The review
On paper, Optimystic Black is a reasonable bet if you want The One for Men for less.
Fragrance World sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is The One for Men's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Fragrance World publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
The original opens on grapefruit, coriander and basil, turns to ginger, cardamom and orange blossom, and settles into tobacco, amber and cedar. That is the brief Optimystic Black is working from.
Top
- grapefruit
- coriander
- basil
Heart
- ginger
- cardamom
- orange blossom
Base
- tobacco
- amber
- cedar
Warm ginger and sweet tobacco with a powdery glow, the definitive going-out cologne.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
How it ranks against the other twins
- 01 AromaPassions Unity $69/100ml
