...surprised that it is rated so poorly here...

After Jeremy constantly advertises his office scent and I happen to be looking for one as well, I decided to test it in the office environment. I had previously been put off by the rather poor rating here. I had already tested Dior Sauvage and Aventus Creed, and I couldn't understand the good ratings for those.
After spraying it on, it was quite intense, but my nose didn't shut down, so that was a good sign. Then I smelled a fruity fresh scent that gave a very clean and somewhat soapy impression. The Ambroxan was definitely noticeable, but the dosage was much more balanced than in Sauvage. A somewhat disturbing bitter citrus note lingered until the end. I would have loved to smell a subtle sweetness to round it off (like with pineapple); then the scent would have been perfect for me.
Office for Men is, in summary, a good office scent that lasts throughout a whole workday. I am surprised that it is rated so poorly here. Probably the expectations of the "Parfumos" were set very high. I find it significantly better than Dior Sauvage and about on par with Aventus Creed. However, the price is exaggerated for an office scent.

Sorry, I don't mean to be a know-it-all, just to avoid any future confusion: the scent by Creed is called Aventus. It has nothing to do with Advent :-)

I would also consider around €50 for 100 ml to be reasonable, like others here. It's an office scent that you should be able to wear every day, so the price should match, and the fragrance shouldn't be as "overbearing" as a niche scent. Yes, the marketing is already...

...given the mentioned conditions, a 6.5 is still a great result.

Cheap packaging, designer quality, niche price, narcissistic marketing. Find the mistake.

Cheap packaging - check
Designer quality - that's clear
High price - check
But what does that have to do with the scent? Isn't that what this page is about?

The scent is rated poorly out of principle, it has nothing to do with high expectations.
