This is a challenging wear for some, offering a raw, green, and unapologetically masculine scent. While many hail it as a superb GIT dupe with beastly performance, a fair few find the opening a bit too much, comparing it to cleaning products or even urinal cakes. Give it time; the drydown is where the magic happens.

Skip. This one's an identity crisis in a bottle, getting mixed up with other L'Aventure clones and failing to hit a mark of its own. It's a nice enough airy floral, but performance is a real issue for many, making it a questionable blind buy.
