Gin Tonic Men (Eau de Toilette)

Eau de Toilette

Gin Tonic Men Eau de Toilette opens with pineapple, lemon and ginger for a fresh, citrusy, lightly sweet scent for men; it has been discontinued. The top is pineapple and lemon, sharpened by ginger. Nutmeg and lavender come in through the heart, and cedarwood sets a calm woody base. The overall impression is fresh and aquatic, with a fruity, sweet side softened by floral touches and a faintly synthetic feel. Voters find both longevity and sillage weak, though the number of votes is small, so this is a rough guide. It suits those who want a light, unshowy men's scent. Azha Ocean Breeze and Route 66 From Coast to Coast have a close profile.

Original 78 White

7.3

Gin Tonic · 2024

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Gin Tonic Original 78 White is a fresh, lightly sweet and powdery women's fragrance that links a citrus and ozonic sparkle to the soft floral side of lotus and rose. It opens bright and airy with bergamot, lemon, ozonic notes and blackcurrant. In the heart, lotus, rose, geranium and floral notes take over and the scent turns softer and powdery. Frankincense, sandalwood and musk leave a creamy base underneath. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it makes itself known without filling the room. Voters pick it mostly for daily wear and leisure, with sport and the office close behind, while night and evening use gets far fewer votes. Angel Schlesser Femme Adorable and La Rive Pearl Woman have a close profile.

Happy Hour Women

5.9

Gin Tonic · 2009

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Gin Tonic Happy Hour Women is a discontinued women's fragrance that pairs a fresh, fruity opening of orange, passion fruit and kiwi with a floral heart and a soft woody base. The opening is led by citrus and fruit: orange, passion fruit and kiwi give it a fresh, sweet start. In the heart, lotus, rose and jasmine turn it floral, while sandalwood, patchouli, musk and woody notes in the base soften it and settle it on a warm footing. The overall impression is light, sweet and slightly synthetic. Its longevity is rated weak, and none of the voters found it strong, though the number of votes is small. It suits those who want an easy, fresh everyday scent. Comptoir Sud Pacifique Mora Bella / Fruits Sauvages and Dolce & Gabbana Dolce Lily have a close profile.

Happy Hour Men

5.8

Gin Tonic · 2009

Fresh · Citrus · Green

Gin Tonic Happy Hour Men is a fresh, citrusy men's fragrance that opens on mandarin orange, mint and grapefruit; it has been discontinued. The top is mandarin orange, mint and grapefruit, with caipirinha, lavender and lotus in the heart. Vetiver, tonka bean and cedarwood anchor the base in a woody, spicy foundation. Fresh, green and fruity accords dominate, and the fougère structure with lavender gives it a classic masculine line, though a synthetic edge is noticeable. Longevity is rated weak, so it may need reapplying through the day. Its light, airy character suits warm days best. Atkinsons Mint & Tonic and Cerruti 1881 Essentiel have a close profile.

Gin Tonic Women

7.0

Gin Tonic · 2008

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Gin Tonic Women is a women's fragrance that pairs citrus and floral notes in a fresh, green and lightly sweet style, leaning towards casual and daytime wear; it has been discontinued. Most voters pick it for leisure and daily wear, with sport and office use not far behind. Night-out and evening votes are clearly fewer. It is presented as a feminine scent. The top opens with neroli, apple, lemon and grapefruit, the last two giving it a bright start. In the heart, lotus, raspberry, freesia and rose add a soft floral and fruity layer. Cedarwood, musk and amber in the base warm it slightly and round it off. The overall feel is a sweet-leaning freshness with a chypre touch and a synthetic edge.
