About this deal

but I can never be a fond of it, simply because it makes all other ambroxan based fragrance "identical" Maybe Jimmy Choo Urban Hero is 'nothing new' but I think a good idea/formulation never is victim to 'nothing new'. It is just good. This scent is maybe styled from earlier times, but it is classy, no doubt fun.

Performance is nothing to write home about either - projecting strongly for about 60 minutes before dying down to become a skin scent for another couple of hours. The good news is, mainstream, periodic fragrance buyers, that enjoy sweet/spicy/musky/fresh smelling, masculine colognes, can blind buy Urban Hero with confidence! Nothing new' for me is a turn on. I can't even name how many silly, esoteric, exclusively priced and just plain ridiculous fragrances are out there. Blah!!!!!!

Both share Vetiver and Vetivers can really differ. I am a former Vetiver hater that now loves it. Lavender is not the same as Finger Lime but they do have a certain brightness. Dunhill Valensole Lavender is a fleeting Lavender open. After it is gone, the similarities to Jimmy Choo 'Urban Hero' begin. Jimmy Choo may have created the accidental, ultimate Lavender Accord by its use of Finger Lime and Rosewood/ Vetiver !!! Bring in the lab, please. The higher end I have: Bortnikoff, Roja Dove, Francesca Bianchi, Strangelove, Dior prive, and just alot of Animalics for winter.

Not pushy, but not a pushover, either. The spicy citrus stays light and refreshing in personal space, but the animalics laying just above the skin have some weight. Jimmy Choo Fragrances Are The Ultimate Accessories For Women And Men, Revealing Their Seduction. Objects Of Desire To Prolong The Jimmy Choo Style, And The Essence Of The Brand. However, the scent quality and formulation of the notes seems somewhat lower quality (not as rich/dense/potent) than it should be, being that it’s an EDP formulation. Although, performance and longevity are certainly better than average, and will yield 6-10 hours on most people's skin and can be smelled at an elbow’s length distance for 80% of it’s life cycle. Urban Hero is smells nothing like Aventus...so get that out of your head. Urban Hero will smell familiar to many people, and can be best described as smelling like a dialed down (in sweetness, herbaceous, intensity, and projection) Invictus (OG) and Rasasi Hawas with a scent character/style that has been intended for men 30+ years of age.

The 'wood' is created in Dunhill probably from Sage, Amber, and Guiac. The wood in 'Urban Hero, is from Palisander rosewood--maybe some Vetiver.

You see. . . I am finding out that my tastes are simple. I really like Juicy Couture on women. I really like Dunhill on men. I like 'With Love' from Paris Hilton on women, and sometimes on me. I just bought two bottles of Lolita Lempika pour Homme because that is how much I love this anise-laced, fun, carefree and even flirty scent. Hugh Parsons is a great British parfumer and its Hyde Park is a triple level Fig Trip with some incense. Oh yeah. . it lasts and is somehow really different than other Figs. I have Imaginary Authors 'Fig', Molinard 'Fig' and Diptyque 'Fig'. Fig Experts: please comment. Urban Hero has as a somewhat cheap peppery scent when you smell your skin, but the scent that projects is pleasant, mildly sweet, with a fresh, aquatic, metallic-like character as the fragrance develops on your skin. Making Urban Hero smells sort of like an avant-garde, and refined version of Invictus/Hawas, and/or many other sweet/spicy/fresh colognes currently on the market. Side Rant: Words like 'nothing new' are throughout the fragrance community. One reviewer commented, 'the market is so crowded that there are no new fragrances.' Pretty darned profound! This is partly why I am deeply into the animalics--some that really are for just around the house, if you know what I mean. Animalics really can play with your senses and may even be slightly offensive so get rid of literal 'stinkers'.Lets be unnatural: Synthetics can do things that others cannot. We all know musk, patchouli, leather--these are a few projection/longevity classics. You don't have permission to access "http://www.superdrug.com/fragrance/jimmy-choo/b/409012" on this server. It is an equalizer of literally every smell, very easy way to ruin a product and lose the uniqueness.

Ill be honest, Jimmy Choo man is the WORST fragrance I have ever owned. I blind bought, used it a few times and hated every moment. The house was absolutely sullied and I wrote them off. I didnt even want to try another from Jimmy Choo. I wound up trying Ice and it was straight trash to me. Firstly, aesthetics wise the bottle is beautiful which was what attracted me in the first place, shiny metal and glass, trademark of a modern world. The shape is like a hip flask where you would carry some potent scotch for a sip or pour into your coffee. The detailing on the cap gives it that minimalist refined touch. It speaks, I'm tough, I'm fragile, what you see is what you get but I hide surprises if you look careful. The bottle is crafted beautifully.

Fragrance wise, I can't say I can smell the lemon caviar but the top note is definitely pepper and to me something very green and fresh which fades off into the vetiver heart note. I can't say I smell the rosewood which was a bit disappointing as that combination I think was to give that mysterious vibe akin to an Oriental antique medicinal shop. Base note is faintly tobacco and mild leather which fades into skin scents.
