Reviews of Fuel For Life pour Homme (2007)
by Diesel

For the first 10-15 minutes, it was a pleasant, interesting take on fougere. Unfortunately, during the drydown a strange, off-putting almond-like element developed--the heliotropin, perhaps?--that was cloyingly sweet, almost nauseating.

this is like a "pop" scent. easily wearable like ADG, but ultimately disappointing. if its like ADG then girls would be drawn to it nonetheless. but i prefer the idea of wearing what i feel smell great on me. same with clothes. cinsumer concept basics. to me thumbs DOWN. with so little expectations, this sill disappoints. May i quote. Its "Bad" for me coz it'll be a waste of my money on something overly priced and mediocrely produced. i love mainstream fresh frags to l80s classi. diesel sitll has a lonng way to go. i bought this purely for the bottle design and my love for their merchandise, jeans etc. other tahn loving all things matched, this offeres more of a room fresherner like my ADG(i do love how my room smells of them) just not good enogh for me scent wise. thumbs down(despite finding it mildly pleasant), coz i iknow i make silly dcisions, this is one of them.

Anise is hit or miss with me unfortunately it misses here. I like Lolita Lempicka pour Homme but this... is revolting. Smooths out later but it does not settle very well. Feels like real fuel, like turpentine almost. Different, but not the kind I prefer.

Very brief top note of citrus gives way to raspberry, which dominates. Lavender fights for it's life to save it, but perhaps sweetens it further thus cheapening it into a noxious fruity candy. The slow to evolve woodsy base is a little too little and a little too late. Perhaps a junior high scent?

While testing this, I found out that I really do not like anise as a note. This scent smells like a candy store. As a child I loved candy stores, but as an adult I do not want to smell like that. This is cloyingly sweet and lacks development and personality. Longevity is good though, but in this case that was not a good thing for me. Avoid this scent!

Tried this in a department store yesterday. Wasn't sure what to think about it at first -- there was a familiarity to it I just couldn't put my finger on. When I got home, my partner asked if I'd spilled gasoline on myself while filling up the car.
Perhaps a good choice for NASCAR fans, but I'll pass...

Garbage. Top notes smell of sour candy, then it gets worse from there. STAY AWAY!

An amorphous mess, sweet, can't distinguish any notes and if you're over 30 don' wear it or you'll smell like a teenager on a first date. Mass market tosh. EVERYTHING and his cousin out there smells like this.

Wow, what a mess! It starts out with a subtle 'fuel' scent, that is just enough for you to think: 'How corny'. Then it slowly dries into a feminine comfort scent (think cereal/soy milk).
Complete dissapointment, don't waste your time.
