Upon first spray this smells exactly like Avon's U by Ungaro and I was not surprised to find out they were made by the same duo of "noses", Yves Cassar and Pascal Gaurin, at International Flavors & Fragrances. Notwithstanding, the two are responsible for many other notable fragrances from the houses Estee Lauder, Calvin Klein, and Giorgio Armani. This is the kind of fragrance that lasts all day and that women will compliment you on. It is the kind of fragrance that you wear to club, where fragrances will be in competition with each other. It is NOT the kind of fragrance to wear to the office or to church or to a wine tasting for that matter. It starts of spicy: Saffron and Ginger are what is listed online. The middle notes are orris and cardamom, although I have never had a previous experience with either. The base, what remains after eight hours, is cedarwood, driftwood, musk, and vetiver. Personally I can't make any of those out. To me the best way to describe it is "bright" and slightly "marine" like Cool Water. For the price it is a good all-around cologne.Read full review
An excellent choice for colder weather where heavier fragrances are acceptable. Go light, easy to over-do this.

I won't go into verbose detail about this product. All I will say some things about its effect on the opposite sex. I mean, WOW! When I wear this stuff, it shifts women of all ages into attack mode. I literally have to RUN from women. Shopping malls are extremely dangerous because of the sheer volume of women all chasing me at once. At least in a mall there are wide open areas and multiple escape routes. Where the real terror lies in places like Trader Joes. Getting cornered in the back of the dairy section by 6 or 8 crazed soccer moms with little red shopping carts and likely tanked up on 2 Buck Chuck can get ugly fast! At the office, thank God most women wear high heels and I can run down stairwells. I haven't seen the staff lunch room for months! I think this Christian Lacroix has some sort of autonomic brain signal sensitivity transmitter. I seem to have a heightened sense of awareness that women are on my tail when I spray this stuff on. All I gotta say is it works. I owe my love life to Avon Christian Lacroix Noir. My only concern now is to sort through the huge pile of women chasing me to find my one true love before my cologne runs out. This stuff is getting harder and harder to find and one day, it and my dreams of romance may be gone!Read full review

My husband used Polo for sometime. This Avon cologne is much better in length of time lasting and value. It also smells great. I don’t know ehy Avon got rid of such a super masculine sceng.

As far as I'm concerned, this should be the ONLY men's cologne, draw compliments, long lasting, what else do you need?
