I tested CH for the first day today and I have to say that it is a winner for sure. On me is lasting (it is still going on 10++ hours now) and projects well, as it pops up all the sudden during the day. I use 5 sprays. Now, the opening is strong and a bit sharp and dark going into woods, but then it gets sweet, and to me, the mid and dry-down are exactly the full dry-down of both Givenchy Play and Play Intense (more Intense). On my skin the dry-down is identical for both Play Intense and CH.
+David A. Quiroa the planet is changing lol to what lol cause it's gotta change to what lol it's a niche world lol why so lol cause it just is lol designers are good lol but not niche is not as good lol cause perfume smells really it does lol you think?
CH Men is okay...but not as good as Fan di Fendi Pour Homme in the light-leather category. Moreover, women like this one 'A LOT' better than men. Go figure! Still, nice review.
I've just ordered this. Your great at reviews and you must, must, must try and review Bvlgaria Aqua Amara. It is the best in my collection by far and this CH has its work cut out to take it on. Aqua Amara amazed me how it changes throughout the day. It starts off quite spicy and slowly turns very citrusy and I love it even though I'm not a citrus fan.
I really like this one. It gets many compliments from women. However, I think it is classy and suited more for people 30+. I cut the CH off. It was really annoying.
Good stuff, I bought this yesterday on the strength of Jereomy's review. Once I saw his lady friend choose CH Men over Dolce and Gabbana the One I had to check it out, and I am not disappointed. Enjoyed your take on it as well
Nice review! I got a bottle of this back in 2010 and lovad it! Im considering buying it again. Its a modern fragrance along the lines of One Million and Eros.
I love this scent but I have to carry an atomizer around with me because this one for me doesn't last. I too leaned about this one from Jeremy. Dude is a pimp
Hahah, I'm not the only victim of Jeremy's reviews. I didn't blind buy this, I try this 2 streets distance to my house, and Wow, the opening is cute, the drydown, SEXY. After this, I tried YSL La Nuit (Jeremy's #1) but in contrast to CH, La Nuit doesn't longs and proyects that good. So... I bought CH Men and DHI, 2 sweets masterpieces IMO, one versatility and the other, speechless. But... I'll buy La Nuit de L'Homme anyways in a couple of months during holidays in a duty free, because, maybe it just was olfactory fatigue, or... Travalo and end of the story. I love CH Men.
Cuervo ARG I agree with your point about Dior Homme Intense its an amazing fragrance on all levels. On the strength of the reviews I'm thinking to blind buy CH Men - As a fellow lover of DHI - How would you say DHI compares to CH Men ?
MrCallingoccupants I wear CH Men when Dior Homme Intense is simply too much for that particular ocation. It's sweet, but more masculine because of the leather note. It has, on my skin, great great longevity, and projects very good also. If you love Dior Homme Intense, I'm 99% you will love CH Men too. In the designer game, I've smell almost everything, and CH Men, EASY, is on my Top 5 I would say. IMO :) Resume: Dior Homme Intense = Plan A. CH Men = Plan B.
Thanks Mister Lao. I don't sugar coat anything and will state how I feel about the scent, good or bad. Some don't like that but it's best to be honest. Thanks for stopping by.
AGentlemansJourney hey man, i have a question. i'm looking at ch men or givenchy pi as my next buy. im gonna use it as a school scent. our classrooms our airconditioned so yeah... what would you pick?
Great Review! I blind bought this too from Jeremy's review. But Unlike yourself I think the opening makes this. After that it just becomes another musky scent. Although done very well. Hugh compliment getter for sure.
Better then CH men! Get the word out . A fragrance that smells exactly like CH men but has a lot better projection and longevity is Desel Bad. Diesel bad is unpopular & hardly anybody where is it because it got a few bad reviews. A lot of those reviews or post it before it was even released. People hate on diesel. And everyone's missing out on a better version of CH men. I'm telling you I guarantee it. I wish one of the fragrance reviewers will get the word out
I'm under the impression that there is a HUGE discrepancy with the batch numbers. Everyday Man, what was your batch number? I got batch no. 40271 and I have to say while I really like this scent, I cannot find any leather in it like you said. I actually think mine does NOT belong in cold seasons because it smells so fruity and fresh, like, I smell like a sexy watermelon or something man. Let us know what batch no. you got, I couldn't scope it out even though you showed the bottom of your bottle. I like your video and the humble fragrance community on youtube. Thumbs up.
My number is 33491 from what I was able to see. Its very small to read though. Maybe its just reacting differently to your skin perhaps but who knows. Might be a different batch number.
hi nice review but by the box You received the reformulation the Original and first Version comes with a lot of small CH icons at the center of the box I tried both I find the vintage much better
I wouldn't even know. I heard the reformulation doesn't last and this one did rather well. I also no longer have this one. You could very well be right however.
i blind picked this scent also because of jeremy. i regretted at first but i didnt have it in my head that this is a pretty good casual event scent. i thought it could of been good enough for a tuxedo event but i guess not. is it because of the vanilla scent?
So I got my bottle from Amazon logo is on the bottom corner. I check out the code seems authentic. And my bottle looks like the one on the carolina herrera website. Your thoughts?
Amazon is one of the best sites to get your fragrances when it comes to online shopping. They are very reliable and very very seldomly will you get a fake so you're good.
Perfumania by my house had a tester but I didn't like it, it was wayyyy too sweet and girly imo. But that was on the paper strip. I regret not trying it on my skin but I didn't have any room left on my arms haha, I was testing a lot at the store. Invictus was the winner, also sweet and sexy like you described CH.
+Aroma King Will, its been a minute. Where you've been? Nah, I have never smelled it. We don't sell any Carolina's up here for that price nor do we find them in our Marshal's/Winners.
+AGentlemansJourney I'm good!!! Just taking care of the family etc.. Oh ok I see.. If the original CH is as good as people say then the CH sport shouldn't be to far from it. And for 20.00 I guess it's worth a try. I'll keep you posted.
Hey man. Thanks for the review. I would like to ask what colour is the juice? Only because I bought this fragrance from Amazon and I am not sure if it is fake or real. The juice in mine is like a light pink liquid. One other review is saying the liquid us green. So I am confused now.
I honestly couldn't tell you as I no longer have my bottle and I never paid attention to such stuff. I think mine was a clear no colour liquid. If there was a colour then I would not have noticed. Sorry I couldn't answer your question.
If its the original batch and not the reformulated which I believe came out in 2015 or 16 then yes its a good purchase. I don't remember how long it lasted but I do remember it was very good. I state it in the video but I ended up selling mine a few years ago.
Does cologne go bad, as long as its sitting in a dark location? I have a couple of bottles that I haven't uses in over ten years, and it still smells great. Does there come a time when it should be thrown away, due to age?
If you generally keep it in a dark and cool place it'll last for years and years. It may eventually go bad but it seems yours are lasting the test of time and you are doing a good job at that.
Akaki Mtvralashvili I'd day sure why not. I don't know about batches and I know that it's been reformulated. It's a gamble and I haven't smelled this one since this review as I sold mine.
Hi Chad! I found a 2010 vintage bottle at a local retailer. Should I get it? it's wayy beyond it's shelf life mark, won't the top notes and stuff be 'off'?
You should be alright. If it was kept out of the sun and not into too warm places it'll be fine. You can have fragrances for years that will last if its kept properly.
I picked it up Chad! The opening has a blast of alcohol, settles down after 5 seconds or so. I had this before, so yes it's fine. But longevity sucks 😅 It's disappearing in 2 hours, 4 on clothes. It's a 2010 bottle but performs like the new ones. Hmmmm 😥
and I puT one spreys of that red tie ribbon,but longevity sucks..about 1.5 hour on my arm..current formulation does more projection and longevity than 2014 january formulation!!!I remember when I first time snift this fragrance-thet was magic in a bottle..the box was many CHCHCHCHCH on all arond of the box..that was tru formula..
Joe Cochran Thank you for stopping by and thank you for your service, Mr. Cochran (your picture, I'm a huge supporter of service personal). I would say Canali Black Diamond, Canali Style (cheapie but goodie), Versace Man, Tom Ford Noir, Burberry London, Armani Code, YSL La Nuit De L'homme, and we'll throw in a niche Serge Lutens Chergui :)
AGentlemansJourney I do like that smell , I can smell it and others detect it also but the sugar cane comes in after the dry off..Some do pick the the gum scent ,some don't I reckon. Pull off the cap and sniff the nozzle,that is where I get it also..It is very different stuff than what I am use to...I almost thought it was fake after it came in the mail.
novel john pamplona I think you can wear it for all seasons. It may get a little cloying in the heat if you over apply because this is a pretty sweet fragrance.
I need your help sir, I am planning to hook my husband up with a super sexy cologne (this will be my first cologne gift to him) and I want him addicted to it forever ;). Please please please suggest anything non-creed cologne (I am currently unemployed, so my budget is a max of 100$). Thank you!
I am just about to purchase one from a private seller for the batch code: 10731 (it has the leather around and red line with CH logo attached to it. Does that bottle classed as vintage? any help would be appreciated it. Thanks
+AGentlemansJourney no problem my friend as I was able to go through the site Basenotes to which I found my answer and will be ordering the fragrance. Thanks for the response none the less
It works very well in the cold and I don't know about compliments. I don't get random compliments all that much. I'll ask people what they thought and they all liked it but don't expect random compliments but different people. That's just me being honest with you.
Very sexy scent from this fragrance....the sexiest I have smelt. A real compliment facilitator Unfortunately, performance is not great at all. Be prepared to reapply after 3hrs.
