Smells like D&G Pour Homme: fresh, talc-like, and not heavy. It also reminds me of Tous Intense (that D&G clone), but I prefer this one as it doesn’t become cloying on the skin. It’s more for everyday wear or the office compared to Tous, which I think suits evenings better due to its sweetness. For now, I find it a bit shy, staying closer to the skin. A good alternative to D&G, which is much more expensive here in Peru.
I absolutely love this perfume; it bears little resemblance to the original Biography. This and Desperté are quite youthful, but this one has a childlike touch, similar to Natura’s Urbano Recrea. It’s super youthful; even a 12-year-old could wear it. Very fresh, with a barely perceptible woody note and citrus, leaning more towards herbal. I can’t distinguish the notes well; it’s versatile for all seasons and very daytime-appropriate. The slight sweetness reminds me of Zara’s Raw Vetiver; they’re similar in that regard but totally different otherwise. It lasts a long time, over seven hours on the skin and even longer on clothes. At first, it’s extremely soft, but after two or three hours, it really comes into its own. I’ll definitely get the most out of this as I truly like it.
