Masculine and beautiful

My absolute favorite fragrance. I love the soft apple in the opening. It lasts forever and smells incredible. I smell it on clothes until they’re washed. To me this is masculine and sexy. Be careful with the sprays though because you can possibly overpower a room with too many. I use about 5 and that seems great. I don’t like to wear this when the temperature is warm, definitely a cooler weather fragrance for me.

You could wear it dressed up or down. I love wearing it on fall and winter days with a hoodie because it’s so comforting.

Definitely have “Daddy issues” for this fragrance!!

Easy on the Trigger

Robust, masculine scent that gets cloyingly sweet/spicy and can totally overwhelm a room if you're not careful. This is one of those scents with an appeal rating that directly correlates to the amount you apply: it smells great in moderation but quickly takes an "appeal nosedive" if you overdo it.

I recommend this for use in chilly to cold weather and when attending an event at a moderately large indoor and/or outdoor venue. Don't be that guy who applies ten sprays and then walks into a close-quarters Manhattan wine bar that only seats a dozen people. Stick to 2-3 sprays tops - don't be a psycho like that Youtuber, CurlyFragrance, and apply 15-20 sprays. "Less is more" is the adage to live by with this fragrance.

Not my style

Personally, I think this one is dreadful. Too cloying, too synthetic, too sickeningly sweet. It comes across as an ambrox bomb. When I used to work as a fragrance salesman, I had to spend all of my day dealing with nuclear powered blue fragrances. Yes, I’m looking at you, Sauvage. This fragrance took me right back to those days. I’ll be the first to admit that I’m biased, I’ve never been a fan of ‘blue’ fragrances, and while this one may not officially meet that category, it certainly does to my nose. To put it bluntly, this is a fragrance I’d LOVE to smell on somebody else, but not one I’d want to wear all day. Wearing this for a few hours makes me want to go home and wash it off. Smells great on my clothes, though!

Personally, if you’re a younger man with a lot of confidence, this fragrance will work for you and set you apart. It has the same youthful energy that the likes of Sauvage do, but it’s so much more refined and unique, not to mention statement making.

Addictively Masculine

I was curious about Daddy but the name kind of threw me off to be honest, and man it didn’t disappoint. it’s an absolute gem!

The scent gives off a vibe somewhat similar to Layton, but Daddy takes it in a different direction. It’s sweeter, denser, and feels richer overall, while still maintaining a bold, masculine character. What stands out to me is how bright and radiant it is. It projects this sweet thick masculine cloud which people love.

The performance is amazing, Both the longevity and sillage are stellar. You leave behind an addictive scent trail which won't go unnoticed. I’ve found it to be versatile, It has a brightness that works beautifully in warmer weather, but the density and sweetness also make it perfect for colder days.

If you’re into sweet yet sophisticated fragrances with a strong presence, Zeus/Daddy is absolutely worth a try!

Masculine, bold, and incredibly addictive.

Delicious

Smells kinda like a mix of boss bottled,phantom and Layton but in higher quality.It definitely smells edible and the oud is very easy to like(nothing to do with stinky oud at all).Beast Mode performance.
Definitely amongst my top 5 by ath
With that being said,He has better fragrances in his Oud collection such as onyx,Oud noir and Morpheus hence it wouldn’t be my first choice
