Generic sweet creamy freshie, but not bad.
Personal: 7/10 - It's not bad but I find it uninteresting.
Mass appeal: 8/10 - It's a good daily fragrance but some may find the sweetness offputting
Performance: 7/10 - It lasts a bit longer than other freshies, but not quite a whole workday.
Value: 4/10 Unnecessarily expensive for a generic smelling freshie.
Uniqueness: 3/10 - It feels ununique. Similar to Le Male Lover. Creamy fresh lotion.
SCORE: 58/100
Full bottle buy? NO, does what Le Male Lover does but for more money.
Blind buy? YES, it's a fairly safe sweet freshie, but it's expensive.
Recommend? NO, particularly generic for the price.
Date night? YES, bright and fresh but sweetness may evolve weird on certain skins.
Office safe? NO, it's mostly fresh but the creamy sweetness could definitely be cloying.
Pros: Wonderful fresh lotion scent. Fresh and bright. Performs pretty well.
Cons: Expensive. Not entirely unique, kind of generic. Not memorable.
This is a sweet, creamy, but fresh fragrance. I don't enjoy the lotion-ey overtones that are present and I think if it focused more on citruses, musk and woods it would have been better. Maybe the fig plays in kind of weird, but the sweetness layers and evolves in a kind of weird and definitely a kinda offputting way. I don't think I'd really reach for this fragrance, but it's not bad by any means, so it's hard for me to rate it lower.
It's not bad but it's not amazing. Yawn.
