What wearers say
“Love this! smells like a twist on "Versace Blue Jeans"I did a side by side test today because something felt incredibly nostalgic. Sprayed this on one arm and my trusty $20 bottle of Blue Jeans on the other.Honestly? The drydown is practically identical. It has that exact same sweet, powdery, fizzy cola-soda vibe, just with a slightly more modern, synthetic chemical blast in the opening. If you want to smell like a 1994 high school hallway but with beast-mode performance, this is it. Save your wallet and just buy the Versace!”
“This is not feminine at all. This is straight up Citrus, fruity fresh scent best suited to a man. It smells like a less sweet version of a blue talisman and in the dry down it also has some nuances of creed aventus from black currant, musk and ambroxan.All in all it is a mass appealing DNA with good performance and longevity. Honestly it’s criminal to complain when you get such quality at dirt cheap price.”
“The initial blast of guava at the very beginning is a little off putting.. it's HEAVY guava. But once this starts to dry down it's a gorgeous tropical sweet fragrance. I wore it out in 95° weather today and it was projecting like a beast. The dry down is definitely worth it!!!!”
