Reviews of Casual for Men by Paul Sebastian

Show: All Reviews
ANOTHER one discontinued by Paul Sebastian??? I wore Casual for Men on a regular basis. I would constantly receive compliments on how great I smelled. It is an aromatic white fragrance. I found it very similar to Best of Chevignon (of which I still have two full bottles remaining in my wardrobe, as well as the original Chevignon, which smells like the now-discontinued Polo Crest). I've got only one full bottle left of Casual for Men, so I will have to use it very sparingly and now only on special occasions. Again, I can't believe they discontinued Casual for Men since it was readily available not that long ago.

borderline bug sprayish yet sour citrusy due to jasmine...maybe it last a long time but some will think its harsh like bug spray and it comes close to this...but depending on your skin it may be nicer on you. I am on the fence with this one...i have to give it a few more tries and report back...its a possible headache inducer for some and while it seems citrus its synthetic through and through.

Casual is the most fitting name for this fragrance, because that is exactly what Casual is. It opens up with a nice citrus blend, with some powder and musk. The top fades pretty quick into a floral heart, a floral heart which I am not at all fond of. Jasmine, jasmine, jasmine. LOTS of jasmine. Jasmine is one flower that I do not want to smell like. Fortunately it doesn't project very much at this juncture. Mostly jasmine now, backed with a little spice and powder, the citrus has died off. The jasmine just goes on and on and on, for a good 4 hours. By which point, I get more musk in the base and maybe some soft woods. Projection is below average, which makes this a good casual office scent, granted you love jasmine. Longevity is about 6 hours or so. It's one of those fragrances to me that has potential but gets killed by one or 2 notes. For me, it's the jasmine, and the musk in the base. I'm not much a fan of musk to begin with, I find the musk in this to smell very cheap, and dirty.

Casual for Men starts out disconcertingly sour. For about a half-hour, the citrus is underlined by a sweetness that clashes and produces a mildly sickly note. Mercifully, this subsides fairly quickly leaving a soft and pleasant fresh floral and citrus-wood aroma in its wake. The essentially low-cost structure of this scent shows through so it is not a world-beater, but those in need of an inexpensive and slightly less generic take on fresh citrus might check this out.

I read the reviews and much people love it. I bought this perfume because of this on the web. And when I got and tried.. I was very-very surprised.. It' s terrible.. The beginning was a nightmare with so many very sour citrus (this part is like a fly-killer spray) and then came the very synthetic flowers (perhaps a big dose of jasmine and very synthetic rose..worse than a 1 $ airfreshener!) And at this point I began to sneeze from this only 1 spritz.. but I've decided to wait for the drydown...which is a semi-sweet-sour something remembering me my grandfathers cheapest cologne from the '70s..so, after these I took this all with its box to throw it into the dumpster. I don't believe that anybody wants to smell like this horrific mosquito-killer kinda "perfume". Absolutely the worst! I don't recommend anyone!

For the price, Casual for Men is a great citrus fragrance. Citrus and some light florals with a hint of animalic dirtiness in the base to set it apart and make it more masculine. Leagues better than the vile toilet cleaner that is PS Design. Also, for a fragrance of this type, it lasts a while and has decent sillage.

An agreeable, vaguely floral fragrance that stays pretty linear from top to bottom. I can't agree with other reviewers that claim any kind of longevity -- 60 to 90 minutes is about the longest interval I can squeeze out of several sprays. The name is certainly apt, though; good casual scent for the office. So toss the bottle in your briefcase (Bonus: it resembles a small whiskey flask) and give yourself 3-4 booster sprays throughout the day. Thumbs up if only it lasted a bit longer on me...

I just bought Casual earlier today-- I was strapped for cash and could only spend $10(by the way I'm thirteen) This was a blind buy because I wasn't able to open the packaging, because it was the cheapest cologne at tg maxx I bought it. This is a great day scent during the colder months and is a great evening fragrance year-round. It starts out fresh and dries down to a great outdoorsy, manly, and flowery smell. This is one of the only Paul Sebastian colognes that I feel isn't just for old people. This is also a nice subtle date scent although I prefer more oriental fragrances when on a date. ps it says its discontinued but I found a whole bunch of it at the store.

A thoroughly agreeable and pleasant fragrance. It dries down to a rich, clean-smelling bouquet. I have received many compliments wearing this, and it lasts all day.

Spicy and soapy that reminds me of Calvin Klein's Contradiction for Men. This is cheaper and better. It's not better because it's cheaper, It's less herbal than Contradiction and lasts longer.

Nice clean 'hi there' scent. Love it. Dries down to a manly 'dirty' that's still clean. Last a while, the entire time waving at you like a new friend at a party. Inexpensive too.

Nice, "bright" scent -- very much in the same family as the (new) Oscar for Men. Like Oscar for Men and Happy by Clinique, this is a "feel good" fragrance for me. I grab the little frosted bottle whenever I need a pick-me-up in the middle of the day. And you can't beat the price, either -- I picked up my last bottle at Gordman's for all of $12.95 plus tax.
