What wearers say

“The reviews below really weren't kidding, the opening of this smells like butt cheese. I was taken aback by how awful the opening was and it persisted for at least the next 30 minutes. After the drying down, it smells like a light sandalwood with the infamous pickle note that is in fragrances like Santal 33 or Paco Rabanne Million Gold. I really wanted to like this (almost blind bought) but I really dislike the opening enough to keep me far away from this.”

“For me it’s meh. Very woody and herbal. Nothing at all like the original Explorer which is a fruity freshie. Performance is good.I bought this along with a few others frags, all delivered together so I was testing things out on paper, this one overpowered everything else. Also, after about 15 minutes I noticed something in the room that smelled very close to Santal 33, finally I figured it was coming from the test strip I used for this frag. So not only is this have beastly performance it does indeed smell like Santal 33 when it starts to dry down.”
