Good performance from a generic freshie
Preston starts out with a strong apple scent but dries down into a generic fruity-floral freshie, with an emphasis on fruity. At this point, it smells pretty synthetic. There's nothing unique here - there are plenty of fresh/fruity/synthetic fragrances out there which lack a strong aquatic component (which can be good if you don't like aquatic fragrances). I got a similar impression to Chrome Aqua and Maritime Journey.
The question then becomes, why buy a generic fragrance at this price where there are similar and much cheaper designer scents available from discounters. Preston has one huge advantage - its longevity is much better than similar designer scents I've tested. I still had a mild but noticeable scent bubble out about 2 to 3 feet at the 12 hour mark, which is very good for a freshie. If you like this type of fragrance, I recommend you give Preston a try if you are also looking for better longevity.
UPDATE (1/18/2025): I've completed testing all of the Guy Fox fragrances available in their two sample sets. One set is for the "Founder's Reserve" Collection while the other contains all their standard releases. Here's my ranking of all of them, with a few notes:
First group, ranked in order of my preference. These are the top Guy Fox fumes in my book - full bottle worthy, with Nightcap being the best:
1. Nightcap
2. Fairway
3. Vince
4. Nelson
Second group, no rank or order, just grouped together. Nice scents. I like them, but not enough to buy a FB:
Aspen
Primo
Mikul
Jefe
Preston
Third group, no rank or order, just grouped together. OK, somewhat generic. Mediocre performance for some:
Palmer
Tyler
Marra
JP
Fourth group. Just plain awful. Was almost a scrubber for me:
Riviera
