Super youthful, ozonic and fruity, smelling of melon, lemon and apple; rich and cheap, ideal for 14 or 15-year-olds, comes alone or with shower gel.
One of my first fragrances, sad to see it run out. Fresh, clean and fruity, suitable for all ages and occasions, versatile and 100% masculine. Fair price, fun and active vibe. The downside: lasts a maximum of 4 hours on my skin (perhaps longer for others), needs reapplication and the elegant bottle empties quickly. Could be a classic, performs like an ADG. Recommended blind if you don’t mind the longevity too much.
One of the first fragrances I owned, one of those that hurts when they run out. Totally fresh, ozonic, clean and fruity. Suitable for all ages, daytime wear, versatile for both formal and informal occasions. 100% masculine. Fair price. It conveys the vibe of a fun, relaxed and active person. The only downside is longevity; my nose detects it for a maximum of 4 hours (though it lasts longer for others), so you have to reapply and the elegant bottle empties quickly. It has everything to be a classic; it could fulfil the same role as an ADG. Recommended blind if you don’t mind the longevity too much; decent quality.
One of my signature scents. Fresh, fruity and beachy aroma for being with your girl by the coast. Projects for 1 hour and lasts 3-4 hours on skin, very poor performance.
Very clean and fresh, an exquisite scent, fruity and sweet that your partner will certainly enjoy. Ideal for daily use on sunny days, can be worn in the heat, perhaps at a brunch.

Good for summer, sporty and fresh. You can detect melon, apple, patchouli, lily, green lime and sandalwood in that order. It doesn’t change much; it reminds me of Nautica Voyage but rougher, with more patchouli, less sweet and an extra citrus touch. Perfect unisex, I liked it more than the women’s version because it has more character and lasts longer (I’m a woman). Simple bottle, clean lines, heavy glass of good quality, metal cap. Longevity over 3 hours in heat and humidity, sillage right up against the skin.
Good for summer sport, fresh melon, apple, patchouli, lily, green lime and sandalwood in that order without muting much. Reminds me of Nautica Voyage but rougher, with more patchouli, less sweet and a more citrusy touch. Perfectly unisex, I liked it more than the feminine version, it has more character and longevity (I am a woman). Simple bottle with clean lines, heavy glass and good quality, metal cap. Longevity over 3 hours in hot and humid weather with a skin-close sillage.
Square and linear aroma at first, very spicy and mature, but once worn it becomes pleasant, very citrusy like lemon and youthful. I liked it.
I liked it, but very soft for me, it would benefit from more potency, reminds me of Paris Hilton Man which has no review here. The blue bottle.
Mine, my husband’s. Sometimes I use it secretly, haha… But on my skin it’s a bomb, it really makes me stand out. The base notes are identical to several women’s perfumes, but here they sound much more intense.
My husband’s perfume. Sometimes I use it secretly, haha… But on my skin it comes out so strong it makes me conspicuous. The base notes are similar to several feminine perfumes but more intense.
Relaxed, fresh, soft yet awake, ready and confident.
