CRISTIANO RONALDODiscover 30ml Eau de Toilette for Men

Super

I wasn't sure what to expect. I see the Cristiano Ronaldo CR7 fragrances at discount stores all the time selling for next to nothing. Doing a cursory scan of the internet showed reviews of the others in the line to be all over the place, and there wasn't much information on this one in particular. I'm a Chelsea fan (despite a couple of bad seasons), so my motivation to like anything from the man is low. But this piqued my interest, and the notes sounded interesting, so I went ahead and ordered it.I'm glad I did. It's a really beautiful summer freshie. It's perfect for the high heat and would be great in the spring and early fall as well. It opens with a burst of fresh citrus - with lemon and orange being prominent. it's bright and clean and avoids going into house-cleaner territory. The dry down adds clary sage which gives it some depth and a little bitterness to contrast against the sweetness, and there's a hint of lavender which gives it a little bit of floral decoration. It finally settles into a woody aromatic with a bit of patchouli to add to the clean opening notes. it reminds me a bit of JPG Le Male, but stands out on its own.Performance is great. Citruses don't usually last very long on my skin, but this one lasts a good 6-8 hours and projects a nice little scent trail. My girlfriend absolutely loves it, and I like wearing it for her. It's too bad that it's coming out close to the fall because that will limit when I wear it for a while, but when the hotter months come back around, this will feature prominently in my rotation.

I know scents can are very personal, so my opinion of Cristiano Ronaldo CR7 Discover may not reflect your experience. I found the smell of this cologne to be unsophisticated and, dare I say, cheap. It reminds me of what I would wear when I was a teenager just starting to get into colognes and not something I would wear to the office. That said, the price point is intriguing (1/3rd the price of what I pay for my regular cologne), so that is a huge upside. Overall, this is something not for me, but could be perfect for someone else.

I collect and use a lot of cologne; this particular offering intrigued me for its price point. I should have known better. It smells very orange-y which is fine, not too chemical-y, but the longevity and projection is surprisingly bad. This almost smells like a citrus air/room spray than a cologne and lasts just about as little. Don't really recommend it vs other cheap colognes in the market.

The Cristiano Ronaldo CR7 Scent is a good perfume with a fresh scent. Really like it on a daily basis. The last is more than 5 hrs. I love the smell and my wife too. I prefer to use it on a daily basis but can be used for special occasions if you want to. The box and the container show very good Quality and are nice looking. Perfect for a gift.
