I got this for a steal a tester bottle with box from Fragrance X for only $20.00 wow .
Very fresh green grassy aromatic type frag that just makes me want the summer to be here again! Has a classy vibe to it also. Modern ,manly you can really pick up the geranium,lavender and lastly vetiver notes. I get about 5 hours but for the price though I’m not complaining. I hear they now have an Intense version ! Would buy it again!

I’m discovering a love-hate relationship with violet leaf. There’s a tipping point right in the middle between sweet and dry compositions, and in the dry compositions violet leaf is a huge turn off, where is in those on the sweet side of the ledger – from just over the line (Azzaro Chrome United) to the moderately sweet (Mont Blanc Emblem) to the decidedly sweet (YSL L’Homme) I find it quite pleasant. I suppose that means I prefer it as more of a complementary note to sweeter components.
When it is itself one of the sweeter primary notes in the blend, as it is here, I actually find it too much of an aquatic / vegetable note and not to my taste at all.

Wore for the first time today and it’s quickly becoming one of my favorite spring fragrances. My first impression was wow this is the grassy scent I’ve been looking for… and the green/grassy note smells amazingly natural for such a “cheapie” I got for $18. I purchased this baby last winter and put it away until the spring. I did not even open the box until today… I wanted to smell it for the first time on a nice sunny spring day. Well, that day has come and so far on first impression I’m very pleased with Paul Smith. I truly enjoy green notes in fragrances, especially grassy notes this time of year and this did not disappoint! In fact, it has thus far exceeded my expectations. This reminds me of my days playing college and semi-pro baseball in the outfield smelling the grass on my uniform after diving for a line drive. It also reminds me of going to Fenway Park in Boston on opening day smelling the fresh green grass. This Paul Smith is really bringing back some nice memories..
However, I don’t get the comparison to Fahrenheit other than a similar violet note. This is much greener than Fahrenheit, brighter and more spring-like. Don’t get me wrong, I love Fahrenheit, and it’s also in my spring rotation. They’re just different fragrances and for in my case for different occasions. Fahrenheit obviously is much more masculine and for men primarily IMO.
As for the performance of Paul Smith, I’m still testing and will report back on the outcome. All in all, if you guys/gals like grassy-green fragrances, you’re going to love this I believe.
Нагорнов Сергей – :
I love it! High quality, light, grassy, fresh. Very good for everyday use.
impumCagSpoug – :
Great fragrance, close to Dior’s Fahrenheit but greener.
I like it very much.
The bottle is heavy and purely designed with a classy screw cap.
By the way there is no review of Paul Smith’s Extreme Men yet. I have it and I can tell you it is not intense at all. Very disappointing.
kalen_19_2 – :
Very good. I like it so much i force it a little, and i am wearing this in autumn.
This is fresh summer morning in a bottle.
Recommend for all ages.

At first glance, and sniff, there is nothing special about Paul Smith. It isn’t very strong, it is not ground-breaking nor the possessor of exotic notes. This is not a panty-dropper or niche. It is a warm weather only fragrance to boot.
However, Paul Smith is an excellent fragrance in spite of all those so-called “deficiencies”. Simple notes create a citrus-melon opening with a green mid and dry-down with an ample dose of violet aand some musk. Think a fresh mown lawn with the scent of violet, a slight tinge of mint and pine. It is fresh, wonderful and an excellent interpretation of what a warm weaher fragrance can be, besides an oceanside creation.
You can apply as much as you want without fear of over-applying, in fact you will need to. If you put a lot on it will last the entire day leaving you smelling fresh of the outdoors and soapy. Yes, the comparisons to fahrenheit are valid, this would be its strippped down counterpart, no leather and desiel here. I think of this as a sharper more herbal take on mugler cologne.
Always brings me back to Memorial day weekend, being a younger man and all of the wonderful summer memories I made while wearing this. A staple in my fragrance that can be had for incredibly low prices.
olenka7726 – :
Cheap and Cheery. This is my go-to fragrance on mornings when I’m feeling a little dusty. This scent somehow always lifts my mood. The minty violet accord feels fresh but never thin nor synthetic. Sillage is moderate and quite linear. Simplicity in a bottle at very reasonable prices. Win-win.
Mr.Tolik – :
The lightness of this fragrance makes it perfect for everyday. I may be the only person who knows that I have it on when I’m wearing it. Its passivity is a grace note to its herby green, citrusy freshness. Look at the translucent green bottle (so dependably square)–what you see is what you get. I rechristen it “Paul Smith – Nice Men”
Bobocel – :
This is a great little scent, fresh and clean and a nice mint.
I’ve seen quite a few people complain about mint not being “done well”, saying it may come across as toothpasty or synthetic. If you ask me about the mint in this I’ll tell you not to worry, it’s great.
It is so cool, fresh and simple and not synthetic-like. I could smell it on me but unfortunately just does not seem to last for long or project far.
As I write this the top three voted notes are violet leaf at one, mint at two while bergamot comes in third. That is about all I can make out, those three and they make such a great trio.
Not expensive and well within reach for many just starting out and it’s best for warmer weather.
veslopolova – :
subtitute for Fahrenheit Dior…thank god!!!
sushenkosanya – :
I hear this is similar to Fahrenheit however it doesn’t have leather in it and i cant stand the smell of leather. First thing I noticed was Geranium followed by Basil and Oakmoss the Citrus is strong but neutral has decent lasting power and dries down pretty nice. I like it as a work fragrance for sure, for anything else remains to be seen.
wregrarvedund – :
I tried this years ago and despite being a real violet fan I’ve never taken to this or Paul Smith fragrances in general but I felt I should revisit it and make sure.
Fresh opening of herbal/citrus basil which comes off a little like tea. Then it sweetens up massively and becomes very floral, mainly violets but I can smell lavender and maybe a bit green with some hiacynth?
Something about this scent I just find a bit awkward and cheap the opening hour or so is really big and intrusive but it just dries down to a powdery violet and woody vetiver musk…which in all fairness is okay.
лошадь – :
Violet and vetiver stick out mostly. a clean veitver not dirty. Very fresh in the same realms as Guerlain Vetiver. Light basil and woods give it the stamina to project about 6 hours with arms length sillage. Overall I am satisfied.
Wadeombemendy – :
سرزنده ترین عطر دنیا شاید لقب خوبی باشه براش
واقعا یه طراوت بی نظیری داره
این عطر برنده ی جایزه (شیکترین) عطر فی-فی هم بوده
و میشه گفت پایه گذار یه سبک بی نظیر تو عطر ها و شاخه ی عطر های خنک بود
در واقع عطرای خنک توی یک خسیسه مشترک هستند و اون هم اینه که وقتی بوشون بهمون میرسه احساس شادابی میکنیم
و چی بیشتر از نت های گرین میتونه آدم رو حال بیاره؟
dance58 – :
green is the word apple, grassy, its fresh long lasting its a day one nice in the summer for me very cooling
nea892bedyWelty – :
cool and inspired reminiscent of dior’s fahreneit but still original and signature in a way, one of my personal favs and the only one from paul smith’s that i love to wear. Plus cheaper than dior’s but with not cheap smell.
jason44 – :
Green indeed. At first, the only thing I could smell was cut grass. Later on, mixed with violet soap. It would make a nice shower gel. If used as fragrance, summertime days only.
Expert23 – :
Fresh, green and herbal in an incisive, pleasant way, like morning dew on freshly cut grass. Later on it turns musky and creamy in a cool, manly way, still retaining its freshness. It lasts and lasts all day. Underrated but great fragrance, ideal for hot weather. It was a blind buy I never regretted!
irinka7949 – :
An underrated fragrance in my opinion. This is really gorgeous. Beautiful green, fresh and a lovely violet note. A bit like CK Man but this is MUCH nicer. Longevity and silage fine. One of the best green scents out there.
Dimatrek – :
Not that great citrus with somewhat of a melon vibe. Not worth your time or money.
VanBasten – :
I made a classic mistake of just reading what the fragrance has in it and went and bought it. BIG MISTAKE.! This was not what I was expecting. Its pretty strong and I wouldn’t reccomend it for daily use. I have to get rid of this bottle somehow so I am having to use it in the gym where no-one would know me. If you are looking for something STRONG and DIFFERENT this is definitely the one for you. Don’t be fooled by the description of the smell, its just lemony. You might as well squeeze lemon all over you. 3 years on and the bottle is still 3/4 still there 🙁
alecs73 – :
Fantastic gentleman’s fragrance.Very underrated.One of my personal favourites along with Tuscany by Aramis.
Preodotok – :
A very pleasant, refreshing and safe summer scent. It does remind me of Dior Fahrenheit, but i prefer Paul Smith Men. The Fig and Violet leaves combo is great. A must have in your summer frags rotation.
langricksijkee – :
I return to this every other year. I love the violet notes, so unusual in a men’s fragrance. Very fresh and clean and makes me feel like a proper gentleman.
ftf901Negeltzex – :
OMG how I love it ;/ a pitty that is very hard to find in Brazil. Can I substitue this one by Farenheit EDT?
Edit: After testing the Dior, Yes, I can =D
Orbineebrew – :
This smells good and soft. A smooth fresh for summer. It stays good.
Depsteage – :
The opening of this is so sharp and unpleasant and it doesn’t improve. I don’t get any of the nice sandalwood or violet leaf and would not have known they were fragrance notes.I get predominantly oakmoss and basil, a biting geranium and a lot of vetiver. I normally like vetiver a lot, but not with so much oakmoss. This is very earthy. If you like that, then you’ll have no problem with this, it’s just not my kind of thing. I was hoping it would be warmer, with more sandalwood and orange.
vladislav-timofe – :
An underrated fragrance in my opinion.So relaxing with green & fougere notes.A top quality product.
kostja42 – :
There are very few fragrances that truly impress me, Paul Smith Men is therefore somewhat unique in that it does. That it was Paul Smith’s first attempt in this market is even more daunting and he has never managed to follow it up. Usually an aftershave will bore me after only a few minutes as I find most of them banal, overstated and unsophisticated, often composed as though their true purpose was to hide the scent of sweat rather than be a mark of one’s style and character. The Paul Smith Men is different. It has something summer morning like about it, milky and cool not as in the behavioural meaning of the word, but as in the temperature, it does not try and impose its existence on the world it is subtle, no notes overwhelms any of the others. Olfactory wise it is very different from almost all aftershaves, the Paul Smith Men lacks the clinical fakeness of a laboratory that hangs like the stench of a hangover after most male perfumes it is natural, as though it has taken its ingredients from elsewhere. Comparing it to Dior Fahrenheit as some reviewers have done here is a slur to the sheer finesse Nathalie Lorson and Alain Astori has put into its creation, the Paul Smith Men is of quite a different breed, it does not belong among common sports shampoos from which the Dior Fahrenheit takes its inspiration.
andreykv – :
very refreshing to get rid your Monday blues..very fresh indeed. love it
Thunder – :
My favorite of all perfume i worn..it is uniquely fresh and green.Similar to Fahrenheit,Dunhill Fresh and Aigner Evolution..that’s what i think.But among all of these, Paul Smith is the best (for me)..but a bit poor with longevity.
TobieBrauning – :
I use it every Monday when I need something to lift me up and courage me to face all week until the weekend arrives again.
Kai6505 – :
It smells somewhat dull in the bottle but on my husband it warms up and smells heavenly. A really great cross between chanel no 19, grey flannel, coriandre and cashmere mist.
Владимир57 – :
This smells like a cheap shampoo. Not only that, but its boring. Very boring.
But smell is subjective so make up your own mind.
dimon_ufa – :
Love it. This would be something i would love to give as a gift to my boyfriend.
Can’t wait to smell so good on him.
maxim1986 – :
This smells great on my husband. It works perfectly on him.
ANVARR – :
Well, i never smell Fahrenheit but for me, Paul Smith Men is very distinctive. It’s like walking in an exotic forest and inhale the freshness of it.
Kuglyant – :
Very green and fresh (one of the greenest scents) It’s a good fresh clean daytime scent, and this manages to be a bit different! I absolutely LOVE the violet note here. It’s linear but a lovely EDT and one the the best greens in the world!
Unlobbylali – :
Ok….I am going to agree completely with Beezlebub. This smells practically the same as Farenheit by Dior. Not really much else to say. Apart form the fact that I’m shocked it even got onto the market.
Hmm!!!
gav20b – :
a lovely composition with an apple-grassy like effect
MAKS FAD – :
grassy, light, green tea with lime…nice spring/summer cologne..simple and cool
aksir – :
This is almost exactly the same as Fahrenheit Dior
