Diesel: Fuel for Life Femme, Eau de Parfum

I got this perfume at christmas and to say I love it would be an understatement! It's gorgeous. Unlike many other perfumes I have bought, it actually lasts. I have definitely found my signature scent. The bottle is wrapped up in some funny little jumper which is quite annoying as it often slides off mid spray. The bottle itself is quite simple and neat, with cold lettering stating the name and amount. The packaging is meant to resemble a parcel and is nothing too exciting. The perfume has quite a musky/floral scent and from the looks of other people's reviews, it's an acquired taste. The scent could be quite overpowering for some, and as a result, ...  Read the complete review

I got a bottle of Diesel Fuel for Life for Christmas, to be completely honest I actually disliked the perfume as soon as I unwrapped it because the box which it was packaged inside was brown dull and boring. The box reminded me of a parcel which was wrapped up in brown paper and tied with brown string. The box looked exactly like a parcel because it even had a little tag printed onto it which also resembled an address label. It's quite funny because I'm put off a lot of perfumes simply because their boxes are badly designed and dull. The bottle looks a lot better than the box which it is supplied in, the bottle is a fairly round chunky one which has a plain ...  Read the complete review

I am pretty set in my ways when it comes to perfumes, I have a few that I like and constantly buy but when on a recent shopping trip with my daughter she told me that I simply had to have a bottle of the Diesel Fuel for Life and she proceeded to buy me one. As the bottle and the packaging are clearly marked Femme for female I am assuming that diesel does a male alternative to this but I am unsure. To be honest at first glance I thought the box looked very boring but when you take a look at the bottle it livens up a bit, the bottle is a round chunky little bottle with a gold lid and what looks like a knitted around it and the lettering "Diesel Fuel for ...  Read the complete review

It's another unphotogenic perfume bottle... it almost looks hideous in the photo. The first spray I had of Diesel's Fuel for Life I was struck by how original it smelt. It reminded me of strength, dreaminess and vision... how? I really don't know! But that's what struck me. Without looking I definitely knew it was a female fragrance. The second time I sprayed it it was far too much - it began to become dominating, overpowering and almost intimidating. I felt as if I'd been transported into some cigar room full of old men. How's that for the magic of scent for you? One spray too much and you turn what was an attractive female strength of ...  Read the complete review

I actually didn't quite know what to expect before my first spritz, as I am usually not impressed by many mainstream fragrances. However, I was pleasantly surprised. The Fuel For Life fragrance for women is in the "woody" category for its crispness and warmth which tones down to be powdery and soft. The women's perfume has notes of mandarin, pink pepper, jasmine, patchouli, blackcurrant, raspberry, and musk. This fragrance definitely has a touch of flirtiness and sex appeal, but it's not the womanly sex appeal of spicy or oriental scents. It's more of a young, carefree, sexy that exudes a touch of naughtiness. The perfume comes in a very ...  Read the complete review
