Have you worn Bang Bang?

Tell us how it opens, how it settles on your skin, how long it lasts and when you wear it.

  1. Smells absolutely delicious; I think it’s sandalwood with other notes, but the downside is it’s linear and lacks longevity – barely lasts two hours and has no projection.

  2. wildkatzen

    The scent is very particular and interesting, starting with fennel or aromatic fennel and cardamomo which create a perfect blend; longevity is moderate, depending on skin pH and the time of year.

  3. juancar677

    One of the most prominent and ‘cool’ modern fragrances I’ve tried these days, much better than the Bang and the brand’s classic.

  4. giorgiogym.86

    I preferred it to the original Bang; it isn’t as youthful or sweet as mine, but it’s pleasant.
