Wonderful but moderate performance
I really like this fragrance though I find the projection, sillage and performance for my batch (batch code: 62T40YE) to be moderate.

It starts off very strong but quickly fades. Projection for an hour or two then becomes a skin scent for another 2-3 hours. I could still just detect it on clothes at ~8 hours.

I agree with most that this is a wonderful scent - it's a sweet incense-like woody smell. I do get the burned sugar note as in marshmallows and cotton candy, mentioned by some reviewers.

This would be my ideal scent if it just lasted longer on me.

Very nice and lasts all day
I highly recommend this (My batch code is 9213) and the price from discounters is very good.

I love this scent and it lasts and lasts - easily a full work day. You'll smell this on clothes for days.

The sillage and projection are good though not overpowering.
I smell vanilla and amber that is slightly more on the males side of unisex.

One of my best buys and will probably get a backup bottle as this seems to be getting harder to find.

The Emperor's New Clothes
I don't want to keep sounding like the 'Perfume Grinch' and spoil everyone fun & hype over this fragrance but I just have call this the way I see it.

I wanted to believe all the hype - I wanted to experience the wonder that I've heard about...

I'm expect to hear from all the Perfumistas that I must be anosmic to ISO E Super or that it's more of a pheromone that works on the subconscious and that they get complements all the time when they wear this... Yeah right!

I've tried this multiple time with varying amounts of overspray and noone has noticed anything... Granted I can smell something if I spray myself right in the face or stick my nose right onto where I just sprayed (but even then it's very subdued)

People raving about this and even saying this is their signature scent just goes to show the power of self deception and wishful thinking... (and maybe the power of the imagination)

I'm still open to using this for layering and improving the performance of other fragrances - I'll be trying this out over the next few days...

I think a line from the fairy tail where the boys shouts out 'He's wearing nothing at all' is quite appropriate for this fragrance...

Batch 0636075 is very average
I'm disappointed after all the hype with my batch (0636075). I was expecting something wonderful after all the praise from influencers and blog reviews...
It's very subdued - projection & sillage moderate.
Last just a few hours - all gone in 3-4 hours..

Doesn't seem to be much better even on clothes

I've got to assume recent batches are much weaker than before or this is just massively overhyped.

I find the scent and performance of this makes it perfect for an office environment - won't offend anyone (if they can even smell it!)

And what's with the bottle?

My office scent...
I have batch 20G199C with the new magnetic cap.

This is a fresh citrusy scent with moderate projection and sillage. This makes it ideal for me as an office scent - it's reserved and inoffensive.

People may smell you as you walk by but it stays mostly close to the skin after the first hour or so.

I don't get anything like the performance or projection of others in this blog but I'm ok with this given my office use.

It does remain on clothes for longer and I can even detect it fainty on clothes the next day if I spray well
