Akuto review at first..sniff

Before ordering my P83 in 20% Akuto, I had no idea what it smelt like, but I ordered out of impulse, and because I heard some good things about it from many users and test subjects mentioned on the forum. So here is my interpretation of this smell.

In my opinion, it smells great when spread around and left to sit, the scent is awesome as it is highly masculine, yet light. But when densely packed onto one area, it smells pretty..well..how do I explain it? It smells like you just spent a day in a buddhist temple and rubbed yourself all over with incense. It’s kind of like the smell when you walk into a Thai, Vietnamese or Chinese shop/restaurant as well. It’s NOT a bad smell at all. Don’t get me wrong, I love the smell of incense as many others do, but IMO, I wouldn’t want to wear it on the daily. I like the smell, but I’m leaning more towards Neroli as a daily scent.

I know there are many types of incense scents, but Akuto just reminded me of the smell. I know this because being part Chinese, I’ve spent quite some time around this type of scent. Oh, and I love going to China town :slight_smile:. But hey, maybe it has some properties that incense does, such as repelling mosquitoes? Anyone know what it’s made of? Haha. I’ll report on that at a later time. (Since I live in such a humid and wet area, I hate tons of mosquitoes during this time. No joke!)

Anyways, others on this forum says it smells..spicy. This is somewhat true, as it tickles your nose in a way you have never imagined! Kidding, but it really has a distinct smell that smells somewhat like a spice, but not too offensive. It’s easy on the nose. Surprisingly, at one spray of 20%, the scent it still light..however, you can only imagine how it smells when you start layering 6x!

Again, this is only my opinion. For those of you who are Akuto fanatics, please share! It would be greatly appreciated. :wink:

I have gotten a lot of compliments on the akuto scent. However more on FF21.

Ahh, I still have yet to let others smell it on me. Hopefully people will like it. I’m in Hawaii so people are really familiar with the smell (because of the amount of asians). Also, my friend had FF21, and I have MX390. It smells really fresh!

Oh and strangely enough, the combination of the Akuto and Ammo with FF21 got a lot of compliments too. Not until recently did I have ammo and IO in akuto.

Seems like an interesting match! Did you layer it on the same spot or different? I ordered Akuto because people said it had some aura inducing properties to it lol. I thought that would be effective for affecting others. What is your take on the diffusion w/ Akuto Ammo and IO?

The aura effect is actually in reference to its diffusion effect. Akuto is known to create an diffusion aura whereas FF21 if I recall correctly is more of a trail. So Akuto works best in closer quarters when your targets are nearby.

I love the Akuto scent. In one experience, I was at my place of employment getting some groceries and one of the young girls there 21 years old kept walking by me, she finally said it was to get a smell of me over and over again.
In that same time span, a regular customer of mine kept coming back as well to ask me about the scent. She’s a beautiful woman, but much older than I in her 60’s, a reall looker at that age, simply fucking gorgeous when she was younger.

Anyway, my point being, is it seemed true that they had to keep coming back to me and being within 3-6 feet to get the effect, which seems like a lot of distance. However, with some regular colognes and ammo, I’ve been as far away as 10+ feet and still got responses.

Akuto is DA BOMB, perfect scent for winter IMO. Personally Its my favorite but I must concur with The Gentleman and say Iv had more compliments when using ff21 although Im not sure if this is because ff21 seems to have a larger range and lingers around much more then akuto. I think Gormas had a good point when he told me that Akuto smells more serious and masculine because for some strange reason I cant bring myself to have any of my socials in it, there is just somthing about the scent that does’nt fit right with them for me, maybe IH but definatley not IS or IO.

Hmm..Interesting ghost. At my place it’s always hot, so I think that it may be better in winter as well in other areas (I think that’s why it makes me think of incense because of the temp here idk.) However, I seem to like Akuto when it’s been on for a while..like when the smell isn’t as strong but still remains. However, I actually like Akuto more than FF21 for some reason, but F21 must be real convenient for having some range.

But yeah, Akuto is definitely masculine!
