24 Carat White Gold

This has to be one of my best buys. For $20, it’s just an amazing fresh cologne. It’s a dumb reach, blind-buy safe, non-offensive, and not overly linear. I love geranium, so I might be a little biased, but the geranium note here is beautiful. It has that familiar freshness you get from Dolce & Gabbana, Nautica, and Versace fragrances. So nice. The tonka, vetiver, and lavender round everything out really well. I honestly can’t imagine many people disliking this unless they think it’s too basic or complain about the lower longevity. Other than that, it’s very good. It feels like Aventus DNA, Acqua di Giò DNA, and Cool Water DNA all blended into one fragrance. 8/10

At first, the opening kinda stung a bit. The citrus smelled sour at first, but after shelving it for half a year and bringing it out for spring, the scent had almost completely changed. What started sour was now much fresher, like walking by a lemon tree by the ocean. Whether it be maceration or just not using it for the cold, I’ve come around to really enjoy this scent and use it when the temps get hotter than usual.

In high school and up until I was 21 I wore 212 Men NYC Carolina Herrera, it was my favorite at the time. I’m 43 now and I have been looking to purchase it but never got around to it, well i blind bought this 24 Carat White Gold at Burlington and lo and behold it took me back to 1999 all over again and I don’t need to purchased the 212 anymore 😁

It’s very nice fragrance at first I thought it smelled similar to usher UR. after wearing it a few times it’s more of a mix between DG light blue and creed aventus. While being similar to those fragrances it’s also has its own unique smell and feel. The oud and Tonka make it similar but uniquely different. Great longevity 7-9 hrs on skin 12+ on clothes sillage great also. Around 4-5 hours at 3-5 feet away.

This one reminds me a good bit of BdC Parfum, woody and citrusy with a little bit of spice. It smells very nice, and I don't pick up on anything too synthetic or harsh. Longevity and projection are a bit lacking, though, but I can't complain considering it only cost me $21. Overall, it's a good scent with good value.
