From the black and white retro but slightly futuristic Diesel ads to the lace netting on the slightly flask-shaped bottle, I was definitely intrigued with the fragrance. It turns out it’s pretty and a little bit naughty, (which is exactly what their ads are trying to get across).

I actually didn’t quite know what to expect before my first spritz, as I am usually not impressed by many mainstream fragrances. However, I was pleasantly surprised that this was a fruity oriental, with rich ambery woodsy notes of an oriental, and the sweet notes of honeyed jasmine, and fruitiness provided by raspberry, mandarin, and blackcurrant. I actually love black currant (jams, cookies and even liqueur), but not every company has been able to capture it properly. Diesel has done it very well however.

All together Fuel for Life a pretty and feminine composition and the dry down is gingery and sweetly spicy from the patchouli and pink pepper. When it dries down it gets a little softer and a nice sweet soapy scent comes out. The floral notes are warm and very natural, like a garden in springtime.

Fuel for Life is a warm, soft scent, a pleasant mixture of fruity and woody. The lasting power is also superb. This is a really pretty perfume. It's going to make a nice winter scent for me this year. It has also been a lovely going out/night fragrance.
