Horrible if you're unlucky
There are some fragrances that have an offputting note to some people.
I know I'm in the minority here, but that's just my experience.
This fragrance has quite a strong resinous note that doesn't bode well with me. It's like olibanum or elemi but much worse (I'm not opposed to the aforementioned). I'm getting a headache from this fragrance because of it.
Without that note it would be fine, but nothing ground breaking. It's like a slightly sweet woody aromatic. I actually quite like the woody and aromatic notes, but this one resin note I just cannot get past.
Too bad.

Without question worth the price
It's great in the air.
When I smell it up close I smell a huge load of Iso E Super and it is quite sharp, but that's not how other people will smell you and it also gets more mellow the more it gets into the drydown.
It is a musky sea salty watermelon scent that is very mass pleasing.
Full disclosure, I am writing this review because today on the street I was stopped by two women that wanted me to write down the perfume I was wearing. I sprayed it on 6 hours earlier and they were passing by at like 5 feet distance.
Even though I think it is not perfectly balanced when you put your nose right up to the skin, I think it is incredibly pleasant at a distance.
It's hard to imagine to want anything more from this perfume considering the price.
TLDR: It's a great long lasting and projecting summer / spring scent when you smell it in the air.

Batch Variation?
I love the EDP, in terms of scent and especially in terms of performance.
But the issue with this one, for me it disappears within 3 hours.
The scent itself is nice. It starts of like a showergel and then becomes a little bit more aromatic and interesting with the sage and geranium note. Nothing crazy but very pleasant in my mind.
Too bad it doesn't last at all, especially for a parfum.

Pretty Strong
It has huge performance and sillage, you should be aware of that.
I don't find it to be sweet, more like dry oud and rose mostly.
And you do get the oud (but very clean), so if you're in company of people who might be sensitive to such scents I would suggest to go easy on the trigger or to layer it.
That's actually the best use that I've found. I use it as a base oud layer and spray something more mainstream on top, for example Montale Arabians Tonka (where I don't get any oud honestly).

I love it.
For the summer, it's musky fruity fresh. Just try it, it's not expensive. The only thing, it leans a little bit feminine to my taste but I almost always layer it with an Aventus style fragrance so that balances it out.
I can't describe it too well but I think that's a must if you like blue style fragrances like Sedley, Percival, Y EDP, Profondo, Aventus, Explorer, Sauvage, Bleu de Chanel, Chanel Allure Homme Sport.
