This one's a proper mixed bag, isn't it? For some, it's a classy, versatile gem punching well above its price tag, a refined "gentleman's scent" that performs. For others, it's a generic, synthetic mess that evokes cheap aftershave. Definitely not a safe blind buy, despite what some reviewers say.

This Tuxedo clone is a bit of a Jekyll and Hyde, opening with a blast that's quite divisive. Give it time to settle, though, and you'll find a sophisticated, smooth dry-down that charms some, while leaving others wanting a bit more pizazz. A bit hit-or-miss, and perhaps not a blind buy.
