MCM Onyx Eau de Parfum - 30ml (for Men)

Blindly purchased this having no idea what it smelled like, it was a very very last minute birthday gift for my boyfriend and i only picked it because it’s a mini version of the same exact backpack he has so i thought it was a cute idea. i was nervous because this man is an absolute fragrance snob, but it turned out to be a really high quality cologne and the fragrance is lovely, like the type of smell that is universally liked. a little goes a long way and the smell lasts through 12-hour sweaty shifts. i find myself using this one a lot for myself as well and always get compliments. overall it’s a good value for the price, great quality product, really pleasant smell and super cute and unique bottle/packaging

Reviewing a cologne or perfume is a difficult task. Scent preferences are very personal so I tend to focus more on function rather than the scent itself. That said, I do enjoy the scent. I am male and I scent is intended to be masculine. My nose is not sophisticated enough to pick out the ginger, lavender, and clearwood but the smell is pleasing and fresh. It certainly changes from the initial application. After about 30-45 minutes the scent settles in to what you'll smell like. The lasting power is very good. I find that I can still smell it after a full day of work (I work in an office). I ultimately judge a scent by the number of unsolicited compliments I get. In the course of my work day I interact with the public in a smallish room. I will see 25+ different people each day. I will say that this scent does not get many compliments. No one outright says it's a bad scent either. I compare that to another much cheaper cologne I wear which has consistently received compliments and even has other men asking the name of the scent. This is a very non scientific way of comparison but for me it makes me think that the scent of Onyx isn't a slam dunk. Again, it's not a bad scent and I even personally enjoy it but based on my experience it's not the best either. Overall I'll say 3 stars for the scent, 5 stars for the function and lasting power which I'll average out to 4 stars.

got this for a friend he loves it

This smells horrible smells like not how it’s described it smells like shaving cream who wants to walk around smelling like shaving cream Do not buy it and what’s worse is it can’t be returned

This men's scent leans toward the sweet side but not overly so, an aroma that I find floral-forward with a musk undertone. I'm no expert in scents, though, so this is more of an impression than a real analysis. It's also long-lasting indicative of quality ingredients. This quality is probably its best feature and what makes it well-worth the relatively high retail price for the one-ounce bottle I ordered. I've tried many scents at much lower price-points but this one is proof of the old saying about getting what you pay for. The spray bottle for this scent is cute but what's more important is that it's well-made so unlikely to give out or break down before its entire contents are used, a problem that sometimes occurs with poorly made packaging. This is a delightful product and merits a strong recommendation.
