An extremely creative exercise in merging different elements into one product. Drifter presents us with a professional and competent attempt to merge fruity, citric, spicy and aromatic tones into one fashion designer brand buttressed by an excellent marketing campaign.
What do you get with Drifter besides a fantastic bottle of bohemian insinuations that contrasts dramatically with the $200-400 asking price for a pair of jeans from this faux hipster/hippie suburbanite mall institution?
A very quality mainstream release that didn’t resonate with buyers despite its creativity and originality in attempting to pair blackberry, apricot, pear, ginger and woods into a cohesive modern release. The accords themselves as a whole are very unique and exciting for the genre of aromatic fruity, truly incorporating a range of kitchen cabinet favorites like pear and apricot with the darker tones of blackberry and lighter spice of ginger in a very innovative way. Unfortunately, the composition as a whole is extremely soft and flighty. There’s not a lot of power or projection after an hour when the top wears off.
I would say more about this fragrance if there was more performance to speak of. It’s absolutely lovely in its balance of freshness and fruitiness and the risks the designers took with it, giving us something rather unique.
On my skin I simply don’t get the performance required to give this a full assessment. I’m lucky to get 5 hours and by the first or second it’s a fleeting fragrance of mostly soft sandalwood and watery vetiver with a hint of amber. Within 15-30 minutes Drifter becomes a skin scent, even with 3 sprays.
I give it an incomplete on final product and an A for innovation and conception, it simply needed a bit more follow through on the product development and test market sides of the business before release.

Kind of a similar type of ed hardy love and luck type vibe with this…very light and can barely smell after applying..would prefer something a Lil stronger and noticeable…but its not a bad scent..nice but not exceptional in my opinion..smells like fresh apricots…score 7/10…

Pros:
-Can be found at a very low price
-Decent start out cologne
-Nice light & sweet scent that would be best described as aqua red fruits and berries
-People close to you (physically) will compliment you on it
-Hardly smells “cologny” so you can bypass those people with sensitive noses
-Versatile usage in basis settings (shopping, eating out, home alone)
-All seasons, anytime scent
-Lasts moderatly well using some techniques
-Definitly is something targeted for the “teen” crowd but can work for others fine
-For some strange reason I associate this cologne with the colour red, and in fact call it my “red scent”
Cons:
-Very light sillage
-It does start to fade very quickly after applying
-Its not something that really hits home as it is too light
-Many will find that sillage is poor
-Not something that you would use in statement settings (Date, nightclub, etc…)
-Spraying a lot on you to increase longetivity will drain your bottle quickly
-Its not something I would consider a “drifter” wearing
I bought this cologne on sale for next to nothing. It is a decent cologne that I mainly use when I am home or going out to do general things like shopping or meeting a friend. This is the only cologne so far that confuses me in scent. Looking at the notes you can highly influence somebody into believing what it smells like. At first I always thought it smelt of a mixture of red berries, now I think it smells like apples and berries. Reading the notes I did start noticing an aqua scent and also a ginger scent. It doesn’t seem to want to be just one thing but many. However that is not a bad thing. It does however, allow you to change peoples perspectives on what its primary notes are.
In regards to sillage there is really none. For longetivity I normally spray 8-10 times (3 around neck, 3 on chest, 1 on each wrist, 1 on the antecubital spaces (“inside elbow”) and give it an hour before meeting anybody as this cologne does fade quickly but if liberally applied, can last quite some time. ***WARNING*** IT WILL BE EXTREMELY STRONG AT FIRST. However I have never had anybody complain about it being too strong(after the hour wait time). I have been complimented on it but only by somebody who was litterally by my neck; so after so many sprays, people need to be practically on you to enjoy. Its a great grab and go cologne as the price won’t make you feel guilty for wearing it when you are alone at home. If you are looking to get used to colognes I would recommend it, however don’t expect people to really notice it on you. Buy it for yourself to enjoy, not for others.

Not bad but nothing great either. This one is ok for running errands or sitting at home.

I kind of forced this one on my husband. Smelled it on a very attractive man I once knew and fell in love with it. It is my absolute favorite men’s fragrance. It’s so well balanced, both warm and sweet. The dry down has a hint of spiciness that makes me think of a sexy sweaty man, which probably doesn’t sound good for the nose but it appeals to me very much. Unfortunately, this one has a different reaction on my husband than it did on my old friend and it’s not as appealing but still a good solid scent for any man. Maybe it’s just that it’s more of a young man’s fragrance.

on my skin this stuff smells like a wet cat. This is a definite scrubber. It smells good on paper, but not on my skin at all.
nikman – :
its sort of like red lacoste or something along those lines in smell but not as bright. It lasts a long time and they tried for the bottle with a different look and feel compared to another cheap glass or plastic bottle.
I tried a tester last year around boxing day not expecting much but I was really surprised with how it smelled.
nataliya-87 – :
I love the smell and also the bottle. Pitifully, the longevity on my skin sucks. Not a cologne for me-_-‘
mrak – :
This is the kind of cologne that doesn’t project too much.. but it’s one of those that once a girl gets close to you they go crazy about. Smells very nice and lasts quite a while, at least on my skin I had no issues whatsoever. Used it early in the morning, around 5 am when I left my house, came back at 11:30 still smell strong, went to sleep for a few hours, woke up at 1 ish, could still smell it, just not as much, if I had to rate it’s def. a 8.5/10 smells nice and unique in a way, it’s not very used, as it’s not popular so impression on the other person is pretty good.
hatasha2010 – :
Fruity and strong. Its nice!
evgeniy5159 – :
to give you an idea, is the acqua di gio essenza with a touch of apricot smell…this is all…turns towards aquatic more than fruity at least on the paper.
PTihonov – :
just picked this up at Marshalls, i got a complete gift set for 25$ which came with a 3oz Body Wash, 1.7oz Bottle, & a small .25oz bottle for on the go..
when i first smelt it, i liked the smell. i actually like the scent more than the original..
however, this is not a strong scent, and it does NOT project very well.. i am pretty disappointed and am contemplating bringing it back..
scent = 7/10
lasting appeal = 5/10
projection = 2/10

Interesting bottle, bad scent. From the ad copy: “…inspired by the bohemian, hippie…” Stop right there. I hate hippies. No wonder I don’t like this stuff.
Oreol – :
It was made in the same vein as J.D. Pozo On El.
Drifter is sharper and stronger at first than On El, still it stays close to the skin.
A big fruitbasket but only apricot is prominent. I can’t separate the other notes and this scent very quickly settles down and the notes meld into each other somehow. Longevity is 2-3 hours on me , sillage is literally 0.
The general impression is a masculine but soft skinscent.
Recommended only for summer, in other season no one notices it…nor does the wearer.
I wish I haven’t payed so much for an almost-nothing scent…
nice22g – :
The woodsy notes seem to overpower anything else in the cologne. There is a small fruity scent and it’s a lighter cologne that some tend to be but it’s not my style.
mouse_xl – :
eh it is ok… reminds me of a younger mans cologne. nice, but it seems like it would wear off fast. not impressed. really loves Bleu De Chanel and Chrome by Azzaro. worth it to check them out!
Evang3 – :
this is not what I expected, I tested both TR’s, original and drifter, and both I have to give’em away because didn’t like them at all, thanks God they were for test.
May be some people like them, but at least me I can’t smell’em anymore.
alex807 – :
Orange, woody mixture, a lil weak, not what I imagine as a drifter, but still a nice scent. Sadly, I expected too much from a designer label, and thats my own downfall.
ddt304elipseskism – :
This stuff is horrid! You’d be much better off buying something from the Adidas line.
duke12 – :
I agree is nice and at the same time is strange but in some elements is intriguing without be a complex scent. Very hard to identify notes and transitions. At first the smell is intense, saturated and unclear, some fruity & wet touch with a minimal flowery tune changing into the aromatic-semi spicy watery final phase, in the end the smell is easy to enjoy ,is quiet, manly, versatile and maybe sexy.

This is the nicest Aromatic Fruity scent that I have ever come across. It’s fresh, sweet, and fruity with a bite of some tartness. There is a hint of aquatic character but it is well tamed by the fruit fest. It’s not dark nor edgy as the bottle suggests. It never get artificial nor too sweet either. It is just nice fresh smell for this group. In fact, I think it’s nicer than Azzaro Chrome Legend or Jesus Del Pozo Quasar; the other two Aromatic Fruity frags that I have tried before. The Drifter is not as mellow as these two.
