Plenty poor reviews on this but I actually love it on my skin after the cool down. It smells really good and fresh. Initially spraying I didn’t like it so much. Smelled really commercial, fruity, powdery …. but after the cool down and middle notes, the jasmine, vanilla and soft fresh, powdery notes actually are very lovely and pleasant on my skin. I like this as a nice fresh out the shower day scent. I picture myself in a nice yellow sundress, on a beautiful sunny day, hair flowing, in a sunflower field at full bloom ….. to me very 1970 teenage hippy girl flow, I also have on a nice wide brim hat for the sun that matches my dress, lol. Wait I’m hearing the “Beatles” George Harrison singing “It’s Something In The Way She Moves”, lol. I love this scent. Gives me a really good youthful feeling and lovely memories. I think the bottle should be different, it doesn’t represent the scent much but I actually like the bottle. Just maybe for something else. My husband keeps inhaling me, that’s a good sign. I give it a total thumbs up
besshen – :
I used up the masculine version and have recently been wearing this. It is totally suitable for a man and wraps one in coconut nougaty creamy foam for the whole day.
kadet5 – :
This is a mess of notes unaligned, unbalanced, at least on my skin. Don’t blame the poor lily of the valley (of all the discordant, strong notes, it is LOTV that is guilty !!!!), blame the nose.
ssstasss – :
I blind bought the two classic 90s Diesel fragrances, Zero Plus and Plus Plus, together. While I was more interested in Plus Plus, I like Zero Plus more… But still not enough to really wear it. The top notes are pleasent enough, I smell mostly cinnamon, spices and the warm fruity notes of plum and pineapple. Unfortunately, it has a slighty synthethic, sharp edge that becomes more noticeable over time and is very similar to Plus Plus. After a few hours it also has a milky quality like Plus Plus.
Zero Plus is a bit more agreeable and softer, but overall both are too plasticy and sharp for me. Maybe it’s because of the lily of the valley, a note that often spoils everything for me, or it is just a special Diesel note that I don’t like.
I will try to get rid of both perfumes.
inammeree – :
Wow. What? What even is this smell?
If the packaging wasn’t indication enough, this is one of those futuristic, abstract ones. Cocoa? Would never have crossed my mind. Pineapple? Maybe if you found a hypothetical pineapple fossile and tried reconstructing it in the year 3000. Vanilla? Hardly, at least not in a literal sense. Nutmeg though, now we’re getting somewhere! Nutmeg and cinnamon. This is a spicy number, but that’s not the whole story – it’s definitely not oriental, nor christmassy, as many of the compositions that feature these tend to be. Red apple, plum, pepper… yes, I can see that, but again in a very abstract sense. The rest of the notes I do not pick up on in the least.
I am surprised by the lack of a coconut note or whatever, it’s rather lactonic. The mix of milkiness/creaminess and spiciness reminds me a bit of Lanvin Oxygene, which coincidentally also came out at the turn of the millennium. I would not classify this as a gourmand, particularly not as we know them in the year 2017. It’s not even particularly sweet. I don’t know how age has affected the smell but I wouldn’t say it smells off, at least. It’s just one of those perfumes that will make people in your vicinity intrigued. I seem to prefer Plus Plus over Zero Plus, though.

This one screams coconut..Summer teen fragrance
fierce81 – :
I honestly can’t stand this perfume. I had it four years ago, a gift, its a synthetic, overbearing, heavy, cloying spicy scent. To me it smelt like rotten apple and cinnamon and other spices, maybe it was a bad batch, I don’t know, but I definitely won’t be trying again..
baron-andr1980 – :
The main accords section above looks about right, just add in cocoanutty, cakey, yum. Warm, summery, tropical in a non fruit way
VasiliISk – :
I opened the doors to one my older perfume cabinets and in the dark recesses of the second shelf I found this. Oh my goodness, I was taken aback by how much I loathe this, it was almost visceral. I remember not being keen on this, hence being hidden away “out of sight, out of mind” but I wasn’t prepared for the reaction I had. Perhaps it was because it was the staple for teenage girls everywhere for a while, or that this is super sickly and grabbed my skin like a magnet and just wouldn’t quit, no matter how much or how hard I scrubbed. Sorry to those that like this, for me it’s a yuck!
svmm – :
I had this when I was 17-18. My first real perfume buy other than body sprays. It was nice for Autumn/winter when I bought it but I loathed it in summer. The sweet cacao musk was just to heavy for me. I gave my 2/3 of a bottle away but looking back over it now I should’ve just put it in the cupboard to bring out again in the cooler months. It was a compliment getter tho it added a bit of an edge to my bohemian vibe.
pvs186elipseskism – :
This scent reminds me of my teens. It was the first bottle of perfume that I ever owned and I always remember the smell of sweet coconut. I may have to re-buy this just to reminisce!
The bottle always annoyed me though, the weird rubberish coating would rub off making the bottle look tatty.
schura59 – :
Coconut and berries. The creamyness makes it a comfort scent wearable in colder months but I can pull it off on the beach under the scorching sun. Has two sides. It’s sexy in a clean way. Natural beauty with a twist. It makes you feel perfect as you feel after a refreshing shower, applying rich body butter, shea butter and wearing your comfy but trendy underwear. So yummy, but not too gourmand.
advireere – :
Unfortunately it is nearly impossible to get Diesel Zero Plus or Diesel Plus Plus in South Africa. When I asked the gentleman at one of the local Drug Stores, he said that we have to import it & it is often not an easy task. Therefore, I had to blind buy this one online, from the only South African store which keeps stock. That said…
I received my bottle today at a really good price! R355 for 75ml (that’s about US $28). I literally just tested it out about an hour ago. At first I also get the strong pineapple scent most reviewers refer to. Then this becomes a soft, floral, creamy almost milky scent. I am so happy I bought this! Love it 🙂
Vano9999 – :
This is a musky vanilla cocounut perfume its lovely but cocounut isnt even listed in the notes. Weird
Анюся – :
This smells like shea body butter 🙂
It is very similar to Diesel Plus Plus Feminine and is even a bit coconutty, which is weird considering coconut is not listed in the notes. It’s not fruity at all on me, and really just smells like rich shea or cocoa body butter. I was complimented on it a lot today and one of me colleagues also said (unprompted) that it smells like a body butter of some sort. She said it is very subtle and classy. It’s not an in-your-face kind of scent, but it does project past arms length and longevity is really good, at least 7 hours.
Layer this with your shea body butter and you’ll be all set, perfect for when you want a non-perfumey fragrance 🙂
(How many times can I write “shea body butter” in one review?!)
I really, really like this but I prefer plus plus more, and they are so similar that I don’t really see the point in having this one as well, so it won’t be a repeat buy for me. Perhaps if I’d tried this first, this would have been the keeper.
pma584InsuffBooni – :
Reminds me of being a teen. This was one of the must haves. A strangely rubberized coated red bottle with no cap very of the time. Reminds of a love child of a poor man’s Hypnotic poison, Angel and Versace Crystal noir, quite cloying vanilla, a good dose of gardenia and coconutty sun tan oil quite possibly the gardenia itself. Potentially a good scent for those who can pull of slightly gourmandish vanilla scents. I am surprised by the Cinnamon and ivy listed. Potentially a good scent but just too cloying on my chemistry almost to the point of intensifying throughout the day and smelling a bit sweaty on me due to the Cacao (I cannot bear chocolate, coco butter or cacao in any fragrance of mine). Good lasting power.
SSDF – :
Thanks to 2746cstreet for her generous decant of Diesel Zero Plus. I am getting a deliciously sweet but not cloying, softly powdery pineapple vanilla marshmallow. Zero Plus is definitely NOT excessively sweet or gourmand, but it is gently fruity, warm, fuzzy, and slightly vanillic scent, floating delicately over a silky clean musk. It is very carefree and inviting.
It reminds me of home-made marshmallows flavored with pineapple, and of Mexican pineapple-marshmallow chocolate cookies that I would often admire at the corner store, and ultimately rather smell than eat. The quality is about equal to that of some of the best celebrity fragrances.
Zero Plus has an addictive quality and wears close to the skin, but demonstrates good longevity. For intimate/casual situations year round. A very cute and likable perfume. When I hold my nose to my wrist where I applied it, I think to myself, “Mmmmmmm….”
polika – :
Zero Plus is a creamy, warm spicy, sweet comfort scent on me. It is sweet, but not overly. True, Zero’s huge pineapple opening is a bit synthetic, however this settles down quite quickly to provide a slight fizzy shimmer to the scent. In this way it reminds me a little of Zen by Shiseido, although Zero Plus is more creamy thanks to the cacao whereas Zen has the incense note.
I wish it would last a little longer but Zero Plus Feminine is a good fragrance for the price.

the smell is quite disappointing…definitely not gonna buy a second time!!!

I love this so much! It smells like coconut sunscreen!
lovaborbsog – :
I find this smells a little similar to Womanity by Thierry Mugler and I honestly can’t stand either of them. If you like coconut and very sweet scents, this is for you but I find it heady and extremely sickly. For me this is honestly the worst perfume I have ever smelled.
guguit – :
ps- reading the original description above-> let me just tell you- THAT WAS THE ORIGINAL ONE THAT IM ALMOST OUT OF… the only one you can buy now is a coconutty/pineapple new formula. the one i am desperately looking for was just like that description… sandalwood, floral, musky, vanilla :/
xms330elipseskism – :
SO-i registered on here because im looking for the original version of this perfume. I own it right now, bought it in NYC in 2005. i originally sampled it in Japan in 2002 & always always loved it. it was strong & industrial at first but quickly faded into the perfect strong but almost into a cherry floral vanilla-> one of my most favorite scents of all time. then around 2009 back in florida- i knew i needed to buy it again cause im running low-> but THEY HAVE CHANGED THE FORMULA.. lady kept telling me it was a real coconutty/pineapple scent- im like “i dont remember it smelling like coconuts”… i would always argue with them… and continue to smell it from time to time… finally one lady told me they CHANGED IT… now it makes sense.. i remember it was gone for a time and then was available again- it must have been when they changed it.. im very very not happy about it… i sprayed some today but it’s almost gone… so got online tonight wondering if i could find the old one for sell…. does anybody else know what im talking about??? if i cant find it, im just gonna have to look for something else… i may end up getting hugo boss deep red .. but id rather just find the OLD diesel zero plus feminine.. very sad 🙁
hellboy008 – :
Interesting and amazing softness. It is very sweet and silky, a bit warm. I was surprised. Nice, but very synthetic. I do not know if I can wear it all day.
demyanov-p – :
This is actually really nice. I’ve noticed a lot of reviewers getting coconut from this, but to me Zero Plus smells like cocoa butter.
I also get lots of lily of the valley, adding to the creaminess of the fragrance.
I really only get fruit at the beginning. Drydown is smooth, soft and slightly spicy.
Fuckerbot – :
I am really not a fan of the opening of this perfume it just smells strange. But after a few minutes the strange smell dissipates and I love it! It’s a real daytime scent meant to me to use when out and about, exercising and going for walks. Don’t judge this perfume on its opening, let it settle down and it really is lovely.
drionel – :
I cant even believe this is a perfume, this is the opposite of a perfume, this is something would make people whisper about you behind your back, its like sunscreen lotion and my boyfriends rank smelling heel scrub. Its overpowering and absolutely rotten! I bought this because it was $12 and honestly its not even worth that! There are no nice smells hidden in this hot mess.
andspb – :
I got this when I was a teenager, it was popular at the time in my age group. I feel however today that I was to young to appreciate the true awesomeness of this scent.
It’s synthetic, sure, and quite brutal. Definately not for those who are inclined to “pretty” scents. But what makes it enjoyable is how bold it is and how it can twist and turn. You never know what you’re going to get (as can be ascertained by the reviews below where none of them seem to be describing the same perfume). On me I get mostly spices and cinnamon, no fruits here or cacao. And to me it isn’t particularly sweet. Warm spicy is the right category.
Diesel zero plus is an underrated fragrance, especially among perfume enthusists which I would think would appreciate more it’s depth and wilderness. I encourage people to try it out but advise against blind purchase.
sxwqyism – :
When I first sprayed this I thought it was absolutely terrible. But then it settled down a bit and I quite enjoyed it. I definitely get warm spicy out of this. The bottle isn’t very nice looking at not being able to see how much I have left bugs me since I feel a sense of achievement when I use things up
FamilyFavorite – :
“Diesel Zero Plus Feminine” is one of those scents that at first glance you don’t know what to expect from, the notes could turn out either way and the bottle looks very *industrial revolution*. When you take the bottle out of its plastic box, it has no cap, so its very bare and minimalistic looking and is -in my opinion- more suitable for a male fragrance.
On my skin the first whiff reveals a creamy pineapple with a coconut note (that is not listed!) a warm vanilla aura and a pinch of nutmeg/pepper. In the middle phase magnolia and sandalwood appear and they persuade a shy amber to accompany them.
Just when you think its gourmand all the way the magnolia gives it a floral vibe and settles in a sandalwood/ amber drydown, but the pineapple is never far away. It’s a scent one loves or hates. So many things can go wrong with this (the pineapple can be perceived as sour on some chemistries) and I can understand people who say that they don’t like it. It is indeed a scent that is fickle and very moody, but if it works with your chemistry you have a scent that is quite unusual and definitely not mainstream!
I like it for those moods when I crave something very different from the rest of my collection. It also suits my: “I wanna be on a tropical island” mood.
It’s a coconut-vanilla gourmand with a slight boozy edge (pineapple) and its yummy and sweet with a spicy backbone. It’s definitely a scent you must try and wear a while before purchase because it’s really that *odd*!
Silage is: I can tell you’ve been to a tropical island! — Longevity is: a long afternoon in the sun, 5+ hours. Love it or hate it, but sniff it if you can…its quite fun : )

Warning: Negative Review
This is the most synthetic, poorly blended brew I have ever come across. The only note I can pick out is chocolate (cacao). Everything else is a sweet, suffocating mess. This gave me an instant headache that wouldn’t quit. I wouldn’t spray my worst enemy with this concoction.
If you still decide to sample this, I would wear a Haz-Mat suit because it smells like pure chemical waste.
kadet173 – :
When I wear this, all I smell is cocoa and fruit; and that is definitely not a bad thing to me :). I personally adore cocoa smells and this perfume blends perfectly with my skin’s chemistry and I have received many compliments when wearing this. This is a comforting smell but definitely, as someone commented not suited for a younger lady, this definitely has some mature grit in it and requires some sass to gratify it’s unique smell. Dry down is very creamy and there is a noticeable floral note. I definitely would recommend this perfume, it’s a character and absolutely unforgettable.
persuin – :
I sprayed some on about ten minutes ago, and I’m surprised not more people comment on how strong the white florals are in the beginning stages of this scent! I smell mostly a clean and not too heavy jasmine, with that fuzzy, tropical, coconutty base peeking through every now and again. As time progresses the florals fade and that base shines on its own, but that floral stage is really noticeable to me. I can’t say I really smell cocoa in this, though… I’m a little puzzled by that.
Overall, I’m glad I bought this scent. Every time I wear this perfume I’m worried I won’t like it, and every time I end up thinking ‘I really kinda DO like it!’; it’s weird. For 12 bucks you can’t go THAT wrong anyway, and it’s not one of those scents you smell everywhere (Chloe, I’m looking at you!).
fomka79 – :
I received this perfume as a gift several years ago and I must say the first couple times I used it I didn’t think I liked it much. But to be fair I used a couple more times. I’m glad I did, because I do like it. It’s masculine yet feminine at the same time. It’s like a warm winter smell but fruity and not heavy though it seems as though it would be. It definitely changes scents after you wear it for a bit. It lasts quite a long time, longer on clothing, and can be smelled from quite a distance for at least the first couple hours but tends to die down a bit after, but not to where it’s not noticeable. I like this scent for an everyday or even going out at night occasionally. I let a friend use mine and she never returned it, so I did purchase another bottle. I also really like the bottle. It makes me think industrial, metal, strong and I don’t worry about it breaking, although it probably will. It’s a nice scent.
КИР_1970 – :
This is such a warm and cosy scent. Sweet coconut, pinapple and vanilla with hints of florals and pepper. On the dry down it smells milky and musky. Last for a couple of hours so you will need to top it up again. Yummy stuff.
mrslava1 – :
Had a boyfriend who bought this for me a long time ago. Liked him, didn’t like THIS. Straight up cat’s piss sour. Couple of hours later it turned into quite a sexy coconutty scent, but I don’t want to smell like cat’s piss for even 5 minutes…

Well, Zero Plus is one of those perfumes that really seems to divide people so I was a bit wary of making a blind buy of it when I saw it, with other Diesel perfumes, on sale last weekend on one of my fave perfume websites. Also, I’d bought a bottle of Plus Plus blind a couple of years ago and although I kind of liked it for awhile, in its own odd way, I quickly went off it and then only used it as an occasional air freshener!! Anyway, the price of Zero Plus was so good though, and some of the reviews were tempting, that I decided why the hell not .. so I did get a bottle (ooh, how daring and reckless of me!).
I think Tigerlillian has summed Zero Plus up pretty accurately. It’s definitely unusual, and creamy and tropical. When I first tried it on my skin I was a bit unsure whether I’d like it or not because it seemed a bit dense, perhaps, and in general I think just because it is so unusual it’s one of those scents that takes awhile to adjust to and make your mind up about. After 15 minutes or so I decided I did like it quite a lot! It started to smell on my skin like a very yummy exotic fruit salad (think pineapple, mango, guava, etc – even though the latter two don’t seem to be in it at all!) with a creamy coconutty’ness merged with a smattering of creamy, sweet rice pudding / vanilla. So, the longer it was on me the better it smelled, which was nice! The only not so good thing about it is that the longevity isn’t great, and on me it fades quickly after a handful of hours. Still, it smells so nice on me and, as Tigerlillian says, the bottle is cute – like a little red rubberized grenade. So, the fact that it might need refreshing once or twice is OK.
As for the negative reviews here that say Zero Plus is masculine / nasty / sour / synthetic / the ‘worst scent ever’. etc, all I can say is that for me those descriptions of it don’t tally with how it smells to my nose and what it smells like on my own skin. I’d describe it as definitely unusual but loveable, fruity but in a non-generic, exotic fruit salad kind of way, creamy, a little sweet but not overbearingly so, definitely feminine (not the slightest bit masculine on me!) and even, perhaps surprisingly, SEXY. Also, I’d say it’s a unique kind of smell, as is Plus Plus, so it doesn’t remind me of many other perfumes, if any, like some other perfumes do. It does have the coconutty’ness of FCUK Friction though but in a different, less creamy but more fruity kind of way.
SO, to sum up – I really like Zero Plus and can definitely award it a happy thumbs up. I think it’s definitely worth a try and to anyone thinking about blind buying it, like I did, I’d suggest giving it a go and seeing if it works well with your chemistry too. Trust me … I’ve definitely smelled perfumes a million times worse than this one (and for me the pinnacle of foulness in a perfume is Opium which I would never wear even if someone offered me a million to wear it for a day!).
puhof7910 – :
A coconut style, unique and creamy frag, but it does not last..
I applied 6 heavy sprrays
0- 1 hours – 7 inch projection. This is something different and special. Coconut is not listed which is amazing as it is so dominant. Very creamy and quite alluring, very unique, could be a signature scent – I have a soft spot for this one! It smells like my wife, how can this be, she has never wore it, or heard of it; a moment of the most innocent feeling of natural love. Suffice to say I bought it for £6.25 inc p&p
1 hours 2.5 hours – 3 inch projection
2.5 hours – 4 hours – 2 inch projection
4 – 5.5 hours – Close to skin
Very affordable and cute bottle. You will need to top it up every 3 hours or so, but worth carrying it around with you.
Anneta – :
This perfume smells comepletely and utterly like coconut (so i am unsure why others have voted this as being a chocolate smelling scent!)
The next scent that i smell the most is most definately pineapple. It does lean toward being a smell that you might correlate to being on the beach in summertime.
freshsoftnet – :
I had a boyfriend who told me this perfume smells “kinky”-I think he nailed it!Not for the faint of heart-:))
tvs004Unlogrere – :
This is horrible stuff on me. Some strange overpowering coconut or something, like a suntan lotion gone bad. I got two bottles of this from an aunt who I guess thinks I like it and managed to get rid of one.
I still have a bottle left that I only sprayed a few times, so if anyone who likes it wants to trade I’d be happy to. The plastic dome broke though (I’ve had it a looooong time).
immofteta – :
Hmmm…. Just bought this as a cheap blind buy, and like many others who have commented I can’t decide how I feel about it. It’s similar to FCUK Friction for her which I also only bought a couple of weeks ago, though Diesel Zero Plus Feminine is most certainly stronger and a touch too masculine I think. Though I do keep smelling my wrist just to check again! Oh I don’t know! Certainly not what I was expecting and I am still on the hunt for a tropical coconut scent, but not bad either…I’m tempted to buy Plus Plus too as I have heard that this also is different but nice!
bwj859elipseskism – :
Plum, pineapple and vanilla, sweet and fresh – I used it in high school, but now I hate plum, soooooo. The fume is good for its price, but not if you hate the smell of plum. Love the bottle:)

I got this perfume because I love cinnamon and Diesel fragrances agree well with me in general. Everybody seems to smell different things in it. I smell… sweet tuberose?! To me it’s something between Michael Kors and Fragile EDP, and I like it but it was not what I expected at all. Diesel will always surprise me…

i am very suprised there is no coconut listed in the notes. to my nose coconut is all i smell. i used to love this as a teen and wore it everyday but now i hate the smell of it. it doesnt have any depth what so ever.
muron – :
I tried this because I love the scent of coconut. Well let’s just say I didn’t get coconut from this at all. Instead I got a sour, synthetic, nasty cinnamon smell. This is definitely a perfume that I would not recommend to anyone.

very sweet, with a milky smell. Not for me, but im sure it smells nice on a middleage girl on a cold winterday at a café together with a cappuccino.

I bought it after reading the below reviews but to my surprise i didnt like it at all…. I admit its opening is too good but it doesnt last on your skin nor on your clothes…
Longevity and Projection are sad after 1 hr. Its a waste of money …Please don’t try it …..

When I went to buy this I accidentally grabbed the male version, I have since got the female…hands down prefer the male version…First time I wore the mens, men and women told me all night how amazing I smelled. My dad has gotten me about 3 bottles of the female (don’t have the heart to tell him I don’t care for it) that have sat on my dresser.

This ones pretty good value for money, I like it. The one that smells like Pina Colada 🙂
Testberichtelrdri – :
Oh, doesn’t anyone mind smelling like mama’s cinnamon apple pie (with a synthetic twist) anymore? 😉 My Zero Plus is up for grabs, so PM.
I have had this fragrance for 1.5 years but have never sprayed it to the neck, and heh, there’s a reason for it.
Otherwise the scent would get a ZERO –
the cool, red color of the bottle gets the only PLUS.
elfase – :
This perfume have a very nice smell, it opens with coconut & pine, just for 3 minutes, after that y smell Jasmine so lovely, i guess that people neither like the bottle, nor the name, that is true, according to the smell it should have been a bottle like a heart or star, in a crystal material, well not every thing is perfect, jeje lost on my skin for 5-to-6 hours.
Bambu4a – :
Intensive cacao plus cedar and apple notes at the beginning. I like that freshness the apple note creates and the smell is not sweet.
I’d categorize it as fruity oriental. Yes, it is unusual and a bit strange but not unbearable or utterly heavy. It suits for colder days and good mood.
Edited: after about two hours the scent settles down on my skin in a warm spicy way (cacao, cinnamon and I guess pineapple).
Longevity is about 5 hours for me.
pavel2203 – :
Terrible, don’t know what to say. I can’t wait to return it tomorrow!!! Thank goodness it has been discontinued. Who wants to smell like Gillette shaving cream?
WhiteDeamon – :
I got very dissapointed with this fragance, as I bought it online without smelling it first, as it says it was a coconut fragance! I can’t smell the coconut and the scent is so strong it makes me feel nauseous sometimes.
I love Harajuku Lovers G, which is almost like spraying yourself with Malibu (the coconut rum!) so I always tend to look for fragances with the same aroma of tropical fruit cocktail, but Diesel Zero Plus was quite deceiving, as it said coconut in the description, but then I could not smell any coconut in me! If anything, I though this was a men’s fragance of how strong and manly it is!
grom14 – :
This scent is creamy sweet coconut, with a spiciness that underlines it thanks to the cinnamon.
On my skin the two strongest notes, by far, are coconut and cinnamon, but there is an underlying fruitiness that starts to come through a little later in the perfume’s development.
The dry down is pretty,sweeter and less tart than the opening, and keeping with the uniqueness of the rest of the scent.
Overall it’s warm, slightly gourmand and a little tropical, but not overly sweet, and so I think it’s feasibly wearable in any season.
Diesel Zero Plus has a slight cologne edge to it, and it could easily pass as a unisex scent in my opinion.
The bottle itself is very cool and the “box” (which is a plastic dome) reminds me of a futuristic movie spaceship.
Longevity and sillage are good… five hours plus on lasting time, which is longer than the majority of floral fruity scents stick around.
All in all a great, original scent, that can be found at bargain prices, and smells way more expensive than it costs.
Verbatim5 – :
I don’t care what anyone says about notes and longwinded reviews about this accord and that drydown. To me and many many others I have spoken to, this does have a coconut smell. It smells sinthetic but sharp at the same time. It is definitely woody. Somehow I love it. I only use a little bit because when I have oversprayed it I suffered the consequences. It is not nice. This when used correctly is a nice comfy perfume not sexy not cheap just a comfort smell. I think it has been discontinued I see it everywhere on huge discount not sure if that’s because no one likes it or because it is not produced anymore. I think it had more personality than some of Diesels other perfumes even though they are nice they are not as risky as this one. This one to me is like Pure Turquoise with Ralph Lauren. It makes no apologies for what it is. It is super strong smell and you can either like it or leave it. I am glad I have tried it and I don’t wear it everyday but when I do it lasts and it is pleasant. However, just because it seems like a coconut smell it is not good in hot weather it can be quite gross. It is similar to Versace Crystal Noir because that is not coconut but people keep smelling it including me. I think it gives Miami Glow by JLo a run for it’s money because it is a thick syrupy smell along the lines of Glow after Dark. If you are like me and like unusual notes mixed together but some how they work for you, then give this a try.

I love this scent! I can’t believe there are so many who don’t! It smells deliciously gourmand. The coconut smell is wonderful; mixed with the spices and dark fruits I think this is a very warm scent for cooler months and quite seductive but not overbearing. I love the red, rubberized bottle, just wish the spritzer sprayed out a bit more.

I agree with lilou.it’s a very strange perfume.I’m not sure whether I love it or I hate it.considering it smells like nothing I’ve ever smelt,with fruity notes makes me like it.on the other hand,it has something too loud and spicy that can make one nervous easily.personally I didn’t smell anything like coconut.but there is something warm.so definitely it’s not a summer fragrance.

What a strange perfume : I like it but there is something very masculine in it and usually I don’t like to use masculine fragrances. But this one is creamy and fresh at the same time, a little bit spicy, it smells coconut but it’s not so heavy. So I think that’s why I like to wear it. The only thing I don’t like : I can’t smell flower notes, where are they ? Now I would like to test other Diesel feminine fragrances.
