What a chemical mess
I was trying and trying to understand and like this one but with no success. Initially i found it very formal, strict office scent, masculine, but there are so many artificial things in it. Reminds me to Fahrenheit OG and Dsquared He Wood(i don`t like both) if i add some stincky WC cleaner like bleach.
Bottle and atomisers are bad, cap is like fake LEGO block. Because is not good lasting, i used it like surface or cell phone cleaner. Thanks God, the bottle is already empty!

A pleasant fragrance
This is a great fragrance, similar to D&G PH, I enjoy more the Police version as it's a little spicier than D&G. It last a long time on my skin 8-10 hours. For the 9 Euro price I paid for a tester this is a bargain. Give it a try if you like D&G PH and you want something on a low budget. I can't say anything in regards of the bottle or package as they are simple, not great not bad.

Neither "Sting" nor law enforcement officers.
Even if the name might convey that. It's possible that "Sting" would have worn it when he was still the leader of the band "Police" if it had come out at that time. The scent is somehow "melodious" - just like the band's songs.
I could also imagine it on "law enforcement officers" in blue. Discreet, also conveying seriousness, fresh AND warm at the same time. It's all in the mix! Spicy green basil, bright citrus fruits, aromatic woods and spices such as sage, rosemary and juniper. On top of that, delicate and "herbaceous" floral scents, namely those of the apple tree and real lavender.
In the "deeper layers", darker and softer woody accents can also be sniffed out, which gain casual elegance from tart fig leaves and a hint of musk.
I would say... a slightly avant-garde all-rounder for a number of occasions and all seasons. "Important": don't be fooled by the stated longevity and sillage! Both are completely sufficient to get you through the day smelling good. Even without dragging a long perfume trail behind you :-))

Nice scent for office or everyday, lavender, grassy and sandy notes. Modest projection, but it lasts for a long time.
