Nice scent, nothing revolutionary but very welcome. I’m smitten. You can detect the tangerine, the spices (they add a spark), and the amber. Perfect for everyday wear. Lasts 5-6 hours, a real bargain for the price. Reminds me of Perry Ellis 360 Red with a very orange twist of Clinique Happy. Wears well and smells clean. It’s not the eighth wonder, but it’s a reliable battle buddy. Give it a try, you’ll likely enjoy it. Yes, PLEASANT. Rating: 7.5/10
I loved it in cold climates, day or night. Its trail and longevity scream seduction and charm. The woody notes with amber make it top-tier for any occasion. I recommend it to gentlemen aged 25 and above.
I tried it today, but amidst so many samples, I lost a bit of focus. What I remember is that I liked it at first sniff. I’ll try to return soon to test it again.
I must say I’ve refined my opinion: it’s a warm, spicy freshness, akin to Mercedes-Benz Intense and slightly less than Fahrenheit by Dior. Very interesting. I don’t usually make comparisons, but it’s my way of explaining the concept. Best regards.
