The drydown smells like true love

10/10

These reviews are completely insane (and hilarious). That said, I bought this for my husband who is rather ambivalent about fragrance usually, but he nearly finished the bottle this summer. The coconut in it is truly divine, and this overall is just very fresh and summer appropriate. It's also getting harder to find so snap it up if you happen across it.

I was strolling through Bloomingdale’s this morning, doing some furniture shopping. I wasn’t anywhere near the fragrance section of the store, yet I suddenly got a whiff of the most heavenly fragrance I’d ever encountered. I looked around to see where it was coming from, and the only person nearby was this very elegant older woman. She looked incredibly rich and was dressed up in designer clothes. I felt nervous asking what she was wearing, and besides, I assumed that whatever it was would be WAY out of my price range anyway. But I simply had to know! So I walked up to her and asked, “excuse me, I’m sorry to bother you, but you smell divine. What are you wearing?” She slowly removed her sunglasses and looked me dead in the eye before whispering, “it’s Gary.” “Gary?” I asked. And then she walked away, very hastily, as if she’d just disclosed some kind of dark secret to me. I was astonished when I looked up Gary online and discovered that I could buy it from Walmart for $11. I will be heading there tomorrow to purchase this.

This is the best perfume of all time. It's niche quality.

These reviews are hilarious and I have been thoroughly entertained. I happen to have a serious review of this one. It's actually quite lovely. It smells like it was intended...the beach. Faintly floral with a touch of something tropical in the air, the sand, the water. I love wearing it in the summer. I originally bought it out of curiosity and my young son asked to have it. I let him have it as his first fragrance, however I end up asking to borrow it lol. We both love it. Easily for anyone and any age.

Holy shit. I managed to get an old batch from the deep web. Super hard to find. When i first sprayed it on my wrist and smelled it, it felt like God himself greeted me with a gentle kiss on my nose and I could feel the pearly gates open for me to enter. Gary had blessed me with wisdom far beyond human comprehension. A deeper glimpse into a fragrance so complex most people would have trouble understanding the true meaning behind it. I have locked the bottle up in a super high security container and will keep it forever safe. In Gary we trust. Amen.

This has to be a joke 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Probably better than Nautica Voyage

Best Blue de Chanel flanker so far

This smells bad and the ravings are because it is a meme. My last critical comment got removed from the downvotes. I'll keep posting this because I wish it was here before I bought it, so I didn't waste my money.

So this is what Mr.Krab wears on his business meeting? interesting

Oh, Gary, I can't believe L'Oreal stole your magic, and propel it in all designer perfume houses they own. I was so sad to discover that now millions will smell like you, and you were the best kept secret in fragheads circles. This is really not fair, they kidnapped you and threw your sublime essence in just each and every designer bottle around, botched, watered-down and downplayed to max. Alien Goddess Intense, Prada Paradox, Angel Elixir and all diluted impostors will never be you!

Ok I admit it, I bought this because of these ridiculous, hilarious, positive reviews. I figured it was only a few bucks and might get a laugh as a joke gift. I can’t compare it to Creed because I’ve not experienced it, but this surely does not smell like BR 540 at all to me. Surprisingly nice though, I’d say a successful blind buy. I expected very little for under $10 US. I spritzed a bit on the back of my hand today when I opened it, I have since showered and still it lingers. Fine with me, I quite like it. It’s not a sweet coconut, kind of a dry one like a toasted coconut over an airy woodiness. Totally masculine in my opinion, I definitely wouldn’t wear it personally, but I have a feeling my hubs will like it very much when the spring arrives.

I bought this because of the crazy reviews. I am SHOCKED by the strength of this. What is in here? Lord. Okay it's a warm coconut smell like coconut flakes that are browned on top of a vanilla coconut cake. So that and then there's a woody base. If you want to smell like a less sweet woody coconut cake (the frozen kind, that's been in there a while) then this is for you! Actually it smells a lot like taking an old frozen coconut cake out of the freezer. Something cool about it even though it is a warm scent. I feel satisfied and now will try to sell it. Why this was in the Bond no 9 Greenwich Village "reminds me of" I have no idea. It does slightly remind me of Cloud though without the BR540 aspect. It will last until next year. I sprayed it on a pillow case and have washed it TWICE and can still smell it a bit.

I love this for a summer fragrance! It's a very different take on a coconut fragrance and it's all because of the driftwood. You can definitely smell it, which is what makes this so unique and good. I highly recommend this one for a new coconut vibe that's not sweet but very good.

too good.

He invigorates the room like sunshine hitting the darkest corners of earth. His leather shoes glisten beneath creamy silk pants. A playful silk tie pops from behind a Versace blazer. A Rolex dangles from his wrist as he swooshes a hand through lustrous hair. Heads turn, eyes dart. The room, like the world, is putty in his hands. Little do they know that he still has the ace up his sleeve.

Within moments, the aroma circulates. Rich black currant captivates the room, letting them know that he is in charge. Sicilian rose conveys that he is a man of fairness (but not humbleness); do not mistake his kindness for naivety . French oak moss blends with German clove, authenticating his international mystique. The already tranquil room grows more still.

"What is that otherwordly scent?" they all silently wonder.

"Gary," the man answers aloud. "By SpongeBob SquarePants."

"Gary" is not for everyone. Purchasing this scent with the simplistic goal of "smelling good" is like buying a Picasso to decorate your wood shed. "Gary" is a full-body experience, electrifying the senses in ways previously undiscovered in the realm of fragrance. It is sharp and bold, yet sweet and inviting. It is business mixed with pleasure. It is energetic harmony in a bottle, cited by former United Nations secretary-general Ban Ki-moon as "the best tool we have ever devised to unite the world in love."

Apply "Gary" with respect. Use this gift wisely. Bear in mind the words of Mahatma Gandhi: "Power is of two kinds. One is obtained by the fear of punishment and the other by acts of love. Power based on love is a thousand times more effective and permanent then the one derived from fear of punishment." May God bless you all.

"Gary" is available on eBay for $7.99.

A very sumptuous and one-of-a-kind scent. The first notes include pineapple, coconut, and seaweed, with traces of sandalwood and ambroxan. Longevity and silage are excellent, as is the smell. Gary is a powerful and sensitive snail who leaves a gorgeous sparkling path.

the sillage of this is soo monstrous... this thing make compliments rain even with very little spraying. had at least 12 compliments without leaving my room!
People breached my front door, shouting me love words while doing so. had to wash it off with pineapple juice and scrub with sponge to make the smell and people go away.

The smell is a bit like JPG le beau. Easily one of the best fruity fragrances ever made.

PM me if you sell decant of vintage Garry bottle.

I've been following Gary from the start of his career since I was a child and you have no idea how excited I was when I found out he released his own fragrance. Now, $11.99 + shipping was a bit out of my price range but after about a year of saving, I finally bit the bullet and forked over my hard earned cash.

All I can say is "wow". This smells absolutely magnificent. I excitedly sprayed it on as soon as it arrived and my girlfriend just wouldn't stop sniffing my neck. Gary may be a slug, but anyone who smells this on you will say that you smell like nothing short of a gentleman.

It opens with a fresh hit of citrus and orange blossom which develops slowly and unravels to reveal a sumptuous coconut note and a cheeky, slightly risky woody base. The collection of notes make up something that you really don't smell anywhere else and I really love that unique quality.

Overall i'd give this a solid 8/10. As I mentioned above, it's a little expensive and that's the only thing holding me back from giving a perfect score. Like I say about all things luxury: if you have the money, why not?

WOW! This is more than a fragrance; it's an olfactory experience and a way of life. The scent begins with pineapple, coconut, and seaweed, with hints of sandalwood and ambroxan. It's very similar to Viking, but better! Gary is a powerful and sensitive man with a seductive shimmering trail. Summertime perfection. The performance is outstanding. It was well worth it and very surprising

I totally agree with Remy1971....this is an outstanding summer beachy scent! I get coconut, driftwood and musk. It is perfect and so surprising! And for the price, amazing! And I would also add, it's really what I thought Dune would be for some reason.

For $9.99 I thought this would determine if it was the joke, or I was the joke for buying it. The joke wasn’t on me when I got 7 hrs of longevity. The notes were ones I shyed away from in the past fearing it would be too sweet or become too feminine. Instead, the coconut and driftwood were quite perfect in their combination. Just like the Distillery fragrance set I purchased from Walmart, this was a massive pleasant surprise.

Yes it is actually really good. I’m an old man so you can trust that I’m not memeing here.

It’s a dry coconut with a prominent driftwood note. I’ve had a few fumes that had a listed driftwood before but Gary is the most prominent application of the note, this actually smells like the river driftwood I would collect as a kid.

The opening is a little chaotic, it’s seems to go through about 10 stages within the first 10 minutes before it settles into the driftwood/coconut/musk.

The performance here is overrated, certainly. But still satisfactory.

I thought this was a private joke by Fragantica for members only until I started reading the reviews LOL

I had no idea Gary had his own fragrance!

I was bestowed this gift on Mother’s Day. What can possibly be said that hasn’t been waxed poetic already?

I’ll cast a line into the sea of reviews. Immediately I smelled the ocean and vacations of my youth when sunscreen (if we bothered with it) smelled fantastic. Tropical. Banana Boat dark tanning oil. Coconut and pineapple. The salty spray. This stuff makes me wanna rock. I feel like a goofy goober. I’m a teen again on the boardwalk looking for nightlife… and I just found it.

Thanks, Gary.

PS I layered it with Lolita Lempicka Elle L’aime. Stop reading and do the same.

Great for sunny days deep in the south pacific. The amazing projection from this snail juice makes them slow right down... My name is Gary, so this is my signature scent!

This is it, the fragrance apocalypse wrought by a cartoon snail. This is a scent for kids that has gained absolute meme status, even reaching Fragrantica's best lists. This isn't just an inside joke though, this fragrance is stupidly powerful. Usually I reserve my judgement on performance until the end, but one test spray to the arm pretty much blasted the whole room with syrupy sweet coconut. I got a strong mango-lemon scent out of the top notes as well, but yeah, coconut dominate this. This is a warm, tropical scent, like smelling a fruit bowl at a beach party. Vanilla and wood make their appearances early on but don't come on strongly until a while later, when this beast has had the chance to cool down. The almost-earthy wood later on is nicely-done, but can do little to balance out the sweetness in this fragrance. Otherwise, this smells like a coconut kids shampoo. Perfect for a hot summer day outdoors, I'd like to try this at the seaside, where the scent will interact with saltier air.
Scent- 4.5/10 decent but shallow and syrupy, I would let it sit for a bit until the woodier notes have a chance to breathe.
Performance- 12/10 probably the most powerful EDT I've ever smelled, handle with caution. One spray clears the room, three might blow the house down.
Blind Buy- for ten bucks or under this is a steal, just watch a 1.7 oz bottle last forever cause you only need two sprays to go all day.
Other notes- The bottle is cutely shaped like Spongebob's pineapple house from the cartoon (the Gary-shaped one is discontinued). I should put it right in between some super ordinary expensive bottles just to throw people off.

Finally, a serious review. Thank you @CoffeeFifoFum.
Now...I can buy my bottle.

Why is there an indie scent in the goofy snail bottle!?! You know how sometimes you'll read a sh*tpost or a quote from a six year old and get thrown by how profound it is? That's Gary. I'm convinced this is some well known perfumers version of fanfic. That's why there's no named nose behind it.

Opens strong. Citrus and straight into woods with some amber. No chemical whiff at all to me, and I tend to get one from anything claiming amber and sandalwood. The vanilla is faint and unsweetened but still going several hours later to mellow the woods. A true unisex the way patch is without the hippie vibe. This is whatever the niche clothing equivalent of LL Bean is, outdoorsy but not sweating.

This is a powerhouse of a scent. A reach out and touch you perfume. One pump in a cool room and hours later I'm still getting startling moments of "yup that's Gary" as I move. (I need to go watch SpongeBob and find out who Gary is.)

Edit: I tested this in a traveling sample box without knowing Gary was a meme. I have no reason to think what I smelled isn't the real perfume but I did not sniff directly from the snail's eyes. The pineapple shaped bottle with a snail sticker seems to be a very different scent.

People thinking Gary is all joke and no smoke let me assure you... This is the Mona Lisa of fragrance.. Rebottle it in a Creed or Roja bottle and nobody would bat an eye... A real wolf in snails clothing!


Why are you still reading? Add to basket already. Heck get one for all the family.

Thank me later

Haha, a kind of serious review. I tested this one out, and I actually really like it! It smells synthetic and very sweet, something you'd expect. The juvenile aspect fits though. Nobody's expecting Spongebob perfume to be super high end and all that. I smelled PINEAPPLE. So much pineapple. It's not even listed as a note for this perfume. But for me, this was all pineapple and coconut. I'm not the biggest fan of coconut, but it kind of worked for me in this perfume. Cute. Fun. Slightly plastic. But more importantly, who could really hate Gary?

I wish people would stop comparing the greatest scent ever made Gary to those over rated liquids such as Viking Creed, BR 540 and Virgin Island Water. Gary is a master piece and the best $10 I have ever spent!

I discovered this whilst indulging my favorite pasttime, Bikini Bottom diving. How it reacts to your outer layer will depend upon whether you have an epidermis, scales, or a carapace. I am a crustacean. On me it smells indolic, but also aromatic, but also gourmand, but also sporty, but also barbershop, much like the sea itself. Longevity is good, sillage is about 2.5 feet on land, 23 nautical miles in water. Yes the driftwood is synthetic but what do you expect for $3.26, which is what I found it for at Marshalls. This was recommended to me by my friend, a Cavefish. I asked her if it was a blind buy, and she said, "Cave fish don't have eyes, what do you think?" Then we laughed.

I found this fragrance incomparable. Like a....

Well, considering it's from the House Le Escargot, I'll let the designer himself describe this masterpiece:

"Meow. Meow mow mew meow. Meow Meow." -Gary

Couldn't have said it better myself. Thank you Gary for this ingenious work of art.

During a recent deep sea dive off Barbados, I bumped into Gary. We chewed the fat for a couple of hours and, before I rose too sharply and got an almighty case of the bends, he gave me a spray of his namesake.

Wow. When you’re 20,000 leagues under the sea, this stuff is omnipotent. We had Pearl and Mrs. Puff bumping and grinding while Shabba Ranks belted out Mr. Loverman in the background (his C Major remix).

No lie, I snapped up a 13ml sample of Gary. Layers well with Oud de Squidward and Mr. Krabs Neroli by Armaf.

A steal at $399 AUD a bottle, although I got one at a mate’s rate of $389.

11.6/10

I don't know how I ended up here, but I'm not complaining

GARY... nuff said

People don't have anything better to do than write phony reviews? Is this a clone of another fragrance? no. Does it smell good, I guess. It's not terrible and it's super cheap. Get it if you want, but ignore people who think they are funny, but failing miserably.

It is with great pleasure and honor that I write this review today. My story begins approximately 9 years ago when my fragrance journey began.
For nearly the past decade I've tried ALL, and I mean ALL the fragrances I could get my hands on... you name it. Creed, PDM, Amouge etc... but nothing really felt like it was... me. I've settled for creed viking as a signature scent. For years I was let's say "content" with viking, but that has slowly changed.
My nose has developed, and my taste for luxurious fragrances has really developed. I wanted something opulent and unique. I saw the reviews on Gary and saw it was similiar to viking. I figured I'll give it a shot. One word... WOW. THIS BLEW MY SOCKS OFF!
Upon first spray It felt as if I had transported to the depths of bikini bottom. Pineapple, coconut, seaweed with hints of sandalwood and ambroxan. It definitely is similiar to viking, BUT BETTER! For years I was searching for something like this. The long nights watching Jeremy fragrance, the endless money pit buying sprees... it was here all along. Gary was always there. I didn't just find Gary, Gary found me.

@Eaatwood Why the hate man? :(
Just because we own this discontinued, ultra rare masterpiece and you don't?
Jealously really does bring out the worst in people!

Lame and corny. Sometimes I hate being associated with fragcomm because of the characters that’s in it.

From the niche only wannabes
The attention seekers
The females who always post pics of themselves when posting a frag
The batch variation burying idiots
The designer is better than niche / vice versa


Just a bunch of weird looking people who think fragrances or being able to afford highend fragrances in particular makes them somebody in the world.

Have you heard, L'oreal is taking over SpongeBob Squarepants, they will probably ruin this house the same as with Mugler, and next it will be Gary Nova and Gary Iced Star and millions of Escada lovers will move in.

After reading these reviews, I can’t decide if I’m now in on the joke or am the joke. Entertaining nonetheless, ha!

There needs to be a word, an adjective if you will, to describe the intrinsic feeling that one discerns as the first fractions of a second, of a scent such as this one, melts time with its introductory and supple olfactory notes.

This is not just a fragrance, it's a lifestyle. Every night I dip two cotton balls into the bottle and stick them in my nostrils or else I can't sleep. After the wife left me and took the kids, the smell of Gary cologne is the only thing I have left to remind me of her. Words cannot begin to describe the experience of using this cologne, but what I can say is that you do not wear this fragrance... this fragrance wears you.

I heard Mugler is going to buy this, hurry up before they reformulate it !!

Finding Gary is like trying to mining a bitcoin

Underrated! It smells wayyyy more expensive than the $5 I paid for it. It's Viking Creed on steroids. Only wear it if you're looking for trouble.

My mind - Gary.
My heart - Gary.
My perfume - Gary.
Amen.

How is this only at 4.58 out of 5?
I suspect some are disliking based on pure jealousy at never having experienced Gary.
Now very hard to get I wonder, is any clone house brave enough to take on this complex masterpiece?
I don't expect anyone to be able to replicate Garys secret sexy recipe, with his nano particles of pure desire, but surely even if they got it half right it would still rate in the 4.40s and sell out daily.
Gary is strong and sensitive, a modern evolved snail that leaves a sexy shimmering trail

just bought it and i already received over 10 compliments today, and the cologne wasn't even delivered yet. 10/10. will buy a backup bottle.

I'm actually finding it very hard to put my thoughts into writing but bare with me while I attempt to do so.

How can one describe this scent? With great difficulty. To describe this scent is akin to describe a color to a blind man. One must experience it to really understand. How do you describe the joy you feel when you've discovered IT. THE scent that you want to be remembered for. The scent that you want to die smelling of. The scent you want your first born to smell when they take their first breath in this world. That is GARY. Don't mind my bumbling attempts at explaining this scent. All I can do is somewhat describe the way it makes me feel. And it simply makes me happy to be alive and present to experience it. Thank you Gary.

100% worth pretending it's great.

To all those looking, you don’t find Gary.... Gary finds you.

Like the A-team... in a bottle.... but better.

I still really need this... Cant be found?

Ok, where do you find this shit?? It's not even on ebay.

@Tongmeister but where did you find itttt

Wow.... just wow.

I’ve seen the superlatives consigned to Gary here, making out that this is the best thing ever.... and I’ll admit I was a cynic. Nothing can be that good.

Having wandered the barren wasteland of niche fragrances for years searching for something, anything truly great, there was Gary at the end of my quest.

So magnetic does one become, you could end up looking like a fridge.... if the magnets were classy ladies.

Others can smell it over Zoom - it’s that well crafted.

God bless you Gary, you legend.

I take it now this was a joke. I got a bottle after all the good comments. The first few minutes after spraying smells exactly like stink bugs. I get the small hint of vanilla, coconut and powder after about 15 minutes on the skin, as soon as the stink bug wears off. It smells more feminine to me. Not a fan. But hey, it was only 10 bucks.

This is the earthbound equivalent of ambrosia. With this single fragrance, I have ascended to a higher level of existence. I have yet to find any flaws with this purely orgasmic scent and I would willingly bet the current net value of all fortune 500 companies that I will never find any flaws.

Wore this last night, brought a girl home. The next morning I went to apply more but as soon as I removed the cap I was drug back into the bed for another round.

just bought it... i already received over 10 compliments today, and i cologne wasn't even delivered yet. 10/10. will buy it again.

Gary smell very very 99.99% same to Prada black. sweet vanilic amber with cream-y wood clean white powder clean musk.

Ive sold every single fragrance in my collection to stock up on 100 of these.
This is all you’ll ever need. It’s a panty dropper (and boxer dropper, I don’t judge).
Give them the snail rail and watch em meow like Gary 🐌

After reading all the overwhelmingly positive reviews, I bought 2 1.7oz bottles of this in the pineapple bottle. I don't understand how people claim it lasts and stays forever. It's so cheap, that I can't see why a company would invest the money to reformulate it and make it even cheaper. But my experience is way different then most.
First and foremost, this smells like when a stink bug releases it's defense spray. With coconut and vanilla mixed in. Once it gets down the stink bug smell goes away and it's a decent beachy smell. It's definitely not a world beater. Nothing so unique and special I would sell all my colognes for but there's a reason it's advertised for kids.
And when I stink bug I really mean it. I live in Virginia where they are everywhere. So I am extremely familiar with the smell they release. The smell makes me nauseous. I was so looking forward to an amazing scent. I guess you can't expect much for a kids cologne. I have 2 bottles if anyone want to buy or trade for them.

Where can I buy this??

This is the virgin island water created for non-virgins

Gary for life! Gary YOLO!

I learned a lot about this masterpiece by reading the reviews
Specially the solid fact of 50km silage & 9 years longevity.

A must have & A lot cheaper than nukes...

Honestly, I got this for my kids at the dollar store but stole it once I realized how good it was. Don't be deceived by the childish appearance of the bottle like I was, Gary is for grown men! This smelled familiar, so I did some research and saw the similarities to Creed Viking in fragcom. I have to disagree with that assessment - this smells better.

Projection and sillage with this one are monstrous, so be careful or you could end up choking yourself, and all the females you're going to attract around you, out. Much like Viking, this one definitely leans 25+ masculine; but, those strong, assertive females out there could most definitely pull this one off as well. I must say, Gary completely blew me out of Bikini Bottom with its quality and affordability - Creed has officially been put on notice with this one. I'd recommend getting your hands on the snail before the house realizes what it has and the price skyrockets, or worse, it gets the reformulation treatment.

There is a rumor within the fragrance industry that Gary is in talks with Tom Ford to release a capsule range in Spring 2020. It will consist of three fragrances, two with a snail-like theme and a third that will be an industry first collaboration between Gary and Tom himself.

Expect to see Tom x Gary Escargot D'noir in stores before the end of the year.

I've been collecting for a while guys and let me tell you... As soon as I smelled this bottle I put up half my collection for sale. I only kept the other half to keep Gary company. This fragrance is like being bedded by an angel, nay a devil. One spray of this and all your cares will melt away.
Some say it's better than sex, I say indeed.
If a printer could love a snail, I think this would have been it for me. But alas, I'm just an old HP.

Gary is love, Gary is life, Gary is the finest boy you could've ever met.

One of the best fragrances ever made. It quickly became my signature scent. Girls get mad over this and they love it - it's sexy and masculine. I always wear this when i'm on a meeting, in the club or when i'm just outside. I even wore it on my wedding. Everyone smiles at me when i wear it - it's because this frag is absolutely the best !
It reminds me of Creed Aventus but this one is much better. Don't spend Your money on Aventus ! Check this bad boy instead !

Mere words cannot describe the ethereal marvel that is "Gary". To describe it as a fragrance is like calling the Sistine Chapel a spray painted shed.

Sillage is rumored to have a 50km radius that gently glows from the wearer. Comparing it to other fragrances is unfair to the several thounsand year history of perfume. Roja? Cheap and nasty in comparison. Creed? Could only dream of this status. If I was forced at gunpoint to describe it I could only manage one word. One word only. Masterpiece.

My only advice, sell your house, sell your car, use the money for a downpayment on Gary.

Absolute masterpiece. I wore this one on a date with a black belt karate champion that I met on tinder. We grabbed a burger at the fast food joint up the road and I turned heads as soon as I walked in, the projection is insane, even the grumpy clarinet guy at the till told me I smelt amazing. I was immediately swarmed by a shoal of females and they gave me lot's of good ladies reackshuns guys. Then she proceeded to ask me back to her treedome after the date because she didn't want to stop smelling me! Two hour's later and she's got her nose shoved right into my... bottle of Gary SpongeBob Squarepants for women and men.

This is perfume mastery. 10/10

To me, this smells like a slightly soapy coconut. Not sweet or suntan lotion-y. This would make a perfect room scent for a beachside hotel, it’s that inoffensive and unisex. I can detect the musk but not the citruses at all. Compared to JLo´s Miami glow, which also smells like a soapy coconut to me, this is softer and more unisex. I prefer this one:) Decent longevity for the price too.

@ Palmer Eldritch has the best username! Have my indiscriminate like!

Best panty dropper fragrance ever. With Gary you won't be virgin any more.

WOW!! this is a dupe for Creed Viking??? Finally a great/affordable dupe for an overpriced fragrance! Gonna get it as a New Year's present for my grandpa!!

Also it has insane performance!! 12+ hour lasting power and massive projection!! I need to buy backups.

@Descartes ok man. now i get it. :D

not sure, this review before me is real or just troll. lol

Just one word... MASTERPIECE! Full bottle blind-buy worthy.

Sprayed this on my skin and finaly lost my virginity,I'm 37!Great fragrance, 11 patrick's pants/10

Oh, my goodness! So many funny reviews. What a way to start the day! I was ready to hunt one of these cute snail bottles down until I read that what's inside gave the impression of Un Bois Vanille by Serge Lutens. I gave that away a while ago so I won't be looking for another. I think a thread on the Fragrantica Forum of our favorite reviews would be a very good on going read! We have so many comedians, romantic novelists, and incredible storytellers who review on Fragrantica.

It is actually not bad. A not too sweet, salty, grassy/woody, coconutwatery scent. Weak sillage and lastingpower, but for the price that's fine.

My panties would sneak up my butt rather than drop if an adult straight male wore this though. It feels too feminine and young. The late drydown is a bit more unisex and mature.

I hear that 'Gary' was the fragrance Kylie Jenner was wearing when made she made her $600 million deal with Coty and Megan Markle is rumored to be the next spokeswoman for this groundbreaking gem.

It's that good.

The scorching afternoon sun is setting the fields ablaze as it is going down the horizon. As the grasshoppers near the porch warm up for rehearsal before the night, a calm, chilly breeze goes through the fields creating pulsated waves across the countryside. It's the end of summer. The crops are ready to harvest. Gary is patrolling through the prairies and leaving scent trails wherever he goes, sometimes on rocks, some other times on haystacks, plants, and soil. The countryside is becoming gradually united in scent, and the countrymen, in that distant part of the land, become obliged to smell like the land they come from. With no choice left, they have to follow Gary wherever he chooses to travel and reside. In that sense they become their own Vikings, seeking their destiny with an unmatched, everlasting creed that all will be fine, that all stories will have a happy ending, if only they smelled like Gary for the rest of their lives.

Human jealousy has robbed me of my precious Gary, but eternal bliss flows through me as its opulent scent lingers in my pillow. No other fragrance can equally deserve the love I have for Gary and its raw simplicity and uniqueness.

I will never forget my first experience smelling Gary. The mystical scent manifested itself like the twilight wings of a summer dawn. My life was forever changed in that moment.

I am vicariously taken to uncharted islands as I unceasingly indulge in its fragrant tropical mist.

The scent comforts and uplifts my emotions more than the scent of a newborn's crown.

Nothing can replace Gary. Nothing.

Legend says Shalimar is the greatest perfume ever created
Well...........

Legend is wrong !!! This is the greatest fragrance have ever made

Ancient legends say that you can turn into a snail if you wear it twice in a row. Fortunately, nobody ever tried.

What do you call a fragrance?

A Fragrance.

This amazing scent opens with extreme lavender and patchouli. A true heritage masterpiece. I hear you saying, “Creed Aventus, who?”.

Perfect for that business/smart casual office environment. This won’t be attracting the ladies, but it will definitely smell better than a microwaved Salmon in the communal canteen.

They really hit the snail on the head with this one. The master nose behind this scent has to remain unknown, for fear that his voicemail would be perpetually full with job offers.

I don't always have time to make love to every woman I see, so I must use this one very sparingly, it's rather unfortunate. I sprayed this on me Aug-2010 and it's starting to become a big of a skin scent now in Jun-2019, so the longevity is fair I'd say.

As a long time lover of snail mucus slathered on my face, I’ve often found myself thinking “this is what Gary feels like, but what does he smell like?!” I would wake in the middle of the night in a cold sweat needing to know. I would stare mornfully out the window and my fiancé would ask me what’s wrong, and I would say “nothing” but what I really meant was “I will never BE Gary because I don’t SMELL like Gary.”

But! One faithful day I was roused from my sorrows with the knowledge that Gary’s scent had been bottled and I finally could embody his essence. And now I can rule over the snails as their one true Gary!

In tears. Getting divorced and the stress of who will get custody of Gary is driving me Squidward. A bewitching fragrance, I am heartbroken ... may need to form support group.

Can you feel it Mr. Krabs?

Can you feel it Mr. Krabs?

Does this bottle actually exist? I also would like it to complete the collection...

Anybody know where to get this and Mr. Krabs ?
I got the other three

Even as someone with a capacious collection of hundreds of fragrances from some of the most elusive and prestigious houses on the planet, it's near impossible for me to elucidate the intricacies and nuances of Gary in a way that does it appropriate justice.

The breakdown of Gary just, well, takes my breath away. Hand on my heart, I can say that it's something that I have genuinely never experienced with another fragrance in my 24 years of existence.

I can honestly and truly say that Gary is for the polemicists of our society. People who break down and destroy the actual fabric itself of culture and thought.

Is this a panty dropper?

Okay, but where can I get this? I'm searching and finding nothing. Message me if you know, por favor. :)

One word: Masterpiece.
I can see why so many brands are trying to copy this scent-dna.

Best panty dropper ever !

It's amazing what a good perfume can do for your confidence.....This one has really made me come out of my shell.

I was looking for a frag similar to Creed Viking and came across this one. I found my own bottle on Ebay for a great price. Just opening the package I was blasted by a heavenly aroma of fresh coconut. I immediately sprayed it on my neck and was shocked with the reaction from girls, many compiments. A few weeks later I was even able to sample Viking and found that Gary by SpongeBob Squarepants was FAR better. Ever since I bought this fragrance I got a raise at my job, I won the lottery, and my wife came back with the kids. overall : 10/10

I always did like Steve Carell. That’s pretty good.

I want one - at least it won't run out quick.

for only the most special occasions, i use this special cologne. its illegal in 9 countries. Its made with real bits of snail. so you know its good.

its quite pungent.

its A Formidable scent... it burns the nostrils. in a good way.

they've done studies you know, 60% of the time it works 100% of the time.

When Viking Creed was announced people added Gary SpongeBob Squarepants to the 'reminds me of perfume' list. At that moment it was original joke and actually funny and we all had good laugh. After that members wanted to keep joking around and add Gary to other fragrances so we finally gave up, deleted all votes that suggest Gary and blacklisted this fragrance in suggestions list.

We left only old votes Viking <-> Gary.

If you notice some other fragrance to pop-up as a similar fragrance around the website and is annoyance and fake vote let us know. Just PM me to investigate.

Bonus: try to add Gary SpongeBob to any other fragrance as a similar and see what happens ;)

I got this fragrance because I was looking for a dupe for Creed Viking without even knowing what Viking smelled like. When I received Gary in the mail I was very excited to see what all the craze was about. To my surprise, Gary was very nice but not at all what I was expecting for a “Viking” fragrance to smell like. So I took it upon myself to go out and investigate further. I went to Neimann Marcus, and behold...Viking was upfront on display. I grabbed the bottle as if it was mine and looked around awkwardly to see if people noticed my weird behavior. But I digress...I quickly sprayed Viking on my hand and...sadly it was NOT Gary. It was indeed lovely and got so much better as the day progressed..at least on my skin anyway. But I continued the search for the Gary resemblance amongst the Creed line. Aaaaand voilá, I found it...well sort of. Gary is a dupe for Creed’s VIW. In the immediate spray you get a wonderful explosion of a sort of powdery coconut ocean-y vibe. Very tropical and Caribbean smelling. Quite the opposite of Viking where it’s more green and somewhat salty. I think Viking smells EXACTLY like I would imagine a good smelling savage would smell like if they where indeed hygenically umm...good? But Gary is most definitely VIW especially in the dry down. But you should compare them side by side. Also...not Aventus in the slightest. Cheers!

So I gave in and bought this for fun. I was hoping for a good coconut scent, since that's almost impossible to find. I did not get the Gary figurine, but the one in a pineapple shaped bottle. I was surprised that the bottle was glass, I had expected plastic since it's marketed as a children's fragrance. I sprayed it on cold, since it had just arrived in 30° F temperatures, and at first was kinda like, "meh". After a few minutes of it warming up to my skin, I'm getting a close dupe for James Heeley Cocobello, which I swapped away last year and have been regretting ever since. It leans a bit more masculine than Coccobello, but I think I'm okay with that since I wear several other men's scents. Not bad for under $20! I'll update with longevity...

Update: This lasted about six hours with just one spray to the wrist, and I kept having the "Hey, what's that great smell?" during that time. I still say it's a close match for Coccobello, but unfortunately for me there's some ingredient making me nauseated, so this is a no go for me. I may pass it on to my 18 yr old son, I think he'll enjoy it. His go to warm weather scent is Eternity Aqua, and I think Gary is meant for warmer temperatures. All joking & funny reviews aside, this is a high quality scent, and I'd be searching for more if it had worked for me. I may give Patrick or Spongebob a try...

What is this madness I've stumbled upon?
Gary has gone on my want list.

Thanks for the giggles :)

I finally got my my bottle of Gary delivered and... wow... who could have believed the quality of this juice. It is like they copied Creed's Virgin Island Water and made it even better. Gary is a Pina Colada from heaven, the coconut accord is so astonishingly well made and perfectly supported by the sandalwood and amber, so lovely! My best blind buy ever, will stock up a couple more bottles and can't wait to try Squidward from this house next on.

Damn, this stuff sounds fucking awesome!!!!

@michama83 no, dear. You’re confused. It smells BETTER than Creed’s vanilla sublime.

Someone who can prove that smells like creed’s vanilla sublime???

As you move down the street your slimy trail leaves an odour so beautiful that those lucky enough to smell it fall to their knees, they hit the pavement with tears in their eyes crying out "my leg! my leg!". You make your way home where your personal chef has prepared your favorite dinner, snailpo. You catch a glimpse of yourself in the mirror, meowing at your awesomeness you say " It is I, Gary."

I was so lucky to get my hand on a decant. I was tracking the package day and night, waiting for it to arrive. I was at a movie date with the cutie, mind you, it was a second date too, when I refreshed the usps page. And voila! I had to slip out mid movie. I undoubtedly ran over something but pay no mind! Finally I find Gary's box waiting quietly at my door.
Right then and there, i threw my purse on the ground, and tore open the box and wrapping. That's what my bitch nails are for, quick unwrapping.
And there in my hand, so magical, so glorious! Is the blood of my cherished creature, Gary. I put on a spritz on my arm. Not sure why but I heard a distinctive Meow and I was brought down to my knees, weeping in joy. In this scent I can feel the handsome stranger that once kissed me outside a bar on a rainy night, Vincent van Gogh, and my long dead great grandfather who I've never met, all embracing me at the same time. It's a tale of desire, of love long lost, homesick nostalgia and wanderlust of lands far beyond.
I finally recollected myself and wiped away my tears. That's when I realized that i've been kneeling in front of my door for a good 20 mins, and my next door neighbor, bless her heart! Has been standing right next to me with her dog, asking if I'm feeling alright.

Now I have finished my 5 ml decant on the first day! What do I do? I need Gary's beautiful deep red eyes staring into my soul for the rest of my life. After sniffing Gary, no man can do. I must have him again. Won't anybody help a desperate woman out? Where can I get a full bottle? Preferably vintage batch but I can settle for new batch too. After all, new Gary is still better than no Gary.

I THOUGHT THIS WAS A JOKE!
GOOD LORD THIS ISN'T!

I need sometime to reduce my excitement..

After 5 hours of speechless moment. Let me tell you this. I'm living in one of the hottest and most crowded city in the world. It has a tropical climate so the weather is very hot. I was looking for the perfect summer fragrance, so I desperately go here to find the best summer fragrance. I've searched for this beauty for this beauty for 6 months on the offline stores. Suddenly I found one of the online stores in my country selling this product.

I was trembling when I clicked the 'buy' button. 3 days later (which is today) this snail arrived at my front door. I can hear it calling me with a 'MEOW'. I can't help my self, my hands are trembling, knees week arms are heavy there's vomit in my sweater already, mom's spaghetti.

So i took 2 sprays to my skin. I put the bottle down. And it literally took me 5 hours until I have the power to write this review.

If you want to know what a daily life in bikini bottom smells like, this is the answer. Peaceful, tropical, clean. You can smell every notes described here. It's blended very well.

High quality ingredients. This is a niche quality fragrance, for all ages and all occasion. I even get compliments from my boss Mr.Krabs. My cat even got a new friend now by talking to bottle.

No this is not a joke. Try it yourself and you'll believe it.

This has definitely been reformulated. It's left a strange silvery trail around my neck.

I'm pretty sure that it's just a rip off of L'eau D'escargot by Chasnail.

#garyismyspiritanimal

I predict one of these posts will be the winner of Fragrantica fragrance review of the year!

I also predict this masterpiece will inspire parents to name their babies Gary. It will be the top baby boys AND baby girls name of 2018 and for years to come.

Reading these reviews has been one of the funniest moments I've had lately. LOL...perfumeaddiction is brilliant...Thumbs up and balloons for all of you guys!

OMG it's HERE! Today is the my lucky day! I was pretty excited and somewhat in dismay when the postman knocked and requested a signature for “Gary”. Apparently the seller knew something I did not (but was soon to be in on). With extreme excitement and trepidation I signed for my parcel and ripped the package out of the postman’s hands. Shaking, I ran directly into the kitchen to find a utensil that could open the box the quickest. A steak knife was not the best choice due to the state I was in, but it got the job done. No harm, no foul!

I was shaking like a school girl on her first date! Could this guy have packaged it with any more sealed bubble wrap? After tearing through I finally had this gem in my hands. What a beautiful box? After tearing through that I held this unicorn in my hands. They were shaking! This bottle puts all Avon 1970 bottles to shame! It’s a masterpiece.

I opened the cap to take a quick sniff of the pump – Sweet Jesus could this be any indication of what is inside? As I was ready to spray this mythical juice, and as bad timing had it - my son walked in from school. Like a greedy child with her Halloween candy, I held Gary tight in my grasp and sprinted to the bathroom for a private moment. While running, I think I may have accidentally stepped on the family dog. I quickly sat on the John and latched the door. I could hear my son tapping on the door asking “Mom are you ok”? Quiet I said – Give Mommy a moment!

I went crazy with Gary. I sprayed all over my arms, my head, hell the entire bathroom! And Gary was GLORIOUS! I think I even cried a little. I can’t stop smelling myself and I have the best smelling John on the block. The whole family has been going in and out of it all day commenting on the glorious scent. I would like to thank the man, woman or child who invented this glorious juice. It’s an absolute masterpiece!

I can't even with these reviews.

I think Christopher Dicas (2 fragrances in the database) must have had a hand in creating this masterpiece. After all, no one has actually sniffed either of his fragrances either but reviews suggest similarities to the world's finest.

The reformulated 2017 version of Gary is a better version of Fu*king Fabulous...nothing like the Fragrantica note list at all.!!!!..Make sure you grab the limited edition Christmas ornament.."Santa Gary"

I hear Armaf is coming out with a dupe in Spring 18.....However...I miss Vintage Gary..Egyptian Priestesses concocted Gary for the Pharaoh of magic carpets... #bringbackgary

GUYS DO NOT BE FOOLED!

The pineapple shaped bottle is a complete reformulation and NOT our beloved Gary!

"Top notes are citruses, apple, sea notes, seagrass and freesia; middle notes are water lily, mint, watery cyclamen, salt and rose; base notes are moss, vetiver, sandalwood and white musk."

AGHH! This is like Miss Dior Cherie all over again! Why can't they just leave our perfumes alone? #bringbackgary

are the comparisons to other fragrances legit ?
why the comments about it read like trolling or sarcasm ?

This is still available from laminadeoro.com for $2.99 per bottle (1.7oz)

Just received 5 more bottles in the mail and with the crazy projection and longevity of this beast that should be a lifetime supply easy.

May you live long and smell awesome (:

My boyfriend and I share this....well... not really, we pretty much fight over it every day since it is impossible to find anymore for a good price unless you want to pay big $$$$. A few drop kicks and body slams-- basically wrestling over which one of us is going to wear it out to dinner--it's just that darn good. One time he went as far as to hide it in his car the ratbastard! I was frantically yelling WHERE'S GARY? Gosh we dont fight over all of the normal stuff like other people. I tell him all the time it smells like cheetos or elmer's glue on him in the hopes he'll give it up but he never does. Don't worry it doesn't smell like cheetos or elmers....or coconut for that matter.

Yes, we are in therapy, why do you ask?

Oh man, it looks like it just got discontinued! Better grab whatever's on ebay before prices go through the roof! You don't want to be caught out in the cold when the greatest scent by the House of Spongebob, which had its origins in Ancient Rome, is simply unavailable anywhere.

Only one word for this perfume:

Meow!

Knife2 You have the pre-reformulated parfum. Because the new batch its a coconut bomb. No Aventus anymore!

The Gary hype is just too much for me, I had to order the edt & shower gel set. Nothing to loose here, folks, just go on and blind buy this legend! Will report back about the performance...

Can't believe these are actually a thing nor the prices they're going for!? Have I found Fragrantica's April Fool page...:O

Can I get in on a decant of that for $50.? I'm not having any luck finding a legit seller.

I've seen a vintage 2016 bottle on eBay for $250... Is it worth the money?

BEWARE!!!!!!!!!!
As I said BEFORE, it as been REFORMULATED! No pineapple anymore, only COCONUT! Mine arrive yesterday and its coconut nuclear mode: ON!
FYI projection and longevity still are a BEAST! But forget the new batch, search for the olders.
You´ve been WARNED! :(

Serious question. I did find Gary in a pineapple shaped bottle with his little slimy body printed on the front. Is this the same or does the bottle really come in a snail shape? I found Patrick in a body shaped bottle. And if Gary does come in snail form - does it smell the same as the other stuff pineapple shape? Also I hear it has been reformulated already. Sweet Jesus, did the IFRA already get their slimy mitts on it?

Dupe of Un Bois Vanille by SL

Also available from Notino, if it's impossible to satisfy your perfume craving in no other way.

Do you guys know how to find this for real online or in a real store? I was able to locate a few SpongeBobs and Mr. Krabs and one Patrick online yesterday but Gary and Squidward are literally sold out.

Is this Fragrantica's fault???

ETA thank you @drmerrick for the link, I actually did see it before, (the one with no photo) but it turns out that one has the pineapple shaped bottle with a sticker of Gary on the front and I want the one with Gary as the actual bottle. But thanks anyway. At least for those who only care about the juice this is an option.

What to say but OMG!!! Believe the hype. I picked this up from la mina de oro for $3.00

Upon my first spray I realized there was like a magic fragrance Genie living inside who granted my wish for the perfect scent. My search - is done. My quest - is over. I have arrived and it is GLORIOUS.

Best blind buy in ages!!!
I'm so happy I trusted all my fellow fragranticans. You guys rock <3
And because of the in depth batch discussions we had on the forums I was able to find a preformulated bottle! I can only imagine what IFRA has done to this beauty.

The bottle itself is a peace of art. The most tasteful color combinations I've ever seen. And the scent itself OMG! This is olfactory heaven. I see the comparison to some of the Creeds but honestly, this one is a league of it's own. Be warned though, this is not office safe unless you are the boss.

This is a hot and reckless night on the town, this is what Fifty Shades Darker promised us to be, this is Gary!

So... did I just find the comedy section of Fragrantica? Hilarious :D

Supposedly, this inspired by the adventurous life of a snail and is the signature scent of Shrek!

I was fortunate to find one of the old 75ml bottles on eBay before they changed to 50ml.

So ordered one for my kid and it arrived today! Sadly it seems like i got one of the smoky batches because now i have a five year old at home that smells like hes been smoking two packs of cigarettes.

At par with tom ford Tuscan Leather. Maybe with a bit more longevity.

Mine arrived today....forget Aventus....only coconut since reformulation...very very sad and dissapointed :(

Does anybody know if batch C0D16 circa may 2016 is the most coconut prominent batch?

Terrific masculine fragrance for the price. Comes in both 50ml and 100ml.

Want it to last even longer? Try layering it with the bubble bath and shampoo - I had a dream that all the angels in heaven wear this magnificent scent.

Ladies: this is the fragrance you want for your man. You won’t be able to keep your hands off of him! Maybe you don’t want it for your man, ‘cos then other ladies will want him too! Beats creed in longevity, amazing accords, and overall Sillage. Lasts at least 48 hours. So much better than Viking.

Guys: this is better than Viking or Aventus. I think it’s even sexier on women and is better and more fresh than Chanel Gabrielle. If you’re thinking of buying Gabrielle for your woman, buy this instead. She will thank you for it.

This fragrance is a compliment monster!!

I had at least 19 compliments and I didn't even leave the house!
People were shouting through my letterbox, I had to keep running outside and chasing them away with a broom.

Apart from the stalkers this is a nice frag, guaranteed to generate attention, even when you don't wear it!

I really get the Viking connection here. I mean, at first, they both just seemed rather run-of-the mill, mid-level designer scent that was meant to appeal to people who just want to think they smell good. But I kept studying it. I would spray it here and there, I would think about it day and night. I asked people what they thought about it, and when they said "it's okay," I said "try it again, don't you smell something special there?" I knew there was something really special about this scent, but it was like a secret, and you had to keep smelling it under all kinds of different circumstances, day after day, until finally you realize it was the greatest release in at least a decade!

I feel like there's a joke here that I'm not in on.

What a trail this perfume leaves! It literally glitters.

Words fail me to describe how bewitching and addictive this is. Absolutely unisex, maybe a slight bit more feminine. Outlasts every other scent I own. I'm stocking up!

The notes I get are similar to many other marine aquatics: sea salt and caviar (much like Mugler's Womanity). I don't get any of the coconut everyone else gets, but I do get whiffs of a seaweed-like note in the middle which endures through the majority of the fragrance. I also pick up something like driftwood towards the end.

Longevity and projection are really good, especially considering I work as a fry cook and the smell of the patties stick to me and my clothing.

What Viking was supposed to be... 48+ hrs longevity and beast mode projection.

I haven't tried this but it sounds like a joke when it's compared to Creed's, I want some lol

It's much more better than Aventus.

Me-wow! This is the fragrance for the shy person who wants to partially break out of his shell, and recite poetry at an open mic night

best panty dropper, believe me

I sure hope this isn't a joke, I want them all!!!!

Edit:
They are geared toward children, from the First American Brands website (children's division petitebeaute dot com):
"The 3D collection has tin can Gift Sets shaped as a Krusty Krab restaurant, there are 5 Gift Sets which contains 3 pieces 100ml Eau de Toilette+ 100ml Shower Gel +key chain. Children can use tin can to collect any small things.
Two special tin can Gift Sets names as Krusty Krab Friend’s House contains 3 pieces 100ml Eau de Toilette of SquarePants, Squidward, Patrick Star or SquarePants, Mr. Krabs and Gary (snail).
The collection completes with bath line which has 5 shower gels 3D shaped as SpongeBob SquarePants, Patrick Star, Squidward, Mr. Krabs and Gary (snail) comes in sizes 250ml and 400ml."

Yep, still want them and I'm trying to figure out where they will be sold :D

Haha, brilliant!

Is this a joke? Cos I'm getting my hopes up here! * adds to Christmas list*
