Plump and sweet
I really wanted to try this fragrance because I have the Wanted by Night and I like it very much (because of its fruitiness, which is unique). The others in the Wanted range are similar. What's more, Jan (Eau de Fragrance) has been celebrating the fragrance on YouTube almost every day since it came out and says he can't understand the negative reactions (some of which are due to niche expectations and demands), which made me curious.
Immediately after spraying it on, however, I have to say (sorry Jan) that comments like "far too sweet" are absolutely right. The fragrance has no fruitiness at all like the others in the series, I can't perceive any complexity or depth either, just penetrating and far too strong sweetness. This may suit the tastes of some teenagers, but they can easily get this kind of fragrance and quality much cheaper. And if I'm a teenager and have little money, I buy a Ck One or the excellent Cool Water or the Jil Sunder Sun, you get something very decent for very little money!
My association with this fragrance is as follows: I'm standing in a crowded swimming pool on the concrete floor and it's terribly hot. I see an ice cream stall with these bright yellow and bright red boxes with the picksweet crushed ice juice inside, which is off-putting from the color alone. There's now a third variety, which is neon yellow/green, and someone has spilled some of it - that's exactly the smell that comes to mind when I smell this test strip.

From ugly duckling to swan
The drydown is absolutely amazing, a wonderful mixture of smoke and lemony freshness, smells very masculine. Very long lasting, 10/10 points.
But: the opening is unfortunately artificially citrusy and comes across as very artificial and intrusive,...

The little brother
The little brother of Armani Eau de Nuit Oud: the opening is also beautifully spicy and masculine - wonderfully stimulating and noble, although it lacks a little of the depth and elegance of EdN Oud, which has more expression/character and is a touch...
