Reminds me of an eau de cologne

This reminds me of an eau de cologne; 4711 sprang to my mind. Just an impression.

I got flurries of all different citrus fruits, a bit herbal lavender which is gone very quickly, softened with musks and something very sweet. The notes say caramel but what came to my mind was a touch of a sweet vanilla.

I'm not keen on grapefruit, finding it quite sour. I get a bit of grapefruit pith and zest.

To me it isn't all that strong, is rather artificial, hasn't got noticeable florals, has a vague muskiness to it, and the vanilla popped off quickly. The citrus notes held up well but ended up smelling a bit unclean on my skin.

I don't dislike this but prefer more complex perfumes for myself; maybe it would work as a light summer aftershave for my brother although I think it is too expensive.

I have seen reviews calling this a barbershop type of smell but I associate barbershop with a very early Old Spice that my grandpa used to wear in the '50s and '60s so something quite complex and floral; this is way more simple than the old barbershop smells from my childhood.
