I don’t even know where to start; basically, this is a terrible fragrance. The scent doesn’t stand out, the sillage is negative (I’d give it a -5 out of 10), and the longevity is minimal. I bought it thinking it was a lost gem like Gucci Envy, but turns out it’s new, and since I hadn’t seen it before, I assumed the opposite. To begin with: from what I could perceive, it’s 100% linear, with absinthe on top, sage in the middle, and cedar way in the back. The blend results in a semi-aquatic, slightly acidic scent that borders on generic; nothing novel or innovative, let alone good quality. This is proven by its extremely low sillage (barely noticeable on the skin right after application) and its short lifespan. It was clearly designed to be another mass-market product to sell big this year and then disappear; it won’t make history or appeal to experienced buyers, since someone with little experience will immediately notice its poor performance in longevity and projection; only a novice or someone buying their first fragrance might find it acceptable. I thought maybe it was due to my pH, but I don’t think so; comments on Fragrantica in English also back up my review, and one mentions it’s more feminine than masculine, which I disagree with—it felt really masculine to me. It’s a shame because, even if it smelled good, it would be useless due to its low projection and longevity. Unfortunately, it follows current marketing trends to the max, relying solely on the house’s past reputation, whose glory is long gone; as they say, ‘build a reputation and go to sleep,’ which is why I risked buying it blind and it was an outright failure. Suitable for ages 20 and up in any weather, but in the climate where people wear it, they’ll barely notice it. IT’S REALLY A SCAM BACKED BY A BRAND THAT HAD ITS GLORIOUS DAYS BUT HAS DEFINITELY LEFT THEM BEHIND, A DISGRACE TO THE CONSUMER.
