Mr. Burberry Eau de Parfum

Wow. This stuff is heavenly. First off, I’m a huge fan of these kind of fragrances: a simple, clean/fresh opening and a warm, woody base, wrapped together by soft, green, floral spices. This one is nearly perfection IMO. I also love Mr. Burberry EDT. Some people call that one boring, which I can kind of understand, but still, I think it’s a fantastic fragrance that is super fresh, classy, and versatile. The EDP version is significantly better in my opinion, as the EDT did suffer just a bit from an underlying bitterness, and I felt it needed something more warm or floral to balance things out and tie it all together. This EDP does that and then some, significantly improving it in the process and making it even more inviting and smooth. The opening is fresh and citrusy, but not quite as bitter and green. It adds more spice to it, which makes it feel deeper and more complex immediately. The addition of cinnamon is exquisite and kind of genius IMO, it adds warmth and complexity. The scent overall still feels fresh, a bit cool/slightly aquatic almost, but the added cinnamon and patchouli blend together beautifully and bring out the zest of the grapefruit and the warmth of the cedar and sandalwood. The lavender is beautiful and rounds out the green notes and cardamom. In my opinion, this is a masterpiece designer fragrance. The quality of the ingredients is surprisingly good and blended together so beautifully, Francis Kurkdjian really knocked it out of the park here. I think for daily wear, this is better than Sauvage, BdC, Aventus, all of those. Not every fragrance needs to shout your arrival from the rooftops. I prefer something deceptively simple and blended to perfection, and Mr. Burberry EDP absolutely nails it. Plus, everyone else will be too busy wearing those other, more popular scents, and you’ll be the one who stands out when it matters most :)

I have read a lot of reviews and I'm pretty shocked to find that most of you do not have any experience with fragrances. Mr. Burberry is an absolutely women killer perfume with a unique smell, it's modern, luxurious, sexy, and a strong compliment magnet. I have a huge collection of perfumes from big houses like Creed, Mancera, and other cheaper perfume from Dior, Chanel and so on, but this cheap fragrance from Burberry it's a f***ing steal and a beast that kills many many types of fragrances from big houses. It is not a perfume for any person, it just for a real gentleman who has tasted it, for somebody with that likes quality and for somebody who wants to impress. It's for somebody who wants something unique. It's a very mysterious fragrance that will bring questions from all sides. Maybe because the nose behind this perfume it's Francis Kurkdjian, and after knowing that, you should know that everything that I mentioned above, makes sense! I never thought that I can find a such gem fragrance for such a price. It was initially a blind buy and i never regret it. Rather than Bleu de Chanel, Dior Sauvage, i would use Mr. Burberry without even thinking twice! This cheap fragrance deserves a place near Mancera and Creed without any doubt! Try it and you will see!

Don't listen to others, this is a wonderful fragrance made by famous and super talented Mr. Francis Kurkdjian from MFK. Trust me, he wouldn't produce something "terrible", "medicinal", "weak". Like oh my god where do you people come from? If you are a nose blind or just a slump don't expect miracles after just buying the bottle, it requires something back from the wearer as well. You pay designer and want something niche in return. And no this fragrance cant make you young and beautiful, it is just a fragrance and for the price this is AMAZING FRAGRANCE. Yes, just like I said Mr. Burberry is for the young Mr.businesses man dressed in Burberry trench coat and don't expect wearing puma sport pants and think you can pull this off. This fragrance like many other before it requires style, mojo character, a special event etc then you'd understand it. Did you see Bleu de Channel fragrance commercials? Yes a guy like that would wear this fragrance and you would bend your neck while passing by him on a street, capish? For the rest of us, buy it, wear it, and imagine you are that guy from BDC commercial you might get different results from the rest of people 😀 Fragrance 8/10 Longevity 6/10 Price 9/10

After recently resolving to never blind buy a fragrance ever again, I bought a sample of Mr Burberry EDP and was instantly sold ....and immediately invested in a 150ml bottle. This is a true g.a.d.a scent for the more mature man (I think I qualify for that contingent at nearly 52 years of age. 😁). The overall character is luxurious, high quality and inviting. Many say this is not groundbreaking and no it isn't in so much as it is not creating a new 'type' or 'style' of scent however, for me this does something quite unique within the arena of green-herbal, earthy-woody and blue-showergel scents by combining all 3 into one creating something very accomplished indeed. I love the simple yet bold, smoked glass bottle and the scent is just fantastic. Yes indeed this is top 5 for me straight out of the bottle.

First thing! DON'T SPRAY AND SNIFF IT RIGHT AWAY! My first reaction was not good ,it felt harsh and somehow like a juice for old people,but that's just the opening! After 1 hour you feel it's smoothenes,Mr.Kurkdjian made a great job, very different from the ambroxan mania of today releases,it's fresh balsamic warm but very manly. I see it more for night time when you dress up and go out for some drinks in spring or autumn. AND who ever says this does not last should check they're noses, I felt whisps from my chest all day, and my pillow on my bed which I have sprayed the night before still goes strong after 24 H ,I think you just get use to it but others still smell it on you. In todays ambroxan world you really smell different with this very good Eau de Parfum!

I adore this juice. No surprise knowing the perfumer... Right when I smelled it I knew I had to have it. I impulse bought this, but it was worth it to me. Recently wore Mr. Burberry below the belt, wearing another frag up top. I was in the club restroom and I smelled someone I was like man some dood got a killer frag I wonder what it is... then I realized it was my crotch 😅 This juice suits all occasions, all weather. It’s classy, neat - a proper gentleman. It’s fresh but spicy, green and blue at the same time. Great fresh out the shower scent. Reminds me of Polo Blue, but a bit darker. It can be dressed up or dressed down ,but the bow tie on the bottle should tell you what this juice was intended for... Update: the tube to the atomizer will not fit a Trevalo.

A very solid woody, spicy daily for guys that like to smell mature but not old, bold but not loud. It has a lot of green freshness at the top (mint, lavender), making it a refreshing spray on the way out the door before work. By the time you get there some spice and woods will begin to enter the picture. People will like this. Women will find it comforting and attractive. You will find that the dry down is addictive. It's so much better than those that call it boring or generic. My opinion is that those people are simply looking for a sweeter, more attention grabbing scent. This is a classic gentleman's scent conceived and blended very well. It's warm and seductive and clean.

First impression, I Like it a Lot! :) I will update soon.. Update This is one of those fragrances that put smile on my face whenever i sniff :) So, Wow! This is more of a night time fragrance, it has perfect balance without being overly dark and not too bright either. Also it's not too sugary or not too citrusy.. It's modern, but without Ambroxan, major ingredient in this days fragrances. It has spices and flowers that is my impression, i can sense the flowers in it, this notes gives this fragrance freshness, not to fall into the dark. Longevity and silage is moderate, not too strong, just perfect! In one word, Lovely.

A decent all around fragrance for men. I understand why some people deride it as being generic. It's not offensive, nor is it likely to inspire devoted fandom. It's all around decent, with some floral tones, some spice,some fruitiness, some freshness. I've gotten plenty of compliments on it from people who aren't fragrance "connoisseurs" like many of us on this site. Longevity and sillage are average, but it's a nice scent overall. Its longer lasting and better smelling than the EDT in my opinion. A very classic scent that doesnt do anything too crazy but also doesnt offend.

This is such a beautiful perfume! My husband has a 100 ml bottle and he's almost out. Considering his bottles last for years sometimes, I think it says a lot. I just sprayed it on myself to see how my skin reacts to it. It is a well-balanced perfume, appropriate for office work and for going out. I think that both younger men and men past 40 will like it, because it is non-offensive and it makes you feel fresh and put together. I think I have a thing for patchouli, because I noticed I like a lot of perfumes containing patchouli (So elixir, White patchouli etc.)

I have $400 niche fragrances that don’t last, project, or get attention like this. FK knows how to make great fragrances. Those who disagree just haven’t caught up yet ( shots fired ). I tried the EDT today and I love the added woodiness but it’s only lasts a couple of hours max. The EDP is bolder, denser, and projects and lasts like fragrance enthusiasts want. I have worn the EDP for more than 8 years. It was at one point my signature scent way back when I would buy 5.0 oz bottles for $155. Today I ordered a 3.4 for $50.30 shipped. No brainer

This is a stunner. The absolute definition of underrated! This was my signature scent for years and is easily my most complimented fragrance out of my collection of 50 bottles. It lasts all day, projects, and has an awesome sillage. I honestly can’t believe the price and the rating AND it was created by one of the best perfumers in the world. I’m in the medical field and have had staff and patients ask for the name so they could buy it for their men.

Underrated fragrance. Clean sophisticated citrus patchouli with minty touch. Dark fresh scent and very masculine. Complements getter, cheap. In the same genre of bleu de chanel. It exceeds versace dylan blue and dior sauvage in terms of quality. Smells much more natural without the annoying ambroxan note of these two. The only drawback is the poor longevity. Performance is ok in the first half hour only. Great deal for the price.

Not bad as masculine fragrances go, although with 4 sprays you hardly get anything. 7 to 8 sprays on skin and clothes is what I would recommend if your tastes are for fragrances that exude a very clean, soapy, casual fragrance. This is great for work, studying in a library or running errands. This is a different fragrance, but not stand out stature. Best suited for rainy or slushy spring and summer days.

If you looking for a common designer nice smelling fragrance it's not that one! That one is really well balanced unique fragrance! It combines herbs citrousies with cardamon and cinnamon! Francis kurkdjian made really good job! From the first sprays until dry down it has so many changes! Perfect complexity! I love it! Great for a gentlemans night out in suit! Sophisticated compliment getter!

Class and sophistication in a little black bottle. Blind bought the EDP. Even though a lot of reviews weren’t glowing for this fragrance, I had a feeling that I was going to like it. Am so glad that I did purchase it, and boy was I right. Need I say more. Those around you will completely agree. Again, class and sophistication in a little black bottle. Trust me on this one.

I'm currently wearing this scent and i Love it for sure. Fresh, elegant, masculine yet it could pass for Unisex scent as well. Performance is good, i still smell myself after several hours and after taking a shower , however it dries down to a very generic scent, nothing headturning. Love it but won't re-purchase once i'm done with it. For now, i'm enjoying this beauty..

With the way mainstream designer fragrances are going with the over the top sweetness, scents like these will make you stand out. This is a handsome scent where you know everyone around you will think you smell great. The EDT is nice and pleasant but the EDP takes it to another level. I just bought a 100 ml backup bottle in case it gets reformulated or discontinued.

@lou6 but why do they not review it? Whats the matter of rating a fragrance without any comment or statement? Sure some people have early access to it but everything is rated bad, for example woth Hugo Boss Iced its the same. Maybe it is because they think that because Mr.Burberry was "bad" this will be too and thats why they rate it bad without even testing...

I'm glad I gave this fragrance a chance, it has not disappointed me at all. Patchouli is one of my favorite notes and this stuff has it in spades. The grapefruit adds a nice fruity vibe to it and of course the cardamon makes it a bit spicy. 12+ hours of longevity and 4 feet of projection, go easy on the trigger because this juice is quite potent.

Mr Burberry edp instantly captivated me when i first smelt it in 2022. Its a very masculine fragrance which will definitely get you compliments especially when you wear it in hot weather. The only issue with this one is the average performance. I get 6 hours max.. 2 hours of projection and then a gentle skin scent. I recommend at least 8 sprays.

mint, patchouli, woody notes and nutmeg...cold weather night time sophisticated gentlemanly fragrance....yes its simple but for a cologne worth 50 usd or less its fantastic bargain.great longevity but projection was better in edt, i like it a lot....need to try the indigo now :) 8/10 not similar to sauvage or bleu de chanel in any way, better

Legendary MFK fragrance that lasts ALL day. I have a large collection and I have objectively received more compliments and performance that easily 80% of my collection. I am shocked that the rating is this low. This stuff is classy, masculine, and inexpensive. It was my signature scent for years and I used to pay $140 a bottle.

Very underrated and forgotten gem! This perfume smells little bit old school and reminds me of some shaving cream/aftershave lotion, but in a good way. Also smells very clean, masculine and energetic. Really love this one. Sometimes men's should smell like that and not like some dessert (although I love them too).

Perfect of office. I don't get why many people hate this fragrance, but in reality it's a beautiful masculine scent. Spicy green notes with patchouli makes it far better and unique than Dior Sauvage. The only down side is that the juice is too weak for an EDP and this thing doesn't last that long

It's a nice scent to smell. Fresh spicy, mint, fresh water are things that come to mind when I smell this. I don't know why it's getting so much hate. It's not trying hard. That's what I like about it. You can wear this to work, get complements, and you won't offend anyone.

This is amazing scent! a great oriental floral mix that combines so classy. The performance is not as bad as people say. its average projection and longevity. I bought a bottle and use this quite a lot. Receive plenty compliments. Great work Francis Kurkdjian

I wore this today and I find it thicker and denser than the eau de toilette but it lasts only a couple hours longer than the edt and doesn't project. the bottle looks good in black but I was expecting better performance and on me it just doesn't last.

Safe & very masculine aromatic spicy scent. I can use it anywhere anytime but I prefer to use in the summer. Performance is below average lasted around 3-4 hours with soft projection from the start. I wish it lasted longer to improve the experience.

clean masculine and classy. Easy reach, great performance , and projection. This was my signature scent for years and I can not tell you how many of my patients asked me what I was wearing.! It’s an FK fragrance. You can’t go wrong

Masterpiece. Great perfume. It smells fresh dry spicy herbal woody. Very clean soapy scent like just out of shower. Very good for both office and a casual weekend. Versatile. Moderate long lasting 5-6 hours. Give it 10/10.

So glad I bought this fragrance. Burberry has yet to disappoint. Holidays, winter, christmas cookies and hot cocoa in a bottle Of course Francis Kurkdjian is the perfumer. No wonder this scent rocks my world.

Well i feel this is the most versatile version of Mr burberry 🎀 , its elegant & Classy , its carry fresh and woody kind of Aroma around you which makes it so good for evening night out or casual coffee day ☕️

The absolute best fragrance on the market from Burberry period. Burberry Touch had always been my favorite until I put my nose on this one. Performance is phenomenal and it's dirt cheap on discounters.

Such an underrated fragrance and at under tweny bucks for a 30ml bottle you cannot go wrong. It's an aromatic warm spicy scent and on me it lasts about 6-7hrs.

I sprayed this fragrance last night and it has been over 26 hours and the smell still very strange on my necktie... Very classy, unique, I love it so much...

Such a classy and inviting scent , I love it i wear it to work , could use a performance enhancing, other than that it's fantastic and inviting

This smells amazing. Sadly, longevity is abysmal and sillage is very faint. Just wish it had a stronger punch.

It's the drydown that wins me....

sweet spicy, unisex- i love it

Mr. Burberry Men EDP opens with a low projection of spicy and woody accords. The cardamon and tarragon are the most noticeable opening spices, both create a green herb, anise-like accord, the tarragon is more prominent with its anisic touch; the mint is a brief tone, it comes up just for a moment and then it dissipates; the grapefruit is also very soft and it is almost unnoticeable. The opening is all about the spices and everything else is far behind. As the fragrance commences to dry-down, the woody, benzoin, and nutmeg accords join the blend, once again their projection is very low, the combination of woody accords and benzoin creates a soft resinous touch that adds depth to the fragrance. The lavender is a faint distant floral note. The patchouli and vetiver add a soft green touch; the cinnamon joins the cardamon and tarragon enhancing the spicy accords. The most noticeable changes from the opening to the dry-down are the dissipation of the mint, and grapefruit notes, and the development of the very soft green and vetiver accords. The spices come up at the opening and continue into the dry-down. Once Mr. Burberry Men EDP has reached its full dry-down, it can be summarized as a very low projection, spicy (mostly tarragon), and resinous woody fragrance. The fragrance feels classy, earthy, faint, formal, light, masculine, mature, modern, nocturnal, resinous, inexpensive, warm, weak, woody, and pleasant. BATCH REVIEWED: 2020. WOW RATING: 4/10. The spicy accords are fantastic; the fragrance’s potency is very poor. DISLIKE RATING: 1/10. The fragrance is spicy; some people could find the spices unpleasant. UNIQUENESS: 3/10. Spicy fragrances are very common. MASS APPEAL: 4/10. A basic spicy fragrance with low mass-appeal. PROJECTION: 1/10. Low, about 1 foot around the wearer. SILLAGE: 1/10. Low, almost none. APPLICATION: 6 or more atomizations to compensate for poor performance. LONGEVITY: 3/10. About 3 hours with less than 1 hour of low projection. SEASONS: Fall and winter, or colder nights. OCCASIONS: Formal and casual. This is an office-friendly fragrance. VERSATILITY: 4/10. Limited to the colder months and, casual or formal wear. GENDER: Masculine. The spicy and wood tones lean it to the masculine side. AGES: 30 and above. RECOMMENDATION: Mr. Burberry EDP is a great scent, but its performance is below EDT, very disappointing. Not recommended. SIMILAR: These are examples of similar fragrances. Bvlgari Man (no the Black version) EDT includes softwood and fruity notes; Cuba Gold Men EDT is an affordable woody, floral and spicy fragrance; Guerlain L'Homme Ideal EDP By Guerlain includes softwoods, almond, and other notes; Hugo Boss - Boss The Scent Absolute EDP features woody, ginger, and rum notes; Terre D'hermes EDT Spray, is orange and grapefruit based but it contains soft/sweet wood tones as well; Prada Luna Rossa Black Men EDP is a mostly peppery and woody fragrance; Tom Ford Oud Wood is a very pleasant, soft woody fragrance, however, very pricy; Acqua di Parma Men Colonia Quercia is a great woody, and spicy fragrance; Pasha de Cartier Edition Noire is an elegant and versatile, slightly sweet, ambery, aquatic, and woody fragrance; Mr. Burberry EDP is a spicy and woody fragrance, pleasant but very weak. SUMMARY: A very low projection, spicy (mostly tarragon), and resinous woody fragrance. The fragrance feels classy, earthy, faint, formal, light, masculine, mature, modern, nocturnal, resinous, inexpensive, warm, weak, woody, and pleasant.

Classy & reserved. This is a Gentleman’s scent for the modern day man. I say that knowing that this isn’t a groundbreaking creation nor does it have to be to have it considered as a good fragrance. On me, I love the woods with its warm and semi sweet drydown. You get a light kick in the beginning with the Cardamom & Grapefruit that is accompanied by the mint note. It has a soothing lavender with a slight spiceness from the nutmeg & tarragon that is warm yet clean smelling, almost as if one is standing in today’s contemporary barbershops taking in all the ambery and fresh cleanliness of the environment. In the end it’s a nice patchouli, vetiver with a subtle cinnamon and sandalwood finish that is nice and simple that honestly won’t offend a soul. It smells like a man who’s got his shit together. It’s professional, manly and yet has a warmer side to it. It has garnered a few compliments every time I wear it. The weakness of Mr. Burberry eau de parfum is its projection or, lack there of and the soft sillage. It resembles D&G The One edp in performance, not in scent profile as The One has the Tobacco, Ginger and Orange blossom to give it a sexier and richer body. After a couple of hours someone really has to be close to you to catch a whiff or two. I use 5-6 sprays, one behind each ear, three on the chest from shoulder to shoulder and a quick spray on the under shirt and I’m good to go for a full day at the office. It transitions easily to the evening for a night out for drinks with friends and colleagues. This is good for almost all year round wear and can be ones signature scent except for maybe the real hot & humid days of summer. There are better scent elixirs out there indeed that offer better performance to boot but, this is not a bad scent at all and for the low price (I paid $45 US for a 5oz. bottle at a discounter) just spray a little extra on. Solid juice, period.....

Not gonna make an in-depth review because is too late, just wanted to contribute my 2 cents because I see it has a poor review, probably because the longevity and sillage as I see a lot of people rated it poor. I read the other reviews last week but I can't remember them now so... ·I would definitely rated higher than a mere 2.42, at least as the scent goes. ·I can feel very clearly the citrus, given the notes I would thought it was gonna be more discrete. I think it mixes well with the other notes. ·I understand what the description means when it says "more suitable for evening occasions" but I could use it for daytime too. ·With just my first sprays I felt it was too weak, so I sprayed some more about 5 minutes later(I'm testing it and I like to be able to smell them easily and for my wife to be able to smell it at a distance) and it went to weak mode again after 5 minutes or so(maybe is my nose getting used to it, but it doesn't happens this much as with other perfumes). ·At this rate I would say the longevity won't be that much but its being an hour and 15 minutes and I can still smell it (skin scent and outside in the balcony with some draft I could smell it a little bit in my surrounding air), which beats Gucci perfumes. Conclusion for now: I like the smell but I don't like the strength, for my taste is somewhat weak even for a safe perfume, but you have to do your own test for this as my perception of it might be different from yours.

EARTHY-GREEN FRESH SLIGHTLY SPICY WOODY CREAMY it's not sweet like most of the offerings these day (which probably why it doesn't get much love and also because of the sharp opening), opens with sharp Mint+Grapefruit+Cardamom+Tarragon+Lavender+Patchouli mostly, but smooths out and develops as it dries. in the mid it gets earthy & green fresh woody & warm, the full dry is the best part, creamy sandalwood kicks in with the earthy-green clean slightly-spicy freshness (like an earthier Azzaro Visit, which is underated as well) I'd say it's a versatile, classy/sophisticated, masculine, 'Modern Fougère' fragrance but has a faint woody powderiness that adds a softness to the composition. there are better projecting & more 'mass appealing' offerings at the price point but not many which are as unique, distinct & deep. Projection/Sillage': LIGHT, arms length scent bubble for the 1st 30mins to an hour but mainly an intimate/in-close scent. Performance/Longevity: GOOD, about 7-12 hours (on fabric), it's an intimate fragrance mainly but stays a good while.

I purchased this fragrance for my husband simply because I have all af the My Burberry collection and fell in love with the lot of them. This fragrance is nice and wearable, but feels like it shouldn't be linked with the MB collection. Aside from the black botte being, quite deceptive just as mine is. It is a nice wearable fragrance that surely wont offend, great for the office. It doesn't project as well as it should, and can very well be a unisex scent. It is more minty and fresh as opposed to the manlier, deep, spiciness we adore from most men's fragrances. Nothing dark of alluring in this bottle. Just a safe, inexpensive purchase. I probably won't be blind buying the Indigo version, but I'm not disappointed either.

Smelled beautiful when I first sprayed it. Green, woody, warm and minty. Then, a few minutes later, I thought it was sharp and bad. Then, thirty minutes later it was even better than the first few minutes, and it stayed that way for the remainder. I've noticed some green scents have a sharp, bitter smell towards the opening. I guess that's what threw me off. I get the same from Dolce & Gabbana Pour Homme, which I also like. Performance is on the low side of average for me, which makes it good for the office. Smells modern without falling into the current super-sweet trend. This doesn't blow my mind, but it's a solid, masculine fragrance that would suit most occassions.

I get mostly patchouli, cardamom, cedar and grapefruit. Theres also a slight hint of mint in the background. This is a very fresh, dark scent. It's not necessarily dark, but its a heavier fragrance, more well suited for the colder weather. You can tell it's a designer fragrance, but it exudes class and confidence. This is not entirely suited for high schoolers, but it also isn't suited for 40+ businessmen. It's mainly for a younger/middle aged, clean-cut, smooth individual. Definitely for the modern man. Class, confidence, sophistication - Modern, fresh, dark, sexy. I've worn this out once and it was a great experience. Performance was above average. Love this stuff!

If Bleu De Chanel had a flanker that was dark green, it would smell like this. It's got freshness, with some spiciness, greenery, and a woodsy base. Very masculine and people pleasing. Projects great for 3-4 hours then becomes a nice skin scent. Overall really nice fragrance with a nice presentation and can be found really cheap. If you like fragrances like Bleu De Chanel but want one a little different and cheaper definitely check this out. Although I will say it's more synthetic (but not overly) and gets cloying in heat. Best for cool evenings when there's a breeze

لا اعلم سبب تجاهل الناس لهذا العطر هل لم يعد لدار بربري اي قيمة في هذا الزمن ..!! .. عموما بوجهة نظري الشخصية هذا العطر رائع و يستحق الاقتناء .. انا سعيدٌ به جداً .. العطر ربما يوحي لك بضعف الاداء الا اني أراه بغاية الرضا في الثبات كذلك السياج العطري ملفت و هادئ و مريح و غير متوقع .. لا يكاد يختفي حتى يظهر مرة اخرى مع كل حركة ..!! .. و لسبب ما ذكرني بتحفة سان لوران اوبيوم .. لكن بشكل انعم و اكثر عصرية .. عطر رائع و حالم مكونات تستحق النظر والتوقف .. تقلبات العطر رائعة و واضحة ارى ان العطر حميمي جدا في مرحلته الاخيرة .. فرانسس كاردجان انت عطارٌ رائع .. شكراً جزيلا

This is a "dad version" (that's a good thing) of a blue fragrance with more focus on woods and aromatics versus ambroxan. Smells much more refined and not as sharp, screechy, or metallic as Sauvage or Dylan Blue, neither of which I enjoy. Projection and longevity aren't great, but they don't need to be if you just wear it to the office or on a date. Sometimes you want to smell nice without the fear of choking anyone out, and this one fits the bill. I generally don't like "blue" fragrances, but this one is alright.
