Pros & Cons

  • ✅ A massive upgrade in that department (performance).
  • ✅ It's a crowd-pleaser for many.
  • ❌ Fans of the original may find it too sweet or Baccarat Rouge-adjacent.
  • ❌ I personally don’t like the direction it takes to solve the performance issue.
  • ❌ I just prefer the cleaner vibe of the EDP over this sweet flanker.
