Minimalist and still smells so good!
I bought my bottle of Taxi for less than $10 USD. I had heard several praises on this particular fragrance on a couple of other forums, and perfume blogs. I have heard it likened to being a skeletal version of masculines like Drakkar Noir. I can see that resemblance, but I think it also stands on its own merits.
The fragrance may be minimalist...I do get some light citrus in addition to the notes listed above...but it is a good thing in this case. It's a budget fragrance that actually uses good ingredients. So, while the sticker price is cheap, the smell is comfortable and a bit elegant. Scent strength is moderate, drying down to a soft woody, lightly leathery tobacco fragrance. Quite nice.
Longevity on this one is incredibly good. I still had a soft skin scent 12 hours into my wearing...nothing heavy, but still noticeable.
Overall I think it's a great value, if you can live without the typical blast of top notes. The drydown on this fragrance is where the beauty lies, and I give it a strong 8 out of 10. Incredible value.
