Victorinox's Swiss Army Classic Red is an interesting take on the classic Swiss Army formula. It's a hybrid fruit/aromatic fougere that tones down the citrus of the original in favor of fruity red apple notes while keeping the same herbal, floral and spicy notes as the original. It also adds in a slight touch of vetiver to smooth everything out. Sweet red apple, lavender and mint are the most prominent notes here. Older users may not find it having the same appeal as the drier original due to the sweeter fruit note.
This is great for warmer weather and outdoor activities. It's pleasant and refreshing as the original but with a bit of deeper nuance. Performance is good and the bottle has a great look that will actually remind you of a Swiss Army utility knife, so much so that I can't believe this wasn't used for the original.
This is a pretty versatile mass appealing fragrance that could be used almost anywhere. It's unisex and performs well. Really can't go wrong here. Recommended.
