Born Original for Him

Born Original for Him by Adidas delivers a sweet, barbershop-inspired fragrance with a surprising versatility for its price point. It features a prominent lavender and rhubarb opening, blending into a warm, woody base of cashmere wood, cedar, and sandalwood, with subtle fruity and spicy notes. The scent balances freshness with a creamy sweetness, resembling a softened, less intense version of Paco Rabanne or Invictus, with a distinct barbershop vibe that some compare to Abercrombie & Fitch or YSL L'Homme. The longevity is moderate to strong in most cases despite the fragrance being described as weak by some, and it projects well enough without being overwhelming. It suits cooler weather and moderate climates, with users noting it's less suited for extremely hot days due to its sweetness. The bottle, while unconventional in shape, is often described as affordable and available, which adds to the appeal. Many users report enjoying it more than expected, especially as a budget-friendly alternative to higher-end fragrances with similar profiles. It's particularly ideal for those seeking a gentle, sweet masculine scent with smooth projection and bearable longevity.
