Very impressed with this gem.Generally I’m not a fan of citrus fragrances due to A) their performance and B) Thier lack of the oriental which is kinda what I gravitate towards.
However the lemon/mandarin at the top of this fragrance is married with an effervescence that makes it fizz and pop.Once paired with the patchouli, this fizzing citrus gains a more earthy quality,stopping it from being a fresh fruity fragrance and adding a depth that helps to not only excentuate the tang from the citrus fruits but journeys you into the fruits core and it’s organic beginnings.
Personally I detect no floral element but do notice a very soft musk.Instead of helping to establish and round off the base of the fragrance I feel the musk sorrounds those notes from the beginning and softens their zing whilst still allowing enough facets of the lemon/mandarin to shine through and not be weighed down by the earthy patchouli.
I see many comments say that the longevity and sillage are bountiful.My own experience has been much more up and down.Some days I hardly notice it after an hour and some days (like the day I went to the hairdresser’s) I suffocate myself and anyone close to me. Maybe it’s my skin or maybe it’s the weather but I can’t give a clear opinion on its performance. Overall the fragrance is fantastic, a real find for patchouli lovers that have become tired of the endless use of patchouli as a base ‘filler’ note and long for a fragrance that uses patchouli in a new and exciting way.

I LOVED this in my early to mid 20s.
Back then I had no clue what any of the single notes were. I just loved its sweet fruity spritzy zingyness. And I loved the feel of the lace over the bottle.
Frankly… if I am very very honest to myself… it smelled a bit as if you were out with your friends and one of them accidentally poured some champagne (or if we are very very VERY honest some cheaper fruity kind of bubbly alcoholic beverage) on you.
I remember it does develop some peppery warmth on the dry down too. In any case something about it always psyched me up and energized me a great deal.
Loved it in winter as well as in summer.
But yeah, I’m 34 now, recently smelled it again in a store… and… nah… It’s definitely for a younger crowd, but even then I feel it might already start to smell a bit dated.
Might be wrong, but personally really don’t feel drawn to it anymore.

This is one hell of a sweet punch !! Sweet fix eat your heart out .. in a good way . First blast SPICEY … then Very very zingyyyyy …. fruitiness overload !! Sweeeet mama gummy bears delight .., patchoulis and citrus and spice – its a great scent . 10/10

This one genuinely surprised me!
I’d always been a little put off by Diesel’s gimmicky marketing, so I never really gave their perfumes a chance.
Trying this made me rethink myself.
Fuel for Life is at first glance another fruity patchouli oriental in the same vein as Coco Mademoiselle or Miss Dior Cherie. In my opinion, though, it improves on its predecessors.
While perfumes like Coco Mademoiselle hold some pretense to being chic and refined, Fuel for Life gleefuly embraces its own cheapness and goes for the weird and glitzy instead.
It takes the fruitchouli to such extremes that it creates an almost gummy bears effect, with a medicinal, peppery note reminiscent of hippie shops and pharmacies that stops it from being cloying.
Basically, it’s not merely pretty. It’s also got a wicked sense of humour.
Add it to the category of “Perfumes I can give my rebellious teen niece”, with Agent Provocateur and LouLou.

– You know you want me – ★★★★☆
Fuel for Life Femme, a very underrated fragrance here in Fragrantica. Composed by the dream team of Wasser, Menardo and Cavallier. Much like Menardo’s other work of art Visit by Azzarro, Fuel for Life possesses a very unique structure that feels interesting to the nose. It’s extremely sharp, explosive and tenacious but simultaneously sparkling and transparent. As a metaphor Fuel for Life smells like a starry sky – a thousand suns spit their unfathomably violent nuclear fusion into the space only to be observer as glittering dots by tiny human eyes.
Another essay on the great Angel partially by Menardo (Lolita Lempicka says hello) but this time instead romance and fragility they went all in kinky and shameless. I find Fuel for Life to be intensely sexual due to the pheromonal patchouli. It’s not the natural dirty hippie patch but that tight, slick and lusty self-assured contemporary type (*Midnight Poison quietly walks by*). Add nutmeg to the mix and you bet I’m getting excited. Finally there is some citrusy and floral almost mate-tea dryness that combined with the astringent blackcurrant evokes a deep-cutting chemical/gasoline quality sealing the composition with a motto of “try me, if you dare”. So much of a cute starry sky.
Of course I am reminded of Coco Mademoiselle but she is a classy cashmere-sweater type of a lady. Fuel for Life demands more space and attention with a siren foghorn patchouli that’ll either make you run in agonizing dread or tremor in wild intoxication. In that sense, I think the team was able to reanimate the legendary vampy aspects of Angel but more suitable for the younger audience. Sillage and longevity are both top notch to the point of seriously committing yourself to a neverending 12 hour fruity herbal ride. One hundred percent unisex too. If you’re prone to headaches, I can only advise to use Fuel for Life with caution – just like advertised.

Nice, and definitely an Autumn Fragrance in my opinion. As it dries down it starts to smell a bit like the vintage Max Factor perfume Geminesse, which oddly I can’t find here on Fragrantica, but that’s the notes I detect. Really nice and perfect for this time of year in the UK 🙂
Annaimals – :
This is a surprisingly good quality perfume with attitude and sex appeal while feeling clean and not overly musky.
I think it’s definitely a great date scent but it works as a fine staple, go-to scent as well.
bocman005 – :
This is an amazing patchouli scent, a fresh citrus burst leads into a little pepper and nutmeg spice followed by jasmine and earthy musty patchouli and vetiver. This scent has some massive silage and the longevity is incredible as well. There is a slight sweetness but this composition is more masculine (which I love) I could easily see men wearing this. Fuel For Life is great for patchouli lovers like myself that can get tired of all the sticky sweetness present in the mainstream patch scents for women.
wellstyle – :
anche se qualcuno lo definisce “sintetico” in senso cattivo, a me questo profumo piace, e pure tanto. ai primi spruzzi parte una gradevole sensazione fresca e pungente di arancia e pepe rosa, quasi tonificante. quindi l’evoluzione approda su un bel patchouli per nulla greve o dolce, direi piuttosto secco, probabilmente per il vetiver che lo circonda. mi sembra la controparte fredda di liberte di cacharel, che pure ha patchouli e arancia nella sua piramide, ma che punta ad un effetto più caldo e resinoso. molto buono.
appaggipicaps – :
I am a gourmand/sweetie fan and I had read “When I need my sweet fix, I turn to Fuel for Life” so when I found this for a steal on ebay- I went for it.
Um… well… I should have known that this much patchouli wouldn’t work for me.
While I liked this at first for the citrus and it was earthy sweet- it then became very very earthy and patchouli and I got sick of it. Two sprays on my skin lasted impressively- just too bad the drydown just isn’t my thing.
I may hang onto my bottle or sell on ebay.
serb – :
You know that Coco Madamoiselle advert where Keira Knightley jaunts around an empty Paris in a skintone jumpsuit on a definitely not remotely phallic motorbike to have creepy photoshoot sex with Some Guy?
The model who embodies Fuel For Life (probably Elizabeth Van der Horst or another MMA fighter/model) would speed past on a black Harley – flipping Knightley the bird with a perfectly manicured nail – before proceeding to decimate a world record for crossing America.
Fuel For Life has some bloody stamina, lets put it that way. I can apply it at eight o’clock in the morning, have a full (and pretty physical) day at work – and then by close to midnight when I shower before bed – I’ll suddenly realise that my perfume (or at least the base thereof) is still coming in loud and clear, and it takes plenty of shower gel to lift that tough base.
Now, there’s some fragrances I own with a comparable longevity *cough Chic Caroline Herrera cough*, which are about as welcome as a sty under winged eyeliner, but Fuel For Life is such a soulful fragrance – it just wants to make you feel good, and strong.
I’m one of those people who perfumes by mood, and this is the one I wear when I know I’m about to have a long day. It won’t go down without a fight and it won’t let you either.
elDiego – :
Very good. In the beggining (top notes) ‘diesel FFL’ reminded me Abril (victorio & lucchino) and diorissimo, two scents I tested years ago and, to be true, I don’t know very well, but they had (to my nose) a funeral vibe. Not a good idea… Over time though ‘diesel FFL’ developed into a delicious and comfortable scent. It’s not sweet or overpowering or invasive nor sexy (imo). It’s nice for everyday use, appropriate for office. Poor longevity/sillage though; after a few hours I couldn’t smell it as in the beggining, but I smelt it softly in my hair and behind my ears when I moved. So good!
Edit: I can’t understand these descriptions or classifications… In this page: “chypre floral” group? “chypre floral notes”? I don’t think so. To me chypre is another thing. Diesel FFL is floral.
79bas79 – :
I loooooooooveeed it so muchhhhh.. I think it’s unisex on me.
sgngen – :
Blind buy.
Because it was diesel and because it was on sale oh what a mistake.
Don’t hate it a 100% but don’t like it and I have to be honest I made a mistake.
I will not blind buy again….
Lesson learned
The presentation was so awesome it for me fooled into thinking the perfume would be awesome too…. Oh marketing…….
Good thing ir was discontinued won’t miss it. Actually sending it back tomorrow on the mail.
Do like the Diesel loverdose one 😉
black_angel64 – :
@margoval, thanks for that, i totally agree, something seems incorrect with the notes listed.
I also get mainly blackcurrant with this fragrance, as well as the pepper…
Its a stunning scent which i love, perfect for nights out, fresh + sweet & spicy all at once, and very long lasting.
Just curious about the nutmeg listed…?
iyas0909 – :
I bought this when I was quite young. I didn’t know anything about the brand and my older model-sister wore this and I really looked up to her, so that’s why I got it.
I loved the scent, and even though I don’t remember it being heavy on me, I always remember getting in the same car as my sister and the whole car would smell of her perfume.
I still love this scent but I don’t know if it is for nostalgic reasons.
RomaOnek – :
Oh, there’s nothing special in it. very soft but sweet, not long lasting . remind me so many other parfumes – everyday parfumes.
xhfgdd – :
this perfume was my everything while I was a teenager.It was edgy, sexy, cool I went through many bottles and still sniff it in shops till now but cant get my self to buy it anymore! just because I feel Ive grown since to get back to it!! wired I know.
SKIP1234 – :
I get why so many of us think of this a a younger woman’s scent, but she’s an interesting young woman who doesn’t follow the crowd. Having said that, I think I can get away with wearing Fuel for Life even though I’m in my 50s so long as I don’t spritz immediately before leaving the house as once you get past the initial waft of sweet fruitiness and the patchouli comes through, it gets a lot more grown up.
Balewop – :
I used to love Diesel during my teenage years. I think I bought this bottle when I was sixteen without even smelling it, just because it was Diesel 🙂 It did a fine job back then. I remember that I used the bottle quite quickly so it could not be too bad.
Would I buy it now, 12 years later? I don’t think so. I think I will have this associated with younger audiences probably forever 🙁
lotto19zai1 – :
I fell in love with this fragrance back in 2007. To me, it smelled like the person I wanted to portray–sexy, feminine, confident. To this day, I have not found another fragrance that matched its qualities: sweet but not candied/edible, woodsy but not masculine, and with a drydown that was warm and sensual/spicy. I will continue to search and please let me know if any one has any comparable recommendations!
lg444 – :
Awesome perfume. I feel so sexy and self-confident when I wear it ;))
lombardo130970 – :
Pink pepper and patchouli make it sexy and stylish. I see some similarity to the Coco Mademoiselle. Very nice and interesting scent. I would actually use it as a cheaper version of the Coco mademoiselle.
Great scent that smells like a classic, but is not.
This amazing perfume is one of my favorites now.
Edit: I tried it on myself and I was amazed, it’s just perfect, I was feeling really elegant!
uehjsowjaud – :
No doubt this is feminine and sexy, but if I overspray, it becomes cloying, and yes headache inducing. It is better I feel in winter, and for those who like scents with punch, it would do…I like it on occasions, the patchlouli bugs me a bit..I like it, but nothing more!! There is a seductive warmth that is so pleasant! As long as you dont bathe in it..
cecyinefeag – :
I think there is a mistake in the notes here. According to the official site of Diesel these are the notes:
Top notes: Mandarin, Pink pepper
Middle notes: Jasmine, Blackcurrant
Base notes: Patchouli, Musk
All I could smell in this perfume was blackcurrant and that’s why I searched for the notes. I adore this bold fragrance but I use it only when I go out at night because I find it too strong for daytime use. It gives me confidence and it lasts more than 12 hours.
stasok – :
Created by two great noses…and as such, I expected much from this one.
It’s far too sour and sharp on me, must be the pink pepper. That sharpness lingers and never leaves.
Sillage and longevity are moderate.
sasa6226 – :
I sniffed this in a magazine ad and bought it, excited for the sexy sultry patchouli-spice blend. Fuel For Life is the only perfume I have ever worn that gave me a headache. On one hand, the longevity and sillage are phenomenal. One really does not need more than 2 spritzes for the whole day. That said, I love toothache-inducing gourmands and those have never given me the nausea and discomfort of this scent. I feel like the pink pepper is very prominent and cuts into the patchouli and vetiver in a sharp and abrasive way. When last I smelled this, it stuck in my nose high up in my nasal passages for almost an hour. I do like the notes themselves but Fuel For Life did a number on my sinuses.
Pakanapima – :
Its a perfect perfume for me to when I’m going for a casual night out.
It smells fabulous without being too overpowering and its just amazing.
I won’t be using this for daily use, or for formal occasion, but its just perfect for a sip or two at the bar. Love this!
Plus, it lingers to my skin for 6 hours or so.
PRAROK – :
i really love , very sexy..
im a fun of diesel perfumes
shurhent80 – :
I have this. bought it last winter and I loved it then, I was crazy about it! I remember when I smelt it the first time, I loved it! But now… I don’t know.. not so much. Smells really weird. I’m not using it again very soon. I don’t know which note bothers me but it does. A lot!
evgesha281966 – :
Oh lord have mercy on this sweet patchouli heaven. This is such an awesome scent.
I fell in love with this at first sniff when it just came out and I love it to this day, almost seven years later. My signature for sure!
Great for everyday wear especially for fall which really brings out the spice and sweetness in a beautiful harmony!
akai1989 – :
Gets much lovlier than you’d expect after spraying. It settles into a cheerful fruity scent after a few minutes, with a bit of a tropical-floral vibe, and by the next morning (if you’re lucky enough to have it last on you this long) what remains is mostly the surprisingly soft and sensual patchouly base.
it’s extremely efficient against bad moods, almost like a vitamin supplement for the soul.
almark – :
Just AWESOME! Had it & wanna have it again!
SeregaSV – :
it smells very strong and causes headache, in my opinion. it smells good but I will never buy it again. I have not finished it yet although I bought it 1 year ago.
anh320speagoessenda – :
There are a lot of patchouli + jasmine + citrus fragrances out there. I think Diesel’s offering manages to hold it’s own.
Patchouli is definitely prominent as anyone can see looking at the note pyramid. I don’t find it particularly dirty though, more woody. The mandarin has a nice bittersweet quality. The jasmine isn’t what I’d call “dirty” but it definitely has some of that heady, night blooming quality. I’d say it actually smells a bit more like carissa. If you reside in Southern California you’ll be familiar. They’re those bushes with tiare looking flowers that are everywhere.
I don’t really get a pronounced gasoline type note. There is something that reminds me a bit of Fahrenheit (also noted for having a gasoline type smell) but it’s not strong. Comes and goes.
gdfg – :
I like it on my friend but on me this is way to sharp. I believe this parfume develops diferently on peoples skin so my recomendation is that you try this on before you blind-buy it!
DIvIPEr – :
I believe this fragrance suits me the best. I really love trying new perfumes so I’ve tried them a lot last years but I think after 5 years I am just going back to this strong powerful scent. If you are a WOMAN, more classy than posh but in the same time intrigued by some real MAN stuff and you don’t mind strong perfume I believe this is a fragrance for you. With this perfume I have linked a picture of a woman with hair from the 50’s, wearing fishnet stockings, a little black dress, red nails and lipstick, lots of pearls and in one hand a smokey whiskey and in the other hand a revolver..strong, powerful, elegant but dangerous not afraid to get smudged :))
And to the notes.. I agree that you can smell something like real fuel in it 🙂 but I always liked the smell of my fathers garage..and after a while I can smell something sexy probably the patchouli and..I don’t know why but I smell blackcurrants in it 🙂 sweet spicy juicy blackcurrants
propan25 – :
this fragrance really give me ”fuel for life”.i can wear it every day,everywhere,forever!!!
Hottabich – :
After testing it in Fenwicks four years ago and buying for much less online, I wore this perfume first on a gorgeous sunny day in July at a friend’s 40th birthday party. The overall composition is something so distinctive that I feel I can now only wear it on hot days in July when I am partying. I think that says something about how distinctive it is, but also about needing to be in just the right mood to wear it. It’s not for everyone, not for everytime and not for every weather… it’s for when the situation is just right, when it’s perfect.
(I know that hasn’t shed any light on the notes etc, but I’m reviewing with my atmospheric, holistic head on 😉 )
DirtyRose – :
I blind bought this awhile ago,I purchased due to the hype,and was a little underwhelmed,Its OK,at first it seems similar to other Patch/fruity/musky types settles quite nicely though,Not a favourite scent of mine but quite pleasant.
probably wouldn’t buy again I actually prefer that warm cinnamony scent of Diesel zero plus on my hubby,mmmmmmmmmm 🙂
Andy1993 – :
A major… confusion. I remember sniffing the bottle a while ago and putting it back on the shelf immediately, repulsed. The name seemed very appropriate. That’s just what it smelled like: fuel.
Today, I was curious enough to sniff again. This time, it smelled quite good, so I did the unspeakable: applied it on my wrist… And it was still good. It appeared to be rather fruity and sweet but had a very unique, somewhat dark touch to it.
Back home, I looked up the notes. Patchouli, pepper – surprise, surprise, because this is stuff I usually avoid like the plague. But I did actually detect the patchouli, and I still enjoyed the scent.
HOWEVER… it has now developed its gasoline type of smell again, and I honestly find that a little funky. As insane as that might sound, it reminds me a little of “Fahrenheit” by Dior which is probably the most disgusting perfume I have ever come across. (Sorry, guys.) Who would want to smell like a truck stop, even if you’re a man? These fragrances don’t have anything else in common, but it is that gasoline smell that I cannot condone at the time. And, man, for a moment I seriously considered adding this to my wish list. I might have to test it again, and only time will tell whether I’ll end up thoroughly enjoying it or not.
Plus points: The bottle is interesting, so is the ad campaign. It underlines the uniqueness of the scent very well, and I find myself fond of that.
IMV – :
Un aroma diferente, fuerte y que hace voltear cabezas. Algunas personas la aman y otras no tanto. Personalmente me gusta por eso, porque no huele a otra. Dura bastante. Es sexy y te hace sentir “fuerte”.
runnei – :
Guys, I just bought this one, I confused it with Diesel Fuel for Femme Unlimited… It’s brand new, I sprayed it only once and I immediately observed it’s not the same… 75 ml, I would gladly give it for the one that I like, if someone has it and wants this one… Don’t hesitate to contact me! 🙂 Oana
Pms007 – :
Agreed with Jama4! It is very long lasting, and gives a beautiful and unique dry down! Everyone who loves “sweet spicy” scent should attempt this fragrant ! Highly recommended!

Mamacita caliente in a bottle!! (‘hot little mama” in spanish)
Fuel For Life is quite strong. I think a perfume collector must have a few strong perfumes in his or her collection as I learned is important for certain situations. I used Fuel For Life on an international flight that spanned 3 continents. The whole time I did not have access to a shower!!! At the end of it all was surprised ….Fuel did not ditch me half way through my trip!!! I still smelled good when I arrived at my destination. I was shocked by its longevity and how it bloomed into something beautiful when given time to work with my chemistry (like arin.widhiasi). Fuel for life is a unique patchouli based perfume and is worth a try.
My Skin Type: Oily / Youthful
Longevity: 12 hrs +
Projection: 4 feet +
Office Safe: No too strong
Potency: HEAVY (1 or 2 sprays is enough)
Timing: anytime of the year / evenings
Packaging: 9/10; unique with the fishnet wrapped around the bottle
Cost: about $90 USD for 100ml / 3.38oz at Duty Free Stores

I had this quite a while ago, its unique and smells really good, bit liquorice and citrus, feminine though not too sweet.
Chimchilik – :
I bought this blind, off of a discount shelf and I must admit that I was not terribly impressed at first. There was however, a slight remembrance of Coco Mademoiselle that the nose sent to the brain somehow for me. I decided to try layering it under Coco Mme EDT and WOW! My indifference melted away and I was totally blown away by this combo. The combo is better than either of the fragrances alone. Better than anything!! For me this is the “best ever” Chypre!
opponnaAntamp – :
All of the negative reviews are surprising to me! I spritz it twice on my torso about an hour before going out to let it mellow, and it lasts all night and into the morning. It makes me feel super sexy and who does not want that feeling?! Love, love, love it!
treyser – :
I tried this out today for the first time. In the beginning I found it a little overpowering, but as time went by and it wore off on my skin (very hot day in South Africa) I really began liking it more and more.
I do not own it and it’s just a tester but first impression is that I would love to wear it again. It reminds me of Jean-Desprez’s Bal-a-Versailles (which I actually don’t like very much). But I certainly prefer it to Bal-a Versailles.
alexandru.cebotari – :
Over time it gets absolutly lovely, certain notes become prominent as the day goes on and changes with you, ending with a beutiful warm kinda patchouli, lasts ages.
Its a harsh start so i only do the ‘spray in the air and walk into’ a couple of times front and backwards for a good cover.
Its a sexy scent, very strong feminine.
bizzzon – :
I got it from my mom’s friend.
It’s really strong, used it a couple of times, don’t like it much.
paradokc – :
for sure is not for everyone!!it’s so unique that you can’t be indifferent, yes..a love or hate perfume!!i gind it way too intresting, it dos not reminds me anything of other perfumes and that is a bonus for me.in my skin seems to last forever..!and i can say it is the only perfume that has beeen left in the bottle from last winter(don’t wear it in summer!!) and i’ll start wearing it again…
kers – :
A smooth, feminine frag which does not last long…
I applied 6 heavy sprays
0-1 hour- 1 foot projection. A light gourmand which is a little bit chic, but is mostly smooth and feminine. Most dominant is nutmeg with a hint of fruit and a little sexiness. Nothing spectacular but lovely nonetheless. Ages 36- 45
1 hour – 2 hours. 2 inch projection. More of a mid-mature floral now. Ages 42 – 58
2-4 hours – Close to skin
Good start but fades quickly
ANDREY62310205 – :
I guess this is one of those fragrances that you either love or hate, and I LOVE it. I don’t get the “gas station smell” that others were talking about, with my chemistry it’s more like a sweet lemon tea, maybe with a hint of ginger, which is great for hot weather. I have a mini and will be getting a full size bottle. I was looking for a light, sweet and invigorating scent for summer and this is it. Longevity is not bad, about 4-5 hours. I also like that fact that it did not turn synthetic on me.
АлеККсанДр – :
I hate this so much. It gives me an instant headache, and to me it smells way too strong, I can’t quite describe this scent, it wreaks of strong florals though. STRONG, very strong, not light at all.
slargaign – :
Love this scent!Used it actually as a base for Poison.First i would apply Fuel For Life and after a few minutes would spray Poison on.And voila weapon of mass destruction!i really like perfume layering and in this case whenever i used Fuel, Poison would evolve much better(and less bitter on my skin), travel through the air and leave a trace..Better suited for nightime in this combination.
acermegg – :
Normally I don’t think I’d care for a fragrance this sweet but there is something so juicy and delicious about this one I can’t resist it! But I don’t get citrus I get MANGO! – really ripe, smooth flesh bursting with juice – complete with that weird faint ‘petrol’ thing that comes with the real fresh fruit. It’s bizarre but gorgeous – and addictive!
oblom1972 – :
I had this at one time and I really liked it at first. But I started noticing that the dry down was overly sharp and the patchouli in this isn’t very well done at all. Don’t get me wrong, I love patchouli and earthy scents, but it has to be done right. I couldn’t get over the sharpness or the gasoline-y smell that others have mentioned, so I gave it away. I really wanted to love it because the notes were right up my alley, but I guess it just didn’t go with my chemistry. The aroma was a bit headache inducing too, which is a rarity for me. With all this being said, use it in the cooler months as it is somewhat heavy and definitely don’t blind buy this one.
svolo4 – :
First time I tried at the counter I bought one bottle, I was a little unsure about and decided to test again (before open my bottle) started good a little odd but good, then show up some green and when I reach home (two hours later) I could smell in the deep “a smelling armpit” in my wrist-> which make me go to store and return it.
Anyway I know that I have a skin with a “troubled PH”, so maybe in other person would smell great.
Try before buy and wait at least one hour to see how will be on your skin.

Smells like acetone in the opening, then something very harsh kick in. It’s fuel for something but not for life i think. Sorry…

Very nice fragrance, I love it for everyday wear. It’s special but the lasting power is so so…
negr – :
I have this perfume in a 75 ml bottle, and I have only taken 3-5 sprays. I do not think I’d get it used again, I´ve given it a big change. As one has written, I also think it gets very masculine, and the funny is that when I spray it on I think it smells a little bit of gasolin. It’s just so strange a scent that I have a hard time finding a occasion to take it on – it gets very heavy on me and I almost get a totally headache from it. Thinking it´s very strong/generous, and I think if you are wearing this scent, you really stands out from the crowd. Don´t get me wrong, I really think this parfume is very good on the right person – this scent is simply not for me. .
I guess it just never really been that popular here in Denmark. If anyone out there wants to buy a full bottle of Diesel, I have one for sale. I have the box and “clothes” to the bottle as well.
buliakov – :
Yuk! Just one of many ‘designer’ fragrances that smell sickly sweet over a heavy-handed dose of musk. I find it utterly repellant. I am a great fan of the Diesel brand, but perfumes are not their strong suit.

I really like this one. It mixes well with my skin. Smell is adventurous, exciting, daring and enticing. A stranger gave me one free try, and I was sold. Bought the following week. I guess it is a fragrance (as with many things in life) that either works for you or it doesn’t. Cheers 🙂

i loved this fragrance so much! when i tried this,i was shocked;this was an amazing perfume and it was the one that i was looking for! i didnt wait and i bought it. but after some hours,i checked it and i noticed there isnt anything special with this perfume,it was so easy to love or hate. Still,it is a very good perfume,its notes are in a good combination and it is a modern smell. if u buy it,it’ll worth to ur money.
