Light and fresh scent, reminiscent of a mojito with rum, perfect for all day. It’s a younger cologne, lasting around three hours at most, so frequent reapplication is needed. It’s not particularly bold and gets lost among stronger fragrances, making it suitable only for hot days. I prefer this flanker over the original, but its major flaw is that it fades instantly with a weak trail. Many CK scents suffer this, but it smells good and truly evokes a mojito. I won’t be buying it again due to these issues, though if it were stronger with a better trail, I’d consider it. Until then, I won’t miss it much.

Fresh and pleasant, with a youthful, summery and cheerful vibe, perfect for hot days. The opening is citrusy, effervescent and spicy; the blend of bergamot, cardamom and mojito smells brilliant. Gradually, the liquor appears, creating the illusion of a fresh cocktail, before a sweet, woody base note emerges. This phase lasts longer, finishing with a residue of sweet, ambered and woody patchouli and sandalwood. It smells nice, unpretentious yet effective. It’s for young people seeking something fresh without complications. Longevity and sillage are moderate, which is logical. Ideal for warm climates and daytime. If you’re looking for something fresh, simple and affordable, it’s a good option.

A good fragrance. I don’t think it’s made for a specific age group, though it might appeal more to those aged 20 to 25. I’m sure the patchouli and sandalwood (base notes) dominate for the rest of the day. I started using it in autumn and see no problem in continuing to wear it through winter.
