  1. At first, it reminds me a bit of L’Eau d’Issey thanks to that yuzu-like citrus (less piercing and sweeter), until within a few minutes it turns into a blend of the two. Although it lacks the quality of previous versions, considering how current formulations are, it’s a decent option if you’re tight on cash or looking for something fresh and non-invasive for everyday wear. Regarding performance, it lasts 3 to 5-6 hours on my skin depending heavily on the temperature; it projects quite well (for a citrus) for about 1h15, then settles to a skin scent. As a side note, it lasts much longer on clothes and is noticeable the next day. Also, at the same store I bought it (Mercadona), they have their own version called ‘Capítulo Marino’—it’s not identical but I like its scent better (it doesn’t have that slightly sweet note that doesn’t fully convince me in this Victorio & Lucchino version) and it’s literally half the price. In summary, these men’s waters don’t seem as bad as some reviews paint them; keep in mind they’re 150ml for under €10, and unfortunately, some designer fragrances I’ve tried recently don’t beat them in scent or longevity, so for daily use I find them very acceptable, plus you save money to invest in a fragrance that’s truly worth it. Cheers.

  2. At first, it reminds me of L’Eau d’Issey due to that yuzu-like citrus (less sharp and sweeter), until within minutes it blends into something between the two. While it doesn’t have the quality of older fragrances, given how formulations have changed, it’s a solid choice if you’re on a budget or want something fresh and non-invasive for daily wear. Performance-wise, it lasts 3 to 5-6 hours on my skin depending on the temperature; projection is decent for a citrus (about 1h15), then it becomes skin-scented. Interestingly, it lasts way longer on clothes and is noticeable the next day. By the way, at the same store I bought it (Mercadona), they have their own version called ‘Capítulo Marino’—it’s not identical but I prefer it (it lacks that slightly sweet note that doesn’t work for me in this Victorio & Lucchino version) and it costs literally half as much. In short, these men’s waters aren’t as bad as some reviews claim; they’re 150ml for under €10, and unfortunately, some designer fragrances I’ve tried lately don’t surpass them in scent or longevity, making them very acceptable for daily use while saving money to invest in something truly worth it. Cheers.
