Different… but at first I couldn’t tell whether or not I liked it… then the dry down kicked in & I fell hard. This is a gem. Really clean citrus vibe in the opening & then that musky moss kicks in & there’s where I fell hard. Projects nicely at arms length & the longevity is around 3 to 4 hours. There’s a note in here I can’t quite put my finger on but man is it addictive! I do have to say, this at first smelled a lot like Xerjoff Nio.

I got this sample and one spray made me think of stepping off the plane in Hawaii and they put a Lei around your neck. That is what this is to me. Maybe not flying- but landing and lei’ed 🙂 NOT funny Laur- Not funny.

It’s a solid citrus scent that doesn’t smell artificial on me. The almond blossom and ozonic notes give this one a subtle edge that other newer citrus-heavy fragrances (California Clementine, I’m looking at you) don’t have. I don’t think I like it nearly enough to pay full price for it, but this sample that I have is a nice one to wear now that it’s getting super hot outside. I think that, come winter, I wouldn’t really even want to wear this anyway.

It’s an oké neroli … try layering it with Jil Sander Simply…much more interesting. Probably layers best with others but I found this one accidently…bottle broke!

This is a pleasant enough scent, fairly plain. On my skin, it is almost entirely neroli (not necessarily a bad thing). After a while it rounds out to have just a touch of a creamy almond scent in the background.
A pleasant scent, just not terribly deep or interesting.

Recieved this as a sample. Upon first spray, I smelled a tiny hint of orange, exactly like the smell of peeling the rind off of a fresh orange. The little citrus I was able to smell didn’t last for more than a minute, only to be replaced by a smell that, at first, I couldn’t put my finger on. It smelled familiar, vaguely “hippie-ish”, a smell that I liked and knew I’d smelled before, but couldn’t remember where. Then it came to me: head shop. Upon drydown, this perfume smells exactly like the Nag Champa incense that is sold in college record stores and head shops. Floral, musky, slightly woody, very slightly powdery/soapy. It’s a nice smell, I enjoy it, I’ve definitely burned my fair share of Nag Champa. I’m just not sure I want to walk around smelling of it.

For me, this was love at first spray…fresh, inviting citrus. Suddenly, this turned sharp and then settled into a lovely sweet feminine floral with a subtle spicy undertone. The accords are all here: citrus, white floral. floral, sweet, sweet spicy. Overall, a lovely fragrance. Would I purchase this? Yes. At this price point? I’m not sure.

Smells like a very pleasant hand soap from a fancy bathroom.
Oddly, I really like it.
On me, the almond is quite strong and comes out quickly. I don’t get much of the citrus after 5 minutes. I could see this being a good scent for a day lounging in sweats. It won’t overpower or irritate anyone, and it smells casual and clean.

The power of suggestion is strong with this one for me.
I received a sample and thought what a silly concept it was, a fragrance of flying? Joke was on me, I had no idea…
A blast of fresh air sweeping past you, almost a cold mountain air flowing through a pristine natural air conditioner, a natural electric charge. Along the way, a refreshing green and subtly sweetened air with hints of citrus join in the for the ride.
My little sample literally does sweep me away into a biplane of the long past, flying like Amelia Earhart with my hat and goggles, freer than ever before. Time passes and it’s time to land all too soon.
This ride isn’t one I can take often but I will watch for some special event day to buy another ticket to fly…

This is almost Identical to FM’s Cologne Indelebile (which itself is similar to Neroli Portofino but both FM and Flying have musk bases-basically it’s a little more masculine and dirty but fresh nonetheless). FM’s has a slightly longer longevity but I find the initial projection is stronger on Flying. Flying of course is a lot cheaper however. Nothing new in the fragrance world but a nevertheless classic with good performance and an acceptable price tag considering the quality. I own both NP and Cologne Indelebile so I won’t be purchasing this anytime soon but it IS the cheapest option of the three and for that reason I actually would recommend it over the other two

At first I loved the fragrance because it seemed very woody and earthy on the initial spray. But after some time it turned into sweet floral concussion with aromatic citrus on the background. It did remind me first of Neroli Portofino but then I realised it is very similar to Tom Ford’s Soleil Blanc because of that sweet ylang ylang and almond heart. I like the citrus bitterness that this fragrance contains but I am not a fan of floral compositions. I wish it stayed on that initial stage with aromatic, woody, androgynous character.

I just received a sample of this with my most recent re-purchase of Untitled, so I thought I’d leave my initial impressions.
This starts out smelling almost identical to Neroli Portofino, but then after 15-20 minutes, the citrus top notes fade out abruptly and Flying degenerates into a nondescript floral scent. I’m not 100% certain, but it definitely reminds me of Hermes’ Le Jardin de Monsieur Li. The fresh air aspect is completely lost in the floral melee, and if it is present, it’s too subtle to pick up.
The pronounced floral middle notes definitely move this from a resolutely unisex scent to one more suited to a female audience.
Longevity overall is ~2 hours before it turns into a skin scent for the remaining hour or two of its lifespan. EDP? Maybe, but it seems really weak.
I have tried 3 of the 4 new Replica scents with this one being my most recent acquisition. I don’t hate it, but I’m glad I got a sample first before puling the trigger on a $180 bottle.
Difficult to recommend. 2.5-3/5.
