Story by Paul Smith Fragrance/Cologne Review (2002) *Sleeper Hit*

[midtownhavok]

I personally hated this stuff. The opening was sickening, It smelled like opening a spice cabinet with a mixture of cloves, nutmeg, and oregano.

[ArtyomShipoff]

I used to have this one. Very nice frag. It's very good in late winter, early spring. Makes good combination with leather jacket.

good review

earthy?

need to try this! i luv terre d'hermes and Being looking earthy green mineral fragrance like terre d'hermes

i was reading reviews of un jardin de mediteranee, someBody said PAUL SMITH LONDON is Better, so i was reading reviews aBout it (real good reviews, saying it is a complex gourmand, well done, gets compliments and its Boozy and those are traits im looking for in fragrance too)

so seems like noBody had review PAUL SMITH LONDON, it is discontinued

did you ever tested this?

[topgear1138]

Just bought to bottles of it today in a store that doesn't sell Story any more. A new 30 ml bottle (but with a sprayer that is sadly a bit broken) and a 100 ml tester that's 80% full for $52. Had to buy the 30ml to get the tester.

Still cheap I think and I'll just have to be carefull with the broken sprayer.

i like this, got it last year, it actually smells like fairy washing up liquid though

[warphace]

Just got this in, this is by far the weakest fragrance I have ever purchased, I gave my arm a solid 4 sprays and smelled......nothing. Just a faint smell of a cheap shoe store. I'm sorry Marc but im going to have to disagree with you on this one. Bargain bin for a reason.

Just tried out my sample of this about for the second time, and I'm not to sure. I get pretty bad projection/silage, and longevity. Must be my skin, ahah. Roughly stays on my skin for 3-4 hours, and I along with the others I've asked only seem to be able to smell it when they get right up close (nose on skin fun, ahah).

Also get a pretty linear scent of the top notes (I cant figure out what it reminds me of, lol its really bothering me.)

if your looking for a lemony scent try lemon for men you can get it at bath and body works for around $36 dollars kinda harsh though or try there 1835 thats a lil more mellow......... but this scent i really wanna try thanks marc!

[r0bdigz]

Been looking at this for awhile. You can get this really cheap.

[Prophecy23JC]

What song is this Marc?

[GunLoc]

Jay-Z - Run This Town

[Prophecy23JC]

thank you

[imprezzy]

I bought a tester of this one to replace Thierry Mugler cologne. I went back to TM Cologne eventually. LOL. I sold this one after I wore it for 5-6 months. The grapefruit note gave me a bit of a headache, but the dry down is nice and very clean. I got my tester 3.3 bottle for $25 shipped from Scentiments back in 2008.

[ToddEB9]

Going on the TO BUY list for when it warms up!

[Prophecy23JC]

Hot Geek! .. nice touch

[tswetcoff]

Great review as always marc, i need to try this one out

[Prophecy23JC]

This seems like the perfect scent for what I'm looking for. with the lemon-ie zest. Plus no-one has it. Wondeful.. thanks for the tip. Now just to find. Would you say this does the natural lemon the best?

[TylerJordan69]

Does this fragrance have a story to tell? Nope thought so.

[CanwllCorfe615]

This is a great fragrance! This and Creed's Green Valley are my favorite green fragrances.

[iPervy]

Hm... Definitely need to give this one a sample, great review!

[Atmosphereification]
