What wearers say
“The scent is alright. The problem is the projection and longevity, it’s gone in less than two hours. Even weaker than the basic cheap blue ones. Compared to Purpose 50 which is the opposite and probably the longest lasting in the game this is a joke. Bottle produced january 26 but anyway it should be stronger than this. Probably need to sit until january 28’.”
“I don't hate it, but I think you got to have a personality to match this. I'm more gourmand fruity rose girly, while this punches you in the face with a fresh laundry smell. Soapy. Good for some days, might be too strong for the office (typing this at the office regretting the last two sprays).”
“Really enjoying this fragrance so far. It is slightly spicy at the opening but then mellows out to a lightly sweet musky powder with a little creamy woods of the sandalwood. Will be wearing this a lot, good for any weather with above average sillage and performance.”
