Mature not dated.
Guys, look... Just stop. Wear this. It's ok. Believe me. Everyone is so bent on not wanting to smell dated that they bypass this in favor of newer releases. Even if they secretly really enjoy wearing this.
I think the main reason people run with the notion of this smelling dated is only because of the date it was released. If this were a recent release, by some niche house, I think it would be far more accepted.
Now, don't get me wrong, this is a very mature smelling fragrance. But mature and dated are not one and the same. Tom Ford's Beau de Jour is mature. Not dated. Dior's Sauvage Elixir is mature. Not dated. I can go on... All of which are recent releases.
So, at the end of the day, it's really up to your nose and not your eyes ( ...dates and batch codes...) to determine what's right for you; in terms of fragrances.
Personally, if you like mature scents---barbershop scents, in particular---i think this will beat out a lot of fragrances far more expensive and recent. Especially if you're into dressing sharp.
Out of all my fragrances this falls into, at max, my top 30 favorite fragrances. In fact, I'm wearing this right now and I keep lifting my shirt and smelling when no one's around. That's why I thought I would write this brief rant. Lol.
Forget the date. Go for it. Trust me.
