Usher VIP Usher for men

to be honest I tried 1 spray on my wrist and after an hour it seems to smell like a ladies perfume. I think its a bit sweet and synthetic and it has a few offputting note that completely make it unpleasant.

like a lot of celeb scents this was MADE IN A RUSH to get a scent out there and it did not have enough careful precision to get everything quite so well blended and so it is just another gimmick and most of the money spent on the scent goes towards the fancy bottle design instead of the scent

and alright smelling perfume.

خیلی شباهت داره با فارنهایت ولی یکم لایت تره.ولی ته بوش فرق داره و خوشاینده.دوستش دارم.

This is Fahrenheit rebottled and packaged as Usher VIP. Does this deserve a thumbs down? Possibly not, but for me, I say YES! Why? Although this smells like Fahrenheit, it's essentially a lighter version of it, much lighter, almost like a Fahrenheit summer. Lighter for me means lousy longevity. I get 2 hours tops with this. 4 hours if I choose to douse myself. Is it more wearable than Fahrenheit? I'd say yes, but for me, Fahrenheit does this unquestionably better and it should, I mean, it's the original! I love the dirty, petrolium, leathery vibe from Fahrenheit, its fantastic! VIP, on the other hand, is toned down and not as brash or offensive. It's just another pleasant, boring, mainstream cloned scent. Either way, this is just another waste of time and money for anyone who owns Fahrenheit and loves it, but I suppose if you hate Fahrenheit, then give this a shot. It might be for you.

The beginning of VIP is closely reminiscent to Molton Brown Black Pepper, only stickier and with less earthly spice.
The development is creamier, but still holds that sweet top that initially grabs my attention.
The spices are all in the base, which is why yes the spice is there but only just. Without a woody base, this fragrances milk mystique really takes off.

And now the drydown; doesn't bring a whole lot of change to the scent itself, but damn that crappy longevity. Ruined everything, that is the sole reason for my thumbs down. Seriously, it didn't even last half an hour before almost dying completely. Even close to the skin it's almost not there.

Another Elizabeth Arden company creation bites the dust.

I really liked that smell, too.

First off, the comment on this page saying EDTs are a waste of money isnt true. Some EDTs are made to stay close to the skin and others can be very potent and long lasting like the thierry mugler frags and le male. On to the review. I got this for a gift for Christmas and I'm not overly impressed by it. This fragrance is not going to get much use from me because it feels like a mature fragrance and I don't really dig the scent right now. I like the more fun scents I guess.
7 stars out of 10. I feel like it is too mature for me right now and I don't feel like it is anything spectacular.

Tested it other day and I thought great smell, but no projection or shelf life. Needless to say I'm not very impressed with it. Do not buy unless you want to trow away your money.

it starts off strong then it fades away very quick wont buy another bottle ever!!!

jimmywinters - lol, yes,you would've hardly been able to smell it - its Eau De Toilette (EDT), which literally means Toilet Spray or Spray on after you've been toilet;) in other words, it may smell nice & appeal to some or not BUT bottom line, unless its an EDP or has as much Perfume Essence as say Le Reves products, you're wasting your money.EDT's ONLY contain 10-15% essence -what do you think the rest is??.....EDP's are the next best thing....buy an EDP & layering products (Body Shampoo,Talc, After Shave Balm,etc) to enjoy the ultimate fragrance sensation!!! OR you may perhaps like to try a Le Reve product which has the MOST perfume essence content - NO retail outlet sells the same, not even Duty Free.It has an even HIGHER parfum essence than EDP's by at least 10-20%....honestly worth a go!!:)hope that helps..

Yup yup. It smells like many other top players out there. Fahrenheit, D&G, Mont Blanc, Tommy Bahama, and even Terre d'Hermes. It starts out citrusy woody and then it gets peppery + saffron til it begins to dry and smells like a herbal Chinese ointment. Not sure if its for everybody, but I like the smell tho. It's great for the price, but man! I hate the bottle!

This is Fahrenheit. A much more WEARABLE Fahrenheit. Altho when I first sniffed this scent, it smelled like Dolce & Gabbana Pour Homme! It smells if there is some form of Sandlewood or Tobacco note in there, yet none is listed in the pyramid. Its a nice bottle, & if you like Fahrenheit you will enjoy this one. Its toned down. ALOT from the big hit of 88! Decent stuff but nothing to carry on about.

For a celebrity scent, Usher VIP is pretty impressive.

Usher's first releases, both for men and women, were either mediocre or shockingly bad, however this fragrance has managed to fall into a pleasant and likable category.

Usher VIP is very unisex in my opinion. It has many feminine qualities, particularly the rich, caramel-like sweetness that makes this fragrance so distinguishable.

The citruses in the opening are rather non-naturalistic. They tend to be sugared and syrupy. This fragrance settles on the skin very creamy-like and delicate. While masculine in some sense, I know that many of the buyers of this fragrance are women.

The spice, although present, is not all that strong. This fragrance consists mostly of sweet, powdery woods on a vanillary base.

The sillage is very intimate and the lasting power, although not bad, is fairly average. In my opinion, Usher VIP is reminiscent of those female fragrances that lean towards the masculine side. So ladies don't be afraid to try this one for yourself.

I just bought a 1 oz bottle at CVS for $15.00 and I am very dissapointed and not because it smells bad but I can hardly smell it at all. I had to spray it 4 times just to get enough to where I could smell it. Even then it was such a faint scent that I just dont know if it smells good or not. Bad Buy!

This is not a good scent for men- smells too feminine or to put it simply it smells like it's for a women.

This cologne smells good but it fades very quickly. Even if you shower in it. Dont waste your time or money

Experience the immediate sensuality of a signature woody fragrance, constructed around a rich suede note. Fresh clean bergamot, tangerine and kumqat exude the confidence of a gentleman at ease in his own skin.

hi..so so.tested today
thought might be great on me[female}
however...I won't be buying a bottle
lasted about half hour on me
think hubby wouldn't much like ,either
don't waste yer money ,folks

I just bought this one yesterday. It smells amazing, almost a clone of Fahrenheit. Slightly spicier, but the drydown is super soft. Perfect for dates and cooler weather. I'm not sure how it will play out in the summer but we will see.

Not a big fan. Smell is really strong at top and then quickly fades in to the background. Longevity is lacking.
