Paul Smith Man Paul Smith for men

For about the first hour, it is very similar to Obsession Night for Women. That one is a bit more floral whereas PSM is a bit spicy. Then it goes into a Dior Homme direction, though without much in the way of leather or tobacco (that DH has). If this is what you're looking for, this is a good deal, particularly considering current prices at discounters/ebay. I prefer FUBU Plush for Men, which is more interesting and dynamic (featuring amaretto and suede/leather type notes), and I have a bottle of the ON, if I want that first hour of PSM to last several hours. I don't see this as more "masculine" than DH, just a bit different for the first hour or so (DH has a fruity quality that PSM does not). Projection ("sillage") seems at least good for a few hours, but longevity seems suspect, unless, perhaps you use a lot of sprays or you want something very subtle.

I was attracted to the fact that it resembled Dior Homme - at half the price. Lovely and incensey but it does not last on the skin. It disappears completely, which is a shame.

This one strongly resembles Dior Homme. But it is more edgy, though does not stay on the skin as long. Anyway it is much cheaper, almost half the price. A bargain !

This is bad, has no good qualities whatsoever... :) Sorry! Can´t believe it is the same person that made Enre Noire! Miles part they are these fragrances. Did she have a very bad day?

I was instantly attacted to this. It starts with the aniseed blast I got from Dior Homme, and licoricey fruit smell that makea you think wow, i didnt expect that! Then it developsan calms, drying down with the patchouli/iris, floral green, woodsy body of Fahrenheit 32.
I didn't like either 32 of Dior homme in a way I couldnt wear them but I'm thinking PSMan might be fit for that spot they slipped past.
It was $25 for the 50ml when I saw it.

good fragrance. may be coz of Yuzu & bergamot this one has a sharp start then settle down to soft spicy parfum!
sillage & longevity above average.

My experience is very similar to yilmazg, so I would encourage you to read his review below. I will add that this fragrance smells similar to those (Fahrenheit Abs. & Dior Hmm) and other recent masculine florals since 2008, but this is more masculine than most. There is a dry woodiness, no doubt it is the incense, that makes this scent decidedly masculine but the powdery florals gives it a modern feel. I think this is extremely versatile as I'm wearing it today on a day when it is 90+ degrees outside and I don't feel out of place. I'm sure it would be even more well-suited for a romantic evening in a cool, dark room (this is just the residue of bad marketing...lol).

It lasts very well - 8hrs or more on only a few sprays - and the smell is very nice and noticeable. My GF responded immediately and favorably to a few spritzes from the sample vial. I think I found my new evening signature...

Poor old Paul Smith fragrances. What happened? This has only been out for a couple of years and you cant go in a discount shop without seeing this at rock bottom prices now. I actually really like this even if the notes are a bit muddled and kind of unfinished.
I love incense fragrances and this one has a strong yet delicate juxtaposition. I do agree with the Dior comparisons but that cannot be a bad thing can it?
It has a very long lasting tonka dry down. I also like the jil Sanderesque bottle. It also begs the question: If this is to be found at bargain basement prices will they end up giving the terrible Paul Smith Man 2 away?

Very masculine Iris scent with incense playing the second major role. This is somewhere between Dior Homme and Fahrenheit Absolute, closer to Absolute. Indeed to my nose this is nearly identical to Fahrenheit absolute. The difference is Absolute gets dryer PS man is more floral and watery. I prefer PS Man.

Incense, violet and Iris make a very nice combination. Sillage is good, longevity very good. The powdery drydown is amazing. After 8 hours I can stil detect the iris note mixed with another note like chocolate. This is one of the best releases of 2009 and one of the best men's florals out there. I like Paul Smith Man a lot. 9/10

Smells VERY like Dunhill 51.3N.... Believe me...very nice sweet spicy smell.... Quite lost lasting one me!

Very nice fragrance - only tested it once but it was very pleasant (Man 2 not very good)

Again, another masculine floral attempt.
Launched as an woody oriental, but to my humble nose, it is rather a reinterpretated classic fougere. Perhaps it is the citrus/spice/powdery/patchouli accord.

"Man" starts strong and a little confusing as the top notes doesn't seem to work together, jumping and give way to each others notes, coming and going pretty straight forward from first application.
At some stage It has a funny "rubber-eraser" smell going on in the background.

Dry woods, anise, iris and violet melting with leather determinates an eclectic revival style to the scent.
I definately smell the patchouli and incense mixed with the flowey undertones which gives the fragrance a powdery scent.

"Man" smells appealing with soft spices, a masculine (thank god) incense-iris, but there is not nothing new in the market. It brings past and present smells with the goods and the bads.
Perfumers should start to invent new scents instead of copying/using the same competition notes or past fragrances.

In any case, for those who are looking for a masculine "Dior Homme", well, this is the answer.
Longevity is good. Projection is acceptable

lovely product i must say.keep it up

I tested this and in my opinion it smells like a sweeter version of Dior Homme. I can definately smell the patchouli and incense mixed with the floral undertones which gives the fragrance a powdery scent simular to Dior Homme. On first spray it is a little strong and the top notes don't seem to work, it smells very confusing. 6.5/10
