Model maintenance
It has nothing to do with the original. Straightforward without much frills. Just: fresh, woody, masculine...
Dior goes with the times, it has to be compatible with the masses - then the cash register is right!
A Mercedes SL from 1957 has also not much to do with the 2020 model. Only the star and the open top have remained...and yet it is an SL and it has its followers. Not everything that is not like it was in the good old days is bad on principle.
If you like oldtimers and can afford it, you will buy the original!
I like the old model, but even this one...

The godfather!
Marlon Brando...the godfather walks slowly and uplifted head through the garden of his summer house in Tuscany, surrounded by his bodyguards in leather jackets. I associate that with this fragrance.
Herbaceous and spicy with a Mediterranean flair, that's what I think is best. He conveys a certain self-confidence as if he wanted to say: "Nothing throws me off track so quickly, I have everything under control...I'm in charge here".
A fragrance for the seasoned man from 30...

Envy's illegitimate son
If the fragrance had appeared 15 years ago, I would have typed "blind smelled" on a flanker of Gucci's Envy for Men. It's going in that direction already...Could also be "Envy Cologne" or "Envy Spring Break".
The notes are completely different, but I can't deny a strong similarity.
At the beginning a bit lemony, but not very long, because after a short time it becomes resinous...until after some time, slowly a slightly sweetish veil is added. In this combination it becomes very close after about 3 hours until the pleasure has evaporated after about 4-5 hours
In the first hour, the Sillage moves in the range of an arm's length and then quickly quietens.
Altogether, in my opinion, a successful and newly discovered version of Envy for the warmer days of the year.

Febreze breaks new ground
I can confirm the freshness, woody...joah...but then rather damp and somewhat musty wood, but still not unpleasant. Reminds me altogether something of Febreze laundry scent.
Can you wear it? Personally, I'd rather smell a woman.
