What wearers say
āVery good smell. The amber note makes it very addictive and the citrus makes it give off a Italian beach vibe. The opening and initial dry down is very good, fresh, citrusy and ambery making it perfect for a summer day. Only issue is that it doesn't last long, and the dry down is somewhat synthetic. It is still worth the 28$ and highly recommend.ā
āI bought this at a Zara Store in Spain for about ā¬13.It is a bargain indeed. It resembles Invictus, but it is worthy of consideration on its own merits.Invictus is wonderful and so is this.It is very appealing with seductive fresh and floral aspects and a lovely sillage.I have received compliments 7 hours after applying it.I do not find it to be a copycat or inferior clone of Invictus at all, nor puerile in its appeal.A very good buy!ā
āIt is a likeable perfume, to me it smells like a colognŠµ, definitely more on the men's side.It's fresh but not too sharp and leave a very nice trail. It is also original as it doesn't quite smell like others.ā
