Today I’ll be writing about Diesel Zero Plus for Men, an aftershave I picked up on impulse when buying the ill fated Gucci Rush for Men a couple of weeks ago.
Why did I buy an aftershave I’d never heard of nor indeed smelt? Simple really:
1 Diesel is a pretty well known brand. 2 It was cheap. 3 The packaging was unique. 4 I’d never tried it before and was curious.
When I think of a Diesel product the first thing that springs to mind are jeans! Until I spotted it on the shelf in my local Bodycare I didn’t even know that Diesel had any fragrances on the market for men. Curiosity struck me and I bought a bottle for £7.99, yes that’s right, it was only £7.99 for a 50ml bottle. Alarm bells should have starting ringing but they didn’t…
Since buying my bottle I have seen this on sale in Boots and Rackhams and if you like it, don’t pay more than £12.99 for a bottle. Anything more than that and you are being taken for a mug. It can retail in some shops at up to £27.99.
Obviously I find that Bodycare sell most fragrances cheaper than Boots (that’s why I shop there) but I don’t think there are any Bodycare shops outside of the North West, therefore if you are looking to buy a bottle of Diesel Zero Plus I’d recommend an online search.
Apart from the price and brand name the actual bottle and packaging does look rather funky. To actually see what it looks like you can see a picture of it in all its glory at www.ciao.co.uk/Diesel_Zero_Plus_Feminine__5344670. The male and female versions come in the same style bottles with the only difference being feminine and masculine written on the side of the bottle.
The actual bottle is a deep red colour and comes enclosed within a clear plastic capsule. It looks good and doesn’t look out of place on a shelf with more expensive rivals in the fragrance market. Launched in 1995, Zero Plus is classified as a refined, oriental woody fragrance which should blend to give a manly masculine fragrance suitable for eveningwear.
On first application the first thing that struck me was the actual grip I could get on the bottle rather than the fragrance. It is easy to grip, even with wet hands and the atomiser released a healthy amount of the fragrance with a fair amount of force.
As soon as the fragrance is released from the bottle it was like there had been an explosion of smells in my bathroom. This is one spicy fragrance. It quickly became evident that this is a very heavy fragrance, the spicy fragrance became less obvious and yes it did have an oriental feel but the overriding smell after ten to fifteen minutes was that of an oak tree. Woody is an understatement; it was like sniffing a freshly chopped log at close quarters.
As the fragrance mixed with my skin over time the woody smell also became less obvious but it was still the strongest of the notes by far closely followed by a spicy assault on my nostrils. As the smells changed and settled the first thing that sprang to mind was that I had smelt this somewhere before. I wasn’t imagining it, and after further investigation I realised that this is nearly identical in smell to……….Old Spice……..
The actual fragrance lasts for well over 8 hours as it is exceptionally heavy and it seems to cling to clothes. As I only used two sprays from the atomiser I have to say in it’s defence, it would have been good value for money had I been able to wear it again as this would last for a number of months even if used on a daily basis.
I found Diesel Zero Plus for Men a cheap and nasty fragrance that left me feeling very self-conscious about how I smelt. I’ve worn this once, and that was to smell what the fragrance was like and I won’t ever be wearing it again. Designed for eveningwear my arse, it’s designed to repel all known forms of life more like.
At £7.99 for the bottle I should have expected a nasty fragrance but I didn’t. I must have been having a blonde moment in the shop. Had I paid more for the bottle I would have been most upset but it’s true what they say. You get what you pay for, and in this case you most certainly do…….
