Ed Hardy 'Hearts and Daggers' for Men Eau de Toilette - 100 ml

Product Information

This one does have the sweetness and the floral notes but unlike the others I've tried in this line, I get the base notes very clearly. It brings together the unrelenting force of attractiveness and tempting fragrances of love, Romance and Glamour.

Young men don't tend to go for florals or fruits and older men tend toward masculine florals, ambers, woods, tobacco and the like. However, Escada's OL has a fizzy strawberry champagne smell and Sjp Nyc has a stronger strawberry note, Ed hardy has strawberry and some more fruits and is sugary sweeeeet and very fruity, like candy. They are keepers though because I love tiny bottles and the bottles are very well decorated and cute. It's obviously inspired by that one, except here the sweetness is turned down almost completely and everything is rendered in a more aquatic, salty, tropical fashion.The only downside is that I can only smell them on myself from around 8 in the morning until 3-4 in the afternoon. The first impression was a bad one, and I was equally repulsed with the bright magenta "punk" bottle. The packaging and bottle of the perfume are adorned with bright drawings, which depict elements of the tattoo of the world-famous master Ed Hardy. I've been looking for these perfumes for a couple of years, after my bottle from the USA ran out, and finally found them. They combine the juicier fruits, such as raspberry, apple and peach with a whiff of freshly-cut flowers.

One the reviewers said her boyfriend loved this and my boyfriend loves my perfumes so i was hoping he like it. You won't smell like anybody else wearing an aquatic, but you won't smell particularly attractive either. Reminds me of a mango version of Miami Glo without the prominence of the musk note (don't get me wrong, the musk is there).

I also think the artwork, with its skulls and heavy tattoo suggestion, doesn't match the scent at all, being so girly and fruity, but it is a big part of the brand. My favorite perfume from Christian Audigier is his debut perfume (his namesake), that is big bottle worthy, but the little bottles of the Ed Hardy perfumes are nice too. Honestly, I don't think the jasmine really works in this fruity concoction because it gives me a headache half of the time. And I love finding fragrances that are cheapie but goodies but unfortunately this is not 1 of those fragrances. My signature scent - other reviews slate it for being 'too young' or 'too fruity' but I find this is just sweet enough without being overdone.

you can really smell the apple and mango the first few minutes of putting it on, and the notes fade from top to base nicely! The middle of papaya and rosemary continues the sweet fruit and savory herb mish-mash, reminding me of the fruit salsas sometimes found in the gourmet section of commerical grocery supermarkets. considering my love for soft and subtle I'm surprised I liked this, its not disgustingly fruity or intoxicatingly (are those even words? years later, I recently tried the body spray version at cvs to reminisce but didn’t even recognize it anymore; it just smelt like a strong cheap perfume.Also, I feel there would be some personal shame for me answering the question "What are you wearing? As the fragrance matures, a billow of benzoin, amber, musk and wood notes arises to perfect the olfactory experience. It smells just like Sarah Jessica Parker's NYC perfume (a little less musky) mixed with a Philosophy's Clean perfume. I think I was about 6 years old when I ran out, and ever since the loss has haunted the perfume lover in me!
