SmellyPete

Seems like I'm going to be an outlier yet again... My batch (9GAB) is not a good performer...

It starts as a subtle, light and gentle fragrance for a few hours then fades to almost indetectable - for me it doesn't project well or have a noticable sillage except right at the start.

I can just still notice it on clothes the next day but as light background smell.

I do like this the smell but for me it's an intimate scent detectable only up close - not that it smells that same but it's the same kind of experience I get from D&G The One - nice but not great if you want to make a big impression when entering a room and more for intimate close type of occasions.

(I realize that this is very different from what most people report but what can I say - this is what I experience)

I use this as an office fragrance and for me it's perfect for this - subtle, inoffensive and a bit classy - kind of old school.
I see this as a scent for a more mature man

My batch is N20611A.
This is a fresh citrus summer fragrance that I find very enjoyable... Very clean and fresh...

As mentioned by many it doesn't last so be prepared to respray after a few hours if you want it keep the wonderful smell of oranges and lemons going.. I think I probably get maybe an hour of sillage and projection before it goes to skin. Within 3-4 hours it's completely gone.

It's been said this is the best performing JV fragrance - the others must be really terrible!

I also get the light sprayer that some have mentioned - you'll need a good number of sprays before you'll have enough.

Luckily this is reasonably priced at discounters so spraying lots and often is not a problem - I have a backup bottle so I'm good for quite a few summers.

This is definitely one for t-shirts and flops at the beach (or when you're just dreaming of the beach in these covid times or when it's -20C and snowy outside).

I also spray this on when I go out for exercise so I think this would make a good gym scent.

I see this as unisex though its marketed at men

My batch says it was manufactured in March 2021 on the box though no code on the bottle that I can see.

Performance is good though I find sillage and projection is moderate after the initial period. It projects well in the first hour or two.
I can still smell on clothes more than 12 hours but only detectable very close.

I hear others mention it smells like Invictus Aqua - I must be the only persons who does not have Invictus so I cannot comment directly. What I would say is that the smell is not unique - it's a fresh sweet aquatic that will be enjoyed by most people.

Because it has a pleasing 'generic' smell it's quite versatile but probably better suited to warm summer days - I do plan to wear it to the office where I think it'll be ok after it dies down after the first hour.

I found this for a very reasonable price at discounters and am pleased that I got this.

BTW: There is something not quite right with the cap with my bottle - it doesn't click on properly and tends to come loose easily... that said the bottle is nice though not the most unique (quite minimalist!)

My batch code is 38S0006.

Now this fragrance definitely lives up to its hype..

If you like fresh aquatic masculine fragrances then you like this..
This is one of my first fragrances and it's one I keep going back to - just bought a backup 125ml bottle so I'm into this for the long haul..

I find it very versatile - I wear it in all seasons and most situations - it makes a great office fragrance providing you don't go crazy with the sprays .

It creates a moderate sillage and projection for a couple of hours so you'll not upset anyone in the office and you'll just smell fresh and clean anyways. I find most people like this a lot.

It lasts for a full work day for me though it does get close to the skin after a few hours. You'll still be able to smell on clothes the following day.

There is a reason this is favourite of fragrance influencers - it's good and a definite classic

This is one of the few fragrances that I agree with most of the reviewer about its performance - it's very good.

My batch (92131) last all day - I catch a whiff of this even after 5-6 hours and it stays on clothes until you wash them.
The projection & sillage are above average and very strong at the start - it's a bit too strong and bold for me to wear to the office until maybe after the 1st hour.

Don't overspray or you'll upset everyone around, and you'll need to be an iris scent lover! (I wouldn't blind buy this if you're unsure about iris)

For my simplistic nose that is all I smell - I happen to love iris so not a problem.
I can see this being a scent a women could also wear given how floral it is.

This is one of my favorites that I reach for when I'm feeling miserable and in need of a boost.

It's also quite reasonably priced at discounters...
