Mandarina Duck Blue

Wow, feel like im the only one to sign the nerdy girl's yearbook. Maybe she's not that quiet and nerdy though. Once you actually take a serious look at her you start to see things none have cared to even notice. Take off her glasses and shes got beautiful blue eyes that equal and surpass many of the popular girls. An aquatic note like so many but a nice zingy one just as good as adg. Get her behind closed doors and shes actually a freak that doesn't play games. An agressive violet leaf note gives her this edge and even gives slight hits of dior farenheit. Shes still a lady and has a soft gentle side, a sweetness from the amber and tonka but of course shes not like all your basic girls, the cedar makes sure of that. Best part is shes low maintenance, no need for moet and caviar, at $20 shes a sure bet. Being that there are no other reviews I guess shes hard to get even though she's far from stuck up. While she's familiar, she definitely unique of you take the time to look deeper. I would say she's on par with her sister pure black. 8/10 Oops I shouldn't kiss n tell.

i think its a great summer fragrance. lasts fairly long for a summer fragrance, about 4-6 hours. very cheap. 8/10

I enjoy the fragrance but the longevity's really poor. I get maybe an hour to hour and a half and it's gone! Seems to be the trend with any 'Fresh' or 'Aquatic' fragrance...

If You'd like nothing more than toned down, more aquatic and less citrusy Acqua Di Gio- there it is. Mandarina Duck is fairly inexpensive, that's worth considering too, right?:) My fireds seem to like it, it really shines when it's hot and dry- I am sure of that. Fresh, crip and reminds of the sea or ocean. Personally I find it really good and I could like it...to the point where it settles down. Then it's starting to smell like Acqua Di Gio...Similarity to ADG is such a drag to me. Pretty apparent musk tone simply irks me. Reminds me of summer parties, but not the good ones. The ones with a lot of really sweaty people and cheap parfumes.

This one is quite foul. There is definitely a tiny resemblance to Aqua Di Gio, but minus the citruses, fruits, woods, florals and everything that smells good, then add in and amp up an aquatic (seaweed/ocean) smell to 10. Not sure how to describe it, other than smelling like an extremely cheap and poorly done old women perfume. Absolutely disgusting, scrubbed it off almost immediately.

It has a nice citrusy opening. And that's all. Weak scent. For those who just want a scent to wear. Not for experienced noses, very cheap and synthetic feeling.
