A half an hour cologne
This is a generic citrus scent, fresh yet soothing. It's not the typical sharp citrus like in Aventus clones, it' more on the gentle, full, sweet side, which might be read as insipid. It’s pleasant, but the risk of being generic is that you can encounter this smell from a variety of places, including toilet bowls. I had a cleaning hanger inside the toilet that smelled similar.
Sillage is OK initially, though it fades quickly, and in the process the scent becomes blander. On skin the projection lasts about 30 minutes. On clothes it lasts a little longer. The drydown is nice, though.
If you want something slightly more refined and better performing, Acqua di Parma Colonia Essenza is an option. Givenchy Gentleman Cologne is another one, as are Aventus and its clones. Or you could just blast CK One.
