A underrated cheap uplifting fragrance
It's one of those fragrances which actually surprised me with how good they smell.
It opens up a bit fruity but not in a overly sweet and more fresh way.
The top notes actually disappear pretty quickly and give you a forecast of what that fragrance is all about - the aquatic and tea notes.
As said the mid notes are all about that very fresh, uplifting and super light sea and tea notes.
It's a fragrance which is so light and bright that you want to wear it on a very hot summer day to give yourself a fresh and uplifting breeze. It's also great for the gym or any situation where you are close to other people and don't want to annoy anyone around.
The drydown is basically the mid notes combined with a woody note, which create a very peaceful mix.
The closest scent I could compare it to would be Ck One from Calvin Klein, although Light Essence Bright feels for me even more light than it.
When it comes to the longevity and sillage, it is very similar to CK One, so unfortunately it's not long lasting, and the sillage is okay.
So is it worth buying?
If you are looking for a fragrance for hot weather, the gym, or maybe you are often travelling by airplanes then absolutely. It's cheap and it's just great in it's category.

A super-realistic rose fragrance
Let's just start that review with a big WOW.
If you love roses as much as I do, you will be in love with that fragrance.
The smell is a super-realistic representation of a rose, just like you would smell a real flower. Nothing less, nothing more. It also ends how it started, so there is not much diversity.
It's a really good for layering with other perfumes or just to put on if you would like to smell like flower shop during a warm summer day. I would suggest to layer it with Jeanne en Provence Néroli Intense, if you like neroli.
Pricewise it's super cheap, I would even say that it's undervalued comparing the price and the quality of it.
In my opinion it's a must buy for everyone who loves the smell of roses, for both just layering or wearing it separately.

Affordable Neroli Scent
If you are a fan of neroli, and don't want to spent much money, then you should definitely consider buying it.
There is no big philosophy behind it, it's just good for what is was created for - neroli in a bottle.
It appears to me in a soapy and both fresh and sweet floral and a citrusy way.
It's not overly natural or fancy, but it's a great price value proposition, so keep that in mind.
If you love flowers and would like to smell like a real flower shop for a very cheap price, I would consider layering it with Tea Rose from the Perfumers Workshop, which is also very cheap.
The sillage is not that bad and it last an average time on the skin, like 3-4 hours.
In my opinion, definitely worth a try.

A simple warm office/business scent
What can I say...
If you know other fragrances from Hugo Boss, you will not be surprised by the "simplicity" of the scent. It opens up with a mix of ginger and citruses - for accuracy mandarin orange and bergamot, but at least for me the mandarin orange is much more noticeable here. The dominating ginger makes it feel warm while the citruses gives it the freshness. All three of the notes create a good balance between them making it a masculine though a bit simple opening which is easy to like.
After a short period of time the middle notes start to appear giving you also a glimpse of how the fragrance will smell for almost all the time till it completely disappears.
The ginger will still be noticeable, but in a more citrusy way. You will also notice the maninka which is a fruit from west Africa. The easiest way to describe the smell of maninka in this fragrance would be by saying 'Imagine the smell of a red oriental fruit", you will most probably be pretty close to the actual smell of it. It gives it a hint of sweetness but pretty much blends with the rest of the notes. The next note will be lavender, giving it some freshness, elegance and masculinity. The final note I am getting from the mid notes is leather. I must say that it appears in a quite interesting animalic way, adding also some more masculinity.
The drydown is pretty much a blend of the middle notes with added woodsy notes, but still in very balanced proportions.
To summarize up, I would describe it as a both warm and fresh masculine scent, which would greatly match any business situations but could also be used as a signature scent.
It's very inoffensive and rather for men that don't want to stand out with their fragrance or annoy anyone with it. I also wouldn't suggest it to people under the age of 20 because it's a rather mature scent. The longevity is unfortunately poor, making it last for something around 4 hours on my skin. The sillage is also weak, lasting for about 3-4 hours. I personally don't find this fragrance anything special, but I think that some people may like it even a lot.
