The Parfumo community can be quite harsh sometimes :D
In my opinion, a score of 6.7 is too low for this fragrance. Yes, it’s not a standout highlight in my eyes, and yes, it may not be something "new"/"special," but where can you even find that on a regular basis anymore? All the fragrances that have recently entered the blue store haven’t sparked any Aha moments for me. In fact, I found most of them mediocre to poor. I also don’t compare fragrances based on others in the line, by brand, or by price, but primarily by scent. And I don’t care if it’s a flanker or if it has a completely new name. On Fragrantica, this fragrance has a score of 3.96, which would correspond to a 7.9 on Parfumo. But enough wondering...
To me, the scent is fresh and citrusy, and above all, masculine. Not really shower gel. And thank God it’s not like a toilet cleaner, such as Bvlgari Man Neroli. It’s not mega modern, but rather old school with a modern twist. I would recommend it more for those in their late 20s and up. YSL Y, ADG Profondo, or Sauvage smell much more synthetic to me than this one. In a comparison test with a young lady, this one even won against YSL Y and Profondo. I was surprised myself. I thought it was just me.
In the first 1-2 hours, the perfume is constantly in my nose. So, it has very strong performance. Therefore, don’t spray too much. It can quickly become overpowering. After that, it decreases linearly, and after about 6 hours, it’s pretty much gone from the skin. On clothes, it lasts significantly longer. All in all, it’s a good average for an EDT. The poor sillage and longevity that many complain about here, I can’t confirm. It’s quite surprising that it varies so much. Maybe a batch problem? Reformulation? IDK. For me, this fragrance sometimes lasts longer than an EDP from other designer summer scents. Let’s see what the new perfume has to offer. It’s already available at Müller for the MSRP. They just don’t have the tester yet :D.
The bottle serves its purpose, even though I don’t like this plastic cap. It doesn’t match the heavy glass at all.

I completely agree with you, a solid scent with good performance. I've only received positive feedback so far. This fragrance is a great example of why you shouldn't take the reviews here too seriously :-)
