Apperances Can Be Deceptive
I'd been contemplating buying this for quite a few months before I finally decided to take the plunge. However I’d always been put off buying it by the seemingly cheap and tacky looking bottle. You know what they say though, 'never judge a book by its cover' and that phrase is seemingly appropriate with this one as the juice it contains is really rather nice. Storm London for Him is a sweet, fresh and sporty scent in which the notes of peppermint and lavender are the ones that tend to dominate. Great value for money too as it can be picked up in lots of places fairly inexpensively; and silage and longevity are both very good for the price too. If you're looking for a light, airy warm weather scent but only have a small budget then you could certainly do a lot worse than this.

Cosiness in a bottle
The rum, cognac, honey and fig are the notes that stand out the most to me. These combine to create a warm and comforting, boozy kind of fragrance which leaves you wondering whether you should be spraying it on or drinking it! In my opinion this is definitely a scent for the colder times of year as it's a bit too heavy and oily to be wearing in warmer weather. A fragrance that'd be perfect to wear on cosy nights in, in the middle of winter, while sat in front of a roaring fire. Great stuff!

Ferrari by name, but not by nature
Unfortunately a very cheap and generic drugstore style scent which does not reflect the Ferrari brand name. What you get is essentially citrus top notes which then dry down to a woody style base. The notes in the pyramid do look quite interesting, but unfortunately I've not been able to detect most of them myself. On the plus side though it's a pleasant enough fragrance, there's just nothing that stands out enough for me to be able to recommend it. Even at this kind of price point you can do so much better. Ferrari do seem to have moved up a couple of gears over the past couple of years or so with the 'Essence Collection' which seem to be higher quality on the whole. So I look forward to taking those for a spin and hope for better results.

Pros: Nice bottle, inexpensive
Cons: Very ordinary smelling, poor longevity"

Promises, but doesn't deliver
CK Free is a fragrance that promises so much, yet delivers so little. The notes in the pyramid look absolutely amazing; however the scent in the bottle bears little to no resemblance to those notes. That said it's not actually a bad fragrance. It's clean, light and fresh. Unfortunately it's also very generic and very run-of-the-mill.

Not a KISS of death
Probably one of the best bang for your buck fragrances that you'll ever come across. KISS Him is a very dark, spicy and seductive scent which people would probably easily dismiss due to it being a celebrity fragrance. This is a mistake as it makes a very good scent for the cooler months with the added bonus of impressive longevity. If you can put aside the affiliation with a bunch of aging rock stars, and I suggest that you do, then that this is definitely an enjoyable scent and a worthy addition to anyone's collection.
