Executive Order

In contrast to other reviewers, I find this to be a monster fragrance on my skin and pretty different from Zion. It opens with very fresh (watery) mandarin/orange that lasts for hours. This is accompanied by ambroxan's sweetness, giving a Tygar or Black Panther like effect overall. It's like the grapefruit in Tygar is replaced with a watery orange. Finally in the far dry down you get the metallic ambroxan smell from Zion. And by far, I mean 6 or 7 hours in. My nose doesn't pick up any leather. Only occasional whifs of slightly animalic ambergris smell, but I'd not call that leather. Excellent and versatile. Shines in the hot weather. Easily lasts 10+ hrs. Also, Alexandria claims this is an original and I believe that. It really doesn't smell like Zion or Elysium other than all three contain citrus and ambroxan. (Caveat = I haven't smelled Office for Men, so I can't assess similarity to that).

What a brilliant fusion of Office and Elysium! A perfect marriage of leather and blue; beast-mode performance at a reasonable price.

This is like Zion++ for me. Little salty, little more punch. Something I actually look forward to wearing.

i dont mind this fragrance, nothing unique to it. smells generic to me.

I get 2% Office for men and the rest is a weak clone of Elysium. I don't usually give bad reviews because I really want to find the best in fragrances I've spent good money on but this is a non-entity of a fragrance. Light and airy, pleasant, very poor performance, the bottle design is embarrassing and the sprayer is terrible. Combining Elysium and Office could have been a match made in heaven but this has the vibe of something you pick up for a cheap thrill for pocket change, not a moderately priced clone. For the money I'd wait for a sale on Office or if you really want a people pleaser freshie go for a week known compliment getting designer scent.
