The first few wears make this seem like the most generic fragrance ever made, but, after a few wears I ALMOST see that orange creamsicle reference the internet won't stop mentioning. The vanilla isn't as strong as Layton (Parfums De Marley), Gentleman EDP (Givenchy) or Spicebomb Extreme (Viktor And Rolf) but it's there.
Scent wise It has this spicy black pepper top to it, there's enough sweetness without this being boring or coming off as something only a teenager would want to wear. This has a beautiful depth and some sour orange peel like quality to it. The vanilla and cedar work together in an almost "powdery" sort of way. it's not overly "orange creamsicle like" but I get where people are coming from. It's got some complexity to it where I feel someone could use an entire bottle of it without getting bored of it.
I found this to be a mixture of a lot of fragrances. None will jump out at you where you can say this is a direct copy or clone. This could have inspired Versace Eros which released 3 years after. If anything this is like an early draft of a Givenchy Gentleman EDP where they improved Gentleman in every possible way.
I would recommend this to someone who is newer to fragrances, It could possibly be worn clubbing or on a date night. It's not the most memorable fragrance ever made but it'll most likely get some complements. For longevity and everything else with a sensible amount of sprays this isn't going to be a room filler and I wouldn't be surprised if I had to re-apply this at least once throughout the day so don't hesitate to over spray this one.
