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. It’s also widely appreciated and considered one of the most liked fragrances around the world.
- ✅ 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.
- ✅ Fresh and versatile scent suitable for many occasions
- ✅ Easily recognizable and crowd-pleasing profile
- ✅ Good longevity that lasts through most of the day
- ✅ Strong sillage that makes a confident impression
- ✅ Widely available in many sizes and concentration options
- ✅ Excellent scent profile, great price
- ✅ This is what all flankers should be like! Retains the Issey Miyake DNA while remixing it just enough to give it a slightly different vibe.
- ✅ One of my favorites… sharp citrus opening with leathery notes emerging an hour into wear.
- ❌ 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.
- ❌ Very common, so it may not feel unique
- ❌ Might be too strong for close-quartered settings
- ❌ Some find it overly synthetic in certain formulations
- ❌ Not ideal for very hot weather due to projection
- ❌ Price can be high compared to some alternatives
- ❌ The scent is a 9/10, but the juice is way too diluted.
- ❌ Low profile. Low price. Low performance. Good gym scent.
- ❌ Sadly the Nutmeg is overpowering everything else on my skin.
