Kankuro, I'm echoing your words, this men's (!) perfume (!) competes at best with 8x4 Masculine or AXE for men.
Ordinary, flat, unremarkable, that's what comes to mind. Every man who walks by wearing this scent can pass go without having to pay me 5000,-.
Nothing special tickles my nose, the citrusy opening still appeals to me, but everything that follows smells like fallen asleep feet, frozen fries, vacuum-packed pebbles, fully glazed windscreen...
I have no idea where you get the 50% from; in my view, they would at best be justified on the price tag.
I'm sorry, I promised to make an effort in commenting, but after about 30 minutes, I unfortunately smell nothing anymore, I'm de-inspired, and should I perhaps pull something out of thin air now?
That's just not my style.
My rating system is as follows: 50% is the average. Anything above that is "good" to "exceptional/divine," and anything below is "bad" to "unpleasant." That's why I gave it 50%, because Cologne Noir is pure average/boring :)
