I'm not a connoisseur, but this cologne has a very familiar opening scent. It reminders me of the JPG Le Male Elixir. Both have that sweet opening scent... perhaps it's the lavender? It also has a very decent longevity that will last me almost the working day. To some extent, I can relate as to why this perfume is highly popular.

When I bought this, I was really into iris fragrances. I'd read a lot about it and the reviews were out of this world.... but in all honesty I couldn't figure out when I would actually wear this. It straddles the worlds of classy and elegant, and comforting and cozy. It's hard to imagine cozying up with a lipstick scent, but it's hard to feel elegant with something so warm. I settled on Valentino Uomo Intense instead

It smells pretty strange when you first spray it on. It smells like a strong paint thinner or other similar chemical but once it settles in and dries .. it smells really good, at least to me… I will buy it again. I like it even more than Stronger than You (which I also like)

For grown men. A must-have.

I enjoy it, my wife loves it. Needless to say I wear it often. It's soft and give me about 4-6 hrs. of smooth longevity. Good for all occasions. I'd buy a back-up if it was still available here.
