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

FIRST IMPRESSION WAS "STRANGE", A DIFFERENT SCENT, SOME MINUTES AFTER IT BEGAN TO ATTRACT ME MORE AND MORE, THE DRYDOWN REMEMBERS ME OF MORABITO POUR MONSIEUR , A WONDERFUL FRAGRANCE, Ì'M CONSIDERING TO BUY IT

A fruity fougere this scent is literally mouthwatering. Yes, I get an utter "juicy fruit" effect from this, which lasts and lasts - usually I would hate that, but the citrus-anise-raspberry combination manages to avoid the juvenile stickiness of many similar designer concoctions. The base well done, but not overly exciting, the usual synthetic fare. I would never wear this with a suit or if I was aiming at coming across as "serious", to me it's a leisure fragrance for fun wearing, but I dare say it's a masterpiece in that category.

I've passed by this one several times because of the goofy looking bottle that screams "gimmick to instantly attract teenagers!" I finally decided to give it a test and wouldn't you know....I really like it! It smells sweet and fruity but masculine at the same time. I've been looking for something like this for awhile now, and I think I just found it. I'm picking up a bottle soon.

Highly recommended if you like this type of fragrance! I've tried many "fruity" fragrances and this is the best I've come across so far.

This is definitely a scent to wear for the ladies, not your own enjoyment. Girls are in LOVE with the scent. Take these reviews with a grain of salt - by no means does this scent deserve a thumbs down. Why? It's such a neutral of a scent - that I find it hard to believe anyone actually finds it "bad". It just doesn't make much scents(har har har)!

Most fragrences have gotten me a compliment or two, but this seems to crack 'em outta the park. And you know what, I enjoy the smell myself, so it's a win-win situation, hurray for me. With that out of the way, I would NEVER recommend this as a blind buy. Even though I love it, Fuel for Life smells like fuel for a five year old. We're talking sweet tarts, orange creamsicles, and rasberry sherbert. I don't believe the "note pyramid" for a second, but maybe it's just my skin that absorbs the more mature smells and leaves Willy Wonkas house behind for all to enjoy. Oh well, I love it, so thumbs up.

Fuel for Life is a perfect fragrance for everyday...the lasting power is amazing...and you will get a lot of compliments.

Now this is good stuff! While at Macy's last year I asked the clerk to give me something with a sweet scent as I prefer those over those woodsy, tobacco scents. & she bought me Diesel Fuel for Life! Yes it suits a guy in his early 20's or even a teenager.. But who cares? It smells great & the bottle is nice thanx to the pouch that covers up the boring bottle! lol! All this and because it last a nice long length on my skin ill give it 4 out of 5!

Wow...yummy!!! This is the kind of fragrance you love or hate. For me it's a mixture of Dune pour homme by Christian Dior and Very Irressistible Fresh Attitude by Givenchy; or even Montblanc's Individuelle femme, I guess . No doubt raspberry is the unmistakable note; however it's not a fruity fragrance. Sillage and longevity are great. Thumbs up for this ultramodern manly cologne.

Fuel For Life is a little better than average but I think its a love or hate fragrance no in between, I will give it a thumbs up because the longevity is good and gets me a lot of compliments.

fantastic scent.
fuel for life is perfect, different than anything out there.
it is a bit sweet but i love sweet colognes.
a lovely combination of sweet citrus and fuit with some sweet musk

i bought this one today, it's very summer, very me.
i like it 5 stars from me

I will agree that this one is quite sweet If you're not very into sweet-smelling fragrances, stay away. At times, it reminds me of Fruity Pebbles cereal.

Nevertheless, it still manages to be a masculine scent--just barely. It's very fresh, but unlike any other fresh fragrance I've tried.

It's well on its way to being my signature scent.

I really like this one. Theres a bit of fuityness at the beginning then as it dries down it reminds me of YSL Rive Gauche for men. A nice scent that lasts about 6 hours on my skin but I can smell on my shirt still the next day. Thumbs up, but its getting very heavy TV advertising in the UK though so might become a bit commonplace.

love at first sniff for me. this baby is actually quite original - anyone who says it smells like "any other fresh scent" is not paying close enough attention. the use of raspberry gives it a fruity touch that is quite unique (in the same way that pear in Dior's "Higher" was quite original), and the anise offers a very different cooling effect to the usual mint that one finds more commonly. the combination is clean, yet rich and quirky.

the light touch with the fruit notes makes this much more subtle than past Diesel male fragrances, which have either been cloyingly sweet (e.g. Green) or over-the-top gourmandy (zero plus, zero plus plus.)

so - i like it. give it a shot if you're willing to judge it on its own merits. if you're going to leap to judgements anyway because it's Diesel and therefore must be only for shallow skinny twenty-somethings, or if you thought that Dior's "higher" was a fresh scent like any other and didn't appreciate the pear - pass this one by.
