not very strong for a parfum. top notes don't really play a role here. I was expecting a burst of spicy citrus. it goes straight to middle and base. smells like an old man from middle east . atomizer, when lightly pressed, emits water-gun type stream of fluid. bottle cap is overly tight. nice packaging. cool, it comes with a travel atomizer. at least it doesn't smell synthetic. it's just not a scent you want to smell it again and again.
