Does exactly what it says on the tin , citrus / mint and a herbal note , really nice summer fragrance , this is better than many costing £40 , great value so go get it !!!!!

Great scent if you are into your fresh scents being heavy on the herbal-green side, like Lanvin Homme Sport/Live Jazz/ect.
Personally, I’m not…so I moved on quickly from it. But still a very good offering to those that like this style of “sport” fragrance. Longevity was surprisingly good too.

Manlovescologne on YouTube suggested this cologne and attested to its performance quality and I followed his advice and purchased a bottle of this online for around €10 ($15). I’ve worn it several times this week and have been impressed with its fantastic longevity and sillage with just one spray. Sure, much of that has to do with the heavy dose of liquid that comes from the sprayer on this one, but this was a well executed and blended scent that is second to none as far as a sports, athletic and gym fragrance for spring, summer and early fall. This projects very well and doesn’t let up until four hours into wear. The citrus is front in center early on this one, but unlike many who say they get mostly lemon or grapefruit, on my skin the orange is front and centre with the mint until the herbal spices wrestle control away after ten minutes. After that it remains rather linear with a soft musky garden spice and herbs backyard quality with a tinge of citrus that holds out deep into the dry down. I smell the faintest hint of tea but it never really plays a significant role in this one. Longevity is excellent at 8-10 hours and projection is very good, even with one spray. One of the best values on the market, put away the Armani ADG and grab a little bit of originality back in your life by spraying a bit of this on after the gym, you’ll get the same fresh, citrus and spicy feel but with more durable packaging and performance. Not a sensation scent on its own merit, best left to sports and hot days when Deo doesn’t seem to do the job effectively enough.

A green citrusy scent blended with some cacao and tea. I think it is one of the better and different citrus scents with great longevity and sillage. It is uplifting and fresh with a little twist. I got to mention the great spritzer, it is one of the best I have encountered. The bottle is great to bring along in a bag, and makes an excellent gym/travelling-companion. For the price it is a no-brainer.

a great work out scent. during and after. i have my equipment here so i don’t go to the gym. but if i do and i have to go some place after working out, i’ll definitely wear this. you know, just after wiping off all of your sweat and you have some other place to be, spray this on!
very sporty. very adventurous. clean fresh sharp mint scent.

Almost like being in a candy shop very morish love the twist in the dry down smooth clean, warm, classy, slightly sweet, fresh, you could snuggle up to this smell – my view outstanding – if you see it buy it

A really nice green/citrus scent. Nice spearmint note. Very, very fresh. Longevity and sillage moderate. Well worth getting for summer and because of the metal bottle it comes in, great for travelling. Good summer holiday scent!

Eau Maximum was designed to be worn right after the gym, I can’t find a more perfect fragrance for this. It’s strong, sharp, green and full of energy. Makes you feel very fresh and invigorated after you wear it.

I liked the opening but then the projection (“sillage”) dropped off considerably. I did two full sprays to the chest, which is generally the most I ever do. I liked the citrusy/herbal quality, and I generally don’t like citrus, but it just didn’t last. I’ll have to try it again to see if this was just due to getting over a cold (my nose was a bit clogged). However, as things stand, I would suggest Green Jeans or Elegance by Lacoste instead, since both last a very long time with excellent projection.

Smells remarkably similar to YSL Pour Homme. Which for me, is a bad thing. I do not like the bitterness of either fragrances. For the money I’d say this is a very good fragrance. Judging by the ingredients this is due to the use of real oils and not synthetic chemicals.

This fragrance is extremely refreshing. I found this at TJ Maxx (an American discount store, for our reviewers that are not American), and it was only around 7 or 8 dollars. It is quite fresh and “sporty” like a Hollister or Abercrombie and Fitch cologne, however it is by no means cloying, nauseating or boring – this is refreshing and different. It opens up with a refreshing blast of Lemon – the Lemon is combined with other Citrus, Orange and Grapefruit. Sage and Patchouli give the fragrance some herbal body, while Cocoa & Cinnamon gives it a bit of sweetness. Synthetic but at the same time natural. Very cooling thanks to the Spearmint; this is a perfect fragrance for summer. This fragrance lasts a while for the type of fragrance it is – a perfect fragrance for a young person, and for anyone else looking for a refreshing pick-me-up or summer cologne. Great for the gym as well, the price you can find it at makes this a steal.
Kind of reminds me of a more masculine, sportier Concentre d’Orange Verte by Hermes.

An energetic, fresh, sour-herbal fragrance (not for sweet smell lovers I’m afraid…nothing sweet or musky there), very good for sporty guys…like me:).
Pretty long lasting, very strong evidence in the first couple of hours, giving you a bitter-fresh-herbal aura along the day. Drydown is far away from here and I did’n felt actualy any sweet notes (nutmeg? cinnamon ?…maybe I wasn’t paid enough attention)
Anyway, good blind buy at an affordable price a nice surprise overall and a unique addition in my wardrobe. ☣☣
p.s.for LuckyStar1
From what I’ve read ‘Active Treatment’ is the same as ‘eau de soir et de parfum’…at least in Nickel’s vision….I know that they aren’t two different versions of this one.

I saw this at TJ Maxx and was intrigued (been looking for Enemy for men for a while now), but it was in the womens section and I had just done a large purge of cheaper womens scents. When I got on-line and read up on it I discovered it was actually for MEN(no notation of this on the box)and a large bottle of it was 65.00 on the nickel website…I got a 2.5 oz. for 7.99!! 🙂
This fragrance is really nice (I sprayed it in the store after purchasing it and one of the SAs was gonna snatch up the last one for her man!)and super sexy, in a fresh, warm aromatic and earthy way, and the fact it is constructed around the aroma of coca leaves makes it all the more exotic and slightly more ‘taboo’..
Initially it is powerful citruses and mint, very refreshing. Then it moves into a more herbal green/spicy phase that includes thyme, rosemary and sage (all that’s missing is the parsley-LOL).
The lemon is so light and kinda feminine in this (I love amalfi lemons so much)and green tea keeps the herbals from becoming too pungent. Coca leaves, in their natural state, are very bitter and kinda medicinal smelling but here they add to the overall effect of verdant and sexy with a dangerous edge. Cocaine(made from coca)is a very strong aphrodesiac for some, perhaps that is why it was added. Upon drying completely, the warmer spices of nutmeg (nice) and cinnamon (warm) combine with patchouli and musk to create a very elegant and natural smelling sensual man-scent. This is an eau de parfum so spray accordingly. It is reccomended for evening (eau soir)but I wear it in the daytime too, as it is so green and sexy. This is a juice for a man who is confident and self-assured, and secure with who he is…
Sillage: very good
Longevity: great
Overall: 4.5/5
This scent completely swept me off my feet and impressed me with its crafting, packaging and overall effect. If you want something green, slightly spicy but still fresh and very sexy…give this juice a go, it Rocks!!

This one opens with a sharp zesty Lemon & Lime combo. It is okay and then this turns into herbal spicy scent. I get this woodsy green aromatic overall character. I don’t get any tea or even feel it because of this sharp zestiness always stick around, and it gets bothersome.
It stays fresh, sharp, and somewhat heavy on my skin. As the spicy note fades, it releases some sweetness at the end. Overall, it’s not exactly my type but wearable. The sharpness is just unpleasant but invigorating. Luckily I didn’t pay much for it.
