Ed Hardy Man and Ed Hardy Love & Luck Man ― fragrance reviews
Ed Hardy Love & Luck Man includes notes of bergamot, orange, mandarin, cardamom, absinthe, sage, cypress, violet, musk, cedar, vetiver and agarwood. Love & Luck Man goes on lighter and has brighter, cooler citrus notes than Ed Hardy Man. Love & Luck Man’s mandarin-orange notes provide a steady stream of fruitiness; there’s also a subtle herbal-green accord and an aquatic-violet aroma. Agarwood? I don’t smell it; if it’s in the fragrance it must be in miniscule portion. Love & Luck Man is a good (sensible) addition to the Ed Hardy men’s fragrance range since it fits into the "summer slot" for men. Love & Luck Man is VERY "fresh" and its notes turn talc-y within a half hour on my skin.
Ed Hardy Man and Love & Luck Man are far from original; perfume fanatics have smelled hundreds of similar fragrances. But these two colognes are good choices for someone just starting out on his perfume explorations, someone who wants to smell good (not "weird") and who craves the attention a "hip" brand provides. (So, yes, these fragrances are aimed at men under 21.) The Ed Hardy perfume line is financially successful, helped along by the bottle designs and the Ed Hardy name and “mystique,” but neither Ed Hardy men’s fragrance is as "wild" and "sexy" as the ad campaigns imply. If I were wearing those Ed Hardy tiger boxer briefs and the rearing horse-with-skeleton pendant around my neck (and nothing else) you can bet I’d spritz myself with a perfume more daring than Ed Hardy Man or Love & Luck Man; I’d either accent the kitsch factor of my ensemble with Byredo Pulp or camp it up by reaching for something overtly sexy like Yves Saint Laurent Kouros, Caron Yatagan or Serge Lutens Muscs Koublaï Khan. (Perhaps I’ve found my Halloween costume for 2009? All I’ll need is a spray-on tan to complete the "look"!)
