Atol

this is a good perfume it is a 212 sexy men clone right after you spray, the smell is not good afterwards, the smell becomes very very similar to 212, but more rough and irritating to the nose 212 is better blended, smooth, harmonious atol has more disarmony between the ingredients, and a stronger smell with an alcohol note that will hurt your nose and that will override the other notes, especially the sweeter aspect that 212 has 212 is more shy and close to the skin from the start atol will push smell about an arms length when you apply, and leave a trail 212 won't last long in warm weather. it will take about 2 hours to stop pushing smell and more 2 hours to feel like a cologne. as it wears down, the more woody and spicy notes lose strength and 212 becomes an even smoother fragrance that invites people close atol lasts much longer, 3 hours around an arms length away and more 3 hours around a palms length away. the smell remains strong. however, the most lasting part of the scent is that strong alcohol-like smell. it still will smell very similar to 212, but the alcohol note will overwhelm the other aromas even more as hours go by overall use atol if you want the cost benefit, to project a lot of smell for people nearby, to have something that will last many hours and keep projecting even in hot weather, and if you enjoy perfumes that smell strong and have more of an alcohol note use 212 if you don't like strong smells or alcohol smell, if you prefer fragrances that are more equilibrated and comfortable, if you would like something that invites people who are already in close contact to come even closer and smell you, without irritating their nose, and if you don't mind lower longevity or don't live somewhere with hot weather personally, i prefer 212 exactly because it is smoother and doesn't project as much. but by using 212, i have to accept that i won't ever push out smell and that i won't ever get longevity, and that spraying twice is enough
