Pros & Cons
- ✅ It exudes an alpha-male vibe that earns many compliments, especially from the ladies.
- ✅ The dry-down scent is pleasant; it's a great fragrance if you give it enough time for the strong opening to mellow out.
- ✅ The performance is impressively good, lasting eight hours or more with great sillage.
- ✅ Lasts a full workday on most
- ✅ Works from office to evening
- ✅ The sweet drydown is memorable
- ✅ Draws positive reactions from others
- ❌ The first impression isn't that impressive; the harsh opening takes some getting used to.
- ❌ The intensity of the first whiff screams for attention, not in the most appealing way.
- ❌ It can be overpowering in hot weather, so caution is needed during summer.
- ❌ Too linear for some tastes
- ❌ Lacks the depth of more complex fragrances
- ❌ The tonka drydown reads as powdery to some
- ❌ Not special enough to justify a full bottle
