**Introduction**
This is my first fragrance review for a while and I have chosen to review a very popular fragrance, Paul Smith for Men. I had used a tester of this fragrance many times whilst I was in Boots and Debenhams but had never actually bought one due to the price compared to other fragrances which I prefered and I have bought a wide range of fragrances over the years. Here is my review of Paul Smith's popular fragrance for Men. This is the first Paul Smith fragrance I have used.
**The Bottle**
I feel that The bottle is a more important feature than you might think, Nobody wants a fragrance that has a weird gastly looking bottle. I like the design of the bottle it's like the Calvin Klein Eternity fragrance. The difference is that the Paul Smith fragrance is a nice green colour whereas the Calvin Klein Eternity is a kind of pale yellow colour. I feel that this Paul Smith fragrance looks eye catching on the shelf with it's light green tint. One of the best looking fragrance bottles at the moment.
**The Smell**
I am very impressed with the smell of this fragrance. It's a very cool, casual fragrance that opens with top notes of citrus spicy, with a combination of Bergamot, Brazilian Orange, Lavander, Basil and Cardamom. These top notes will blend into the middle notes after a couple of hours and they result in a fragrance that blends a peppery Green Fig and Violet Leaves together with a trace of Hyacinth and a strong scent of Geranium. After another couple of hours the fragrance will blend and will result in a woody scent of Oriental Wood, Oakmoss, Vetiver, Sandalwood and Biomusk. This results in a very refreshing overall fragrance which will last well for around six hours before it starts to lose it's freshness.
** It's Use**
This is a versatile fragrance as you can use it for daytime wear as much as you can use it for nights out. If you were going to only wear it for one of those then I would have to say that it would be slightly better for daytime wear as it's light clean freshness is great for a nice summers day. It is a pretty versatile fragrance however.
**Stockists**
As with most popular fragrances you will be able to find this one just about anywhere that sells fragrances. At the moment there is an offer in Boots which has Paul Smith for men at £14.51 for a 30ml bottle of the fragrance. You will also be able to find the fragrance at low prices in a number of the biggest fragrance stores in the high street and shopping centres. As usual at this time of year you can also pick up a gift set which features the fragrance along with Paul Smith for Men All Over Shampoo 75ml. You can buy this package for £25.94 in Boots and you will get a 50ml bottle of the eau de toilette with that gift set.
**Overall**
I am impressed with this fragrance, whilst it is not as good as many of the competitors it is still a very nice smelling fragrance which will suit a lot of men and will impress as many women with it's clean, fresh scent. Whilst it's on offer it might be worth picking up the 30ml version to find out for yourself. Against the competition it's Not quite worthy of five stars but a very decent fragrance all the same.
