Both harm themselves: the one who promises too much and the one who expects too much. Gotthold Ephraim Lessing
Somehow this scent or this cool contrast, whatever... reminds me of Joop Wow. The sweetness and the sillage are almost identical. I've been searching for the black pepper for three hours now, but I haven't found a single grain. I found the synthetic sweetness to be excessive and it reminds me of cotton candy; I can't detect any apple. Maybe I'm always eating the wrong Smith Granny variety, which isn't sweet at all. For a low-budget fragrance, it's certainly not bad, but nothing more. It is clearly inferior to Joop in terms of longevity. The opening is also too artificial and goes into a penetrating note that not everyone will appreciate. Unless they are 14 years old and discovering the world of fragrances anew. Somehow I thought a house like Mäurer&Wirtz could do more than just bring this dupe to market. For a fragrance pioneer, that's not really much. For a fragrance novice, it would be a remarkable achievement.

It's not in the direction of "Dior - Sauvage," but rather "Joop! - Wow": Cashmeran, cardamom, and vanilla dominate. Average; a solid drugstore scent.

A bit of Dior Sauvage, a bit of Azzaro Chrome. Somehow I felt like I knew this scent already several times. Attributes are mediocre.

Typical aquatic "blue Adidas shower gel" vibes with a sweet-floral finish. I paid €12 for 30ml in 2018 - highly recommended, no-brainer!

I really like it. A bit fresh, a bit sweet, a bit creamy.....it fits perfectly.

Beautiful fresh-aquatic scent. It reminds me of the beach during my vacation in Turkey, where I wore it every day.

Please a surprise bag but only gummy candies and white mice. And caramel. But kids, that's unhealthy - at least eat an apple.

The EdT didn't do much wrong, but nothing particularly well either. So unfortunately, it's just average. The Signature line is better!

The first scent without the father of the original brand. The bottle is very beautiful, hopefully the fragrance is as good as the contents.

A beautifully floral and fruity spring scent with a light vanilla touch.
Younger people really can't go wrong with this.
