Reaction

Upon recently beginning my journey into fragrance, I remembered I had some colognes lying around my bathroom somewhere. I found a bottle of Reaction that I must've gotten in a gift set for Christmas some time ago. That night I began smelling and comparing the few fragrances I had found lying dormant around my bathroom and the few I had recently purchased, things like A&F Fierce (absolutely bangin'), Dior Sauvage (birthday gift, also bangin'), and Penguin Rocks (from TJ Maxx, gf thinks it's bangin') I lifted the cap and took a whif and was blasted with that juicy, melon-y sweetness. I laughed as I pretentiously told my girlfriend that it wasn't a *bad* smell, "just very simple and juvenile", and then put it away and continued to gush over my newly arrived Dolce & Gabbana The One (EDP, of course) But, I found I couldn't get the smell of Reaction out of my brain. It haunted me, teased me... I would sneak a whiff of the bottle whenever I happened to pass by my frags, sometimes multiple times within the span of a few minutes, until much like Squidward and his ill-fated lust for Krabby Patties, I was caught red-handed by my other half Sweet, juicy melon floating on the most light, delightful ocean breeze. Imagine being on a hot beach with your hot friends in the summer, laughing and just loving life, because y'know, you're hot and life's good. It's ridiculous how light, fun, and delicious this smells. I only wish it would last longer ; I sprayed generously before work, and by lunch Reaction was only a whisper, only allowing me to catch its ethereal beauty in glimpses.... I must proclaim publicly: I LOVE KENNETH COLE REACTION!

Oh man what can I say about this beauty.. This was an extremely heavily worn cologne for me in my late teens and early twenties. It was my absolute favorite for a long while, I bought the gift sets of it so I could bathe in everything! The cologne, the body spray, the deodorant, the aftershave etc.. 10+ years have passed and my nose and maturity has changed. I recently found a little gift set of this that included a 1.7oz bottle along with the body spray. I definitely had to indulge and revisit what use to be one of my favorite fragrances. After my first whiff all the nostalgia came raining in.. I’ll stop rambling and get to the scent profile. You are hit right in the nose with an absolutely beautiful crisp, clean, aquatic apple/melon slightly citrus combo. This fragrance couldn’t be anymore crisp and clean if it tried. As it dries down you start to get some of that sandalwood and Lilly of the valley and only an ever so slight musk. Performance wise this fragrance was made to overspray! I’ve always went 8-12 sprays easy and have typically always got 4-6 hours of longevity, to be honest that’s really not bad given the notes and affordability of this fragrance. This one I feel has always been underrated.

Everyone loves the smell, but if you use only 1 spray it will be gone within 1 hour. So what I do is I put WAY to much on. But I always make sure I won't be around someone for about 30 minutes. Either way I had sprayed probably 10 sprays if not more then went to church. No one said anything, either way I stayed there the entire day and praised The Lord. (I'm Pentecostal) Either way it came time for the night service which starts around 6 but my mom got there around 5:30. So the key thing to remember is that I had sprayed on this cologne at around 10:00 that morning. But when my mom walked through the door the first thing she says is that she smelled me when she walked in! So obviously this has more power than what I expected. So really the more you spray the longer it will last and the more silage you will get. So I'd say about 5 sprays MAX unless you live in a cold climate. This is really a spring/summer fragrance. Smell 8/10 Longevity with 5 sprays is moderate Silage with 5 sprays is between moderate and heavy (3 feet)

I heard this was a good cologne and got a small bottle 15ml for under $15 at ross'. Smells fruit and watermelon and a bit of apple off the initial spray, dies down and has a nice circa 2000s musk smell with very very brief apple/fruit smell. Reminds me of a bod spray from early 2000s that smelled similar but died down to nothing after 5-10minutes. This stuff sticks around a few hours. Not a power house where you can spray and smell 12 hours later sorry fellas LOL The citrus and fruits smell is just mixed enough where its not overpowering/feminine smelling if that makes sense. Then once it dies down the blend smells surprisingly masculine. Nick named this "watermelon diesel" cause of the melon and stingy/chemmy smell off of it. Very safe scent would buy a bigger bottle if I found a good deal on it. DEF summer/warm weather spray, not that appealing for cold winter months with all the fruit and citruses. 8/10

I can understand that this cologne is not for everyone. That's understandable because it's so fruity and sweet for a man's fragrance. However, this is my number 1 favorite cologne so far. Hands down, actually. Signature scent for me, as far as my friends are concerned. No matter how many times I smell it or wear it, I have a smile on my face. My girlfriend just can't get enough of it either. I don't think anyone could make melon so unique and intriguing as this. Perfection. It's as timeless as a fruit oriented scent ever could be. I think that it is pretty masculine, albeit young and energetic. Think sporty, fresh, fruity, happy, exciting, hopeful, and carefree all wrapped into one. Honestly, if this was discontinued anytime soon, I would cry.

Yeah I like this one. The opening is watermelon, very sweet. Melon, sandalwood, patchouli and musk. Badass combination. My favorite is the drydown. It becomes tangy as the musk and patchouli start doing their thing and the watermelon fades. Sweet tangy combo for me is about as good as it gets. Longevity is a non-issue. Great subtle fragrance that won't get on my nerves, or someone elses nerves when it is 90 degrees with 90% humidity. In fact that is where this shines. You won't offend anyone with Reaction and, you will get 3 to 4 hours of moderate sillage, and another 3 to 4 hours after that in your personal space. Perfect for you or your other half to enjoy at the end of the day.

Ok, just got this cologne today, and put it on just before - one word: Heaven. Wow! where do i start. Opens with an amazing watermelon/melon scent, that just drove me crazy - watermelon is my favorite fruit! Im onto the base notes now which smells like that lemon/lime sherbet - very soft and light though, thanks to the musk that just makes me comfortable and smell yummy. Jeez - i really love this scent, and this was a blind buy as well, going by what all other reviews are, and im glad i got it, ive never had this cologne before, so this is definitely a keeper to my collection! Extremely impressed! 10/10!

This smells exactly like Bod Man Fresh Guy, which was my go to scent in high school. I always got compliments. This stuff here though just does not perform. Bod Man should perform much worse considering it’s extremely low price, despite this cologne also being very inexpensive as well. This is a beautiful citrusy, sweet, fresh, beachy concoction that sadly just doesn’t perform, yet I still give it a 5/5 because of how immaculate it smells. Hopefully they will release an intense version someday. It’s a sin that this doesn’t have 6 foot sillage. We’d all be getting swarmed with compliments.

Really really lovely fresh fragrance is how I would describe this one. The melon comes straight away and this has to be one of my favourite notes, so refreshing and subtle there's lots of green apple too just wonderful. The patchouli comes on later and it feels wonderfully fresh & soapy on my skin. I noticed before I got this, lots of people saying it had no staying power and I figured that was probably true, due to the subtle melonee notes. However, on my skin it has lasted really well and matured nicely throughout the day. It's a lovely summery fragrance Im happy with it.

Still have a bottle of this almost classic, been out 13 years already, almost forgot about it. Great spring-fall scent here, great for nighttime. I easily got 5 hours on my skin being outside in San Diego today. I haven't worn this one much but it truly does smell great. So many other colognes after this have copied it's scent, this was definitely an original. Scent:8 Longevity:6 Sillage:5 Unique/Industry First:7 Quality:7 Kenneth Cole always make quality products, if you like citrus and fruit, this is a great nighttime citrus. I've never had a woman not love this scent.

Deep leathery watermelon is how this plays out on my skin. I LOVE the scent, I just wish it lasted longer. I find this very similar to Jimmy Choo Man, but luckily, it does last a LITTLE longer than the Jimmy Choo. The scent of Reaction is also much better, to my nose. This is the most popularly worn scent among my friends here, in a big city in the Midwestern USA, and now I see why. But one word of advice - bring an atomizer if you plan to impress with this scent. You're gonna need it if you want a "Reaction" out of this one beyond the 5 hour mark.

A crisp citrusy skin scent, Reaction is super unisex. The opening is a little harsh but it dies down almost immediately. What you get is a light, fruity, almost vanillic musk (a clean musk, think Jovan). It’s safe but really lovely, given the synthetic profile. The longevity is decent, with little silage, so you won’t be offending a crowd with this sweet juice. If you work in an environment where you must be up close to others, are someone who prefers something light, or your significant other isn’t a heavy scent fan, this is for you.

One of my favorite college colognes. Young men you should get this stuff for sure. I remember when I first bought the bottle and gave it to a couple girlfriends to smell. 1st words were "Yummy, delicious and good choice" back then the opening spray to me was a melon bomb exploding fresh Great for day and summer. I still have a bottle. I don't use it as much.Its overly sweet to me nowadays. Occasionally I'll wear it to work. I still get asked what am I wearing? And compliments about the smell. It'll always remind me of my early 20's.

This frag must have been made for my skin specifically! So long lasting! It can go the entire day and then into night and still have someone say, "you smell good." Fresh, clean, fruity, non confrontational and a total pleasure to wear or be in the presence of someone wearing it. I have to admit this was one of those frags I first encountered on a stranger and went "woah. what are you wearing, strange guy that I don't know." Bought it ASAP and have gone through at least 8 bottles since. 9/10 Scent 9/10 Longevity 8/10 Sillage

A personal favorite of mine. It has a certain metallic, sweet yet bold fragrance you'll find in nearly any aquatic (Nautica) cologne, but perfectly balanced to the common person's senses. Imagine Axe Phoenix (bear with me), but fine tuned into a modern and pleasantly protective, "Wow, what is that?" attention grabber. Plus it doesn't smell like a high school locker room. I've been complemented many times wearing this and recommend it to the younger croud looking for a fragrance that attracts.

Amazing scent ! Fresh , Fruity , Clean and Green. It smells so good and very pleasant. Reaction opens up with like fresh fruity watermelon bubblegum , citrusy and green apple in the background then dry down is musky. The watermelon note is dominant in this fragrance. It is perfect for the spring and summer. This perfume reminds me of Polo Blue for Men. I really enjoy it and I love it. Highly Recommended. Two Thumbs Up. Bravo Kenneth Cole ! Rating : 8 /10

Bought this for my husband because I was getting really tired of Farenheit. (I have a co-worker who wears it daily, and after being pregnant, I couldn't stand it anymore.) Fresh, clean, masculine. Sporty without the sharp, nostril-flaring bite. Bought a cologne/shower gel set - scent lingers in the shower - which is sexy when I step in after he's been in it and I smell him mingled with the fragrance. It blends well with his chemistry. A little citrusy.

One of my favorites of all time. For many many years, this was my primary daily driver. Light, easy to wear, very sweet. That melon and green apple are ultra prominent off the top. Not sure I get the patchouli that is listed here at all. Dries down to an ultra-light sandalwood. Early projection is ok. Longevity is super weak, someone might smell it close to your skin 5 hours later. Inoffensive for the office or gym. Could be unisex.

My boyfriend recently bought this for himself. I absolutely LOVE it! I'm more of a fruity/aquatic person, but this smells great on him. I can't tell you the life of the fragrance, but that smell is absolutely enticing. We had gone to the store Perfumania, and they had this great deal on Kenneth Cole fragrances - a 3 piece gift set for the price of the 3.4oz fragrance. Awesome deal. Amazing scent. Just can't get enough!

Your drying down heart is wonderful, oh yes it is, cos you are the happy offspring of your harmoniously and gracefully dancing parents : Mr.Sandalwood and Mrs.Musk. You are actually so full of wonder that you've been promoted from the middle to the top shelf - off you go up, you...you irresistable one. And may the light light of the early summer stay with your heart untill the very sweet end...

This is the best smelling perfume (only with in first few mins) I've ever got to know. Opening is awesome, fruity with touch of spicy background, and natural. but sad it doesn't last and quickly settle down on the middle/base note which I don't like at all. If the opening smell can last for few hours this could be my best perfume. And I think girls love this, you can understand why..

Really happy to have picked this fragrance up especially before this heat wave!! A very "tropical melon freshie " that does well in the summer heat and humidity....plus it's a good smelling cheapie.... I get roughly 3 - 5 hours with medium projection which is OK with me. I have a few different uses like pool and beach days for this summer. 7.5/10

My ex-boyfriend used to wear this scent and it never failed to drive me wild. It smelled SO good on him! It is a very fresh and invigorating fragrance and on him I would get this scent of rosemary (a fave of mine). Fond, fond memories long after the passion and love are gone. When I smell this in a crowd of men I smile and glance around for him.

Nice, clean, fresh, fruity, and electric! This is one of my staple fragrances and this is one of my favorites for casual settings and warmer weather. This to me is one of the best fruity scents for a man. The melon, watermelon and citrus notes stand out to me the most. I give this a 9.5/10

Very fresh and safe to wear for almost any occasion. This is my go to for any spring/summer event where I need to dress up a little. It's just a classy, crowd pleasing scent. Won't offend or choke anybody out, very well balanced and quiet. Highly recommend! 9.5/10

Love the smell. Its unique, lasts a reasonable amount of time, and the price is right. What else can you ask for? My boyfriend of 15 years says this was the cologne I was wearing when we met. He also thinks it smells great 7/10 Great fruity cologne, safe blind buy

Genuinely smells fantastic. Light, clean, airy, and fresh. Has absolutely no performance and dissipates rather quickly. It’s cheap, so I just keep a bottle as my “car cologne” and when I need to freshen up quick I just spray this one a few times.

Me and my husband (then fiance) bought this together. Its what a man should smell like! its a smell that you'll never forget. Better smelling after you shower. Lingers on clothes but after a full days work you need to reapply.

Fresh, green. melon and apple makes it so exquisitely delicious smelling. This is such a fantastic summer smell. I love this fragrance, one of my all time faves. Doesn't last forever but it's a real people pleaser.

The most attractive summer cologne ever made. I don't care what anybody says. Of course, it's not a projector and doesn't last long but that's irrelevant. The smell defeats everything, just amazing.

One of the best and most unique colognes out there, sweet, melony, sour, like a bite of kiwi fruit, very sweet and tropical-fresh. Have had women respond well to it, verbally also.

I like this perfume so much..it's light yet memorable..it makes people around you want to get close and sniff on you.. one of my favourite all time collections.. (*_^)..

One of my favorite smelling men’s fragrances ever used it since I was a kid but as many have said it just doesn’t preform well unfortunately.

My wife has bought me two or three bottles, when she notices I'm out she buys me another one, that should tell you all you need to know

I love Reaction! It's perfect for summer! I just wish my boyfriend could wear it, but it sadly doesn't sit well with him.

Just a happy, fresh, fruity summer scent. Can’t go wrong. Perfect blind buy.

Ball Squad approved , spray your apple bag and she'll Love you long time

Excellent beautiful scent.so fresh energyc.

I want to start out by saying cjsux’s review enticed me to try this; the idea this smelled like the “Frutiger Aero” aesthetic was extremely enticing. Cjsux, you were right on the money. 🌟 Very brisk and fruity right off the bat. The melon, mostly fresh watermelon with a bit of cantaloupe mixed in to provide a subtle juiciness underneath. Was expecting this to be a very dense, almost-syrupy melon scent similar to candy or a melon nectar-style juice, but this was actually a lot more airy than I expected. I was pleasantly surprised as it accomplishes a smooth sweetness without being too cloying in the summertime. Gives off an air of simple, unadulterated optimism thats refreshing to experience, fitting right in line with the Mid-2000’s Aero aesthetic of colorfully-rendered and digitized display of forward-thinking and positivity. On a more cynical note, other reviews mentioning that the longevity is poor are sadly correct from my experience. It only lasts maybe a couple hours before I feel the need to re-spray a few times. I noticed I would end up re-spraying a few times throughout my workday, which I don’t do with most fragrances. The projection is also relatively soft unless you’re in direct heat. I find it somewhat counterintuitive because the Kenneth Cole Reaction line is mostly dress suits and office-wear, as opposed to casual outdoor summertime clothing. A sweet, sparkling watermelon fragrance that relies on sunshine to reveal itself is not what I would expect from such a line, though I suppose it fits with the sunshine-soaked early/mid-2000s feel. I was always curious to try this, and I picked up a 15 mL bottle at Ross for maybe $9. For the price it was very pleasant blast from the past type of scent, and I appreciate it. I just wish it lasted for a few more hours. It smells like the brisk air, and it performs like it too.

All in all i still have to say this a decent cologne and even though this was 1 of my first colognes I still to this day enjoy it even though my collection has shifted to having 100+ bottles. With that said theres still some strong pros and cons with this fragrance. The main pro of this fragrance is the smell. It opens up with a big old blast of fruits. Everyone in fragrantica gets the melon but I personally get mainly Watermelon and apple. If your a big fan of fruity,fresh scents you will surely love this but on other end of the spectrum if you despise youthful,fruity scents stay FAR away from this scent.lol.... In the heart you still have the fruitiness of the top but then after 5 mins I get the patchouli and sandalwood and it really smoothes this fragrance out while still keeping the freshness. The drydown is pretty much the same except that in the heart id say you smell 60% fruit 40% woods and patchouli while in the drydown it reverses and you get 60% woods and patchouli and 40% fruit. (YES, on my skin the fruitness is still prevalent all the way to end of this fragrance) I do have to say I love this scent for those hot days that I dont want to wear something to heavy :) The cons of this fragrance is performance... longevity is spotty on me lasting anywhere from 3-6 hours mainly staying around the 3-4 hrs. Projection on this is above average for about 30mins and then dies down to a skin scent for the duration of the fragrance. All in id rate this a 7 out of 10 ! Solid scent that will get you noticed and good for compliments but performance could deffinitly be better Sidenote: This would be great for running errands or a work scent (if you work part time hours) as its very inoffensive and non-intrusive Also 1 difference I get that no one else mentions is that in the base of this I get a lot of sandalwood.

if you want to smell like the frutiger aero aesthetic, this shit will be your jesus. i found this while shopping at ross to see if i could get any good warm-spicy winter frags. looked at the notes, saw it was 10 dollars, and knew i had to buy. obviously this is a first-day review, it hasn't macerated at all, so i may come back if its profile changes a noticeable amount. but anyway, here's my review: the opening notes i couldn't get into too much on the first spray, but they definitely grew on me. the watermelon aldehydes are SO good, but that's also coming from someone who loves the smell of cut-up watermelon and has wanted a fragrance with those notes for a while. it takes a step back for the floral middle notes when they open up, and it was kind of cloying every time i lifted my wrist to smell it. it smelled almost EXACTLY like the softsoap aquarium collection hand soaps. that was definitely harder to get into but i think it'll grow on me. writing this about 4-5 hours later, it's softened into the base notes of musk and sandalwood, and there's a tiny hint of the opening aldehydes that i really love. that being said, as a new collector, i am SO glad i copped this and will absolutely be using it when summer comes around. this will probably not be for you if you're not into notes of lily-of-the-valley, as that is most of what you will get when the middle notes come around. as stated at the beginning, if you're into frutiger aero and want to smell like it, definitely buy. the entire time i was wearing this i felt like i was inside an early 2000s microsoft windows screen, or one of those transparent plastic mouses with water on the inside.

Reaction by Kenneth Cole is part citrus and part fruity aromatic, in my opinion, with some floral green thrown in for good measure. The light translucent green bottle and clear juice hints at the actual aroma pretty well, I think... This begins with a watery, sweet melon burst slightly soured (in a good way) from the granny smith apple and the lemon. KCR is bright, cool and all-in-all quite refreshing. It is fruity in a very agreeable way, and not that heavy or syrupy at all. At first, I thought there were violet leaves in this, and now see (and smell) it is the muguet giving it the sheer green aura along with the earthy and sexy patchouli. Some may call this "girly", (in fact my mom wears it occasionally) but overall it is pretty manly; despite the fruits and flowers. This is most likely due to the base of musk and sandalwood, giving it a clean and dry woody finish most women (and a lot of men) find irresistable. Sillage: quite good Longevity: good Overall: 3.5/5 True to its name, this scent always gets a "reaction"-sometimes compliments...and oftentimes a phone number or invite for coffee. Whenever I wear this scent, someone inevitably says "Wow! You smell good!". Great for summertime, and not too bad the rest of the year. This is sweeter and sharper than cK1 Electric and not as "soapy" as Cologne by TM, but it is worth having and keeps up with the "Big Boys" pretty well. I more than like this, but can't honestly say I love it; but it is pretty yummy stuff and worth having...

Nicer than I expected. It's like Versace Versense, but more intense in citrus plus some apples. Why they bothered to market this for men is beyond me. It's totally unisex. I got lots of lime. A bit surprised to see lime voted not as one of the key notes in here. Dry down smells like melon. I find it acceptable and inoffensive. Drawbacks: 1. This thing becomes skin scent as soon as a few minutes in. You get a good amount of projection for the first few minutes and then... it's skin scent. 2. It can get salty on the skin easily. I don't know if salt or sea note is an ingredient in this one, but the lime, melon, and watermelon combo has a potential to get salty on the skin. However, this should be manageable, I suppose. 3. Longevity = 0. This scent is on my skin for about a quarter to an hour and it's gone. Terrible in that department. I'd get Reaction over Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue pour Homme, though I'd choose Versace Versense over this. A good scent to wear here and there in summer. Grab a bottle if you're on a budget and want a decent citrus fragrance.

This is a beautiful and delicious light scent; like summertime in a bottle. Opening: Fresh. The wonderful smell of juicy watermelon and crisp green apple mix harmoniously and pleasantly with sandalwood. Loved it. Sillage: Wont turn heads, but can be noticed by a person when they get about 1-2 feet away. Longevity: Is reasonable, for the type of fragrance it is. On me it lasted about 2-3 hours with moisturized skin. Gripes: So delicious, but so light in depth. Since this is the old version I wont expound, but I think KC Reaction Connected was a step in the right direction. This one just needed more...oomph. Best for: A day out in the summer heat, its just going to fit perfectly with a casual summer day. Tank tops, flip flops and shades out on the lawn. Overall: For me, this one was sealed up at first smell, I like it a lot. I like it because it always makes me think of kicking back on a red-checkerboard picnic cloth in the park with my shades on, while my friends eat watermelon and play frisbee. Sweet relaxation. 7/10

This is a scent im really surprised isnt talked about more ! And was actually a scent my gf picked out on her on for me and its 1 I can say that we both really enjoy :) This scent is a very juicy,sweet,fruity fragrance that the watermelon and apple are very dominant in so if your fans of those notes deffinitly give this 1 a try. This scent is also pretty linear but once it dries down it remains fruity but loses some of that juiciness from the top but then smooths out more and gets slightly more woody. This really is a beautiful fragrance and 1 of the scents my gf asks me to wear and I can honestly see why. Performance on this is where it loses some marks for me though. With this 1 you have to spray a good bit (5-6 sprays) just to get average projection (this scent stays pretty close to the skin) and even then it only lasts 3-6hrs Overall id have to give this a rating of 6.75 out of 10 ! Great smell, below average performance

I've purchased a total 4 bottles for my husband. When this first came out, I had previously never smelled a sweet cologne for men, I absolutely loved it! He didn't like it as much, but that changed after he received many compliments from female co-workers. When a burly man, with a beard, wears a melon scent... I think it accentuates his masculinity. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Edit: I finally wore this myself (I still feel its on the masculine side). My husband always complained about the staying power, and I'd have to agree with him, after 4 hours it was very faint on my skin. After 6 hours, I feel pretty confident saying it was non-existant. My hubby says he wipes his hands on his shirt after splashing this on his chest, fabric holds the scent very well.

LOVE IT. LOVE IT. LOVE IT SO fresh!! Reaction is sheer, clean, and sexy. It's somewhat fruity (Melony and citrusy) in a good masculine way. Modern wear for everyday everytime & every season. Suitable for younger men with big boys' attitudes. The scent just smells so attractive to my nose. Something about Kenneth Cole Reaction is unintentionally sexy and that how I like it!! True it's light and the wearer might not be able to smell it after a while. BUT!!! it does not mean that it's not there. Reaction is playful & inviting in the most modest way: a skin scent. Closeness is required to enjoy the reactions you get from this Reaction. Longivity?? It depends on your skin chemistry. 6+ hours on my boyfriend's chest, Reaction stays ... hmm delicious.

Great spring summer fragrance its light airy a little sweet a little floral a little citrusy and a tad bit fruity overall very nice kind of unisex women like it my girl loves it I give this a 9 out of 10 would be a perfect 10 but its so light it kind of disappears after a few hours more so becomes a skin scent its a scent you can apply up to 8 sprays and you won't offend or choke people out and the best part is its really affordable around the holidays I got a set for $32 came with 1.7oz and two 3.4oz body wash I also found the deodorant and body spray at perfumania you'll need it to get a little more lasting out of it but its still a excellent scent you need to add it to your collection if you don't own it

Reaction is a classic summer staple for a young guy. Heavy melon off the top. Settles into the common (maybe less common now) synthetic musk. It's super fruity, a tiny bit woody, and very youthful. Reminds me a lot of the early 2000s cologne trends. Was super generic then but that trend has passed and I actually don't smell Reaction, or similar scents, as often now. Longevity is just a bit below average on my skin: 3-5 hours. This isn't an issue as this is purely a day time, casual/gym scent for me. Don't want those lasting. A 7.0/10. I actually like this scent a lot. It's super casual, smells good, gets compliments, and is very cheap. Easily has a home in a warm weather or gym rotation.

Very nice, fresh, fruity, intense fragrance in the opening. Melon, watermelon, lily of the valley. It's very nice. Perfect pick me up for spring and summer. Yes, it only lasts on me about 2-3 hours tops. But, during that time, it's great. I came to this party very late; I hear it's now discontinued. What was a low cost fray, it's now going for $85 on Amazon??? What the heck. People are price gouging worse than the IRS. eBay prices have gone up 50% on this $20 fragrance. So now, I have to pay over $35 for it? Nope. I can enjoy the Nautica Sport and get better performance at a lower cost too. Close enough for me. But, I can at least say; I came, I saw, I tried, I liked. 🙏
