by Diesel
Fuel for Life Femme by Diesel is a bold, confrontational scent that divides opinion. It opens with an explosive burst of sweet, citrusy fruit and spicy pink pepper, creating a highly distinctive and instantly noticeable impression. Over time, this sharpness mellows into a rich, warm core of patchouli, vetiver, and resinous woods, with a soft musky undercurrent. The fragrance is exceptionally long-lasting, with many reporting a 12-hour or more performance, and its sillage is pronounced without being overwhelming—suitable for evening wear and days when you want to stand out. It's not subtle or delicate; instead, it's an energetic, provocative statement. Many users find its intensity overwhelming, noting potential for headaches or a synthetic, gasoline-like aroma in the top notes, particularly if overdosed. However, others appreciate this boldness, describing it as uniquely sexy, confident, and empowering—ideal for those wanting a strong personality in perfume. Some find it lacks depth, fading quickly into a faint musk or a slightly bitter-burnt drydown, while others praise its layered evolution and emotional impact.
