Jimmy Choo Man Blue Eau de Toilette, 100 ml

Product Information

The higher end I have: Bortnikoff, Roja Dove, Francesca Bianchi, Strangelove, Dior prive, and just alot of Animalics for winter. Urban Hero is definitely a nice release, but certainly isn’t groundbreaking, due to already common scent character (sweet/spicy/musky/fresh) that have flooded the designer market as of late.

Urban Hero is smells nothing like Aventus...so get that out of your head. Urban Hero will smell familiar to many people, and can be best described as smelling like a dialed down (in sweetness, herbaceous, intensity, and projection) Invictus (OG) and Rasasi Hawas with a scent character/style that has been intended for men 30+ years of age. This fragrance projects nicely off the skin about eight inches after one hour. The ultimate drydown goes into a delightfully masculine base with a civilized leather and no-nonsense Ambegris. I like Ambergris alot. Not pushy, but not a pushover, either. The spicy citrus stays light and refreshing in personal space, but the animalics laying just above the skin have some weight. The open is short but delightful. At about six hours it is still there and detectible without nose to arm hairs!Maybe Jimmy Choo Urban Hero is 'nothing new' but I think a good idea/formulation never is victim to 'nothing new'. It is just good. This scent is maybe styled from earlier times, but it is classy, no doubt fun. Whoooa! What's with all the hate for this one?! I blind bought a bottle of this to decant, without even knowing anything about it, and my expectations were NOT very high (it's a Jimmy Choo scent, so I expected it to smell good, but be weak). To my surprise, this smells AMAZING and STRONG! Much stronger than Jimmy Choo Man.

You see. . . I am finding out that my tastes are simple. I really like Juicy Couture on women. I really like Dunhill on men. I like 'With Love' from Paris Hilton on women, and sometimes on me. I just bought two bottles of Lolita Lempika pour Homme because that is how much I love this anise-laced, fun, carefree and even flirty scent. Hugh Parsons is a great British parfumer and its Hyde Park is a triple level Fig Trip with some incense. Oh yeah. . it lasts and is somehow really different than other Figs. I have Imaginary Authors 'Fig', Molinard 'Fig' and Diptyque 'Fig'. Fig Experts: please comment. Once you enter the world of synthetics like--in my perception, Mancera and Montale-- you really can be so playful. In my opinion Mancera and Montale are pure genius. Nobody does Vanilla like Mancera/Montale. If you are expecting any depth from the supposed green or woody notes then you are going to be extremely disappointed as they are barely detectable (to my nose anyway).Performance is nothing to write home about either - projecting strongly for about 60 minutes before dying down to become a skin scent for another couple of hours. Firstly, aesthetics wise the bottle is beautiful which was what attracted me in the first place, shiny metal and glass, trademark of a modern world. The shape is like a hip flask where you would carry some potent scotch for a sip or pour into your coffee. The detailing on the cap gives it that minimalist refined touch. It speaks, I'm tough, I'm fragile, what you see is what you get but I hide surprises if you look careful. The bottle is crafted beautifully.

The good news is, mainstream, periodic fragrance buyers, that enjoy sweet/spicy/musky/fresh smelling, masculine colognes, can blind buy Urban Hero with confidence! This is why I don't prefer sweet frags. It just overwrites every single effort and thoughts of a perfumer's work and breaks it down into nothingness. No matter what u use, how hard a perfumers planned and staged, it will always gonna be ambergris prominent.Jimmy Choo opens a new chapter with Jimmy Choo Man Blue, a woody aromatic leathery fragrance. The Jimmy Choo Man is invigorated by life, relaxed and self-confident, classy yet with a casual, rugged edge. Both share Vetiver and Vetivers can really differ. I am a former Vetiver hater that now loves it. Lavender is not the same as Finger Lime but they do have a certain brightness. Dunhill Valensole Lavender is a fleeting Lavender open. After it is gone, the similarities to Jimmy Choo 'Urban Hero' begin. Jimmy Choo may have created the accidental, ultimate Lavender Accord by its use of Finger Lime and Rosewood/ Vetiver !!! Bring in the lab, please. Nothing new' for me is a turn on. I can't even name how many silly, esoteric, exclusively priced and just plain ridiculous fragrances are out there. Blah!!!!!!
