  1. Watch out for this bold Nike: they’re stepping into luxury signature territory, proving leather can be wearable and classy. They’re showing that nowadays we pay more for the brand than the scent; if this liquid were in a Tom Ford bottle called Leather Point, it’d sell for over €200 and be another top-tier versatile leather scent. Put it on after a shower with creamy vanilla gel and you’ll rule any patio… and for €2, you can even fill the bucket 🤣. But the issue is that if the musk isn’t quite right, the ginger barely shows up, the opening doesn’t explode, or the moss feels too rubbery, etc., it’s a mess compared to other scents. But since every perfume is unique, if we ignore comparisons, it’s an amazing fragrance that shouldn’t sell for €10 for 100ml, and those who don’t appreciate it should pay the €200-250 Tom Ford price knowing full well that without the logo, another user of NIKE GRAPHITE might like it just as much or even more 🤷. The price makes it shine because once you try it, you won’t forget it 😉

  2. Beware of this Nike gamble: with this perfumery work, they’re stepping into the territory of high-end brands, proving that leathers can be made wearable and tasteful. Nowadays, people pay more for the brand than the scent; if this liquid were in a Tom Ford bottle called Leather Point, it would sell for over €200 and be another top pick for versatile leathers. Put it on after a shower with creamy vanilla gel and you’ll conquer any patio. For two cents, you can douse yourself, but the issue is that if the opening isn’t as strong, the ginger barely shows up, the burst isn’t explosive, or the moss feels too rubbery… these are complaints when compared to other scents. But treating each perfume as unique and ignoring comparisons, we’re looking at a great fragrance that shouldn’t be sold for €10 per 100ml. Those who can’t appreciate this should pay the €200-250 for Tom Ford scents, knowing full well that without a label, another Nike Graphite might smell just as good or better. The price point in this brand elevates it because once you try it, you won’t forget it.

  3. It’s an affordable fragrance that surprises with its scent, far from typical fresh sporty colognes. It smells sweet, a bit sticky, but with citrus notes and a green, earthy base. It mists well and lasts quite a bit for the price. The bottle also feels nice to the touch. It’s a particular scent that won’t appeal to everyone, but the low price makes it worth it.

  4. A low-cost fragrance that surprises with its scent, far from typical fresh sporty colognes. It smells sweet and slightly sticky, but with citrus notes and a green, earthy base. It mists well and offers good performance considering the price. I also think the packaging is nice; the bottle feels good in the hand. It’s a unique scent that won’t please everyone, but it’s cheap.

    Smells like Nike, but only in name—it has nothing to do with the shoe brand. The fragrance is more related to Trussardi Uomo.

  6. Didn’t fully convince me. Smells like a daily wear, performs well, and frankly, it’s a scent that doesn’t fit Nike’s sporty image or its packaging, which feels more like a night fragrance. It’s a sweet, gourmand-leaning aroma, and I haven’t smelled anything quite like it yet—something hard to find these days. I see it as a scent for mature, bold men.
