Yee-Haw.
Not all fragrances are great. Most of them are probably just average. I wouldn't know, I haven't smelled everything. But once in a while, you encounter something familiar - something from your past - that special something, that just brings a smile to your face.
Do you know that feeling? That feeling you get when you smell your father's old aftershave? Your youth? Your coming of age? Well for me, this is one of those fragrances.
Take a look at the notes...how many citruses do you see? Fruits? Aquatic notes? No, this isn't Acqua di Gio, and I think that's what drew me to it all those years ago (of course, this is coming from a guy who wore Polo in the 9th grade, so...) In fact, the vibe you get from Hummer is actually far closer to some of the original creations by Adidas (that I also wore) and that included heavy doses of tomato leaf, coriander and oakmoss, before acquiescing to the demands of the populace for a "fresher" take on the quintessential masculine sport fragrance.
What you get from Hummer is basically a dense, slightly green, spicy amber-type of fragrance (coming from the Tonka bean and synthetic leather) that evokes a mature form of masculinity, as many vintage aftershaves do. It's not particularly original, despite standing apart from most other generic bargain freshies, since you can find a similar "type" of scent in Tim McGraw or Aqua Velva Musk. The name suits the fragrance though, because the person that comes to mind when I smell this is a born and raised Texan, complete with cowboy hat, and who drives a raised pickup truck with a rifle in one hand and a vintage Fender tele in the other. LoL Don't ask...
When I was younger, this was actually one of my favourites in the cool weather while wearing a thick black leather jacket. It made me feel manly, warm and confident, and at that age, that was kind of a big deal. But would I recommend it to others? These days...I don't know. It IS cheap, so that's a plus. But it might just smell a little too much like your father's aftershave. Personally, it'll always make me smile, but we move on. So I gave my last bottle away to my father and he loves the stuff. It's kind of ironic actually - how fragrances move across generations, only to remind you of the past. Oh well. Time to saddle up and get back to work.
