Pure white musk! If you’re looking for something clean, sweet-and-sour, and charming, this is it. It’s very similar to Natura’s classic Homem, but this one is higher quality and hooks me more, even if it costs a bit more. It’s super clean, without any cheapness, with that typical creamy, soapy base. I got compliments wearing it yesterday. If you catch it on sale, buy it without hesitation.
Almost a clone of Bvlgari Aqua, but watch out: for my taste, among fresh fragrances, this is quite potent and long-lasting. Don’t over-spray or it’ll give you a headache and bother the people around you. It’s not bad at all, and for the price, I think it’s a steal.
The magazine lists only three notes: Mint, Cardamom, and Musk. I don’t detect any citrus or woods. It has excellent mint that, combined with cardamom, creates that classic blend found in other scents, but here it feels more intense. After two hours, all that’s left is that super synthetic musk. For the price, it’s ideal for the gym or a shopping trip. The longevity is also very respectable. Scent 8, Price 10, Longevity 8. Recommended, yes.
Am I the only one, or do all fougères smell the same? If it smells good, it’s a critical aromatic, watery vibe; I think they’re very similar. This one is highly recommended: the first time I smelled it, I was impressed and wanted to buy it on the spot. It reminded me a lot of Perry Ellis 18 at first and Versace Pour Homme as it dried down, but of course, much softer. It’s one of my favorites from the brand, dominated by mint and citrus, and must have some aquatic accord somewhere that gives it that touch.
