First sptiz is a lovely sweet vanilla but very quickly dries down to just an "okay" smelling scent. Not much strength to it either.

God, I love this scent! It is perfect. I've always had problems with perfumes as they are often too sweet or just too much and I end up getting a headache. My boyfriend wore this and I tried it and instantly loved it. I've been wearing it ever since, more than six years now. This is a sweet, amber scent that can smell like incense on me sometimes. There are hints of vanilla too, but is quite understated. I always get heaps of compliments on this perfume.

The perfume bottle is also quite striking, too.

Took my hubby to pick out a new fragrance at Sephora and the store manager suggested this one which he loved. He usually wears Yves Saint Laurent L'Homme or Acqua di Gio, Pi is very different from both of those. It's masculine but not so overpowering like so many other men's scents. It's a bit powdery and warm like Donna Karan Cashmere Mist but for men in the best way possible. I can't stop smelling my hubby, it's an amazing scent!

Great fragrance. Sexy on a (the right) man, but sweet enough for women to wear. Personally I wear it myself. It reminds me of Shalimar but longer lasting and perhaps a sweeter vanilla!

This is a lovely scent, which on my skin is a combination of heliotrope, milk chocolate, benzoin, rosemary and matey bubble bath. It begins with a modern but masculine sweet cologne vibe, but as it dries down the almond and powder bloom and become both milky and caramelly.
It feels like a cross between the masculine gourmands – D&G The One Gentleman, Paco Rabanne 1 Million, Rochas Man – and the heliotrope brigade – Mazzorali Alessandro, Etro Heliotrope, and even Caron’s Farnesiana.
It’s quite buzzy and warm, and definitely a manly embrace more than a feminine one. I’m not convinced it’s unisex in the same way Bvlgari Black or Cartier Declaration are, which are two scents I love to wear.

On a guy, my guy, it’s soft, sweet and not unlike the shower. I’m not sure of the extent of which I can rock this, but I will have a go.

I love this! I wear it myself! I wouldn't buy it for a man because it smells too womanly.

I first smelled it on my ex-husband and thought it was fantastic. Yes, this is men's fragrance but I love it!
Notes(from Fragrantica)-basil, rosemary, tarragon, neroli, wood, vanilla, tonka bean, benzoin. On the first spray, you can smell herbs just a bit, and its slightly citrusy and woodsy. However, almost right away it settles down into smoky vanilla and tonka bean scent. I liked it on my ex but its because i liked this scent, period. IMO, its too sweet and feminine for a guy to wear(this is coming from someone who doesn't like unisex scents and likes to smell feminine).When i read some reviews on Fragrantica, there were several guy reviewers who said same thing. I do love this fragrance however-its very rich cozy scent, perfect in cool weather. If you like orientals/vanilla scents, i highly recommend it! It may be FBW for me.
P.S. I was recently complimented on this scent by a guy who said it smelled feminine and sweet so there you go

A warm woody vanilla. Unfortunately it gives me a terrible headche. Reminds me a bit of Rochas Man- but the Rochas has some lavender in it that gives it a twist. The EDT last for 7 hours on my skin. Don't think I would like this on a man--too sweet.

This is my favorite cologne ever, and I've sniffed a lot of cologne. I'm a woman and like it so much that I've even worn it on myself a few times, but it smells too spicy and masculine for me to wear it often. However, I bought it for my boyfriend and adore the way it smells on him. So sexy! Spicy but slightly sweet, with a hint of vanilla. It seems very "manly but sensitive" haha. I would be happy if he never wore any other cologne except this!

Would buy again and again and again! I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE this cologne on my husband. He is very much a manly man who love to hunt and fish and come home and cuddle too! He knows this scent makes me just... well ;) Anyways he seems to like it too as he wears most every day he's not at work.

It is a sweeter smell with some musky vanilla to it but Im not a fan of smells that are strong citrus or linen type smells. I really dont like Ck1 or cool water and Im definately not a fan of "old man smells" but this is just so pleasant and sexy and masculine and rolled into one.

Love it!

This is so unique and wonderful! I purchased it for my husband after reading the reviews here on MUA...was not disappointed. Smells like no other cologne...very subtle sweetness to it...not cloying, just unique...everytime he wears it, someone asks what he is wearing or states that he smells delicious!

Got this for my hubby for christmas, after spending a day at
the department store, sniffing through the complete selection...ugh!
This was the first one that didn´t smell old spicy to me and I got it. It´s a warm, powdery scent, but not overpowering or headache inducing. It´s smells very yummy, almost a little feminine, so don´t I wouldn´t recommend it to a overly masculine He-Man type, lol.
I actually like wearing it, too.

On first try, this is gorgeous, very like Bvlgari Black on me. (I'm female.) I was ready to charge out and buy a full bottle. On second try, I got a hairspray note, probably from the Guaiac, which never likes me, and it ended up as vanilla, neroli and wood with sharp sharp edges. So I'm torn. I loved it first out and scrubbed it second. Try before buy. I think it will work as HG for some and not for others. And it's definitely unisex: This could be worn by anybody at all, so don't let your man hog it all. (or, gentlemen, share with your ladies)

I absolutely love this cologne! It has a nice light scent. My ex-boyfriend used to wear it. It's such a wonderful scent! But it doesn't smell good if someone uses too much at once.

My absolute favorite perfume. Not only does it smell absolutely amazing (a warm, musky, almost oriental spiciness with rich layers of wood smoke and vanilla) but it garners tons of compliments from both men and women. The citrus and green top notes are fleeting, though they do add a bit of crispness to the scent.
