  1. I was given this a year ago. I started using it reluctantly as there were no comments and the price was extremely low; however, the aroma surprised me and I found it quite characterful. It’s a classic fougère with a masculine touch, and it has earned me several compliments without me expecting them. Obviously, due to its low cost, the longevity is poor; after three hours it’s barely perceptible. I’d buy it again simply because I think the scent is so well-crafted for that price.

  2. I was gifted this last year. I tried it half-heartedly as there were no reviews and the price was ridiculous, but the scent caught me off guard; it has real character. It’s a classic fougère, very masculine, and I’ve received several compliments without expecting them. Of course, being cheap means it doesn’t last; after three hours, it’s almost gone, but I’d buy it again because the fragrance is so well-made for the price.
