Too strong for me

Power Ballad is not an offensive scent, but it does take me back to when the priest gets a little agressive with the incense at Mass. Definitely an intense scent that lingers. Not my favorite, but probably great if you like really masculine fragrances.

Not my kind of scent. Gave me a headache and left me feeling stinky.

I like these mysterious earthy scents.

Not my jam

This was exactly what I wanted for my Christmas/winter scent! It’s very strong at first, but it settles beautifully!

Girlfriend loves it.

It took me a bit to get use to it, it has a lot of personality. I like it.

The notes just do not blend well! It’s very stinky, for lack of better word to use! It’s not really fruity floral nothing but alcohol and herbs! Good thing is it doesn’t linger long lol I do not recommend this scent

I enjoy the smell but it is definitely not best thing ever

This smells like an herbal mouthwash with a strong alcohol smell.

Definitely not a delicate scent but it is different, even from other woodsy scents that I have. Every time my attention is caught by it it feels interesting.

Sweet, sweaty, booze-soaked, can't get it out of your head (or nose). This scent is really intoxicating, and is one of the more unique fragrances I've gotten after two full years of subscribing. If you don't like cumin, though, skip it. But damn, it's great.

Ugh! What can I say about this! It is one of my favorite fragrances! It is unique, and personal to everyone who wears it. Like some other people have said it smells a little boozy, which I like! But a refined booze. it makes me feel like hanging out with the rock band and listening to loud music. I think it makes a statement without being overwhelming.

I really like this scent, it's crisp, fun, and very modern. It's different than most other scents with similar notes. It is a bit boozy though, even after the draw-down. Like gin, but there isn't any juniper in it, so I'm not sure where that comes from in the mix. I like gin, so I like it.

Definitely interesting. Wasn't sure if I liked it at first, but I decided I do. The scent is hard to explain, which I guess would make it complex? It's definitely worth trying.

Not a fan of this at all. Very woody.

A little heavy and smells like something my grandmother would wear. Not really my style.

I'm sorry, but I really don't understand how anyone would like this scent. It smells like a tree mixed with body odor. Definitely will not be wearing that again!

Love this scent!! It is strong, but in a grown and sexy way.

This has a very grown and sexy vibe. I like it alot!

Not the best scent very aggressive and strong scent. I am not a fan. I try it on her and there thinking iyer may grow on me, but I seem to dislike it more...nn

Was kind of a mixture of scents flower an sweet

And I almost skipped this fragrance based on some reviews. I'm glad I did not. It's a bold/strong scent that, for me, strikes the perfect balance between something spicy/warm and something fresh. I've read some people describe it as masculine but I think it's quite feminine - sexy, powerful but also somehow sweet. I'd give it a B-/C+ for lasting power.

Realll good

This is one of my new favorties.

The scent was definitely not strong enough and didn't last all day.

Love the fresh warmth and nostalgia power ballad brings!! Fresh energy for daytime wear but cozy enough for the first crisp fall nights with him!! Gotta reccomend for late fall evenings! Totally reminds me of high school but totally trendy with the woman i am 20years after!!!

This is nice. Citrusy ans spicy, a great everyday scent. BUT you have to reapply often as it leaves pretty quick quickly.

When looking at the key notes in this fragrance, I thought it would be subtle sweet like smell, but it has a strong distinct taste. It almost smells like cloves. Not my favorite scent so far, but I definitely like sweeter smells.

Beautiful fragrance.

Very interesting smell...if spicy is what you are going for, then this one is perfect for you!

Smells like Men’s bodywash

Too strong, and very masculine. Is it a perfume or a cologne?

It's spicy and citrusy and at first it smells like two seperate perfumes to me which I really didn't like. After I wear it for a few minutes it smells more like a single complex perfume. It has really grown on me and I'm glad I gave it a chance after that initial sniff.

I am pleasantly surprised by Power Ballad! The top notes of bergamot, lime and grapefruit have lasted over 7 hours on my skin so far today. I'm surprised that the heavier, spicy and wood notes are NOT as prominent as I thought they'd be...but I'm happy with the bright and crisp citrus lasting this long. Sillage is very minimal with the one spray on each wrist, but that's really how I prefer to wear scent at work: light and unobstrusive. This is a scent that needs to refreshed in the middle of the day. I am happy to discover this perfume and will definitely check out others from Room 1015!

I really like this fragrance. it's got a outdoor, woodsy tone to it, but not in a bad way. I don't like the sweet scents, and this one does not seem sweet at all. Has a spiciness to it as well.

The bergamot was a lot stronger than I expected, for a very herbaceous smell. It is not masculine, but not feminine. Not unpleasant, as others have said, but it doesn't exactly make me feel awesome and "power"-ful as well. I would definitely suggest shaking the scent, as one wrist was strongly bergamot and the other softly citrus-y. The second scent was pleasant enough, but it is not strong. All-in-all I like it. But I think it needs to be shaken, and used SPARINGLY. I feel that if one tried to make this very power-less scent more strong, you would regret it. Let it be a soft ballad.

It initially hits with all notes sounding off....then, just like an amazing ballad...it blends perfectly together, takes you to an amazing high and lingers there. It's just an awesome trip thru your senses. Definitely suggest this for anyone who adores power house scents that take you into a really great place...

It honestly reminds me of incense and weed. Like listening to rock & roll with flowers in my hair, blunt in one hand and a peace sign in the other.

I'm not into heavy floral and was looking for a more "androgynous" smell that wasn't too heavily musky. This is it for me. Spicy, woody, lasting and not overpowering. it s really pleasant and warm worth a shot as the fall and winter near.

This was one of my favorite scents. It lasted long on me and I got a lot of compliments on it, very woodsy, spicy, zesty and very slight musk/powder tone. At first, I didn't think I would like it and once I put it on it grew on me and I love it.

I had high hopes for this as I have several of their other fragrances and I love them. This is all ballad and no power. It's really weak and doesn't last very long. The scent is OK. Meh!

I think this scent would be great on someone else, but it didn't really work on me. I typically love spicy/woodsy scents, but this one fell flat for me.

Smells very manly. Not a fan at all.

I wasn't overly impressed with this scent. However it is very masculine and not unpleasant to smell just not what I would buy in a store.

Everyone is giving me a wide berth today. This did not react well to my body chemistry. It was okay right after I put it on, but now a couple hours later, the scent has changed and is very heavy. It is chemical, powdery and floral. I get none of the more woodsy and spicy notes it is supposed to have.

I like it. Smell nice!

Really strong when you first put it on but the scent calms down a few minutes later

I love this fragrance, it is exactly what I expected it to be. I do not like floral or sweet fragrances, I am more of a woodsy and spicy person. For me woodsy does not read "men only". The cedar comes out the most for me, but I can also find the cumin and grapefruit notes. I love the clean earthy feel of Power Ballad.

Does not smell remotely like anything good.

I usually shy away from Unisex Colognes as they almost always land on the sweet or"Fresh" side of colognes. I have been trying to find something to replace Must De Cartier Homme, while this is not THAT cologne, it hits close to home. It def a fall/night time fragrance, the mint, citrus and wood notes combine to give this an almost Ginger fragrance. Warm, citrusy and woodsy with a hint of sweet and spice. Def not for everyone, but I like it.

My full queque was not available so I have no way of verifying as to whether or not this was an item I selected it. Although I am drawn to its components I sm not a fan of the overall scent very disappointed

This scent seemed too musty out of the bottle, but on the skin it's more woodsy with a hint of sweetness. Not my favorite, but not quite as bad as other reviews have let on.

Did not like this smell at all! VERY VERY strong scent to it. Didn’t really smell any of the citrus in it

This perfume is definitely unisex, which I like. It's quite a bit masculine, but not overly so. It is very strong, and the initial scent of it is just a little to sharp to be put directly on my skin (I have a really hard time finding perfumes that mix with my body chemistry), but smells lovely sprayed on my clothes. One spray will do it, as the scent is pretty potent.

I wasnt too fond of this scent on me, it was way more reminiscent of a teenage boys cologne I would have smelled in high school, but it was better on the boyfriend. I wouldn't say it is unisex.

I did not care for this scent

I enjoys the way it smelled in my body

The description caught my attention but it was a bit too musky for my taste. The only way I can describe the smell was "funky". If you're into that, this is perfect for you.

Did not like at all

I’m sorry but this was the first fragrance that was sent to me when I subscribed to Scentbird. I had no idea how it smelled I simply took a chance on it because the bottle caught my eye, needless to say once I received it I was highly disappointed 😞. I emediatly unscrewed the cap and poured it down the drain, I would not recommend this fragrance to anyone. Please do not buy!!!! If you do your going to be pissed once it arrives😠~. I now know to only pick scents that have 4 stars or better!

was not what i expected did not like scent at all

Not gender neutral at all but smells great on men. Very strong though

It is too manly for me. It's very earthy, woody and masculine.

This perfume is very unique, but I find that it's just a too woody for me. It starts out bright and fresh on the first spray but then it quickly turns to a sharp woody fragrance. It could definitely be a unisex fragrance but I find it works better as a men's cologne.

A nice scent, although a soft one. To me, it's a typical soft pencil shaving fragrance with some vetiver - kinda like the smell of clean new paper. I get no citrus notes whatsoever, even though I was hoping for some grapefruit (one of my favorite notes). A slight floral quality shows up after dry down. At least it has a decent longevity - even after several hours (8-10), it is still perceptible as a skin scent and on my shirt.

They really need to quit making these unisex scents they are hit and miss this one i like its more a men's scent rather then a woman's

Not bad but not that good. Dont get too much mint in this which i think would have given this fragrance more life.

OMG Love tequila so I love this perfume

I didn't like this scent. It smelled like something an old lady would wear. Worst scent I've received so far.

Smells ok. Not a big fan of the mint. I would wear once in a while

It smells good, sometimes a little manly which i like. Then occasionally i'll get a whiff and i hate it.

It has a very unique scent. When you first put it on, the first thing you notice is the smell of cedar. As it dries you don't notice it as much. It calms down and has a smell that just settles into a pleasent aroma.

Not a good scent. Too strong and masculine.

Did not like this scent at all.. it was very masculine and woody. Not a fan!

This is the second order I’ve received from Scentbird and I think I’m done. This doesn’t smell at all like the description. It gives me a headache.

Worst scent ever!! Should be removed from any que.

Not a fan AT ALL. Terrible scent.

The worst.

I love this scent. I love fruity and sweet smelling scents,so I was quite surprised I would like this scent.My mother and sister smelled it and did not like the smell. It is unisex men or women can enjoy this scent.

This was AWFUL!!!! I did not like it at all. Its musty but not a good musty like a moldly musty. PLEASE AVOID!!!!

It smells a little bit like old wood and gives me a constant headache all day while i wear it

For me, this perfume was spot on. Light, no floral scent. Had a touch of masculinity but still feminine. I think the citrus with mint was the homerun

I appreciated the fresh & strong floral notes but found it a little overly feminine for my personal taste. I would consider this more of a springy day to night perfume; however, it does lack some in staying power & needs to be reapplied often. Overall, I would say this one is worth a try!

I prefer Electric Wood over Power Ballard but both fabulous fragrances and wish you had the full size bottles available for purchase.

I wasn’t at all happy with this fragrance. It is unisex but smelled more for a male. I gave it to my husband.

At first spritz, i wasn't so sure. Now that it has sat a little... it's not bad at all:) kinda earthy with a hint of flower in my opinion. Still clean too.

This has been my favorite so far. Such a different sent. Noticeable but never overbearing.

Definite 80's vibe to this bold, strong scent. Powerful indeed.

Quite strong and not appealing to me.

This just stinks. Plain and simple. My husband told me to throw it away before I even put it on.

I really loved this scent. It’s bold and woody and a refreshing break from all the sweet stuff currently out there. I’ll gladly wear this again and again.

I really enjoy this scent. The woody aspect lends it more towards a masculine scent but it has a sweetness that I thoroughly enjoy wearing as a woman.

I loved it the way they smelled on me but it only lasts for like 30 minutes.

I was not impressed at all. This scent was way to strong and nauseating. Not a scent I want to ever wear or even be next to.

I cant imagine any woman wanting to smell like this. The main notes in the pictures are really far off from the actual scent. The written description is much closer. This a strong cedar scent and there is not much more to it.

This was just WAY to STRONG for me. I think it would work best for a male.

A little stronger than I like.

I love strong scents. I am a woman who never want to smell light or like flowers. This was too strong for me which shocked me. It is unisex but I feel like no woman would enjoy how smoky it is. I gave it to my son who's 22. He said he would spray it in his car :(

I loved this. Cumin is my jam, and this delivered. It is very sexy, projects well, and has great longevity.

loved it

I absolutely did not enjoy this fragrance. I thought I'd selected a man's fragrance by mistake. It reminds me of a man, and OLD man and I am definitely not happy with this scent.

Howdy folks, from The DFW Metroplex, TX. First impressions are a bit in your face, strong on the black pepper side but, (First a Warning) if you have an empty stomach while you’re rushing to get ready for work and just finished brushing your teeth and then sprayed this in particular fragrance on yourself yourself, you might get a little nauseous just because it’s a bit overwhelming so I highly implore you to treat yourself to a really tall steaming stack of pancakes first! LOL!!!

The scent kind of changes every time I put it on. Overall, I like it a lot. I just wish it lasted longer. I find myself having to reapply it throughout the day.

As a fan of a good power ballad, I wanted to love this one, but it just wasn’t a hit for me. I hadn’t read reviews prior, it was the name that sang out. I see where members have mentioned it smelled musky in them - I didn’t detect that on me. I envisioned some musky/rosemary/citrus/boozy concoction, but got a leathery/cedar scent that reminded me more of opening a chest of old clothes in my grandmothers attic. It didn’t stay with me long - about an hour later I could barely detect it. I gave it a second try a few days later, but still can’t get into it. I guess with it’s name, it could have smelled like stale beer, sweat & weed - which might have even helped. My least favorite in over of two years of Scentbird sampling.

Was a very musky fragrance! Smell good but is not for me!

I absolutely hate it! Too musky and smells like a man. Gave it to my son.

This is my new favorite scent. It’s definitely more toward the masculine side of unisex but I think Iit smells amazing on my skin. I may have to buy a full size of this for the season. For me I think it’s a wonderful fall fragrance. I prefer lighter more floral for the hotter months.

I did not like this scent in the bottle but it transforms on my skin! It's got this peppery/spicy note that just works on me. I love this and would definitely buy a whole bottle for myself. I think it works in all seasons and all circumstances. It's sexy for going out but light enough for the office. Love it but I love another one more so it doesn't get the full 5 hearts
