I hesitantly grabbed this one off of FragranceNet as it gets a lot of hate. I like the edt LNDL, but don’t think it lasts long enough (as does the rest of civilization). I saw the 50/50 love/hate propaganda that surrounds it, and decided to give it a shot, as I can’t find it anywhere that I can test it out in person.
When I gave it the first blast, I was pleasantly surprised. I get a very nice, very spicy feel in the opening. Not the same as, but similar to the Spicebomb Infrared, or maybe even Fahrenheit (remember that I’m saying “maybe” or “kind of” in the comparisons). It opens with this spiciness, and slowly creeps into a sweeter feeling version of the edt. Not bad at all. I enjoy it a lot.
Performance is great on my skin as well. The projection bubble is a tight 2-3ft radius, but the sillage lingers just long enough, and longevity, although close, is a solid 8hours.
So if you can find it to test, by all means give it a shot. If you’re thinking of a blind buy, you better really enjoy the edt, and remember that the opening has a very red feeling, chili pepper-esque spiciness to the opening. After all, the community either loves it or loathes it.
