Children's Apricot Shampoo?
First of all, this scent is marketed as a unisex perfume inspired by wanderlust and adventure. Those familiar with the old classics from MCM and their luggage might expect a heavy, perhaps somewhat pretentious, opulent, slightly leathery fragrance. What you actually get is a very sweet, almost childishly delicate apricot-floral scent. There are certain hair salon/hairspray vibes, but the good old Cromer did start his luggage empire from his wife's hair salon, so it fits.
All in all, it's a fresh, floral, light everyday scent, characterless, rather feminine, becoming more interesting in the dry down. However, I have heard people say that I smell like someone wearing One Million, a comparison I cannot understand.
The marketing text and what is delivered are worlds apart.
Unfortunately, the scent comes across as rather cheap; it could easily be found under the name Garnier in the children's shampoo section at Rossmann.
The bottle and packaging, however, appear quite high-quality; especially the bottle is really well made, particularly the print.
Conclusion: As an MCM enthusiast, it's nice to have in the perfume cabinet, otherwise, it's a typical candidate for the guest bathroom; both men and women can freshen up with it, it doesn't offend anyone, and the bottle looks pretty.

I found the reviews/statements worse than the scent; there are definitely better, higher-quality fragrances from MCM, but I still thought it was pretty good.

I thought the scent was just okay, but the longevity was poor. However, the bottle is great!
