What wearers say

“Batch 2021This perfume is doing great, even in 2022, Longevity easy 7-8 hours on skin with 5 sprays, on clothes even longer, Sillage and Projection are moderate to good, projects strongly (3-5 feet) within 3 hours after I pulled the trigger, signature worthy.”

“I agree there is surely resemblence to 212. Quite a bit. Smells like another version of it infact. Probably a part 2 sorta version. But i like it, smells different at night. Great for spring/summer.Edit- after using it for a week, i must say its quite an underrated scent. It is long lasting even in the summers of south Asia, smells absolutely top notch. I am in love with it. Great, in offensive, pleasent, uplifting and great for office scent.”

“This fragrance smells like cut grass, in the first 30 minutes.I don't smell the watermelon or anything else.The dry down you might get a hint of cinnamon.Would not buy this again for any reason.Scent: 5/10Value: 6/10Sillage: 5/10Longevity: 5/10Creativity: 5/10Versatility: For anything & everything, at any time!”

Sillage

The original has more prominent fruity top notes and a creamier, more complex tonka sweetness in the base. Cheek For Men delivers solid performance with comparable longevity but lacks the sophisticated balance and slightly softer projection of the designer version.
