Active

So for $7, this is a Great scent. I haven't seen it at the discounter I found it at again along with all the other Pecksniffs that I purchased (I also got Classic and Business)... I figured it would be difficult to pass up at the price since I liked the accord description. I do smell grapefruit off the top very strongly. I do not get very much lime or bergamot. The opening is fresh and clean and invigorating, which you would expect by the name of the cologne, Active. I do not get any vetiver, but it could be that it is more Moss that I'm selling. I pick up the Sandalwood and musk in the base quite a bit. For the money, this is as good as it gets... The projection is arm's-length in the last 3 to 4 hours. You can douse yourself in this bottle and make it go further, for the price. I really do enjoy the scent at the opening. I do not believe that this is a very complex fragrance but for what it is it is very well made. I'm surprised I don't see this out more often in retailers. This is definitely a daytime scent for summer weather. Opening 4/5 longevity 2/5 sillage 3/5 The atomizer might be the worst I've ever seen. It is just leaking all over me now when I spray it. The grapefruit really is invigorating.

Great mandarin, cedarwood and a tiny bit of bubblegum in the scent. Very refreshing, perfect for summer. Originally, I thought it's the weakest performing fragrance I've ever had, but after owning it for a month and trying it again recently, I realised its longevity might've increased by the maceration process as it's actually performing much better now. I think projection has been bad anyways from the beginning but the scent remains much longer on my clothes now than before. So, I'd say wait a little bit with this and check it out again after a couple of months. Great cheapie, but it doesn't smell cheap to me as it has a very realistic, refreshing and juicy mandarin smell, so I think it's definitely worth it. Ladies also love it by the way, but probably won't smell it unless they're close. 9/10

Picked this up a few days ago at T.j. Maxx. Smells about 95% like banana republic classic.

I don't get why the bottle says Mandarin but this says bergamot, grapefruit and lime for the top notes. This is a pleasant citrusy scent and I only got it for 8 dollars at TJ Maxx. This is perfect if you're looking for something simple and pleasant. A great warm weather fragrance. This smells just like Mandarin orange and it's fresh and zesty. I do get a little bit of woods as well. This is a nice easy fresh fragrance. Go for it! I give this a 8.4/10

This is ok. A nice cheapie but good performance. It's very similar to boss bottled but the sandlewood makes it more woodier. I don't think the scent itself is amazing but decent for the day. Opening was a bit zesty but then it dries down into an average scent.
