ABCs 123s
Purchased from : eBay
Price paid : $12 / 0.48 fl oz
Format : spray
Method : Right wrist
Okay, so being a fan of both regular and platinum versions of Explorer, I figured hey, what could it hurt to blind buy a couple tall vials of their rarely-spoken-of cousin.
Man, this a crazy cousin.
The first blast is icy and clean but that subsides within a literal 5 seconds. What follows is a stark similarity to Nautica Voyage (which I hate) and what I'd describe as diapers or a nursery. There's some kind of non-descript mixed fruit aroma that reminds me of poopy diaper and gummy snacks. Some ripe and melting banana. The diaper changing room/nursery smell persists and the cologne does not morph or change.
For me this is one of the worst colognes I've ever smelled. I maybe did not expect to fall in love with it, but I did not expect this to go into the stinker hall of fame. Wife loves it. Go figure. I may try to send it back and order something else. At least it was cheap. I'd almost rather wear Nautica Voyage (puke).
