Original Penguin for Men Original Penguin for men

I have this as my winter fragrance. It's very warm, slightly sweet, vanilla cinnamonish, not too overpowering but potent enough that others can smell it through a warm jacket. Reminds me of a fireplace but definitely not in the same way as dior fahrenheit (completely different!) When all the guys reach for fahrenheit I stick to original penguin to stand out! :)

Saw this today at Lord & Taylor and gave it a try.
Immediately, 1 million came to mine..but less fruitier and less projecting 1 million.

This is a nice scent, but again to reiterate many, this is something that smells like other scents. It honestly just smells like a bunch of fragrances put into a pot and mixed together and you get Original Penguin.

Reminds me of 1 million all too much for me to want to buy this. I like 1 million A LOT honestly...for someone who likes 1 million but doesn't want to jump onto the "everyone and their dad has it" bandwagon and would prefer something totally different just so you can say it's NOT 1 million...then go for this. Not bad overall.

A nice scent that isn't earth shattering..and not surprised to hear that it's at TJ Maxx stores. Defintely would be cheaper there than at L&T's.

5.5/10

a nice daily casual scent that reminds me a lot of other perfumes,i like the vanilla in it. will work good for office,longevity is great and definitely a safe buy.love it.
my rank 3.5/5.

Got this today at ROSS for $20. Good stuff. Nice, warm, and spicy. Drydown is very similar to Boss Orange for men. Can't say much else about it yet. I just tried it an hour ago.

The opening was the best part of this easy. It had a cinnimon, warm yet fresh, and boozy...burbon perhaps. Drydown is good but all and all I smelt this before. Maybe my dad has something like this. It's no masterpiece but its good.

Sprayed a little on my hand at Nordstrom's today. I have washed my hands four times with soap and once with hand sanitizer. The scent is still choking me. Very cloying and sweet. I think I expected something more masculine. This kind of scent is very common nowadays in men's fragrance and it's a real shame.

It's at TJ MAXX already! : )

As an everyday fragrance it really works... Amazing longevity.

Still not impressed with this one. Like I said before, it's a sweet apple and coriander fougere with a woody-amber drydown. Many have come before it, and many will continue to appear in the future.

Please don't take offense to this, but Original Penguin for Men just doesn't impress me. It's another sweet apple fougere along the lines of YSL L'Homme. I've smelled this a thousand times before going back to XS by Paco Rabanne, and I didn't smell anything new here.

Not for me, sorry.

Penguin is a classic everyday scent for everyday men. Apple is not something I smell right off the bat. It just blends in neatly with something sweet and cinnamony; creating this warm and inviting body-hugging masculine scent. Pine note is noticeable but not obvious. It's not exactly mature but it's not a teenage scent either. The base is really oriental to me. After a day of testing, this is not a unique fragrance by any mean. It's made as the introduction to their frag collection. I am sure there will be more to come. For those who likes this kind of sweet warm woody scent with some mild spice. This may be worth checking out. Last but not least, it's pretty affordable too.
