Smells very strong; I can’t quite place it—it’s neither for the young nor the older crowd. It’s a bit of a mystery, reminiscent of the classic Benetton Colors from the 90s: potent but lacking finesse, hard to pinpoint exactly what it smells of, and difficult to wash off. 🫤

Completely agree with Bramasole. I stand by their point.

I didn’t like it at all: very harsh and generic. The notes don’t work together, resulting in something ordinary. Overall, it feels rough, lacking refinement, and slightly dated. I see nothing youthful or suitable for the modern man. There are better Liz Claiborne options available.

I remember this from Perfumería Prieto in Valencia, spring 1989, as an exciting American novelty that smelled lovely. The bottle caught my eye, and I took the women’s version to my mother; the price and the tester sample didn’t disappoint. Upon wearing it, I found it gentle and pleasant, soft and fresh for those hot days, with good woody and sweet notes. While its trail and longevity weren’t exceptional, I cherish the memory of those beautiful, happy times. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s now discontinued.

Opens strongly with bergamot, melon, and lavender. The florals, jasmine and rose, sit in the background. It reminded me of Drakkar Noir in certain notes, but less intense. I find the dry-down too weak and unexpressive. Longevity and trail are moderate. I see it more as a daytime scent for intermediate seasons. It’s not a bad perfume, but I admit this chypre family isn’t my style. From Liz Claiborne, I still prefer Bora-Bora.
