A good post-shower scent; simple yet charming. The first ten minutes are a bit odd, but it improves considerably afterwards.
What a delicious smell, although the longevity is extremely poor. For the price, it’s not bad; lasts about 3-4 hours at most and needs frequent reapplication. I’d give it 7/10.
As they say, it’s very clean, youthful, and fresh, with a sweet touch. Ideal for the gym or the office if you’re young. It doesn’t project much; it’s not a scent that turns heads, but most people will like it. If you’re from the 80s or 90s and smelled it in the 2000s, it will bring back nostalgia =). I bought it for that reason.
Fresh and clean at the lowest price, $12. Reminds me of Calvin Klein. Doesn’t last long but smells lovely, slightly creamy, hence the milk carton and bottle. 75ml. Recommended for collectors looking to relive the past. 8/10 for the price and presentation. If it were more expensive with different packaging, I’d drop it to 6 due to the longevity.
I like it; citrus dominates with herbal notes. Totally suitable for the office or running; it’s subtle. Buy blind.
Diesel Plus Plus: the fragrance of my childhood. Hello, I’m from Mexico, 34 years old, new to collecting, but my love for perfumes started when my mum gifted me this when I was 10 or 12. It was my gateway. Now I live in New York and found it a year ago; upon opening it, I was back in 2002. It’s unique, elegant, and simple, laden with emotions. Although it doesn’t last long on the skin, the feeling is unforgettable. Today I have a perfume shop thanks to contacts from my mum, and this will always be the memory of how it all began. Verdict: Scent 8/10, Longevity 4/10, Nostalgia 10/10. P.S.: Smelling Wild Card and John Varvatos Artisan made me think of this. P.S. 2: My son says both smell like pancake batter. 🤔
A fragrance that people have lost the context for. It only suits cold climates. It feels synthetic because that’s the premise: it tried to make a ‘leather milk’, but of a new car or motorcycle. It’s like a ‘motor oil juice’ with jeans, boots, and leather, very mechanical. It smells masculine if you dress accordingly: working man, mechanic, motorcyclist. If you wear it with a different style, it loses context and smells childish, but in itself, it’s very masculine and virile, casual and strong, for an engineer who gets their hands dirty. The smell is pleasant; at the start, the captured orange gives a serious citrus touch, then it moves to sweetness and synthetic leather. Leaves a good trail. EDIT: Forbidden in heat; smells cloying like a car air freshener. It’s not for compliments, it’s for stating who you are. Don’t buy blind; it’s not for everyone. Perhaps influencers don’t review it much because it’s cheap, but that doesn’t take away its quality. I bet if Diesel had priced it at designer level, its style would be appreciated more.
The initial spray reminded me of wet white glue with paper making a piñata. Then it moves to freshly cut wildflowers and later to candles with scented wax. You don’t identify a specific aroma quickly, but overall it’s a very subtle floral. It’s very skin-close. The packaging is brilliant. Ideal for a young girl aged 12/14 (even though it says it’s for men).
This is a delight; a dark but soft scent. Reminds me of the famous Le Male but much softer and more wearable. I liked it so much I saw it as unisex and bought it for myself.
I really expected more from this fragrance; it’s not a blind buy because it doesn’t suit everyone. With so many notes, you don’t really know what you’re smelling.
Average but does the job for everyday wear, just be careful with the spray.
Pure masculine essence: motorcycle, sporty, leather jacket. I don’t wear it to work or meetings; it’s for my collection. 🏍🏎
All women love it. It has that sweet, creamy lactonic freshness with an incredible orange blossom note giving it a citrus and floral touch. It’s very similar to Jacques Bogart Silver Scent, though not identical. The atomiser has changed; it’s not as big now, but the scent remains the same. A sweet freshness that isn’t cloying.
Nothing extraordinary, but very good value for money. It tastes rich, though it doesn’t project much. Ideal for noses that can’t handle strong scents.
Citrusy and sweet, with average projection and longevity. Good for casual outings. It’s cheap, although I believe it has been discontinued.
Rich aroma and original presentation; sweet, vanilla-infused with a hint of cinnamon. The trail is very soft, only noticeable when someone approaches, and it lasts a short while, about 2 or 3 hours. Suitable for daily wear.
Basic for everyday use, no surprises.
For me, it’s unbearably cloying.
Alongside Le Male, it was my fragrance in my teens. I bought it again at 35 out of nostalgia and it brought me back to the 90s. Now it seems innocent and very youthful, so I gifted it to my son. Still, it’s a good purchase; you can’t lose anything given the price.
It doesn’t remind me of One Million as a whole, it has similar touches but is closer to Paco Rabanne. It’s the taste of the majority, doesn’t smell cheap or generic. It has an original packaging and is worth it. All the Diesel scents share common notes. Plus Plus isn’t excessively sweet, it smells more like clean, creamy soap. Highly recommended.
I smelled it at university when I was 22; they gave it to me in a decant and I liked it. Ten years later I bought it and… I don’t like it much. It smells soapy and chemical, nothing organic, even though the notes don’t suggest that. It’s fresh but not light. I have to finish it because I bought it, but I won’t buy it again. It seems youthful and attention-grabbing, but only for people up to 25 years old.
Milky scent, good price and an interesting aroma. It’s not bad, but it’s one of those to buy just once. A rich smell, though they went for the safe option.
I owned this years ago and absolutely loved it, but it didn’t last more than two hours. I wore it daily and would just reapply to finish it off, which gave me an excuse to buy another fragrance.
In my opinion, it’s excellent: a pleasant sweetness perfect for evenings, without being overpowering if used moderately in the heat. The longevity and trail are both long-lasting and moderate respectively. What makes it outstanding is its low price in a 75 ml bottle. Trail 8, longevity 8, price 10, total 9.
Elegant. Best suited for fresh, cool evenings. Moderate trail with good longevity. Ideal for men over 25.
Umm, Diessel. It sounded like a woman’s voice when I walked past, though he was too shy to turn around. I wore it after a theft from my brother. I still hold fond memories of it, so years later I bought a bottle. Verdict: it’s somewhat optimistic, boasting the three B’s: good, beautiful, and cheap. Well, not exactly beautiful. The bottle design is quirky, resembling glass milk with original packaging mimicking milk cartons—a concept never seen before but not particularly striking. The trail is moderate, fading to skin-level after about two hours. Longevity is moderate, lasting 3 to 6 hours, though easy to reapply given the low price. Most importantly, the fragrance itself: I think it’s good; Diessel clearly put effort into the notes. I like it, though I’m not smitten and it’s not in my top ten, but for the price, it’s very well executed. It opens sweetly but not overpoweringly, with barely perceptible citrus notes; the sweet scent is noticeable and lingers. Several people said it smelled clean, which I think is why I liked it. It evokes the sensation of just stepping out of the shower. All in all, excellent value for money—I only used one bottle. Recommended; you’ll appreciate it without regrets thanks to its affordable cost.
It’s like the Eminence Verde but with an orange scent! Lasts three hours, has a soft trail, yet very pleasant.
To me, it felt synthetic and far too youthful for boys aged 15 to 18. At 39, I gave it to a friend for his son. I bought it blindly; it’s not bad, but it’s not my style.
There is no quality in its ingredients. The alcohol is of exceptionally poor quality and stings the nose upon spraying. The trail and longevity are weak; you need to reapply after three hours. The scent is so chemical it’s indefinable, though always sweet and somewhat unisex. The box is very original and the innovation is appreciated. However, the bottle itself is HORRIBLE, in any case.
Greetings, a very youthful, fresh, and sweet fragrance without being overpowering. It gives me the sensation of coconut or something similar. Very youthful, but recommended because it doesn’t hurt the wallet; it’s very cheap. The limited edition with the black packaging was more mature, with a rich, fresh, and woody aroma. The packaging is brilliant, a well-deserved 10.
