In the Chic by CH case we have a very pleasent and cozy fresh and tonic fragance, it was in the same vein of 212 Men. I didn’t think this fragrance projected very far but that compliment came from someone that was like 10ft away from me. I find similar to the Argentine PRUNE II Coming back to the previous thought, I add CH for men 1st, and 212, to the true great CH creations. Getting more spicy with the cinnamon and cardamon, and I do get a light wiff of the watermelon, or at least melon.

Herrera I need an intense/eau de parfum version of this, not another summer/surf/on ice/whatever… version of 212. Please read the full reviews and consider your own needs and preferences before making a purchasing decision.Chic for Men is one of the most beloved fragrances by Carolina Herrera and the signature scent of many a man. Chic is another excellent men's cologne by Carolina Herrera who mastered the art of blending both citrusy notes with spicy/woodsy notes to create a unique high quality frag. The drydown is just a vague fizzy wood that is very similar to the fizzy goodness of Moschino Uomo (a much cheaper and equally great fume) - great for teens and those young at heart! I always told myself (and to the world) that Carolina Herrera makes its marvellous 1st female fragance and then nothing was the same. this stuff dries down to a scent that in my opinion, is close to the greatest scent ive ever smelled.

I lived in West Africa during my childhood , and my mother would never let us go play outside in the garden in the afternoons without first spraying OFF. They watered it down to the point where you spray it and after two hours it's gone and the sillage, forget about it it's ZERO there's no sillage and projection . hours on my skin really is disappointing (Frags usually last a long time on me, Gucci Pour Homme II for example lasts all day). You may not think they are suitable to give as a gift, but they are perfect for your personal use (or perhaps for non-discerning family and friends). The warm notes of cinnamon amber and tonka beanslowly creep in and pretty much stays like that throughout.New: A brand-new, unused, unopened and undamaged item in original retail packaging (where packaging . i dont get compliments on it, but i dont get compliments on anything i wear because i live in a city where its good to smell terrible.

There's Nothing like the watermelon fruit in here, this is an artificial watermelon flavored CANDY, and yes, I am being very generous here. It starts citrusy and spicy, a bit sweet too (a bit feminine), then after 10 or 20 minutes it dries down to a very masculine, dry scent (a lot of cinnamon), that is not excessively heavy or warm. I’m getting this beautifully sweet and fresh soapiness—the watermelon is still there, now joined by what’s probably amber and sandalwood and what seems like citrus providing some airy, tangy highlights. To my nose it’s soapy watermelon and spice, semi-fresh but more fresh leaning and definitely masculine. The atomizer s not so good , some times works fine , but not as satisfying as any fragrance I had tested, Herrera for men has very good and much better atomizer for example, I don't like the cap either, it just cover the atomizer, but doesn't stick at its place , so you can't lift the bottle up .

The overall blanket is Iso E Super (again, Fahrenheit) or a variation of it, perhaps a captive, we can't be sure.

So here it is, to summarize, Chic was great back in the days, nowadays it's still not bad at all - a gentle blend of violet-musk-sandalwood with aquatic fruity green nuances. Watermelon is not a note that you expect to find in a men's fragrance, and I must admit that I was a little sceptical at first. A safe option for office wear or casual occasions, day or night, mostly for mild weather in my opinion. It's also got a smooth musk base which is actually enjoyable compared to other musk fragrances of the same Era. The opening is really fresh and very citrusy, with a light essence of watermelon and a good heap of cinnamon.

There is this endlessly enjoyable fresh airiness wafting from CH Chic for hours which can only delight anyone close enough to experience. Don't get me wrong, I love this scent as it is quite reminiscent of Acqua di Gio but with the sweetness turned up to 11! The fragrance is, as the name suggests, Chic - with sour notes from lemon and bergamot, mixed with pepper, cinnamon and sandalwood. But this does smel different then all my other colognes and is a welcome addition to any collection.
