Disadvantages: short scent life, not popularly known

I was at first, hesitant to write my review on this perfume that I've been using because I have not much idea how will I present it. This is my first review on personal products (body products) when much of my reviews are mostly music that I listen to, my choicest movies and some tech gadgets that I own and had used. I may not sound like a perfume guru but I'll try my best to cover important aspects based on my experience and opinion. And maybe I'll start including my best picked "body products" on my review lineup because I do use them everyday too.

Adidas Game Spirit perfume

I'm a bit choosy when it comes to fragrances because I really get irritated with strong smell that's why I have no particular scent of choice but except my Adidas Game Spirit perfume. I usually pick light smelling or cologne based scent. I like experimenting to couple of fragrances and wear it depending on my mood. Right now I have 5 on the shelf; one from Avon, two fragrances from Glad called "Still" and "Praise", one from Mustang and of course, Adidas Game Spirit. I'm proud to say that my Adidas Eau de toilette Game spirit is my second bottle already (my most used, so now it's empty again). The other four are still under evaluation. I also have tried other Adidas scents like Adidas Sports Fever (the one in orange box) and Adidas Team Force (in gray box) and I like the light smelling masculine fragrance. I think I'm beginning to love this brand and I'm planning to try other scents.

A closer look:

Adidas Game Spirit cologne for men was launched in 2004. Blended in are Amber, Tobacco and wood base notes with middle notes of Jasmin and Citrus. It's recommended for day or night wear. I must say that scent was overall pleasing, sensual, light/simple none irritating smell.
Net weight content is 3.4 oz (100ml) boxed in a presentable and appealing green and black case in a palm size, slim bottle.

Why I choose this scent:

I bought my Adidas Game Spirit at my local store. I have no idea before that Adidas has a line of perfume. I've known Adidas for sporting goods (which I own some of their products) and I like the good quality of this brand. After some scent tests of their perfume, I was tempted with its pleasing fragrance of Game Spirit. Plus I like the presentable, elegant black/green colored packaging. Of course, the good name also made me not to think twice to try this product.

I really like its tempting, contemporary masculine scent. My girlfriend love to smell my neck when I'm wearing it. She said its nice smelling and seductive that's why this one has been my favorite. (hehe!)

The Price:

I checked out the online price from a few online shops and quoted their latest price below.

Fragrancex.com - $ 12.17 (£ 7.39)
Perfume.com - $ 11.99 (£ 7.28)
Strawberrynet.com - $ 19.00 (£ 11.54)
amazon.co.uk - £11.85

For me, online price cost a bit higher than store price because I got this one at only around £7.

Conclusion:

If you prefer mild woody warm, oriental fragrance like I do, I think you will like this one. It's recommended for college or office men. The good name of this brand was another plus factor why you should pick this one. The scent can last 6- 10 hours. I think this is the standard scent life for Eau de toilette perfume so fair enough I guess. The price is very reasonable compared to the other known perfume brand. Simple yet elegant scent and the refreshing smell is enough good reason for everyday use.

You can also try those Adidas scents I've tried that I mentioned above. For me, those scents are definitely no regret to have.
