What wearers say
“I loved the original as well but I love this even more. For me this is a deeper and mature smelling masculine fragrance while the original was a bit fresher to me. Performance is on a really high level: after 4 hours I sprayed on, projection is still pretty decent, it's definetely 8+ hours. I would use the original in the summer and spring and use this in winter/autumn season (or the whole year). Much recommended, worth the price!”
“I wish the opening lasted longer. I love the orange in the opening and the caramel mixing with the incense. I get none of that in the dry down which just smells of a slightly woody vanilla. If that opening and mid lasted longer this would be my favorite scent. My wife and coworkers seem to really love this in the air I always get compliments from it and it projects really loud so be careful.”
“I appreciate the dry down from this scent as it progresses through the day. The opening citrus comes off spicy and harsh over multiple wears, but relaxes into a caramel and slightly woody scent. What impresses me is the longevity of this fragrance that projects well into 5-6 hours, and even through 12 hours, I still get whiffs of it. It can be smelled as a skin scent all the way into the 22nd hour. It is currently my signature scent due to its playful scent and long-lasting performance.”
