Question:
I was looking around at frags today, and in one place saw a box labeled "Cumming." No tester... but my curiosity was piqued. Is this serious? A marketing ploy?
Does anybody know about it? I hope it doesn't smell like... well, lets just say, somewhere between Jicky and Jazz...
Seriously though, anybody got anything on this one?

Answer:
A number of people here own or have tried this fragrance and in general it has gotten very good reviews.
It's one of the few "celebrity" frags that stands by itself as a real fragrance.
It's predominent note seems to be "birch," with lots of spices in the mix.
Do a google search on "Cumming the fragrance" and you'll get more information than you'll ever need, particularly if you see the video.
Alan Cumming is an actor, btw...I wasn't sure from your post if you knew that.

Answer:
I guess I didn't know that, and I guess my mind was in the wrong place... Sorry. I'll check the way you suggested.
Thanks!

Answer:
This stuff is MAGICAL...No sh!+
The scent that eminates from my skin is sublime...
the first 5 minutes is the only questionable part of this scent for me....
The next 10 hrs are remarkable...I love it, my wife loves it...WIN, WIN BABY!
My vote for most underrated under-mentioned scent.
I'll be trying out the lotion and body wash later tonight.
But I can only guess that I'll be smelling GOOD tonight!

Answer:
it's not for everyone... it's a little "out there" this is definitely a try before you buy scent. I sort of reviewed it in a post called "cumming is cunning" I now find it definitely more wearable than I did at first but still haven't actually worn it in public, but I plan to!

Answer:
The first time I smelled this (in Sephora) I wanted to scrub it off immediately...I found it horrible.
Now I want to re-smell it, to see if it smells better to me...

Answer:
It may not be for everyone but I think a lot of people get "put-off" in the first 5-10 mins with any scent they try...Man, the way this reacts with my skin chemistry is awesome...my wife told me 3-4 times how much she liked this last night at a small party we went to....she actually said that some of the other women at the party asked her what I was wearing....she was to embarrassed to say though...HAHA. She just said, "something new, I don't know the name."

Answer:
I've had and used Cumming (a fragrance by the actor Alan Cumming) for a little over a year now. It was done by Perfumer: Christopher Brosius who has his own line of fragrances called "CB I Hate Perfume". As you would expect from someone who calls their line of fragrances "CB I Hate Perfume" he is a bit experimental and Cumming is very definitely that and as such not it is not for everyone. I've found that when first applied (the first 10 or 15 minutes) it can smell a bit funky but if you approach it with an open mind once you get past that it really is exceptional and one of the favorites of my collection. It received the Best Celebrity Men's Fragrance in this year's Basenotes competition.

Answer:
I wore cumming for reals today for the first time. It's so nice! Eventually it settles down to become a nostalgic scent. As I mentioned I found in my researches that it does smell a lot like some "old school" foot powder, applied to a foot, one belonging to a person who was wearing foot powder cause his feet tend to sweat a lot. In the end it has very much a gym/locker room feel to it, in this way it's similar in my head to Obsession, which always reminds me of a judo instructor I had when I was 7 or 8. Being water based the longevity could be better of course but it gives enough hours of pleasure. I was surprised at how easy it is to wear, even with dirt notes, and it's quite masculine. Or else for a girl jock. Rupert Everett claims women superstars have male body odor notes/accords in their sweat, incidentally. Am finishing his hilarious autobiography right now.

Answer:
I have to reiterate: this stuff is so brilliant. The opening is such a shocker, it's so original, beguiling, yet in the end it is just very seductive and wearable after consderable evolution. A real adventure that goes from avant garde to nostalgic. Yesterday I wore SMN gold musk during the day and cumming at night and what a stud I felt like. Really for $55 it's a must. You never see used bottles of it offered and it's no wonder.
How funny that I first got this as a gift when someone offered to buy me something thinking what a great idea to ask for cumming since I would never get it for myself. And when I got it at first I thought I would never wear it. It has definitely muscled its way way up on my list after giving it a good go a couple of times.
