Since 1978, Diesel S.p.A. has been a popular design company creating clothing and accessories for the young of age and heart. Located in Molvena (northern Italy), it is owned by famed creator Renzo Rosso, and along with its fragrance line L'Oreal has released Diesel Fuel for Life perfume with two key scents: the for-him and the for-her lines. Two years since the Fuel for Life campaign began, Diesel perfume has grown in popularity and reputation, thanks in part to a successful international push in 1996 that brought the Diesel brands to America. With availability wider than ever before, it is much easier to find Diesel items and see what the fuss is about. The Diesel perfume lines are a great place to start. Pour FemmePatchouli is the order of the day for this fragrance, and that can either be make-or-break depending on your tolerance levels as it is the dominant essence of the Fuel for Life Pour Femme line. An herb of the mint family, patchouli is primarily harvested in Caribbean countries as well as China and India, to name a few. Reminiscent of L'Inspiratrice with a heavy mint aroma, Fuel for Life capitalizes where the other comes up short. There is a surprisingly sour opening, followed by a fruity tinge. After the top notes settle, jasmine kicks in but is careful to pull its punches in the midst of the dominant aroma. These two notes blend ever so effectively to produce a concoction well worth the wear. But that is not all. You also get a pinch of green leaf, which gradually takes over for the remaining mint in the closing moments of the scent. It all descends into a dry, fresh closing that ends the journey on a wonderful note. Pour HommePour Homme is a striking scent that mixes playfulness with the ruggedly masculine. As with the display of patchouli in the Pour Femme line, this is an aroma that understands the value of moderation. From the top to the bottom notes, Fuel for Life utilizes aniseed and immortelle, respectively. All the while it avoids what can only be described as the licorice effect, offering instead a blend of candy and salt in what is a wondrous beginning for the notes to come. And what notes they are!Pour Homme finishes with an earthy scent, wood-smoked and all-natural with a dash of khus here, and a bit of lavender there. A surprising note of raspberry also shows up along the way, and while it may seem out of place on paper, it really turns the mixture into something memorable, alluring, and uniquely male in tone and flavor. Both lines of Diesel perfume take chances with their fragrant blend of notes, and while it may not appeal to the traditional wearer of perfumes and colognes, it accomplishes the company's primary purpose, which is essentially to appeal to the young adult crowd. It is a youthful attitude for a youthful generation, and this truth is what really comes out in these melodies of scent.
