perfume - fragancia - fragance - parfum - parfumu: Ecko by Marc Eck

1020091730a.jpg

Futuristic packaging. You’ll see as I open this further a house of mirrors/reflection/mirror theme going on with the bottle and box. This is a cologne made for the confident man, sure of himself and his future, and who likes to look at it head on. And inside:

Also included with the cologne was a CD package. what was on it wasn’t explained on the cover or inside but after popping it in I found it to have some cool stuff:

…like this behind the scenes video with Marc Ecko, explaining his vision for his first cologne:

The video really touched on some important things to know about this fragrance, so let’s get into the review!

“Marc Ecko electrifies with sparks of icy cool notes of Spice and Citrus. Chilled Ginger, infused with White Grapefruit, creates a remix of icy elegance and a cool, charming swagger…

while a breath of Absinthe softens the bite with its warm sensuality and hallucinatory allure. Crisp masculine hints of White Incense and Energized Musk ground agile whispers of Cool, Green Violet leaves, mellowing the intensity and leaving an essence of cool confidence on the skin.

…Subtle, yet bold. Futuristic, but simple. ECKO by Marc Ecko is for the man ready to defy convention, intrigued with exploring new boundaries and open to a world of unlimited possibility.”

To be frank, this stuff smells amazing. I had an interview today, so I wore it just to see what would happen. I could swear the really hot assistant called me over and gave a goodbye squeeze on my shoulder because…of my charm? Eh, maybe. I just think she liked the Ecko cologne. ;)

After smelling this for the past couple of days and studying it, my nose is getting better at picking up notes in general. On one whiff, the three notes I picked up the strongest were Mint, Ginger, and Grapefruit.

This is what you wear to those meetings where you close the deal, then go out for a beer with the homies to celebrate. This is NOT a formal cologne, and if you wear it to anything like a black tie affair, anyone with a sense of cologne etiquette will wonder what the hell you were thinking. Ok maybe one COULD pull it off, but with so many other colognes out there to choose from, it wouldn’t make sense. The cologne wouldn’t match the mood, which is important when pairing a cologne for an outing.

You can also wear this on a date with no problem; it screams attention. This is also a good cologne for wearing after working out at the gym also…just hope not many other fellas are wearing this cologne as well. This cologne was made to celebrate movement and forward thinking. Wear accordingly. If you do so, the ladies will wonder in all the best ways possible, “what’s he wearing”?

Just have the breath mints ready, aight?
