Summer cheapie
Bought this in after shave format. Smell is pretty nice and naturally doesn't last as long, some 5 hours when applied very heavily. From start to finish it is a pretty simple cocktail of notes but pretty damn nice.
Opens with lemon, kinda reminds me of Versace Pour Homme, one of my summer classics.
As the lemon starts to fade, lavender and sage aromatic touches, green apple, cashmere woody notes and a very predominant vanilla / tonka bean note consists pretty much of the entirity of the fragrance, to me kinda similar to Versace Eros or Eros Flame with that apple - vanilla - citrus - woods combo. Some say it is close to Invictus as well but i don't think so. I really enjoyed that one for a while but no longer, doesn't have pretty much anything in common with that one.
Quite synthetic as well. I don't know why they classified it as animal / animalic / animalistic, it completely lacks that, does not possess in the slightest any animalic nuance. I don't note nor the moss or patchouli at all. But anyway, the thing costs 8 bucks, what are you gonna expect from it? In my opinion, you can do a lot worse than this for this budget. Maybe bit more presence, projection, longevity, but it is one of those things you can buy 3 bottles and not kill your wallet at all, and in hot climate it's one of those scents is not much noticeable but when the heat goes up starts projecting a bit more and whoever smells you...
Pretty juvenile as well, good fragrance for youngsters, same as with the Axe EDT's. You can easily get the amount of money it costs and use it as a signature scent. Better than smelling like deodorant, washed clothes or like shit.
Bottom line: Don't expect a beast mode from it. I think it's worth it.
