9IX Rocawear for men Videos

The perfume 9IX by the brand Rocawear, their first perfume, was introduced with license of the house of Elizabeth Arden and it will be available from September 2008. The license by Arden includes both perfumes for men and women, as well as cosmetics and body care products. The perfume 9IX Rocawear is the first product in their cooperation.

The perfume 9IX was created with the house of International Flavors & Fragrances - IFF. Its top notes introduce coriander from Asia, mandarin, melon (cantaloupe), the heart includes lavender, geranium and suede, while the base encompasses golden amber, musk and timber wood.

The perfume is aimed at younger population, aged 18 to 34, esp. urban and modern Afro-Americans or multiethnic clients. Creators of the house of Elizabeth Arden say that they did not have an opportunity to communicate nor to create products for such clients in the last few years.

9IX arrives as 50ml (1.7oz) EDT and 100ml (3.4oz) EDT. The accompanying line includes fragrant bath in the amount of 250ml and 75ml deodorant.

This smell confuses me, it has an addictive smell, that is sexy and bold... it demands attention with a water pistol, it slithers into dreams and causes a psychological dependance. It is dangerous and innocent seeming... it stops women's critical judgement by placing it in a chokehold while rubbing her back and whispering into her ear. While women are left wondering it has charmed her and is kissing her neck... it causes women to follow you and come back... it makes her think about you and desire you... she'll ache to see you again and rip off your clothes. It causes lust in the mind... it is a scent to be worn confidently and with charisma... simply it is seductive and alluring and it keeps her thinking.

A blast of freshness that has just the right amount of spice, musk and fruit to leave the wearer intrigued by its originality. The opening explodes with cantaloupe and mandarin quickly toned down by a rather pronounced coriander spice that though it isn't really profoundly pleasant to sniff at first, adds a bit of grit to the mix and makes Rocawear IX less redundant from the common citric openings and far more intriguing to veterans and enthusiasts alike. It certainly owes something to CK Escape and Kenneth Cole Reaction as far as influences, but goes a much different direction after the melon, leaving the sweetness of Escape and Reaction in the dust for a more watery and transparent vibe like that of Polo Blue but less synthetic.
Using the cantaloupe in the top notes without grapefruit, mango or lemon is an interesting enough concept, certainly giving this some originality but it also leaves it a bit thin, aiding Rocawear 9IX in its quick descent into skin scent within 10-15 minutes of application. Still, 9 IX never completely recedes to the background, coming back in flashes as the musk, suede and woods creep into the mix. The middle note of lavender and geranium never really materialize in this one, giving the melon more breathing room before finally giving way in the dry down to a rather calm musky woods dry down.
Given its skin scent tendencies, 9 IX is best used for more intimate moments to make up for its lack of range. Longevity is around 4-6 hours on average with most of it lacking projection. Nice scent all the same. Nothing exceedingly exceptional to seek out for its own sake, but a very serviceable and unique fresh aquatic that can be found at generally bargain basement prices at most discount retailers.

9IX by rocawear really is a very well done fragrance and the musk, amber and timber wood really create a very alluring and warm, masculine drydown

This is not a fragrance you smell on the test strip and like immediately, it has to evolve on your skin and once you reach the actual drydown you get a great smell that everyone will enjoy

I don't know what your poo smells like, but mine does not smell this good :P
I guess people's sense of taste is different. For instance, there is a indian/arabic sweet made from lentils that is as tasty as baklava but that westerners often compare to the taste of rotten fish. But enough about that, back to the cologne. It's really not that bad and i've gotten a host of compliments on it before. To me it carries a mysterious vibe that you don't find much on the market. Just make sure that you only put it on after a bath b/c the musk gets rancid on skin if you foolishly use it like a Frankish shower. I wouldn't buy it again (it's not worth the money) but i would buy for a nephew or cousin.

Good for the Gen Y's like myself. Fruity like smell, mango like. Smells hella good on the skin.
I rather this over the Rocawear X.

-0.5 for low radius

At first it was citrusy and nice! Then I totally smelt a note of fresh excrement. Not impressed, not happy, but extremely glad I didn't blind buy due to some good reviews. Seriously, don't blind buy this one or just don't buy at all.

When I first smelled this I liked it. But about 5 minutes later there was a distinct scent that I hated. A similar scent can be found in ESCADA MAGNETISM. I think it is saffron. I find it nauseous.
I smelled Rocawear several times just to be sure that my nose was not playing tricks on me. Lo and behold the dry down smells like someone took a little piece of FAECAL MATTER and perfumed it.

I think that this is in the same family as Kenneth Cole Reaction and Polo Explorer- same DNA
My wife thought it was just average.
My teenage daughter like it.

I got this from my girlfriend for my birthday. So what if it's a "fad" scent? What it lacks in dynamics it makes up in character. I mean Cool Water is a "fad" scent and nobody really wags a finger at it (even though it smells like dollar store potpurri!!!), but when a celebrity comes out with a decent, virile cologne, everybody thumbs their noses. Personally this is a great scent and my girlfriend can't get enough of it and once my 1.7oz runs out, i'm buying a 3.4oz.

Edit: I had this and cool water on different forearms at 2:00pm, seconds apart from each other. It is now 9 o'clock and I can still smell 9IX faintly but i can't smell cool water at all. Can you say "longevity?"

Starts off sweet and fruity, The citrus note would be the cantaloupe more obviously than the mandarin, its not strong citrus. Then the drying down leaves the masculine, musky wood accord. A young scent, definitely for teens and young hearted souls.
One of my favourites.

I think we should all keep in mind, this fragrance is licensed to Elizabeth Arden. What that means to me: Every fragrance I have loved that I found was licensed to EA has turned cheap on the re-release. I bought Hummer and it was gorgeouse, the second bottle I bought was nowhere near the same, almost undetectable. The exact same situation occured when I bought Britney Curious, or tried Usher He, Dirty English and Rocawear 91X. So essentially, if you've owned it and loved it once, leave it at that, because chances are, it won't be anything like the first.

What I suggest: if you find, one day, tht 9IX isn't what is use to be, try Nautica Voyage. It's pretty close with the aquatic notes, though it isn't aimed at the teenage crowd.

I disagree. I don't think this is juvenille at all. My hubby is 33 and he wears this, it does not smell "young" or "teenage" at all to me. He used to always wear Drakkar, which I feel is somewhat of a classic male scent, and when he tested this one, he liked it also. I think it is a very nice, sexy, smell. It's not too "out there" like some colognes you can almost smell from a mile away (these are the ones that seem more "teenage" to me, the ones that smell like guys/men bathed in them, because that is what teenagers sometimes do) You have to get somewhat close to him to smell it, and when you do smell it, it just makes you (or at least me) just want to get closer to smell more of it! This is what exactly what a good scent should do, in my opinion. It should draw you in, and make you want to come closer. That's what this scent does, and I love it.

This is a very young, juvenile, teenage cologne! Its fresh, sweet like Pink bubble gum to my nose. While it wont offend anyone, O 1 should be so lucky! Also may I add it does not last long either, if this is what your into for a frag, than I suggest go for what you know. I wont give it a thumbs down, but I am going to give it a neutral rating on the more thumbs down side.

I really like this scent! I think it smells fantastic on my husband, it's different from other colognes, after he wears it for a little while it doesn't smell too spicy or sweet, it just smells good, I want to hug him every time I get close enough to smell it!

this is one pungently intense sweet spicy scent i smell before.

I like the top notes, but not on the end notes. it is too sickly sweet and spice at the same time.

I watched this product fly of the shelves. So i bought it. I can honestly say that this is one of the best summer Fragrances that i have tested. It has a very calming Alluring effect on women. Not sure but if you take a deep breath. It makes you stop and think. Its was Fruity, but something interrupts the melon all the way through the notes. I believe its the coriander, and where its placed is perfect. Im not much for fruity Colognes, but this one definatley sits on top.

I didn't think it was too strong. When my Hubby wears it, I can sense a touch of some spiceness at the beginning, but it dries down to a kind of sweet smell.

Really strong and unappealing at first, but then dies down to smell much sweeter. I think the strong musk/spice scent at first application is what makes me not a fan of this cologne. I shouldn't have to "wait" for a good scent.

It has an almost metallic aftertaste, much like paco unisex has. It lingers in your nose. It's fresh no doubt, but not intense so much as to cause a gag. It lasts a while from what people tell me, but I can't tell. Still a good buy/
