Chaps 2007 Ralph Lauren for men

As a lover of the original RL Chaps, I was very disappointed in this newer version. It just doesn't have that same strength and masculinity that the orignal has.

To be fair, it doesn't smell terrible. It probably smells great on the right guy. But the original is far better!

A rather generic, standard and formulaic release exclusive to retailer Kohl's, Chaps offers very little unique or original in its formulation, relying on a rather well-trodden note pyramid but still managing to smell rather pleasant regardless.
Chaps is attractive enough for the casual consumer not familiar with the already hundreds of its fore bearers on the shelves. A musky aromatic fougere with sweet mandarin oranges against lavender and herbal synthetics on top, Chaps quickly dries down into a musk and amber scent and a blending of spicy middle and base notes.
One could do much worse, certainly.
Longevity is around 3-6 hours with a bit of variation based on the chemistry of the wearer and projection is fairly solid for its price.
A fragrance completely lacking in personality and originality, but despite its shortcomings is still a rather serviceable cologne for casual wearers and a younger audience generally unfamiliar with range and depth.
