METAL JEANS MEN

REVIEWS

The top notes have an orange-like beginning with an intensive watermelon note soon taking over. A bit later I detect a whiff of pineapple.  This is all adding up to a fresh and bright opening that in spite of its synthetic nature is well done and convincing.  In the drydown I get flowery notes with a hint of lily and lots of jasmine, with guaiac and a touch of musk giving it some depth. This later phase is a bit sweeter but never heavy or cloying, although less original that the opening.  On my skin the fruity start is the most convincing part, but this is a nice scent overall and definitely one of Versace's best.  Good silage and projection, with over four hours of longevity. Great in summer.  4.5/5

10 YEARS LATER - RE-EVALUATION

The watermelon and the pineapple are still there, but less vivid and less intense after the opening blast and the first fifteen minutes

.  The guaiac is also not as impressive as ten years ago, but its longevity seems improved to about 5 h on my skin now. Its synthetic nature is more evident now.  3/5 now.

This discrepancy is quite surprising, and could maybe explained that the juice has suffered with time - I took it from the same bottle I have owned for the last decade.   Now 3.5/5
