Sweet pleasant not too sweet just the perfect touch. For the price you can’t go wrong. I carry a little sprayer with me and spray it on every so often. It’s not too strong or not too weak. Like that shirt or pants that fit just right. I recommend it it it’s convenient don’t pay more than 20 for it. It’s up there with my favorites

【2018 Thallium vs Jaguar Gold】
I’m writing this updated reviews for buyers who are curious between the fragrances. I receive a decant of Jaguar Gold from member LOCKON (Thank You). I spray Thallium on my left wrist, and J.Gold on my right wrist. Here is what happen:
【1st 30 Minutes】
Both have Strong Powerful Projection (easy on sprayer!)
Both smell like Synthetic Fruity Syrup (thick & dense enough to cut through winter). Tallium has an obvious GRAPE SODA smell. Jaguar Gold smell like synthetic fruit, but I do not smell any Green Apple yet. They do smell very close to one another, like a fraternal TWINS to one another.
【1st 30 Minutes】
Both have strong projection. Thallium still smell like GRAPE SODA, and Apple makes its appearance in Jaguar Gold
【1 Hour Difference Appear】
Thallium stay Sweet Grape Soda, while Jaguar Gold take on a Apple Cinnamon Pie smell. There is no Cinnamon, but I smell somekind of Spice from Jaguar Gold. Both are projecting strong, quite amazing for under $16 cheapie.
【1 hour 30 minutes】
Thallium is now projecting weaker, with 1~2″ projection from my skin.
Jaguar Gold is still going strong, with 2~4″ projection form my skin
【2 hours – Winner is show itself】
Thallium has collapsed into a skin scnet. Its still there if I dig my nose against my wrist Jaguar Gold still has a 1~2″ projection from my skin (impressive)
【2 hours 30 minutes】
Thallium still has a Faint fruity sweetness left on my skin. Jaguar gold, on the other hand, still has 1″ projection from my skin
【3 hours – Jaguar Gold wins hands down】
I struggle to smell Thallium now, but Jaguar Gold still have a 1/2″ Spicy smell
【4hours – end of the test】
Thallium has disappear, while Jaguar Gold is still kicking as a Skin Scent.
WINNER = JAGUAR GOLD. I own & loved my Thallium, but I admit defeat. JG is the new cheapie champ for Longevity Performance.
Djon-01 – :
Smells cheap. Actually it reminds me of mop water mixed with syrup. If you like that smell go for it.
Sangcha – :
I just got this delivered to me. I sprayed it on the back of my palm. I don’t smell the beragmot, the pineapple. I smell a lot of lavender musk. It is sweet though. I’ll wear it this week and give a full update.
EDIT: This is too sweet and strong longevity. I can smell this the next day. The dry down is nice. However, it is too sweet. Sweeter than Versace Eros.
Клерик – :
Thallium is a scent that was recommended to me by a female friend in my early college days. At this time I had owned other fragrances, but this was the first that literally had a female coworker on her first day on the job wanting to take my shirt home.
A sweet green apple cologne that transitions while still maintaining a moderate sweetness into an almost aquatic, woodsy, floral scent.
It’s affordable at under $20, projects well for a couple hours, and ends as a skin scent at around the 7th hour mark.
Overall: 9/10

Thallium ?
Thallium = fantástic hidden gem
replicaw78407 – :
If you love old fashion french house fragrances (i.e. Habit rouge, Guerlain), you will love Thallium. This eau de toilette remembers me a soft and modern version of Habit rouge, a kind of vanilla-powdery scent. It is realy not my kind. I don’t think it’s a safe scent.
Vladimir21 – :
I do like this smell very much! It´s fantastic!
brefi – :
I just bought this fragrance for a ridiculous price (€13,00 for 100ml).
What a precious gem it is. I really wonder why this frag it’s not a lot more popular. I can only understand it because Yves de Sistelle is not a well known designer… It should be.
Some very good reviews have been made in this page. I do not feel the need to repeat them.
I just would like to state:
– I love Eros and Thalium and really do not consider Thalium a clone of Eros or even similar. I do believe that Thalium was launched before Eros (I am not sure).
– This is a super versatil and please everybody EDT.
– The scent is unique. I do not know similar fragrances although it does make me remember faintly Au Masculin EDP by Lolita Lempika (another amazing fragrance).
– Thalium is a newcomer to my 130+ shelf of perfumes. It is still a rookie but fighting his way to my top 10. This fragrance is so amazing that will get there in a couple of weeks.
Rating for Thallium:
Scent:9.0
Longevity: 7.5
Sillage:7.0
Versatility: 9.5
Uniqueness: 9.0

【2018 Updated why Thallium is Amazing for the price】
How many cheap under $20 fragrance can last 8hrs?
How many cheap fragrance Project for 3~4 hours?
How many cheap fragrance can last a whole day?
How many cheap fragrance can Challenge Versace Eros?
How many cheap fragrance can cut through the COLD?
how many cheap fragrance actually turn women on?
After testing over 100+ fragrance in 2017, my RESPECT for Thallium has grown higher. I discover most $80 Designer Fragrance don’t last more than 4hrs, the few that do only last as weak Skin Scent. $16 Thallium, however, outperform & out-last designer fragrance. This is the only cheapie that challenge my Beastly Versace Eros in performance. While I do ♥ the Smell of Versace Eros much more, but for $16 I’m not bitching about my synthetic Grade Soda Thallium (delicious)!
====================== (old review)
YouTuber (Gents Scents) call Thallium a BAD Versace Eros clone, I was looking for a cheaper EROS so I bought it anyways. I spray Vesace Eros sample on my Left Arm. I spray Thallium on my Right Arm
【1st 30minutes】
(+) Both have Amazing Projection upon spray
(-) Both suffer from a Strong Synthethic Opening
• Versace Eros smell like >> Minty Lemonade <<, while
Thallium smells like Delicious >> Grape Soda <<
• Versace Eros feel lighter, thinner, more airy
Thallium feel THICK, like a Grape Syrup on my arm
• Winner: I prefer >> Grape Soda << over Minty Lemonade
【After 1st hour】
EROS Minty Lemonade is fading away, but still project strongly 1 arm length away.
Thallium → GRAPE SODA fruity smell remain after 1hr
The scent circle is @ about 1 arms length away
Winner: draw
【After 2 hours】
Thallium → Fruity GRAPE Skittle smell is still going strong after 2hrs.
EROS Citrious has disappear → Sweet Vanilla & greenish oakmoss begin to show themselves. Eros has beautiful transition, from Minty Lemonade → Soothing Vanilla with Masculine Cedar. WOW, winner EROS!
【After 4 hours】
Thallium Grape Soda smell is still going strong, still projecting
Versace Eros becomes a Soothing Vanilla, still projecting
Winner = Draw. I like them both, they smell completely different, Eros smell more Mature with tranquil vanilla; while Thallium is like a younger brother refusing to quit dancing.
【After 6 hours】
Both scent are fading on me, but I can still smell them as skin scent
【Final Thoughts on Strength & Weakness】
Versace EROS wins on Transition (Minty Lemonade → Cedar Vanilla)
Versace EROS wins on Smell, less synthetic more natural lemon
I ♥ Versace Eros bottle, its a work of art.
Thallium is amazing for the price. I’ll list the negative then positive
– Thallium is Linear (no transition)
– Thallium is Synthetic Grape Soda / Grape Skittle Candy
– Thallium is Sweeter than Eros (masculine guys should stay away)
+ Thallium Grape Soda smell GREAT (I dig it)
+ Thallium is a BETTER CLUB SCENT (more attitude < Eros)
+ Synthetic Grape scent draws more notice < Minty Lemony Eros
+ Thallium Sweet Syrupy = great Winter Scent
I ♥ Versace Eros for its Minty Lemonade smell, but Eros dry-down like a >> Feminine Vanilla Bomb <<. I ♥ it personally, but I’ll admit it can smell like a feminine perfume, which is why many Women ♥ Eros. Due to their scent characteristics, I highly recommend Thallium for Clubbing with its Extroverted Immature Loud personality. Versace Eros, ironically, is actually better suited as a Date Scent for Netflex & Chill. I ♥ them both, for different reasons. I think for $16, Thallium is a no brainer. Its Blind-Buy worthy if you ♥ sweet syrupy cologne that can last through winter. Do not buy Thallium is you want Traditional Fresh Masculine.

Ok I’ll make this short and sweet. This is the best BEST cheapie on the market. All you nautica voyage fans move over cause Thallium is the king of cheapies. I would buy this if it was 15 dollars or 50 dollars for that matter. A sharply fruity sweet opening QUICKLY dries down to a fresh and woody and florally musky base while keeping the sweet tones all the way through to the end. The overall impression I do get is a heavy sea – breeze type of scent that as one reviewer mentioned is noticed much more as you get whiffs of the frag coming off you or as you heat up. You can smell it close up and get a different impression which would make it smell much heavier and sweeter. Picture being by the ocean or even like a bay where there are flowers growing along with the fresh sea air and having a sweet fruity tropical drink in your hand and meshing those scents together with a touch of musk and you have thallium. I highly highly recommend this. The projection is great for the first 2 hours or so then sits closer to the skin which is ok with me. The longevity is solid….about 6-7 hours. Only one downfall is the atomizer. Could be a little stronger. But overall I give this 9 out of 10…….for the price and quality.

I don’t get the “old lady smell” comments. When I wear this I get compliments from my niece and her friends (all in their 20’s) and my wife and her friends (30’s and 40’s) love this on me. I think it’s an supreme scent and works amazing in the summer. Sure there is some powder, but it’s a fresh kind of powder in a sporty way with fruit and spice that is just done so good. Just 2 sprays to the back of my neck and 1 spray to my chest, and I’m good to go all day. The dry down at the 2 hour mark is even better. You can get this for about $20 (3.3oz) so the value is excellent. If you like Versace Eros and Joop Jump, this is worth a blind buy. If you dislike sweet scents, you’ll probably want to avoid this one. Although it’s not overly sweet, it’s definitely sweeter than most male fragrances traditionally intend to be, although that is quickly changing in today’s “unisex” market.
Sillage: 8/10
Longevity: 8/10
Value: 9/10
Scent: 8/10
Overall 8.5/10

This is the epitome of Powder. It literally smells like something your grandmother would wear. I tried it for a while and then ended up giving it away. Most family members I had smell it said it smelled good but just like a clean, soapy, or granny smell. The only upside with this one is it’s cheap. The downside however is you will smell like an elderly woman.
den22.09 – :
Okay so after receiving 2 bottles I am not as impressed. When dabbing it on my skin from a splash sample I thought of it as the best juice ever but its just not the same from a spray bottle… its still boasts an incredible opening I think. I get a huge variation when spraying from the regular sized bottle.
I saw someone say that it opens up smelling synthetic but I think its the other way around, or maybe its just different from the bottle since some of the notes are so intense… It smells perfect and then dries down to a synthetic skin scent after 2+ hours imo, its still there but very mild… After the 2 hour mark it seems to fade sharply but I noticed that it just shows up again a few hours (with regular movement) I thought it was gone and sprayed on something else and 5 hours later I could smell both!
Perhaps I am suffering from olfactory fatigue at the 2 hour mark. its fairly consistent but since its top loaded I will say that Its better to spray on lightly- to over spray would seem like an act of desperation it’s just too intense and too sweet but you’ll enjoy the perfect amount of sweetness for 2 hours with just 2 sprays..
Thallium begins to cheapen after and by that I mean it starts to smell like its price range. I hate that… This can be perfected I think – I really think that some notes should be lessened and others improved and this could be a beast. I might spray this into my sampler and then dab it on, it seemed to work better that way…. I am almost motivated to become a perfumer so that I can mess around with this stuff. I hope that I am fortunate enough to run across Super Thallium during my lifetime.
What 2 sprays says below is right on the money eh
___________________________________
I wore this from a sample vial today after dabbing it on my hand before bed the night before and I am thoroughly impressed with the smell. I think they did a brilliant job with the pineapple and green apple. This is a very balanced and delicious smelling fragrance. They should reintroduce this as an exclusive through a department store its that good.
I love the green apple but not for too long like I found in Versace Eros. The Pineapple and the apple go so well together. It is a “wow that smells freaking gewd” scent. I would readily pay more than the prices I am seeing. There is not any hint of cheap except during the opening which is metallic/synthetic but it fades quickly into greatness.
The Sillage is an exotically sweet tropical monster for 2+ hours. In total I got 4-5 hours worth on my skin on a warm humid day with the A/C blowing on me for over an hour. To be fair, I will disclose that I tried this from a sample vile without a sprayer but I will now buy a bottle, or two – thats how nice this smells. I want two bottles.
This is one that will stand out in a collection. There are so many I haven’t tried but the pineapple note is just as good as what I smelled from a dab of Creed Aventus on my hand. I do not have the Creed nearby to compare side by side but man this stuff is good. EDIT*** Finally I received a sample of Creed Aventus and these are not similar.
I really hope this performs better from a spray bottle. I’m a little nervous about overspraying because its front loaded. A tiny swipe on my hand the night before was really strong for 1-2… It would be worth having, even if just to spray my hand at night before bed. Whatever it takes to make this last longer I will do.
Caroline_fromAD – :
Great bang for your buck fragrance. $20. Good performance, good scent, and garners compliments. However, it’s a bit too sweet if you overspray it. It has a candy-like sweetness. My nose picks up fruity notes like citrus and apple, and sweet notes like honey and pineapple also. A bit synthetic, but not bad. If you really like sweet fragrances that last and perform well, give this a try. I like it, and the ladies like this one as well. Works best in the cooler weather. Too heavy for the summer and will be pretty cloying. I’ll give it a 7/10. For the price, you can’t go wrong with this. DO NOT overspray. You’ll be choking people out. If you don’t like sweet fragrances, give this a pass as this is very sweet.
Юрец11231811 – :
I am female. My dad wore this fragrance and I loved it on him so much that when I was younger he gave me the bottle before he finished it. It is strong and projects well, especially for the price point. It has a freshness to it but it’s not citrus-y or linen-y fresh. It smells manly like a cool-headed but interesting businessman. However, I think a woman could wear this if she was in a “masculine-like” boss mode. I love it and wear it myself sometimes ☺.
tomi1948 – :
This is most certainly an impressive fragrance. My favorite notes are the pineapple and amber accords in addition to the nice jasmine underlay. The only note I don’t get is the musk..maybe because of the amber and jasmine which both have animalic qualities. There’s also something aquatic and fresh about this fragrance, especially in the opening. Maybe it’s the way the bergamont, green apple, and pineapple is blended together but it has an aquatic nuance to it that reminds me of AHS by Chanel. Also has a barbershop vibe to it. Mid notes are herbal and powdery yet I really don’t get the base notes on this one outside of the patchouli. Even with this the way it blends into the mid seems to extend the mid as the base on my skin. Excellent fragrance, will definitely buy more bottles.
ufe273Bessinepome – :
Best $6 I’ve spent!
I bought this from a FragranceNet “95% full” listing on ebay for only $5.99. When it arrived, the cap was broken off, but it was easily reattached, and it managed to spray itself a few times in shipping. Ironically, the dry sprays smelled awfully similar to what I’d been wearing all day – Versace Pour Homme!
It’s very similar to VPH, but a little sweeter, with a slightly more powdery and salty aspect. Salty, sweet, semi aquatic, powdery apple and musk notes, that pretty much sums it up. If you like VPH, you’ll like this. The powdery sweet apple is also reminiscent of Versace Eros. If you like both VPH and Eros, you’ll DEFINITELY love this!
For a while now I’ve been struggling with finding something to wear at night after wearing VPH during the day, and this might just be it! UPDATE: I confirmed today, this scent goes very nicely between VPH and Eros. I wore VPH to work today, Thallium after work, and just applied Eros, and there is absolutely no clash between them after dry downs.
The projection and longevity of this are just downright impressive for the price. Also – to anyone familiar with the sprayer on Paco Rabanne’s Invictus, this has the same type of sprayer and even makes the same sound – “kosh”! Great sprayer! +1 for the bottle design, in spite of having to put mine back together.
One thing’s for sure, reviews for this one are all over the place. I say it’s worth the risk. I really love it so far! If your a fan of Versace Pour Homme or Eros, you’ll love this. The fact that it’s so cheap doesn’t hurt either!
416195855 – :
Real Simple. Tried It. Loved It. Bought It!
For me, it has very strong longevity. The projection is a bit stronger than I prefer.

nice fragrance i love the pineapple and mint scent.
edu753speagoessenda – :
How is nobody comparing this to Diesel Plus Plus? It’s literally the same scent. If you like Diesel Plus Plus (Now discontinued) that lasts a little longer, get this. Powdery sweet, very synthetic. It’s not bad, it’s just undeserving of the hype. However for the price, this is a steal.
zasxc – :
Liked it in store when I sampled it. Ordered it online and what I got smells extremely strong and sweet. Too sweet for me actually.
kkiko – :
As the previous poster, jellisunc, had said this one is very sweet. I know some people who absolutely love this one, but not really for me. I ended up gifting my bottle to my younger brother. I did, however manage to retain a small sample for myself just to mess with.
schur – :
Despite the name of this stuff, it is pretty good.
I love the smell of this. At first it was almost too sugary, but the more I wore it the more it grew on me. It starts out very sweet and fruity and slowly blends into a powdery and minty scent where it stays. I like it a lot, but its a tad too sweet. This should be sold as a unisex scent.
Sadly it doesn’t last very long on me, maybe three hours before it completely dies out. The sillage is alright at about an arms length away.
The best thing about this fragrance is that it is so cheap. It can be had at under $20 for a 3.3oz. I don’t think this has a certain time it can be worn, day or night and just about any season. I think this one is pretty casual. I wear it to bed or when I plan on being kind of lazy. It can be an office scent formally, but no more than that. It slightly reminds me of Armani Code in the powdery sweetness way it is.
Scent- 8/10
Longevity- 6/10
Sillage- 7/10
Overall- 7/10

For me this cologne is better than all my expensive cologne.
this smell just like baby powder but in a masculine and good way.

This smell similar to Calvin Klein Eternity for men.
shipskov – :
This cologne is simply sweet. Nothing else really stands out, besides maybe the sweet apple notes and the jasmine; at least on my skin. The fragrances does not change much, but can come at you from different ways. This is a very very very sweet fragrance, so definitely smell before buying, it may be too sweet, as it resembles sugar. Obviously, this cologne is pretty cheap, or at least affordable. I recommend this cologne for winter. It reminds me of a candy apple in christmas.

When I first got this scent years ago, I felt that the sales rep was pushing it on me. I instantly liked it. My concern was longevity. Needless to say, longevity complement factor was outstanding. It is so readily available I have not stocked back up on this one. I smelled a few wks ago and I am ordering it again;) It is not AS SWEET as everybody claims it is. It is sweet, but it is not sickening sweet. Fruits and notes are well blended. No need for a bunch of fragrance expert talk. It’s a complement getter that last.

Fell in love with this after receiving a sample. I’m a sucker for sweet scents and this hit the spot.
Pavel777 – :
The first time I applied Thallium I liked it. I didn’t love it but I liked it. I sprayed enough on the back of my hand to get a feel for the fragrance but it wasn’t an amount that one would normally apply if actually “wearing” the fragrance. Earlier today I actually wore it for the first time. I didn’t overspray but on me this fragrance smells like grape bubble gum. A mouthful of grape bubble gum. Very sweet and a bit cloying. You might be thinking how can that be bad? Grape bubble gum smells great. You may be right and it may fit a younger guy better. I’m a middle aged man though and it doesn’t seem age appropriate for me. I mean no offense to older gentlemen that enjoy wearing this fragrance. It might smell differently on your skin. I’m going to let my teenage sons spray the heck out of this until it’s gone and then I won’t replace it.
Romus1983 – :
Great Cologne. i love it. i got my first bottle for my birthday and it was my favorite. even after Green Day albums. Mainly because my parents accidentally bought the censored version.
gtnhjdbx – :
This has the most beautiful base notes. Amazing!
kovlov – :
I’m a bang for the buck kind of guy so I saw reviews on this and saw a fairly positive reaction so for $15 I decided to give it a try. All of the video reviews I saw compared this to a sort of candied apple, super sugary, and overall pleasant after the initial harsh dry down.
Well, after trying this I hesitantly came to the conclusion after giving this every chance that this is actually terrible, at least to me. Thallium sometimes smells like an extremely powdery “old lady smell,” then the rest of the time it smells like an elementary school girl’s cotton candy squirt bottle perfume. The cotton candy smell wouldn’t actually be terrible, but it still retains its harshness from the initial opening.
The sprayer is a little too frugal, needing about 3 sprays to equal 1 full spray from really good sprayers. This should be kept in mind when trying to apply as you should probably go 4 to 6 sprays with it if you actually want to smell like it. This gives decent projection and longevity.
Honestly, I know there’s people that say there’s no such thing as feminine or masculine smells and it’s all marketing, but this is for a female, and a young one at that. And just to touch on this a little more, like I said, I’m a bang for the buck type of guy, under $25 is my desired price range with scents so I can have 3 cheaper options over 1 mid/high end scent. So, when I say these words I don’t say it lightly. This is synthetic, and I don’t mean it has its own unique pleasent smell that isn’t identified by notes (“smells like MJ Legend” as opposed to “smells like coffee, anise, amber, etc.”) The harshness that people tend to say goes away after ~15 minutes stick around the entirity of the time for me. And it is actually painful to smell.
Final Verdict:
Longevity: 8
Projection: 7
Smell: 4 I really wish it wasn’t so, but the harshness and extreme feminine qualities ruin this as the “men’s cologne” it’s presented as.
AgeseIrrids – :
Reminds me of Perry Ellis M when I sprayed it on me. Smells great and ladies love it alot. Anybody else agree with me that it smaells like Perry Ellis M?
koly222 – :
Very good juice for a very good price. I received my bottle today! This so remind me of Dunhill Desire the red bottle.
edikt – :
Despite the fact that Thallium is loaded with amber, I like it. In fact, I think the amber keeps it from being TOO sugary or candy-ish. (I generally hate amber, unless well-blended, which it is here.) It certainly seems to have its own personality. Does anybody else think it smells like Spicebomb? Surprisingly strong for a cheapie. If you get a chance to sniff Thallium, don’t pass it by.
Svetlaja – :
For a cheapy this scent is awesome. Long lasting on my skin and I just love it. Very soft refreshing scent
stilen – :
Got this from Fragrancex and shipped to the UK for £12.50 and that included shipping from the US to the UK. So no complaints on price.
I read lots of reviews and thought I would blind buy it at this price and boy I am glad.
I get what people say about it being synthetic and it’s not super original, but I just cannot get enough of this scent. I totally adore it, and yet everything it comes back round to wear it again, I always forget just how much.
I could wear this all the time. I can see how some people would not like this but something in this just flats my boat.
It’s a sweet Apple blast but oh how I love it.
Projection and sillage is just average but I only go about 4 hours before I can’t resist a top up. It’s like catnip to me.
Blind buy it at £12,you can always sell it on Ebay and make a profit in the UK, or at least get your money back, as it seems difficult to get here.
hmn82 – :
I absolutely LOVE this stuff. I got it a few weeks ago and it’s all I’ve worn since. I’ve passed up my more expensive bottles for this. I find this fragrance very comforting when I wear it. And I love the sweetness of it.
GENERIC:
Maybe as it’s not gonna challenge your nose or anything. It’s not a complicated scent by any means.
SYNTHETIC:
Make no mistake this is synthetic. Especially the opening. But when it dries down it loses that synthetic part. But I like the opening so it’s not an issue for me.
“OLD LADY SCENT”:
It has, at least on me, a floral powdery aspect to it, which I think is where this criticism stems from. I think some people associate that with the fragrances their grandmothers wear.
But regardless I LOVE it. I like powdery scents if it isn’t overdone and this one isn’t. Also it’s sweet without being too sweet. I don’t get the fruity notes everyone else seems to get on the opening. I get a synthetic candy like blast that disappears within 15 mins or so. Then I get alot of powdery sweet floral notes. I do get a slight creamy vanilla note on the dry down also, altho I don’t think it’s listed as a note for this scent. And the dry down is the best part on me.
I’ve went thru bottles and samples etc looking for something like this, thinking it would have to be an expensive scent but it isn’t. And for the price you can’t beat it. I will always keep this on hand as long as it’s available to purchase. This is the best cheapie I have ever found so far. And I do think this could easily be a unisex scent as well.
gogycrolfcino – :
I tend to like fresh/sweet scents, but don’t know what went wrong here. After a week trial, it has been banished to the dud box under the sink. Go ahead….try it yourself….but don’t say you were not warned.
djsega1983 – :
This for me is just ahead of Nautica Voyage as the best cheapie on the market. What you get with this is a sweet (but not sickly sweet) vibe with some fruity notes (but not too fruity) off the top. The blend is as such that it is somewhat difficult to pick out individual notes, but at the dry down this becomes seductive and creamy, somewhat resembling Allure Homme Sport. This is an all-seasons scent with great performance. For less than $20 it’s hard to go wrong.
Performance: 7.5/10 – this is not a beast, but performs well above average in any kind of weather
Overall Scent: 8/10 – this is a youthful, playful fragrance that is still quite masculine. I routinely reach for this over many of my much more expensive fragrances. Unique and well-blended, it’s a challenge to find a better scent at this price point.
Weedfantfal – :
First off, this DOES NOT smell like Chanel Allure Homme. That’s the biggest lie ever told about this fragrance.
I am a sucker for sweet and fruity colognes – ESPECIALLY when they are inexpensive.
However, Thallium disappointed me in every way imaginable. It’s linear and harshly synthetic at times. It feels like a copy-cat of Dunhill Desire (red bottle). It’s almost like a pineapple flanker of Desire.
It starts off with a powerful punch of sugar, fruit medley, and powder. I am not fond of powdery anything as it reminds me of floral and powdery fragrances usually associated with dated musk scents from years passed.
It remains hyper-powdery-sweet until it dries down to, dare I say, an “old lady” scent.
In short, this fragrance is wholly feminine and could easily be mistaken for a n old perfume from the 50s/60s. I could never see myself (and won’t be) wearing this fragrance again. My first bad blind buy. It’s the first on my list to give away if someone I knew wanted it.
If you are a young man and have the confidence to wear this, I salute you.
