I didn’t touch this one for years...

... because of all the hate it gets. However, I was in Ulta yesterday, looking for something new for the collection. The woman working the fragrance department there sprayed it on a test strip, and handed it to me.....

...WHAT?!? THIS is what’s getting all this hate?!? How?!? Why?!?!

i LOVED it...

I sprayed it on the hand to be sure; and I looked around some more (at the Dior Homme Cologne, in particular)... but kept sniffing back at the hand... I’m LOVING this... I think I’m gonna grab it... “SOLD!!” I told her... but it turned out that they had none left in stock... wtf?!?! NOOOOOO!!! So I left, and headed home... “I HAVE to have it” I thought to myself.... I called around... and around... and around...This hated fragrance must be selling pretty well, no? No one seems to have it in stock... I FINALLY found it at a Sephora, and made sure they put it (the LAST one they had in stock) on hold.... then I drove 17miles to get it.... THAT’S how much I wanted it...

It isn’t unique, by any means... but it’s a FANTASTIC scent, in my opinion... it’s FRESH; a citrus-intense, very soapy feeling, very masculine scent. Pretty linear, but not bad by ANY means... the opening is a strong, citrusy, soapy vibe... it projects to an easy 4ft radius, and pulls back as it ages on the skin, becoming a “blue-ish” scent... (maybe that’s why it gets all the hate?) ...sillage is good; it doesn’t fill a room, but you can tell when somebody is wearing it nearby... and longevity is an easy 8hours+ (on one spray to the wrist, to say the least).

It’s becoming hard (nearly impossible) to find these days.... give it a few months to a year, and wait till it’s out of production... THAT’S when the people are gonna talk about how wonderful it is.

I’m glad I got it when I did

crazy story : it happened the same to me, girl at the store was popping fragrances, then I asked which one was that, told me Dior Homme Sport "but the old one", they did not have the old one on sale, only the new one which did not smell like it at all, told me "but we have it online, just be sure is the one with the white logo". bought it, got it, love it.
Yes, performance is bad, just a couple hours, but it is so godd4mn good for Christ´s sake, probably great for high heat like Dior Homme Original (got it from overseas)

Honestly, it happened to me the same thing with that one. At first it didn’t pack me and now I got one from 2013 and it’s very good:)
