Impact
by Tommy Hilfiger
Tommy Hilfiger Impact presents a woody-fruity scent with a distinct citrusy opening that evolves into a sweet, resinous, and slightly smoky woody base. It captures a modern masculine feel with a creamy, slightly incense-like drydown, influenced by Akigalawood and amber. The fragrance is neither entirely fresh nor aggressively bold, leaning instead toward a comforting, aromatic-woody character similar to Hugo Boss Bottled, though with added sweetness and depth. Performance is moderate, with average longevity and a sillage that remains close to the skin—enough to be noticeable in personal space but not powerful in spaces. Its ability to project well is inconsistent, with many noting it feels intimate rather than assertive. The composing notes appear to align with a top-to-base consistency, leading to impressions of a layered, seamless progression rather than sharp shifts. Despite being marketed as a fresh, summery option, the scent works best in spring and autumn. Some find the opening faintly peppery or synthetic, while others appreciate its balance, varied projections, and understated elegance. A key characteristic is its versatility across seasons and settings, although it does not stand out as unique or exceptionally distinctive.
