A really easy answer for this one, if you didn't like Pure XS by Paco Rabanne you're not going to like this. The longevity on it and projection actually live up to its reputation. I found a lot of the "influencer" shills that were promoting this were saying how heavily inspired this was to a lot of 80s fragrances (especially drakkar noir) and you'd need to have a very wild imagination for that. This would be for older people 40+ and it's not the easiest fragrance to pull off so don't get the largest bottle that they make of this, your grand children will probably be the ones finishing that. I'm glad I tried this in a department store or I would have been furious if I bought this.
