Started expanding my collection based on internet reviews- this was the winner
In the sense I chose to buy it- bad decision
This was, at the time I owned it, one of the most over hyped and frankly bad smelling perfume in my collection, and in my honest opinion, over rated.
I was naive enough to believe the reviews here (and other specific forums) , and payed the overpriced EDT from ebay, but boy, was I disappointment.
Smells like 90's clothes softener/ perfume.
There was an old perfume in the late 90' s, early 2000' s, with a shield in the middle of the bottle, it was a rectangular bottle with a round bronze/ worn out shield (can' t remember the name unfortunately) , and it smelled exactly like this (and it was cheap as hell) .
I pick up the citrus notes, but the rest are just generic.
Projection- arm' s length
It lasts around 3 hours and then dissapears (strong the first hour)
But in reality, only old nostalgic people like it and buy it- I mean I sold mine to a 60' s yo, that was reminiscing about his happy days from the 80' s and 90' s and how this was reminding him of that.
It is good to smell such stuff, to see the evolution, in quality but also taste.
I noticed most old 'praised' perfumes ended up being smells for today' s detergents, or other house hold cleaning items (to a certain degree of replication) .
So I would expect in 10- 15 years some of today' s praised Guerlian, Versace, or Channel etc. hand soap, or mall toilet Perfume (looking at you, L' Elephant)
BTW- Hugo Boss Collection, Patchouli is similar, but more focused and less clothes softner- I' d get that if I' d be hunting Patchouli
