It has a sexiness that the original lacks. It has great projection and solid longevity, lasting 8 to 12 hours.ĭiesel Fuel for Life Spirit has the same foundation as the original Diesel Fuel cologne, but it’s more intensely masculine and mysterious. As with everything Diesel makes, this is definitely geared towards a young crowd and suits someone in high school or college. It’s best for a casual night out and suits mild fall and spring weather perfectly. The bottle itself is clear with an embossed Diesel logo and a gold cap.Įven though Diesel cologne Fuel for Life is a simple, linear scent, it’s still got a uniqueness that makes it different from other similar colognes such as Tommy or Narciso Rodriguez. A zipper down the right side allows you to remove the bottle from its pouch. The bottle comes in a leather pouch with stitching up the sides. Its base has woodsy notes and heliotrope. The heart has notes of lavender and raspberry that give the scent a lovely sweetness. However, the citrus in the opening smells much more of lemon than of grapefruit. The fragrance has top notes of grapefruit and anise. I also got hints of soft spiciness and fruitiness. The note of raspberry is really the star of the show, remaining dominant throughout the life of the scent. If you like sweeter smells, there’s a good chance you’ll love it.

This is a polarizing scent – if you’re not into sweetness, you’re likely to find it overbearing and off-putting.

This is an aromatic fougere fragrance and, unlike other sweet scents where the sweetness fades with the dry down, this scent stays sweet all the way through. The brand had been out of the men’s fragrance game for a while, and got back in with the 2007 launch of this scent. Fuel for Life was a comeback for Diesel cologne.
