Hei

To start off, I must say I owe an apology to this fragrance if that makes any sense lol. Hei by Alfred Sung is as good as any top line fragrance in my opinion, especially if you're comparing it to any of the “big name” Fresh type fragrances of the world. Now please stay with me when I say this is definitely a semi retro fragrance but in the best way possible, and I honestly re-stumbled upon this fragrance after purchasing it about two months ago in a surge of searching for new fragrances. As noted this is definitely a scent that I have smelled before but yet also haven’t smelled in any other fragrances that I have come across. For me this scent is definitely the late 90s early 2000’s vibe. I have to admit that when I first purchased this from eBay, when it came in I opened it and smelled only the opening of the fragrance and wasn’t too impressed considering it is a pretty light fragrance if I’m being honest, but those typically are the fragrances I like. If you are looking for a fragrance that you want to wear and it smells very pleasant and light and could be used in any occasion (casual, work, dates, hanging out with friends, GYM, etc.) then this would definitely be a great choice. This fragrance is at its best for me in the mid notes and even better in warm weather which is probably why I have been enjoying this fragrance more in the summer than when I first received it in mid spring. I wore this today during work and had a sweat going pretty early in the morning around 730-ish and it was vibrating off my skin like a beast. My reason for trying this fragrance out for a second time was pretty much to see if it was going to go on the chopping block and it either being given to my brother or maybe a close family member or a friend lol, but it’s crazy to think now this went from literally just sitting in my dresser, to sitting next to some of my other fragrances on top of my dresser which is where I keep all of my favorite fragrances. Yes as far as familiarity goes, the only reference that I could think of was one of my older cousins I think might have been wearing this back in the day, and me being the young buck I was, I just thought he smelled good and had this “clean and cool” vibe which I always thought was nice and wanted to have myself one day perhaps lol. I should also note that my deodorant of the day was old spice swagger and the two of these scents complemented each other amazingly. As mentioned before at 7:30 this morning I already had a good sweat going and the old spice swagger projecting off of me with the AS Hei made for a day of fresh aromatics. NOTE DETIALS: Now onto the notes, this fragrance for me is definitely unique and I think it was largely due to the bamboo however I’ve come to realize I love the mint note in lots of other fragrances and will probably continue to search for fresh type fragrances with mint in them. This is definitely a clean white T-shirt and blue jeans type of scent or even a fresh out of the shower vibe fit ideally for summer and spring although this could definitely be a signature scent or even a year-round sent if one see fit. Now to set an image for this fragrance I would say imagine you are at a beach during spring or early summer and the weather is nice and warm and Driftwood is on the beach and at some point it rained for about 5 or 10 minutes but the sun never left and once the rain stopped, the sun beams continue to beat on the wet beached wood, and the aroma begins to carry in the light summer brisk which smells amazing. In a nutshell to my nose this is an aquatic, Woody, aromatic fragrance with some light citruses. This fragrance will not make you the most unique person in the room or probably won’t even make you stand out in a crowd or a bar setting, but close quarters is where this fragrance strives and for me that’s good enough because I no longer need to be the loudest in the room when it comes to fragrances. I prefer my fragrances to please my friends or family members or if I’m talking to a girl let her enjoy my scent bubble versus smelling me through the entire building lol. With that being said here is how I rate this fragrance Smell: 9/10 Sillage: 7.5/10 Projection: 7/10 FINAL rating: 7.5-8/10

Yup. Very fresh and clean. I get a much more "laundry fresh" type of vibe from this scent as opposed to "shower fresh." Nevertheless... It smells great. Quick story... I work part time at an Applebees doing the carside to-go four nights a week and whenever someone pays with a credit or debit card I have to stick my hands in their window to hand them a clip board with the slip they have to sign, so on nights I work that job, I always make sure to have at least one full spray of whatever fragrance I'm wearing smack dab in the middle of the top of my hand. And at least twice now that I can think of off the top of my head, customers have looked up at me and told me that I smell amazing. Both of them used that exact word, amazing. It smells great and honestly, I can't see the smell of this being anything but pleasant to anyone. It's THAT inoffensive. A great choice for a work shift fragrance or if you have a picky family member or friend that you'll be spending time with. This just smells fresh and clean, NOTHING ABOUT IT TO DISLIKE. Longevity - Pretty impressive for such a soft scent. I get about 6 hours out of it. Sillage - This, I do wish were a tad better. It only projects well for about 2 hours and then it sits close to skin. (For the insanely low price though, re applying is absolutely no problem.) Scent Itself - 9/10 Overall Score - 8/10 (If projection were better, it would be an easy 9.) Love this one. Alfred Sung makes amazing scents that are just so likeable. Big thumbs up. Safe blind buy as well guys in case you were wondering. It's the safest of the safe to blind buy actually.

Wow ... I'm not sure how I stumbled across this wonderful hidden gem of a fragrance but it's definitely a strong 8/10! IF you're a fan of Azarro Chrome, Nautica Classic (ship bottle/teal juice), Claiborne Sport, Lauder Pleasures, Uomo Moschino, Burberry Touch (minus the tonka) or even Eternity for Men ... then you will enjoy this. What does my non-professional nose smell? It is a clean masculine slightly green, fresh floral and a noticeable amount of violet leaf is present. In addition, it's definitely is clean, fresh, slightly citrus with mint ... blended with a moderate dose of white floral to create a slightly soapy scent which on the drydown adds a pleasant amount of smooth musk ... to create a wonderful fresh fragrance. (It says it has bamboo and it probably does but I have no idea what bamboo smells like in a fragrance.) As far as longevity ... not great ... at least 4+ hours with 5-6 sprays. Oh ... I forgot to mention that it had a master perfumer who created it ... David Apel. Oh ... I also forgot to mention that based on current discount websites for around 100 ml ... Azarro Chrome $35, CK Eternity $30 and Alfred Sung Hei $18! So ... if you tend to like this type of scent profile ... then join me in experiencing this hidden gem.

Huh... I was really impressed with this one! I typically gravitate towards 90s/early 2000s fragrances because I'm a big fan of that transitionary period where men's fragrances had begun expanding towards brighter, aquatic and oriental accords and Sung Hei particularly fits that description to a T. You get what you pay for in performance, as I only paid £13 for it and get roughly 5 hours of an intimate skin scent, just enough to notice it's still there. But I just feel so clean and easy wearing that I can forgive it! Alfred Sung Hei could be broken down as a light, floral, calmer aquatic, a little laundry detergent-y and very subtly spicy fragrance - which I would be remise to say it's even a bit unisex... To me, this is like a more grown up and sophisticated Nautica Voyage, as this has a larger focus on the botanicals and a wider variety of florals which adds more layers but retains a feeling of being in or around water. A superb spring/summer freshie for brief trips, a quick throw on after a shower - or before gym.

Beautiful, clean, glistening raindrop smell. Starts a little woody-citrus sharp like the crack of a summer thunderstorm, then mellows into a sweet rain scent with some minty aromatic herbs and jasmine floating on a slightly powdery breeze. Clean, gentle masculine but also easily unisex if a female enjoys a woodier, clean vibe. The tonka and flowers keep it sweet enough. Hei is just an amazing smell. Gone from skin after 4 hrs. But lingers on clothes for 6. This is all about the warmer season to me. Refreshes the senses and gives off a fresh and calming vibe. This reminds me of my husband's Tommy Bahama Very Cool, but without the persistent woods note that gives it a more masculine association. But very close in a fresh and breezy way. Others have said it well: this fragrance is fantastic- anyone can wear it. Classy aquatic freshy done right!

This fragrance was brought to my attention by a fellow YT reviewer. Very good collection staple. This gives me the vibe of a "sharper and fresher" version of Kiton for Men. I am not saying this is a replacement for Kiton Men, but they have a similar blend with woods, Tonka, citrus, and a VERY noticeable violet note. Solid projection and decent sillage for the price. Definitely worth a stiff. Dirt cheap scent for dumb reaches, signature scent, and all year fragrance. YT Shavenonthedarkside Review coming soon.

This was my all-time favorite back in middle school. It has a very aquatic smell, kinda like body wash, but with some kind of Asiatic twist, it is very refreshing and floral smelling and citrusy at the same time. The main downside is that it does not last long at all and fades away within a couple of hours. It's always been like that as far as I can remember, if the scent lasted longer it be a lot better. since it held a special nostalgic place I got a huge stash of Hei.

This one will always be in my collection because I actually wore it in the early 2000$ so it's purely nostalgia for me because this fragrance is apart of my journey. Very clean fresh everyday fragrance that smells decent and it is very budget friendly and you can get it on discounters for 22.00 or less and I believe that's a good deal for this fragrance, plus it works well in warm or mild weather on my skin and lasts all day on skin and clothing also 8.0 for me .

This is such a nice, fresh, clean, uplifting smell. I usually dislike most men's cologne because I find they all smell the same and I really dislike that common scent profile but this one is different and really nice. It's been around forever and I hope it never goes away. It's very attractive on a man!!

Smells like if CkOne and Hollister Free Wave had a baby together.. Very fresh fragrance!! Very well put together, Not for everyone from reading the comments but I’ve been wearing this since 2010 and have always got compliments 🤷🏻♀️ <3

Clean and fresh, nice Young fragrance, but performance is too weak. Edit : more i wear it, more i like it. It is finally more complexe than i thought. Finally a great cheapy.

This fragrance brings back memories for me💞 good cheap fresh fragrance and it doesn't smell bad at all. Summer 🏝️🌞 and spring 🌼🌱 time scent that is pleasing and inoffensive.

Older 2014 batch smells a lot better than 2020/21 batch must’ve been thinned down. Still an okay fragrance

This fragrance evokes the feeling That you are a monk doing his daily meditation in the middle of a bamboo forest in China by a stream, the water gently flowing and surrounded by a meadow of jasmine flowers. It's a very peaceful and serene fragrance. Somewhat resembling a floral bar of soap with a slightly woody undertone. This fragrance isn't sweet. It is green and floral to its core. It leans somewhat feminine to my nose, but not so much that men cannot wear it, personally, I love it. Scent- 8 Longevity- 6 (about 6 hours on me) Projection- 5 (arm's length for the first hour) Quality to Price Ratio- 8 (this can be found for around 15 USD) Presentation- 8(The raindrop bottle is pretty cool) Overall- 7 A great scent if you are on a budget or need a fragrance for after gym showers. Nothing totally original here, but nothing super generic either. A rather nice offering from a rather unknown brand. Worth a blind buy? Yes, if you don't like it then you could always spray your bed or a neighbor you dislike. Should it be hyped? Nope. Nothing super special. If this fragrance redundant if I already have some soapy fragrance like Burberry Touch, Mugler Cologne, and Prada L'homme? Yep, don't get this if you already have some nice soapy fragrances in your collection, unless you just want a slightly different vibe. Will this fragrance garner me compliments? Yes, it probably will. People tend to love clean people Will this fragrance transform me into a monk? No, I am afraid not. You can always watch Mulan while wearing it...If that's your thing.

I expected aromatic aquatic not fougere when I first smelled this and looked it up, but after wearing it a few times the true nature is apparent to me. The catalog I ordered the 3 pc giftset from described this as a fresh watery-herbal scent and I guess that is true. It is a slightly watery green herbal with an ever so gentle oriental finish... The first smell is sharp bergamot and lush bamboo with even greener violet leaf and a subtle mint. All the greens are balanced nicely. As the scent opens more the mint deepens into the dill(fennel?) and cardamom with a slight watery aura. The florals are not prominent but add a slight sweetness to the body which is delightful. Closer to its ultimate finish I detect a hint of jasmine (or maybe neroli). The drydown is very light but still there with the tonka and amber taking a back seat to the clean musk and mahogany. This particular wood is not the dark polished wood of expensive furniture but the light rainforest type of smell. A truly excellent fragrance... Sillage: decent Longevity: short Overall: 3.5/5 Sung has captured the scents of nature quite well with this one but like a fresh breeze carrying scent, it surrounds you; full of life, and then is gone, leaving only a hint of what it was and a beautiful memory and experience. I am very glad I got the set because the shave balm and deodorant keep this around longer than just the spray. I find nothing in common to CW here. This is fresh water in a green setting with soft florals, and has none of CW's depth, staying power or heavy woods...

This was a grat blind buy. I picked it up at Ross for $7.99, and a fragrance at that price doesn't get much better than this. My first impression was a downer, as I sprayed the air and smelled the atomizer first. I was greeted by a synthetic and pungent disaster, and thought this blind buy was going to be a flop. Then I sprayed the back of my hand with two spritzes. The atomizer worked well and produced a fine mist with good coverage. The opening of this scent is very aquatic and green, like a lighter version of one of my favorite frags, Davidoff's Cool Water. This Cool Water-esque scent dies down over about 10-30 min time frame as the aqua is partially replaced by light citrus and white floral notes, and the light, green, woodiness of bamboo sets in. The drydow produces a very fresh, clean, sharp bamboo-citrus-floral scent that is slightly powdery and soapy. Very good drydown in my opinion. Performance is OK, but if price is taken into account it is excellent. I find that I get a decent sillage and trail for 1-2 hours, before it calms down to somewhere between a skin and personal scent, projecting about 1 ft-6 inches for about 4-5 hours. Overall, I give this fragrance a strong 7/10. The price is fantastic, the scent is great and strengthens in the drydown, and the performance is ok. Great for everyday wear/work scent.

Pros: - Very fresh and crisp smelling - Great for summer - Amazing dry-feeling - Subtle but emanating scent, almost impossible to overdo - Very affordable for large quantity - Received compliments (often rare for cheaper scents) Cons: - Not very unique - Requires you to re-apply often Overall I liked this scent a lot. Primarily used it as a home or work cologne as it is nothing that can really bother anybody. As many people said this is great for summer and is good coming out of a shower. It smells like fresh laundry and it also has a unique "dry" feel to it. I wore this on extremely humid days as it felt like it help me feel more dry. It's a good scent if you are starting out as you can't really over apply it. Since it's inexpensive I would recommend it for anybody just looking for a cheap scent to wear for home or work.

This is a decent scent for the price but it's nothing great and it's pleasant but not original or unique. This opens up and immediately it reminds me of a greener CK One ! This however is also more transparent and aromatic in the opening. Once this dries down you get a lot of mint and bamboo and there's some harsh note that I can't put my finger on but at this point it smells very similar to Beckhams classic blue. Haha, and then once it completely dries down it smells very similar to Live Jazz by Yves Saint Laurent. Sidenote: This smells really good in the air but up close it can be a bit harsh. Performance on this is actually really good on my skin. It lasts 6-8 hours with above average projection. Overall rating --- 6.5 out of 10 ! Decent for the price range but there's way better things out there in my opinion

Hei is a nice, clean scent. Though not one of my favorites, I do get good use out of it. The opening is very powerful and can be headache inducing depending on how trigger happy you are. The projection and scent will only last about 15 min before it settles down, closer to the skin, and gives of a clean, soapy, slightly woody scent. It smells like you are fresh out of the shower; a good thing for people who don't like frags. This stays for a few hours then, and is nice. It certainly doesn't have great performance, but for its role it does just fine. Scent: 6.5/10 (literally soapy, wet bamboo) Longevity: 5/10 Sillage:4/10 post drydown (but that's all it needs) Price:9/10 Should you buy? Yes! It's a good "I don't know what to wear today" frag, and is great in the summer.

Hei opens fresh and clean with a vintage 90s vibe, like a more masculine and mature CK fragrance. As it dries down the scent becomes more of a floral heavy fresh spice with a touch of powdery soap. The dry down phase is similar to Lomani AB Spirit but leaps and bounds better. It's not old lady like or cloying at all, totally enjoyable and just down right clean smelling. Hei stays in that phase for the rest of it's wear cycle with the occasional resurrection of the opening accord. The notes are blended well and work synergistically providing a smooth experience throughout which is nice for a cheapy like this. It's also energizing in a sense and just feels upbeat and sunny. Performance is okay and it should last a few hours at least.

I'll keep this short and sweet. Hei by Alfred Sung is by far, the BEST blind purchase fragrance that I have ever owned for UNDER $10!!! Don't let the designer and unpopularity of the brand fool you! This a very inoffensive, aquatic scent that turns into a clean, powdery, lightly soapy scent. I was so impressed by it, that I even purchased a "back up" bottle for myself, and gifted a bottle to my younger brother. Perfect for any occasion (office, home, school, gym)...Do yourself a favor and add this to your collection. A risk well worth the $6.99 that I took on a 1.7 oz bottle. The only downside about this scent is the longevity...but honestly, that can be taken care of with a few extra sprays.

Just received this scent, and have tried it on, and im actually not really fussed on it hey. I mean, its nice, but thats all it is - nice. This is the kind of scent that i smell at my local gym, so therefore, this will be my gym scent! I love the dry down, very bamboo/watery/woody and definitely musky. Screams 100% masculine to me. Its lasted a while on my skin, and projection is ok, but a few spritz did the job for me nonetheless. The only thing i really really love about this scent, is the bottle! absolutely beautiful! So simple, yet very elegant. Just a delecate rain droplet of a bottle :) Scent = 7/10 Projection = 7/10 Longevity = 7/10 Bottle Design = 9/10

I’m really surprised that there aren’t more comparisons to Versace Pour Homme. I wouldn’t at all say that it’s a clone of VPH, but I think it’s right in that category. The bergamot and neroli are much more prominent than I thought they were going to be. I think that I would say that this is sort of a mix between VPH and Azzaro Chrome. Very fresh and light, but also a fair amount of that slightly sweet citrus. I really like this. More than I even thought I would. My only beef with it is the performance. It only lasts around 4 or 5 hours, and that’s only if I spray it quite a bit. It’s also very cheap, though, so I’m not going to get very upset about it.

This is a pretty clean and watery fragrance perfect for casual or work use. Opens with a fresh accord, not really citrusy, but a bit flowery. Fairly dominant lavender/musk drydown gives this otherwise weak fragrance a bit of body and heft. Longevity and sillage are on the average side, in my opinion. Actually lasts a pretty decent amount of time for a fresh fragrance. Although definitely on the generic side, I have grown to appreciate Hei as an inoffensive yet very pleasant essence that is a pleasure to wear. If you just want to smell "nice," you definitely can't go wrong with this stuff.

Seems like a concession of Hei has found its way to the discount store fragrance shelves. Like others, I found mine at Marshall's. The low price, combined with decent reviews, made it an easy blind buy purchase. Longevity is its weakest quality. But that lack of longevity makes for a good scent when you can't commit to carrying a certain fragrance on you all day. Sung Hei is a nice Saturday-morning-errands scent. Also extremely safe for work, or in the evening after a shower. When I spray it on my wife says, "You smell fresh." I'll take that.

Very nice perfume for hot summer. i like Alfred Sung's perfume and i see all his perfume are accepted by East Asians.Fresh, clean,no offensive or wierd notes. Hei is inspired by traditonal chinese culture. Close to Nature. Water,plants,and people feel so refreshed. Green,cool,and the dry down is charming.It remind me of a traditional Chinese intellectual during 1920-1930's , confucian-elegance. Longevity is good. More than 6 hours on my skin. Drop on cloth or paper fan, last a month.

Very clean, fresh and aquatic. I used to have 4 sprays on both back neck. It projects quite well in the first 1-2 hour, and then begins to dry down and close to skin. I will reapply it and enjoy its fresh and clean smell. It is certainly weak in longevity, but it is still worth the price coz it is cheap and affordable. I now use it to spray my bedsheet at night. Definitely suitable for daytime in spring and summer. I love it!

It is a nice fragrance, Fresh, Clean and Bright , Hei has Bamboo note that is Unique. It smells so good and very pleasant in Hot weather, Specially suitable for swimming pool and Seaside. It opens up fresh citrusy , green and floral notes in the background then dry down is musky woody. Longevity is good , I bought it blind-buy after reading the positive comments with reasonable price. Highly Recommended. Rating : 7.5 / 10

Think of this scent as clean and non offensive. This would be an office scent and something to wear during a beautiful spring day. In a strange way I feel like if you mixed a gain laundry static sheet and some baby powder this would be the cologne. It’s fresh but not in a soapy way. It’s slightly above average but it’s nothing special. I got this one as a blind buy for $19 bucks for a 100Ml. You could do a lot worse.

I've had this fragrance since middle school(cuz its cheap) and i Love it, but i don't love it, i mean i want to love it, but something in it just makes me sneeze whenever i first spray it. It bothers me soooooo much, but i still torture myself everytime i want to smell like it. Gonna be in my wardrobe until i can no longer buy it whether i sneeze to death or not. 7/10 from me, but still freakin awesome.

I grabbed this one for a great deal blind buy. I read that it’s dated but I really didn’t wear too many scents when this came out and never went searching for new ones then so I missed this. Sprayed arms and neck and I really like it! Just a really nice hot weather scent. I’m currently wearing this in a 93 F, Northeast Heat Advisory and humbly, I smell great! Lol Pretty happy with this blind buy.

Very clean, fresh and aquatic. I used to have 4 sprays on both back neck. It projects quite well in the first 1-2 hour, and then begins to dry down and close to skin. I will reapply it and enjoy its fresh and clean smell. It is certainly weak in longevity, but it is still worth the price coz it is cheap and affordable. Definitely suitable for daytime in spring and summer. I love it!

I like this fragrance as a quick going out wear. It doesn’t last long but the bergamot really shines through in this one. I like to pair this with my rams lataffa gold which helps with the femininity and makes it smell more masculine of the top. Overall not a bad fragrance but it could be better 8/10 in my books

Nice to wear on the weekends in the day time. I prefer Sung's Paradise to this one. Hei is fleeting. There is one moment of utter beauty and then it's gone. Literally in seconds. Sillage in also no were near ok. It does sit close to the skin for hours though. Keeping you fresh for most of the day.

A clean, fresh, woody and fruity EDT. Moderate longevity and silage. This is very pleasant. It starts similar to Eternity Summer for Men 2005 by CK. Violet, Mint and bamboo dominate this. I have had a few complements about this already. A nice, clean one from Sung and a good Summer choice.

A friend turned me on to this cologne and I liked it but after I started building my collection of fragrances, I don't find it as exciting as once before. It's clean, fresh and definitely a daytime summer/ spring scent. My name is Mike and I APPROVE this review!

Sort of «meh» about this one. In the ballpark of ck one and azzaro chrome. But its not bad, just very linear and simple, which comes in handy in hot weather when u dont wanna smell too strong.

I just bought this one... and I love it. Its a perfect summer fragrance. I also wish that the scent didn't fade so fast, however that won't stop me buying and using it.

SOTD Very easy wear, spring/summer scent. It reminded me of Davidoff cold water or Coty Aspen. For the price point, I don't think you can go wrong.

Good value for the price i paid but nothing special to be honest. Longevity is okaaay and not really a fragrance that really stands out.

- uniquely fresh - the bottle truly matches its scent - definitely "more male" - Versace Pour Homme becomes this in its drydown

A clean Summer perfume. Moderate performance but it's great to spritz at the pool. A lovely perfume to be honest

Clean fresh light Summer fragrance. A bit non-descript and doesn't last too long. Nice while it does though.

Sea world the cologne, no clue why. Lotion and bamboo , gone in 60 seconds .

It’s an ok scent...very clean, little herbal, little blue-ish...non offensive and also non impressive...good for a dumb reach spray when running an errand like grocery shopping for an hour or at max two cuz that’s about the longevity on this but can be found on the very cheap around $10-$15...but I wouldn’t rebuy

When this first came out I absolutely loved it it smelled so fresh and so unique. And then Elizabeth Arden got their hands on it and ruined it to the point where now it smells like cut grass and that's about it...

Fresh and clean, slightly floral, spring/summer cheapie. Just don't over spray or you'll be tasting it in your mouth...

Alfred sung hei is what I’d imagine a jpg le male l’eau or something would be like. Very bright and citrusy and of course aquatic and refreshing while still having a floral and semi sweet scent to it. Really this needs to be based out a lot heavier with something to hold onto the scent as it seems to disappear quickly and is quite a boring scent. It also seems quite dated and not something worth buying even on discount. I really hope there is a fragrance that comes out that’s similar to this but just does a better job. Overall it’s too generic doesn’t last doesn’t project is dated but could be an option for a cheap freshie for someone who isn’t heavily into fragrances. Also think this would work a lot better on someone above the age of 30 as if just doesn’t have the youthful pop like I thought it would.

I found a bottle for cheap, and based on the notes,it seemed like a fresh, not sweet option for summer.I like some men's fragrances in summer as generally the are not sweet and don't have florals that can go strange in high humidity. Although it is fresh, and not sweet ~I get far more wood notes than I was looking for. So this bottle will make its way to my husband's side of the vanity. I have a number of Alfred Sung fragrances and really enjoy them all. They are well crafted, especially for the price, and distinctive. Not this one. It is fresh, lasts well enough, but I cannot say it is distinctive or even that interesting. Too generic. For this reason, its a pass for me.

Very fresh & little bit spicy, very light & safe fragrance. Nothing unusual. Poor longevity, weak sillage . There is a lot of this kind on the market today. You can find it almost everywere on sale... Not bad for office use and during hot summer's mornings :)
