[I:http://iblogndax.vdhdesigns.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/EvelynBodhi5.jpg] In 2008, the cologne Adidas Fair Play for men was launched by the designer Adidas. The perfumer behind this creation was unknown.

This Adidas Cologne is available in the eau de toilette concentration. Fragrances generally come in one of four types of concentrations: eau de cologne, eau de toilette, eau de parfum, and parfum. Eau de cologne is made up of about 2% to 5% perfume oil; eau de toilette, about 4% to 15% perfume oil; eau de parfum, about 10% to 20% perfume oil; and parfum, about 15% to 25% perfume oil. Therefore, the percentage of perfume oil in Adidas Fair Play Cologne is 4% to 15%.

All perfumes and colognes can be classified into one of fourteen different Families according to the Fragrance Wheel. The Fragrance Wheel is a classification system, which was created by Michael Edwards in 1983. This Adidas Fragrance is a member of the Water Family. What separates this Family from the others is its more distinctive use of Marine and Aquatic notes.

Water Family is further subdivided into four separate categories. These categories are Fresh, Crisp, Classical, and Rich. These categories are all distinctly Water, however the fragrance notes get richer and deeper as you go from Fresh to Crisp to Classical to Rich. This Adidas Cologne for Men belongs to the Crisp subdivision.

Each perfume and cologne goes through three different phases described as Top, Middle, and Base Notes. These phases are due to the different evaporation rates of all the Fragrance Notes within the perfume’s or cologne’s composition. Therefore, during the life of Adidas Fair Play, certain phases will have a slightly different scent depending on which fragrance notes are still present, and which ones have already evaporated.

Top Notes are light, volatile and evaporate quickly. They are a fragrance’s initial impression and last around 10 to 20 minutes. The Top Notes for thisAdidas Cologne are Aqueous, Ozonic Accord, Green Notes, Aldehydes, Grapes, and Citrus Accords.

Middle Notes emerge when the Top Notes dissipate. Middle Notes are known for being the key scent for a perfume. Cardamom, Lavender, and Violet Leaves are the Middle Notes for the perfume this Adidas Fragrance.

The scent that emerges once the Middle Notes start to fade is called Base Notes. They give the fragrance its holding power by helping to slow down the stages of evaporation of the lighter notes. The Base Notes for this Adidas Cologne for Men include Amber, Teak, Patchouli, and Musk.

Here are some suggestions of other fragrances you may like that are in the Water Family just as Adidas Fair Play: Love from New York, Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue by Dolce & Gabbana, Just Me by Paris Hilton, Jaguar Fresh by Jaguar, and Erolfa by Creed.
