy to the senses ... a whiff away
brings me to a seaside resort in summer over a large terrace located on top of a cliff, perhaps around the cypress trees that are leading this wild and pungent smell ...
but the smell certainly does not end here, the bottom is pure luxury is indeed outrageous is so opulent and rich, in essence it's something exceptionally good although perhaps not widely known.
From a ride

Nice, there is some coconut but not overwhelming. A fresh spicy and pleasant fragrance. Bang and Bang Bang are not even close to this one!

کاری کلاسیک و مردانه از مارک جاکوب
گرم و شیرین
جذاب
بی آزار
رایحه ای خوش و آروماتیک
دوام و همچنین پخش بویش متوسط است
برای بعضی که از واکس موی سر استفاده میکنند تداعی کننده آن است
چرا که بسیار رایحه نارگیل میدهد و من مطمئن هستم با توجه به اینکه اسمی از اسانس نارگیل نیامده است اما نت اصلی و رایحه غالب این عطر کوکونات یا همان نارگیل میباشد
Coconut

Best for a nite at an exclusive party at an Asian nightclub..

Good fragrance, have your particularity, but inoffensive, cypress, fig and musk in cedar base, in this combination, i feel something, in light rates, smooth like butter and cacao aroma, projection medium, longevity good, about 6hours.

I have been wearing this off and on for a while now and I have to say I really like this. I too wondered about it not lasting but I have found that if I just give one more spray the lasting effect is just fine at about 6 hours or more for me.

I simply don't smell coconut like other people have mentioned, but what I do get is a very nice waxy floral that reminds me most of gardenias. Perhaps the coconut smell people get or the gardenia smell I get is the fig. I love the smell of gardenia and the "heavy" waxy smell really says summer to me. (EDIT: This aroma has to be the fig.)

Too bad about the reviews here because this is an unique smell and I quite like it. Could become a signature scent for me. On second thought, I am glad for the somewhat negative reviews here...that means not everyone will be trying this. If it were more popular I don't think I would like this as much but since nobody seems to wear this, I LOVE IT!

As one last note, it is no wonder this unique aroma won a FIFI award in 2003. There is nothing quite like it that I have smelled. You must smell this one if you want something that is not ordinary.

if only this lasted!!sprayed it on my skin and in just over an hour,the scent was gone leaving behind a faint trail where i had to really struggle to smell this on myself.

I do love the overall smell regardless of the figs or coconut smell that many are talking about.My nose sniffs out the unusual so it should have been ok but given the price I would have loved to have a fragrance that saw me through at least 3hours.

wouldnt say no to owning one but there are others that offer what it promises for less and longer.

ELEGANT BROODING AND SEXY
THIS IS A SPECIAL OCCASION SCENT
DATES,WEDDINGS,CLUBBING, CHICK MAGNET HANDS DOWN

Marc Jacobs Men é um perfume para o dia dia.
É chic e as mulheres gostam do cheiro. Homens também gostam. Tem um lado meio sujo, meio rustico na base. Particularmente não sinto cheiro de coco, mas já me pergutaram (uma pessoa). É um perfume transparente, light, a fixação dura em média umas 4h. Por não ser forte, vale a pena abusar um pouco mais, e ficar com o cheiro mais tempo.
Não considero um perfume pra noite. É dia mesmo. Combina com bermuda, calor, t-shirt, camisa, praia, cidade, jeans, blazer... Pode até ser usando para noite informal... boteco, barzinho, pizza, sair com amigos... ETC. Atenção: light porem estiloso. Perfumes com madeiras sempre são estilosos e de personalidade. A declaração da última mulher que setntiu o cheiro foi: "...Nossa! que cheiro bom de homem."

I bought this for my ex back in 2005. Its still quite delicious! On him I got an overwhelming smell of the fig leaves but in bottle it seems more varied. It was a nice sexy scent for someone who toes a more "metrosexual" line. As a predominantly women's hairdresser he simply couldn't smell like "man of woods".

Thick creamy coconut butter - that's what it smells like
Not bad at all, but special.
Reminds me a bit of make-up or a female body lotion.

i bought it becos i liked the bottle, but um... i only wore it less than 6x. then i gave it to my female friend. i felt a bit dizzy smelling it, may be because of the "coconut smell"...

Whoa! Very different for a male scent. My first experience...BUTTERY, heavy, earthy. This is not a very pleasant experience. I see many are getting a coconut note, and I can understand why. I don't actually think there is any coconut in this, but the creamy tonka bean is reacting with aromatic cypress and cedar. It FEELS very similar to how coconut makes our receptors react. Again, I feel butter, oily, thickness, nothing really pleasant or sexy. The drydown on the other hand is very pleasant, but by that point it is just a skin scent with no sillage or projection. There are so many other wonderful drydowns, I will not suffer through the top and middle to get to this one. Sorry Marc. Big fan of BANG, though. :)
To me, this is reminicent of Fahrenheit, and sorry to say, I really really dislike Fahrenheit. It is smotheringly heavy to me...its why I refer to it as buttery.

One word:Toxic!

Marc Jacobs for Men is very feminine and not personalities. If you pour some water in cK One and a little extra help to fig, then you will come to Marc Jacobs for Men! I am interested in the smells of fig and MJfM is no exception too, but does not convince me to buy it.
Linear and about four hours on my skin stays not changed much.
If you want it how many times must I recommend testing it on.

How is there no coconut in this? I don't believe it for a second!
Warm, sweet, milky, gourmand. Beautiful. Inspiring.
One day, When I make perfumes (and become an egotistical, bigoted, hype-obsessed designer millionaire :-/ ) I would like to make milky coconut gourmand scent, but I'll muck around with it a bit to make something a lil more masculine and dirty. Maybe with tobacco and leather?
Tobacco leather and coconut?
Look my point is that this has inspired me to take a new look (in my eyes) at perfumry and inspired me to be creative. Of all scents I've lived, this one made me want to actually design.

For the record, I WOULDN'T change this scent, it's a beautiful, unique scent, but it's inspirational.
The projection is pretty good too, I'm still getting wiffs from waist height

From the Marc Jocobs website, i found the pyramid:

TOP NOTES: bergamot, cypress, cumin, cardamom, ginger
MID NOTES: fig leaves, rose, cyclamen, water notes
BASE NOTES: cedarwood, tonka bean, patchouli, moss

sweet，gentle, warm, unisex.

it smells like spring.

this smells so WOW.... really good combination of fig and coconut. it's close to the skin so don't expect big sillage.

This cologne does have a very distinct coconut scent. I usually wear it during the warm summer months. Might turn some people off at the tester counter. I have worn this on occasion for about 10 years. A few women i know cant wait to see if i am wearing this when they see me, are disappointed when i am not.

When I first try this, it appears to be a very weird scent, something like a minty bubble gum sweetness scent, BUT like others said, don't be scared off by this scent, minutes later, the second notes appears and it is very unique and pleasant > refreshing green scent - something like fresh fig / green grass scent that give you peace of mind and I like it a lot, it remind me a lot CK Truth Men. Last note is a mild green musky scent, very nice.

This can be a unisex fragrance as it is not too masculine yet it has a very unique green/ fig scent that works! A very good everyday office or casual scent, easy to carry and versatile.

Longevity is average on my skin, 5 hours plus, the pleasant middle notes last longest! Overall this is a very good fragrance that give you free of mind, and easy going. 8/10 from me. If you are looking for a unique green scent with fig, be this one!

I received this cologne from a girlfriend some time past. The opening notes are "perfumy" similar to Chanel Platinum Egoiste (but not as nice). This quickly fades into a smooth perfume-like infused coconut, which can smell somewhat classy. The coconut is not that pronounced so I don't think it will immediately leap to anyone's mind. Instead they will just think you have on a classy, non-objectionable, light spring scent.

This is not the worst scent in the world but I won't be purchasing again. I voted for like because neutral wasn't an option. However, this is a great spring work scent because it won't offend.

6.5/10

This is an addictive, unisex fragrance. I bought it for myself (I'm a woman) because I love the fig + gingery-spice + lightly floral + woody notes. It's only negative is that it has absolutely no longevity. Within maybe 2 hours all that's left is the faint smell of a favorite soap, nothing more.

Love it. It smells like coconut, woods, vanilla, and gardenia. Just HOW it works on a man is a mystery to me. Usually I would associate these notes with women's fragrances. It definitely does not smell like a woman and will not make a man seem effeminate. It's my second favorite men's cologne after Acqua di Gio.

This is such amazing sweet coconut fragrance...Longevity however is quite poor on me...

After repeated uses,this is now my favourite men's fragrance.Whereas Bleu de Chanel is understated,this is much more intense.It is similar to Equipage by Hermes.It exudes a great quality.

The heart notes for this one are missing here; they are as follows:

ginger,cyclamen,fig leaves,provence fig,
rose de mai and caraway. This also contains nirvanolide in the base.

This is another of those quick, rash decisions I've made and then regretted! One of the discount stores had a 4.2 EDT with deodorant and body wash for 29.99 (!) and after smelling the initial blast, I decided instead on Zirh's Ikon, not knowing the lush and beautiful creature it would become.

This begins with a heavy green spicy scent with citric overtones and can be off-putting (why I did not get it at such a great price), but the heart of spice, ginger, flowers and earthy sweet figs is very sensual, and the drydown is musky, slightly sweet and woody in a very clean way due to the nirvanolide's barber shop type smell.

If you try this, do not judge it on it's initial blast, give it time to mature and dry and you will be pleased (at least I was, after the fact) with what it becomes...

Sillage: good
Longevity: decent
Overall: 3.75/5

This is a very elegant and unique fragrance built around the fig and fig leaves in the heart. If you dislike figs you should maybe pass on this one; I, however adore figs as one of my neighbors had a fig tree in Arizona and to me it's scent is earthy, fruity and woody all at once...heaven!!

Top quality men's fragrance.Very chic,contemporary & elegant.Five stars at least.Excellent product.

for me, it's rather a unique perfume. Very different from other. At first it smells like coconut (i am living in the tropical country), the trace of mild floral remains. Not a perfume for everyone, but sure it's a good one.

hmm a nice scent reminds me of coconut and the tropics however I couldnt escape the scent of greasy cooking oil/tanning lotion underneath?? Plus longevity isnt very good :

Lots of powder. Lots of artificial alcohol-tinged whatevers. This is for men? How about for grandma? Another nice bottle with true crap inside.

A very unusually scent.
Some people may like it, but I smell like a tree when wearing Marc Jacobs Men. Don’t get me wrong I care about the environment, but this...
I can imagine people pointing at me and saying “Hey there goes that dude that smells like a tree.... Yeah and I heard he gets a little too close to the plants if you know what I mean.... Hey tree dude! Why don’t you make like a tree and leave?”

I just can’t dig the fig. I just can’t dig it.

i dont understand the "boring" on the comments ...is a refined and classy fragrance with a new sense of style. Perfect for a formal ocassion during summer and spring.

Love it! Its classy and simple! For young guys who has a sence of style. Not generaly for young guys... ;-)

An uninspired and boring fragrance. Although not listed, I'm sure there's coconut in it. I cannot smell any fig, but maybe there's some underneath the coconut.

Longevity is also a shame. Very light. Actually, it reminded Must de Cartier... like a light and boring variation.

i got this as a sample from macy's & i actually think this could be unisex. it's not very masculine, but its not feminine either. anyway, i have a love-hate relationship with this perfume. at first sniff, the cypress and watery fig notes are soothing, green, and so lovely. at other times, it's just plain nauseating. it's one of those perfumes where you think, "oh, this is weird...but i like it!" i'm still undecided on this one. but i definitely think its worth a try at least, the fig is very interesting here.

Is it just me, or does this smell exactly like Cartier's DECLARATION (the original version)...?

Perfect Fragrance.
Those who love Philosykos by Diptique will love that one.
Opens with cedar and moss, the drydown is fruity and zesty.
I think this fragrance should be categorized as unisex as smells better on ladies and oily skin than men, especially those with dry skins.
longevity: 8 points on 10.
bottle design 9 points on 10.
I love it!

A very boring scent. I don't know why, but to my nose, every ingredients in this bottle combines and turns into something full of coconut smell. So scare of this scent.
