About This Perfume

Think Cool bergamot and lemon with fresh cedar: that is Diesel Diesel. It opens with black pepper, thyme and bergamot, moves into clary sage, ginger and carnation and settles on cedar, patchouli and amber. It leans masculine, though anyone can wear it.

This eau de toilette works across all four seasons and is a daytime scent. It suits casual days. Released in 1996.

Wearers report that it lasts a solid half day on skin, and projects to about arm's length.

Is it right for you?

  • Best for: anyone after something fresh and uplifting for casual days.
  • Sample first if: spicy is new territory for you.
  • Skip if: you dislike woody fragrances.

Around $92.

The Brand

Diesel

Diesel is an Italian designer denim brand whose fragrance line is a mainstay of the mid-price masculine market, Only The Brave (2009) and its Tattoo/Wild flankers helped define the sweet-spicy-woody men's template of the last fifteen years. The 22 live pieces on Scendira lean strongly masculine (13 of 22) and skew Gourmand (9) and Fresh (8). Prices sit in the accessible-designer band: $8.99-$96 (average $58). Standout live pieces: Bad Intense ($33,.14, spicy leathery tobacco with resinous warmth), Only The Brave Tattoo ($45.99,.02, sweet apple and pepper over smoky tobacco), Loverdose Red Kiss ($95,.02, sweet berry and fruit tartness with creamy cocoa), Fuel for Life Homme ($93.90,.91, sweet grapefruit anise tea with rosy lavender) and Only The Brave ($59,.87, bright citrus, rosemary, and leather-fresh air). Diesel is the honest pick for a bold, recognizable designer masculine.
