... it seems that I've been really kind with the scent rating! :D
I (absolutely) don't like it either, but my reasoning is that some people who like sweet-bombs may be quite enthused.
On me, it lasted at least 12 hours (unfortunately) and it was a hot day.
Yeah, there's no chance I'm buying this. I will be reviewing Reception tomorrow, Eucalyptus 20 the day after and then Purpose 50 last. Once those are done, will have to source more 2025 samples.
I'd rate it closer to yours if the opening was where it ended up at, but since the quality completely deteriorates, I can't keep it anywhere near a 5. Every other mainstream akigala scent is done better than this and almost every Erba Pura style scent is as well. Tropiques which I mentioned in the review is a scent that I rated a 3/10.
I'm rating the longevity based on what I'm perceiving currently - I'm about 2 hours in and the sillage is gone. If it's still conceivably strong by the time I go to bed, I'll revise up to an 8 or 9. Otherwise, I typically give a longevity a 7 if it falls somewhere in that 9-10 hour range.
