Pros & Cons
- ✅ Great scent profile with a fresh, spicy character that feels vibrant and well-balanced. Performance is excellent, with longevity exceeding 10 hours, along with strong projection and noticeable sillage.
- ✅ Amazing perfume. Works day or night, any season. I understand a lot of people like to hate on it because it is very popular. However I just love it, I could imagine wearing it forever.
- ✅ This is quite the compliment getter. I get compliments when wearing this wherever I go.
- ✅ I actually really like the EDP version. Essentially it’s the same but with all the harsh edges removed.
- ✅ The star anise and pepper are noticeable... the vanilla and nutmeg smooth it out, giving it a hint of creaminess.
- ✅ It is more spicy, darker, and has more depth (backbone) than the EDT.
- ❌ Foul stench! Made my husband scrub it off. He didn't like it at all and I absolutely hated it. Smells like an old man who peed his pants and tried to cover it up.
- ❌ while i understand the mass appeal, this is synthetic slop. one of the few fragrances that makes me nauseous
- ❌ Mainly a very strong and dominant synthetic dry wood plus random spicy notes mix. I also get a fresh and clean deodorant, shower gel, locker room profile vibe to it, which does not help making shine the other part of the fragance. This is not pleasant on my skin at all, makes me even a bit dizzy every time I catch the scent.
- ❌ Too ubiquitous — you'll smell it on the man behind you in line.
- ❌ Plays it safe when it could be extraordinary.
- ❌ Extremely common and ubiquitous.
- ❌ Can be cloying in heat or over-application.
