The absolute worst smell I’ve ever encountered. My brother received it as a gift at work; initially, I thought it wasn’t bad, but upon testing it, it proved to be a fatal mistake. It smells unbearable, intense, sweet, and synthetic; it gave me dizziness, a headache, and made me feel sick. My brother had the same experience. It’s the perfect gift for your worst enemy or a cruel joke to leave a repulsive first impression.

I wonder why people expect a fragrance costing a tenth of a premium to deliver the same projection and longevity. Even expensive ones sometimes fail. It’s like complaining that a Toyota Yaris doesn’t go from zero to sixty in four seconds.
Scent: good. Projection: poor. Longevity: poor. Quality: decent for the price. A strange blind buy. Smells nice and sweet-fruitier, but the ingredients feel cheap. 4/10.

Smells fantastic but fades within two hours, which is my experience. You can wear it all day if you reapply, and for the price, it’s worth it. It’s sweet, lavender-like, but not overpowering. If you’re a student aged 15 to 25, go for it; your classmates will be complimenting you.
