Citrus Splash

I just received my package for Citrus Splash this morning! WOW! Hany got it right once again! Initial spray you get a very sweet mandarin orange note.As some people have said on both the website and the review below me; it is a sweeter orange. Like a candied orange. Surprisingly it does work a lot nicer than Tom Ford's opening. But after a few minutes, the orange fades into the background. It is still present, but then this is where Citrus Splash shines! Where the clone aspect kicks in. After the opening, it is all Mandarino Di Almalfi baby! I am talking pretty much 99% spot on with the 1% being the sweeter orange opening. Citrus Splash projects very very nice from start to finish (I have yet to experience the finish as this one is still going strong 3.5 hours after application.) The one thing I cannot get over is how precise this smells to the real deal! I saved about $200 ish because of Citrus Splash! This is probably my favorite citrus freshy! Pair this with a crisp white shirt and a open buttoned dress shirt, a pair of nice blue jeans, and your favorite shoes. Alexandria Fragrances is on a roll! I also received a sample of Monarch (Clive Christian X for Men clone) which is excellent! There is no page for that one, but that one is another great fresh fragrance! 12/10

Yes, this is a Tom Ford clone, of one of my favorite fragrances from his house. It does a very good job of impersonating Mandarino di Amalfi, but to my nose, it is a little bit more creamy. Somebody said it resembles orange candy, which is pretty accurate. It is like an orange creamsicle ice cream pop. It is definitely not a bad fragrance, and smells quite good. I actually layer this with my bottle of Mandarino di Amalfi to make it last a bit longer. Also, as we all know, Mandarino di Amalfi smells amazing, and is a perfect summer time fragrance for a day out on the boat or the jet ski, but it doesn't quite have any lasting power, but Citrus Splash lasts about 5 hours on my skin after sweating in the sun and having a dip in the ocean. Good fragrance,and definitely allows me to stretch my bottle of Mandarino di Amalfi.

Summer Simplicity: realistic citrus blend creamified and amplified with neroli. A slight aromatic herbal accord helps avoid the dreaded ‘bathroom cleaner’ effect. Smooth composition, no jagged edges or clunkiness. Easy to wear, unisex (as citrus and neroli are quite genderless) but the herbal notes might skew it just a bit masculine. Recommended!!

Very fresh citruses mandarines, orange and Bergamot made with obvious fine ingredients project perfectly throughout the summer heat and last for a long time. It is one fragrance that is although niche quality it’s easy to wear and appreciated by a variety of audiences. Longevity is at least 8 hours

This smells fantastic, it reminds me of a ADP type profile. Natural, bright and perfect for summer. I had another clone of MDA (Just Jack), and CS blows it out the water as far as quality of scent profile.
