What wearers say

โ€œGreat value and a nice fresh clean sorta smell. The opening isnt great (too harsh for my nose) but the drydown is nice clean and fresh. Very laid back, smells like an airy somewhat creamy floral laundry detergent. Only complaints really is the harsh opening and the performance isnt great. You could really wear this anywhere and its great value, I got 300ml of it for $60AUD (~$40USD). Overall a really solid white floral clean type of smell that I only wish lasted longer and pushed off the skin more.โ€

โ€œThis just smells like bitter lemon peels and cold water, dont let the notes fool you, and it lasts just like if you put water on skin, 2-3 hrs and no projection. Timeless and influential cologne but not worth getting in 2025.โ€
A member of a leading fragrance community
โ€œI've just gifted a new bottle (dated 2025) and to my surprise, it's pretty much the same as the 2 old bottles I have in my collection (1 bought 15 years ago & 1 vintage with the old logo). Maybe the opening on the new one is a bit less sharp and the base on the new one is just a little thinner, but it pretty much gives out very similar wearing experience. Longevity & sillage are both pretty good.This one is not ruined by reformulation at all, it's pretty much the same scent as it used to be.โ€
