Diesel Cologne

Some men don’t think that cologne is an important part of their daily grooming; however, others know it is an indispensable part of any self-respecting man’s everyday routine. When picked out well, the right cologne can reflect a man’s personality, sense of style, and attitude. It can help set the mood for a romantic evening, give off a professional air, or even reflect the season of the year.If you are totally new to the world of men’s colognes, you may feel overwhelmed when you begin looking for a scent that will be suitable for you and that other people will like as well. Don’t leave your decision up to chance and the skill of the person at the department store; we can help you start to get thinking about what you should be looking for.

For cologne aficionados, it comes as no surprise that the clothing brand Diesel has several of its own colognes. However, many average men are totally unaware that Diesel makes more than stylish jeans. You could say that Diesel is like an Italian equal to Levi’s jeans. The Diesel brand was made by Italian designer Renzo Rosso and really became popular in America in the mid nineties. Overall, the Diesel brand is known for having high quality clothing that is also fun and really youthful. So it comes as no surprise that many of their fragrances reflect this attitude as well.

In this article, we will talk about some of what has been said about the several different Diesel men’s colognes that are out there. Whether you are new to colognes completely or already have a broad collection of scents, hopefully you will learn a little from this article. However, before buying anything, be sure to go to a department store and try on the fragrance you think you like before buying. Different colognes smell slightly different on different individuals. And how do you know you like a cologne without smelling it yourself? You will get a better price online for almost any cologne, but do go and try it out yourself before ordering.

Most recently, Diesel produced a men’s and women’s set of fragrances called Fuel for Life. The men’s scent is creatively packaged in a glass bottle that is encased in a larger rugged canvas shell. There are whipstitched details up the sides of the bottle; the little bottle will definitely stand out on your dresser.

Famous perfumer Annick Menardo helped create the scents, and the men’s fragrance has a woody, aromatic fragrance. The scent has star anise, grapefruit, raspberry, lavender, vetiver, heliotrope, and dry woods in it. Some describe the scent as energetic, while others find the scent to be too strong and aggressive. The scent is indubitably masculine, with a slight nutty scent.

The fragrance is recommended for an everyday or an office environment, and most people who like scents such as Burberry for men or Acqua di Gio are likely to enjoy this scent. A few disadvantages about the fragrance include that it costs around $60 a bottle and that some people feel that it wears off faster than they would like. The aftershave lotion of this scent won the 2008 runner-up award in Esquire magazine’s yearly grooming awards.

Next, we will talk about another popular Diesel scent called Only the Brave. The bottle is shaped like a fist, and was inspired by a tattoo that Renzo Russo has on his knuckles. The rapper Common was the face of the fragrance in the brand’s international ad campaign, and part of the portion of the sales are donated by Diesel to the charity foundation of the same name; Only the Brave.

The cologne itself has a strong leathery scent, accompanied by oriental woody notes. It also has hints of vanilla, citrus, and amber. For a men’s cologne, it has a rather sweet smell, but it is still very masculine. It is a very sophisticated type smell, and yet suggests a slight softness and sensitivity. Esquire magazine suggested that the personality type that should don this cologne would also like how babies smell and enjoy drinking gin and vanilla in private. Several buyers commented that the smell lasted a long time and did not need to be reapplied often. Only the Brave generally costs around $50 a bottle.

Next, we will describe Diesel’s fragrance Plus Plus. The scent was launched in 1997 and has now been discontinued and is hard to find. However, we still wanted to make mention of it because it has such popular reviews and dedicated buyers. Plus Plus has been described over and over again by those who wear it as clean and fresh, youthful and rich. It is a light enough smell to wear daily to the office, and can also be worn on evenings out. The scent is simple, yet still very unique.

The fragrance is predominantly fougere and sandalwood, and is slightly sweet and woody smelling. Some even compare it to the pleasant smell of pipe tobacco. The scent has oriental notes with a little vanilla and musk as well. We found that several online buyers felt that Plus Plus is the best of all of the Diesel fragrances.

Another Diesel cologne is Diesel Green. This fragrance is a little bit different than each of the other scents available through Diesel. The cologne comes in a bright grass green bottle and is very earthy, energetic and fresh feeling. The dominating scents are ginger and lime, making this a great scent for spring and summer, but not so much for fall or winter. The scent also has notes of orris, floral orange blossom, rose, cinnamon, carnation and jasmine over base notes of cedarwood, musk, amber, sandalwood and vanilla.

Diesel Green maintains a masculine, strong scent, but is simultaneously playful, clean and fresh. Many wearers of the scent have described the smell as subtle, refreshing and very natural smelling. However, many buyers have noted that the fragrance does not stay on as long as it should and needs to be reapplied often.

If you are looking for something to wear to the clubs or on a special night out instead of a daily fragrance, you should check out Diesel’s scent Zero Plus. Zero Plus has a very strong smell that some people love and others hate, and definitely should not be worn everyday. It is definitely not a subtle choice of fragrances, so you will want to try it yourself before buying it.

The scent is basically a strong shot of cinnamon and powder. The warm, woodsy scent lasts a long time, but some people find it to be overwhelming. It is a very unique smell, and very different from most other men’s colognes. Some women love the smell, while others don’t like it much at all. The cologne has a very fall and wintery feel to it as well, and is very strong and smooth. The scent also has notes of copper and tin and underlying scents of vanilla. Many describe it as an intimate scent, and one that you would wear to make a statement. It maintains a very clean smell, but you still would not want to wear it every day.

If you are a novice when it comes to men’s colognes, hopefully this taught you that there is much more behind choosing a fragrance than you probably would have thought there would be. There are so many choices in the world of men’s fragrances that you can literally decide the type of image and style you want to portray, and then find a scent that matches that image perfectly. And men, don’t forget; trying out the different smells for yourself around your girlfriend may be the most invaluable way of finding just the right smell for you!
