Have you worn Ascendant?

Tell us how it opens, how it settles on your skin, how long it lasts and when you wear it.

  1. I don’t know why, but at first it smells like synthetic oud and kind of grosses me out. Then it settles down a bit. Does anyone else experience this?

  2. Isaac Blanco

    It sounds very masculine and the longevity isn’t great for winter, but the dry-down is the best part; right out of the bottle it smells a bit like Versace Eros.

    Really good fragrance. Out of ten women, eight love it; moderate sillage and projection. In Ecuador it’s not cheap, around $50 or more, but it’s worth it. Smells sweet, vanilla, and woody, similar to Givenchy Pi.

    Well, it smells like a cheap perfume, something for beginners or high schoolers, nothing for guys looking to pick up girls, and it lasts only an hour on the skin.

    Well, it smells like a cheap beginner cologne, more for high schoolers than for guys looking to pick up a date. Lasts about an hour on the skin.

    Hey! This fragrance is delicious, I loved it, it’s very soft. I bought it to mix with other strong scents to mellow them out, resulting in a delicious and lasting aroma. Today I mixed it with Boucheron and got compliments; the blend is very pleasant. I wouldn’t recommend it just for summer because it fades in 1 or 2 hours. That said, it’s super cheap, I got it for $10 on a promotion, and I also help a friend who sells her products.

  7. It has moderate longevity, though the sillage stays very close to the skin. It’s versatile for ages and occasions. I use it for daily wear and occasionally when a girl gets close, she usually likes it. By the end of the day, nothing special, but if you find it at a low price, it’s a steal.
