Great scent, nothing revolutionary but very welcome. I’m obsessed. You can smell the tangerine, the spices (they add a spark), and the amber. Perfect for everyday wear. Lasts 5-6 hours, a win for the price. Reminds me of Perry Ellis 360 Red with a very orange touch of Clinique Happy. It wears well and smells clean. Not the eighth wonder of the world, but a solid everyday companion. Give it a try, you’ll like it. Yes, PLEASANT. Note: 7.5/10

I should clarify my updated take: it’s a hot, spicy freshness, similar to Mercedes-Benz Intense but a bit less intense than Dior Fahrenheit. Very interesting. I don’t usually make comparisons, but that’s how I explain the vibe. Cheers.

I have to say I’ve refined my opinion: it’s a hot, spicy freshness, like Mercedes-Benz Intense and a bit less than Fahrenheit by Dior. Very interesting. I don’t usually make comparisons, but that’s how I explain the vibe. Cheers.

I loved it in cold weather, day or night. Its trail and longevity scream seduction and charm. The woody notes with the amber make it top-tier for any occasion. I recommend it to gentlemen 25 and up.

I tried it today, but with so many samples, I lost a bit of focus. What I remember is that I liked it at first sniff. I’ll try to come back soon to test it again.
