Impact by Tommy Hilfiger

I’ve used this quite a bit, so here’s the deal: it’s a super clean, fresh, and familiar citrus-woody scent. Simple but effective. It smells different on clothes versus skin. Being linear means no complex pyramid, but right after application, it shines with lots of vitality. It opens with white woods and that famous ‘chemical’ note, Akigalawood (derived from patchouli), giving a clean metallic vibe like freshly washed laundry. The citrus doesn’t explode at first; it resonates in the dry down. To me, it smells like orange and a hint of lime, with a very subtle herbal nuance, maybe a touch of coca. The base is amber to add body without heaviness and a musk that ties everything together. Compared to Bois Imperial by Quentin, this captures about 45% of that essence, but here you get musk and amber where the other has citrus. It’s like a solid, budget-friendly version. Perfect for spring, summer, and fall, only during the day, because in cold weather or at night, it loses its punch. Smells unisex-masculine and works for any casual situation. Longevity: 4-6 hours, strong projection for the first two hours, though it reappears if you sweat. Price: 8.5/10, Versatility: 6.5/10, Sillage: 6.5/10, Scent: 7/10. A great scent for everyday wear.

Worth it: it’s a fruity-woody perfume with great longevity and average projection. If I were to describe it, it’s like a cocktail of oranges inside a cabin, very masculine.

In my opinion, it’s not for me—I’m not saying it’s bad, just that I don’t like it. At first, it has a very fresh and citrusy opening that’s quite pleasant; I was fascinated by that initial blast, but as it dries down, it changes into a fairly heavy scent. It smells too much like incense, like a ‘santería’ or even a church, and for that part, I didn’t like it. I understand that based on the notes it’s very woody, but I wouldn’t recommend it because of that heavy aroma.

It smells like the traditional Hugo Boss Bottled, nothing more. I don’t get the hype, it’s a good fragrance but literally just that.

Absolutely gorgeous perfume, undoubtedly my favorite among my collection of 60 fragrances. I’ve never found a fresh perfume that lasts as long as this one; it smells rich and lasts well for a fresh scent. It’s a scent I have to keep smelling because I love it so much; girls love it too. If it’s similar to its brother, the Intense, then in my personal opinion, this one is much better—fresher.

Great scent! It lasts surprisingly long with a perfect projection—nothing too overpowering. It’s not as woody as people say; instead, it’s fruity with red apple and a hint of white woods. Honestly, it smells a lot like Ferrari Black but with much better performance.

Unbearable. It’s a cloying amber mess with crushed herbaceous notes that are suffocatingly crude and spicy. A blend of green amber, spicy balsamic, and buds that smell like hemp. Like many perfumes today, it smells cheap; I’m not saying ten-euro scents can’t be amazing, but this has the texture of modern casino or hotel air fresheners. I haven’t smelled anything this unpleasant in designer fragments in a long time—a spray that shouldn’t have been bottled. The top notes are coca leaf and amber, while the Akigalawood molecule gives it that artificial oily wood undertone that becomes even more noticeable as it dries.

It has a… rare and particular scent. Very woody, but it smells a bit like hair gel or something synthetic; I can’t quite describe it, it just smells weird. Just a heads-up, it’s not that it smells bad. Citrus and woody from start to finish, fresh and ambered. It’s very versatile, but its best moment is in mild weather, especially rainy days; I feel it fits perfectly with the smell of wet earth. It suits all ages. Note: if you’re looking for a blue scent like Sauvage or Y, this has nothing of that; it’s not floral or spicy, less fruity, and leans more towards Bleu de Chanel. Good longevity, minimum 7 to maximum 10 hours if you spray a lot, projecting about 3 feet. A great option for a signature scent; although it seems like many fragrances due to its simplicity, that rare and rich smell makes it distinctive, not impressive, just reliable. Pyramid: 50% Woods, 30% Citrus, 20% Amber. Extreme heat 6/10, Heat 8/10, Cold 8/10, Extreme Cold 5/10, Mild 10/10, School/Office 9/10, Dates 7.5/10, Special Occasions 7/10, Daily 10/10. If you’re young, looking for something rich, woody, and masculine for daily wear that works anywhere, this is a great choice 💗.

The similarity to Boss Bottled (at least the Intense I have) is brutal, at least for the first hour. After that on my skin, the perfume ‘fell apart’ and turned into a pure synthetic and fixative smell, which I imagine must be those wood and amber-musk notes not of the best quality. At least Boss Bottled Intense maintains that opening accord that seems very effective, although sometimes I find it a bit dated. I’ll keep trying to finish the Boss Bottled bottle because this type of aroma is what I liked first, but this Tommy Impact doesn’t even make me want to finish the sample.

Good, I’ve been wearing this for two months and it was a total hit. It smells like freshly cut wood with resin right out of the bottle, then citrus notes emerge, but the woods dominate with a soft, sweet dry-down. I’ve gotten more compliments at the office, and my girlfriend absolutely loves it. It lasts about 8 hours on skin; three sprays are enough to refresh it mid-day. It has great projection, perfect for the office, semi-formal dates, or family dinners. It works great in spring and summer, even into fall. It’s fresh and pleasant, so it won’t bother anyone. The only downside is the spray shoots out too directly and the cap comes off easily, but those are minor details. Without a doubt, this is one of my favorites and it’s not expensive; I’m already thinking of trying the Intense version.

It smells good, but I don’t think it stands out much.

Godiana.

My teenage son wears it. It’s a fragrance with plenty of presence yet still feels fresh. I particularly like it for night outs; it has a strong trail.

Well, what can I say… 1. I think it’s an elegant SPORT fragrance for any season… that lavender note gives you presence wherever you are, and if you’re well-groomed, it’s a 10… 2. Performance on my skin is excellent; it lasts over 10 hours and projects for 5 of those… 3. It has a fairly sweet opening that isn’t cloying, which stays with you all day alongside the lavender note, which, though not listed, is perceptible. To summarize, I’ve worn it in all climates… it’s an excellent travel companion… being an elegant SPORT, it always leaves you looking sharp. I recommend it for men in their 30s; for those over 35, there are fragrances with more personality, but for me, it’s a great success for the house. Greetings, hope this helps.
