Ok, this is an ADG, inspired cologne, can’t pinpoint the exact one but closer to parfum to me. Most of these UAE fragrances need to macerate for a few months to reach their full potential. Because they ship right away after manufacturing. Also, everybody’s skin is a little bit different oilier skin tends to hold onto fragrance longer than dry skin. Look most ADG’s are $100+ if you like that DNA this is well worth the money. Even if you have one of the ADG‘s, you can save that for a special events and use this every day.
