The one
From some very specific perspective: its the percect fragance.
what if somebody in their 20’ or 30’s just want to pick an unoffensive fragance and use it all day, all season from beach to office? Probably pick the wrong one, because the whole youtube recommends the Sauvage for this, but well, its not a valid pick if you want an unoffensive one, because the sillage is more than a mile.
Okay, okay, than why this, soo musch similar fragrances out there!
Well, if someone want a safe one with 100% acceptance in office and a short-ranged longetivity to not frustrate your colleagues, wou can pick the YSL L’Homme (but it has a goodguy vibe), or the Montblanc Legend Spirit (But its a little sweet and bubblegum style) or the Prada L’homme (but its a much more professional vibe)
And what if you just want the fress citric smell in the sunshine and a woody smell at the night/winter? Well, than you are in the right place.
The Reversed is really simple yet wonderfully complex. Simple, because your smell is a fresh-citric-grapefruity if the weather is hot, and the drydown its a grapefruity-woody fresh dream. If its cold, the whole fragrance is different: after 20mins, you have no grapefruit, just a little freshness, but you have the woods. Everybody like it when you wear it.
Happily(for me) its sillage is really bad, you can smell it from not more than 20 cm, but its the reason why you can use it everywhere without every situation: When someone come closer, the smell is enough. When you walk somewhere, you are not terrorize people with 1-2 m sillage.
The longetivity is tricky: you not feel it everytime when its there, but its there for a good 6 hours.

The old guy
Im gonna be really unpopular here, but its a bit outdated in 2020.
Let me explain: The smell is fresh and fruity, like an apple pie. Souds cool, right? Yeah, but actually no. It has the typical “this is a parfume with the smell of an apple pie” vibe, and its the reason I feel it outdated. Just think about it, the most of the time if someone pick a fragrance, you think about a feeling: his smell is so dark/mystic, he smells like the ocean, he smells like a gentleman, he smells like an orange garden, etc. But no, here you dont feel something like “he smells like an apple pie”, but much more feel the “he uses a fruity fragrance.” - and the difference is here: it feels as a parfume first, and you realize the ingredients just after this feeling, and its not the case with the newer releases.
The fragrance itself a very safe one, but this is not one of thr compliment monsters. Its because the sillage is really weak even is you spray the whole flanker on yourself, and the longetivity not even help out this one, because after the first 3 hours its a skin-scent with 5 cm sillage.
Happily not all bad tho:
The weak sillage and the fresh apple pie smell helps to use it everywhere in every season, fron the office to the gym.

Lack of character
First thing first: its not a bad fragrance.
Sadly its the all positive things to say about it. The bottle is boring (but its okay for that price), and the juice is.. well as boring as the bottle.
Its a fresh, safe pick, and from the base notes mostly only able to smell the woods in it, but not bad, also you can pick thousands of fragrances with the wood/fresh/cheap specificstion so its only one of them. At this price point, all of the Mexx lineup (eg. Forever Classic, Man, Black, Look up now) or Banani’s fragrances beat this one, so in my opinion its the one to skip.

The different aquatic summer vibe
Close your eyes. Imagine yourself on a beach, alone. The sun is shining, the sand is soft, the sea is stoking your feet, the wind is warm, the untouched nature is around you, and you just stay calm, relax, and enjoy it.
This fragrance gives you this vibe, and you can feel it perfetly and immidiately when you smell it.
The fragrance starts fresh, extremely cool and intense with heavy notes of aquatic freshness with grapefruit. After a few minutes you can smell the woods and some mint (?).
The Aqva Marine is a bit different from the standard aquatic fragrances, because the neptune grass. Its a bit more sharp, a bit less boring, a bit more masculine.
The performance is really tricky.
The longetivity is 8 hours - you cant smell it after 1-2 hour, but because you probably get the compliments too, its there, but after another 1-2 hours sometimes you can smell it again. The sillage is moderate, and its perfect for me. Not the Sauvage type “Wow, there is a guy somewhere wearing sauvage in this 5 floors high building”, and not the one with no sillage. If somebody can talk to you, probably smell it, but if you walk in a corridor, noone gonna smell it after you walked away from there, so its useable in the office.
Sadly, there is a downside too: there is something allergetic thing in the mix, so before a blind-buy, make sure in a store, its okay for you.
Overall its a really good one (I prefer it over the Amara, Atlantique or the original one), but its a summer fragrance, so sadly its not an all season one.

So this was a random pick for me because of its price and a shop recommendation.
Wow. I never ever get so much compliments on any fragrance like this one. Not on Sauvage or Luna Rossa Carbon, not on Aqua di Gio, Not on Bvlgari Aqva, not on YSL La Nuit or YSL L'homme, and not on Lalique White or Boss reversed. And here is this not-so-hyped brand with this not hyped fragrance. And every women wows on this. Not just my GF, not the colleagues, but random girls on the street or at the mall. Its unbelivable.
From the scent itself:
This is a really versatile everyday scent for younger guys (20-35). The overall feeling is a bit 'good guy'-ish with the fressness and moderate sweetness, so its able to replace YSL L'homme for me. It can be used in the office or nearly everywhere (but its def. not a night-out scent) and better for hot weather (but it has a bit woodiness if you use it in the colder days) The sillage is moderate (its perfect for me & office), everyone realize you wear a fragrance, but nothing frustratingly hard presence. The lonegetivity is 5 hours on me.
Fragrance: 8/10
Sillage: 10/10 (perfect - its there, but not annoying)
Longetivity: 6/10
