Wasn't an instant love for me since it's quite a balmy vanilla in the base (almost like fem hand cream), but the verbena sparkle makes up for it several fold. Whereas the edp is a very rich and powerful version of the dna, this is the better balanced imo, and far more suited to the warmer months. Doesn't have the same push as the edp, but it's a small price to pay for the added versatility. For anyone just getting into the brand, this and Pour Homme edp are a must. They simply blow most modern releases out of the water. The complexity and blending are just next level by comparison.

Kind of old school.. very different but appealing.

From the first spread, I'm liking this perfume. Very nice. I recommend it to everyone.
