Never again
I tried it again today, after almost two decades of not going near this perfume.
I don't like it. It reminds me of those cheap "perfumes" sold in supermarkets, which smell like insecticide or toilet bowl cleaner...
It's impossible to like this perfume or compare it to any other fragrance... no, and it's nothing like perfumes like Polo (Green) RL, Tsar VC&A, Paco Rabanne pour Homme, etc.
Even comparing it to Lacoste (original) is unrealistic.

The other Yuppie scent
This perfume appears in the closet of the character Patrick Bateman (portrayed by Christian Bale) in the movie "American Psycho" (2000). This movie alludes to the Yuppie generation of the late 80s, with the story taking place in 1991.
So they were wrong to place this perfume, launched in 1996, in a story that alludes to the late 80s, early 90s.

Still a true powerhouse
After about 30 years, since the last time I used this fragrance, I decided to buy the last "version" still available.
It remains an intense, powerful perfume, with the aura of the 80s. It remains a true powerhouse, aimed at an age group, I would say, from 35 years old upwards.
It is a unique fragrance that competed with YSL Jazz, VC&A Tsar, among others, from the Yuppie generation of the late 1980s.
It's in my collection and will be used on special occasions.
Xeryus by Givenchy ... I highly recommend it for lovers of good perfumery. Nothing that compares to current fragrances, synthetic and excessively sweetened.

A masterpiece
One of the best fragrances ever. True to the 90s, however, always up-to-date and magnificent.
I used it in the 90s as a signature fragrance and it stayed in my rotation forever.
There is a great emotional side, great connections and memories associated with this perfume.

Boosting your day
I'm a fan of this fragrance. The first time I used it was in 1998, having been offered on my birthday by an ex-girlfriend.
At first I was surprised by the different and very fresh aroma. I was already regularly using Lacoste Original pour Homme (1984) and expected something similar.
It is in fact a fresh, unique aroma, as some experts in the field say - with a synthetic note.
However, I highly recommend it. It is and will always be part of my collection, not only from the nostalgic side, but also from the quality that it still maintains today.
