I was able to snag this for about $12 on an Amazon prime deal. And for that price (and the original) my expectations weren’t very high. But overall this fragrance impressed me. It’s very fresh, but it doesn’t lean too much on sharp pungent citrus like many other cheaper freshies. It has a watery, almost dewy vibe from the green and woody notes that goes really nicely on a rainy day, but what I really love the most is the distinct Lychee note. Not many men’s fragrances use this, which I find to be a shame. The lychee is very juicy but not in a candied cloying way, it adds to the wateriness giving it a sweet full bodied fruitiness. The only gripe I really have on this frag is longevity and projection, both of which are poor, even for this price point. I only get about 3 hours of noticeable projection and by hour 5 it completely turns to a skin scent. Definitely need to carry a decant to reapply through the day. But for $12, I really can’t complain. It’s a very pleasant, lighthearted yet still masculine freshie that I will be wearing on rainy cloudy days in the spring here in Seattle.

Will revisit this for review but I got this as a gift. I love the bottle. HEAVY metal cap!!
