8Scent 2Longevity 2Sillage 6Bottle

Does it really belong in the TOP 100?

The purchase was a leap of faith based on the Top 100 rating. With a score of 8.7, that's quite a number. Many well-known and significantly more expensive, even exclusive fragrances are trailing behind.
Is that justified? If we only consider the pure scent, it can be understood. Yes, it truly deserves to be higher up. But is that really all there is to it, and is it sufficient for this ranking? For me, there is definitely more to it. And that's where it falls short significantly.
My collection isn't particularly large. About 45 fragrances are in it. From expensive to cheap. However, none has less sillage. Every morning, my dear wife can smell me when I come out of my bathroom. This morning, she asked in surprise if I had forgotten to apply any fragrance. That was the first minus point already noted. Noticing this, I asked her after 2 hours in the office (we work together) if she could still perceive the scent, as I could no longer. The answer was clear, no, she didn't smell anything anymore. This had never happened to me with any fragrance before. Moving on. The bottle is not badly designed. However, it is poorly made. The small plastic emblem is crooked, and the cap is far too loose on the sprayer. The outer box also has a decent design. However, the material is too thin, and the closure of the box is not meant for frequent opening. This is a downside for me, as I keep all fragrances in their original boxes.
Conclusion:
I believe that only the bare scent does not justify such a high overall rating. A mix with different weighting would be more appropriate.
Who benefits from the low price if the scent is only noticeable when applied, especially since there are even cheaper perfumes in my collection that accompany me throughout the day much longer.
So I've vented my thoughts. But it probably won't change anything.

It's the same for me as for @Terra: "By the way, it lasts all day and projects well." So I would describe the sillage and longevity as excellent. I suspect both descriptions are correct. I've often tested fragrances with the same name but different quality (even returned some new purchases). By the way, in many cases, it's not the manufacturer's fault-just a side note. Putting Green has convinced me in every way.

Terra, longevity, and sillage really have nothing to do with the quality of the scent itself, but they do relate to the overall quality of the perfume. I wrote this comment because Putting Green is in the top 100 men's perfumes. For me, a perfume product is never just about the scent. It also includes longevity, sillage, and the quality of the bottle. The reviews of a car don't just focus on its top speed either.

You can evaluate the bottle, longevity, and sillage regardless of the scent. Longevity and sillage have nothing to do with the quality of a fragrance. For me, it lasts all day and projects well.

First of all, thanks to everyone who discussed here. About Harry, whether it's 10 or less, the top note is nice, but that's it. I think we all agree on that. And it's great that I helped someone avoid a **MISTAKE PURCHASE** here.

Thanks, I enjoyed reading it. And this fragrance won't be going on my wishlist anymore...

I completely agree with you. I also see the scent much closer to Capucci pour Homme than to Eau Sauvage. For those looking for the matching shower gel and deodorant, there's a great offer there too. Plus, the sillage of Capucci pour Homme is definitely better. Maybe just give it a try; the price is right as well.

The men in my circle who I've given samples of this fragrance to would definitely agree with this and probably endorse it. I've received similar feedback from them. Since they're not on Parfumo, I'll go ahead and submit a bottle on their behalf. ;)
