  1. I received this as a gift a year ago. I started using it reluctantly because there were no comments and the price was rock-bottom; however, the scent surprised me and I found it quite characterful. It’s a classic fougère with a masculine vibe, and it’s earned me several compliments without me expecting it. Obviously, due to its low cost, the longevity is poor—after three hours, it’s nearly imperceptible. I’d buy it again just because I think the fragrance is really well crafted for that price.

  2. I got this as a gift last year. I tested it reluctantly since there were no reviews and the price was ridiculous, but the scent caught me off guard; it has a lot of personality. It’s a classic fougère, very masculine, and I’ve gotten several compliments without expecting it. Of course, since it’s cheap, it doesn’t last; after three hours, it’s almost gone. But I’d buy it again because the aroma is really well done for the price.
