This is the scent a guy at my work wears, and it matches his lack of personality perfectly. This is the kind of gaudy bro-juice with an embarrassingly tacky bottle that will get some counter girl a commission (I’m looking at you too Burberry Hero EDP) and go home in a fancy bag with some chump who paid full retail at the mall. While it lasts and projects, what it projects is a lack of discernment. Yeah, it’ll get a girls attention if she’s got no taste, but if you’re into interesting, distinct, or complex fragrances this will be Beau-ring as heck. Safely modern. Unisex (in that it doesn’t fit either). Punishingly uninspired. A real Bisch of trash.
Got a 3ml sample and gave it to my son. It’s serviceable with decent longevity. Kind of a cousin to something like Chanel Platinum Egoiste. A nice clean fresh scent profile with added points from me for not being sweet or vanillic, but not worth a full bottle purchase. I think Canyon is the best thing I’ve smelled from B&BW. I wish they’d bring back Gardenia and Sweet Pea perfumes for women. Those were freaking HEAVENLY.
Chef’s kisses all round! Mpwuh mpwuh mpwuh! You can totally go ham on this motherjammer! It is work safe (got a slew of compliments today at work and people asking what it was). So far my new bottle has disappointing longevity. Let it macerate if you can, and see if it gets better. If someone notices it, they’ll like it. I frickin’ love it. It was an instant love. It’s really well blended and basically a blue collar Cartier Declaration. I have smelled all of the Declaration flankers and this beats em’ all by a lot. One of the best blind buys EVER! I’ll be buying a backup bottle for sure. I never want to be without this. Update: I didn’t buy a second bottle, but I still like it. My wife doesn’t love it on me. Oh well. I’m still keeping it.
Sold it the day I bought it after reading that it had a “Republican-like” scent on the A.I. generated comments on fragrantica.
Man, I really wanted to like this. I can’t get into the heavy cinnamon and dated spice note in the opening and mid. I also can’t justify keeping a perfume that’s only to my liking moderately during the very tail end of the dry down when it’s pretty much base notes only. I respect this perfume, I just don’t enjoy it, and it’s not for me.
Had to blind buy this one. It has some high praise from some reviewers on YouTube, and I’ve always loved the smell of actual unlit sweet pipe tobacco (which is what I was hoping this would smell like). It’s loud as heck, but for me it came up short in the complexity category, and the scent profile in general. I’d say if you want to enjoy this absolute beastly performer, spray it on a shirt you’re going to wear in a couple days from about four feet away. Feels like something is missing, and it smells pretty synthetic with some far too distant vague powdery wood notes. Overall, it may need time to macerate, but this one is the reason I won’t buy clones or perfumes from the UAE again. Hey at least I learned something and I sold it to an older gentleman who likes it mostly because it gets wanted attention from the lady in his life.
Let’s be clear, Prada makes some quality fragrances. They definitely have a vibe. Usually soft, mature, inoffensive, powdery, and ambery. This one is a great example. I’m sure they set out to make what they ended up with. For me, it was a little too safe, gentle, mature, and boring. It actually smells a lot like the inside of an antique wooden refrigerator that I used to keep my comic books and incense in as a kid. Not bad, just not for me.
Classy, clean, easygoing, approachable, unpretentious. This to me is the best perfume Versace has out currently. It’s really pleasant and not cloying or too mature. It has a green stemmy sharpness that I don't smell in other women's perfumes. For the woman or girl who is cool and confident enough to smell clean and fresh without trying to be alluring or seductive. It’s also not too tweenish or sweet. It’s restrained and polite, and causes one to lean closer. I love it on my wife. I combined a bit of it in a .5 oz. bottle of Bowling Green and I use it as my bedtime scent. It’s the only women’s perfume I’d actually buy for myself, and yes I’m a little jealous of my wife’s bottle I bought her. 10/10
Beautiful bottle presentation. This is really well blended. I liked it right off the bat. The great thing for citrus and floral lovers is that the top notes that typically wear off the fastest, last FOREVER with this one. If you are thinking of buying it because you heard it smells similar to Bowling Green, don’t. It doesn’t. Like at all. This has some nice lavender amber qualities that make it modern and some sharp herbaceous bright citruses that permeate the entire lifespan of the scent. My son and my wife called it unisex. Because she wasn’t super into it, I sold it to a good friend at work who really really was. I have no regrets blind buying it because seeing my friend get excited about it made me really happy. I also know that practically nobody else in the states is wearing this or talking about it.
I was surprised at how much I liked the smell in the air when my friend sprayed it on. I could smell it from about 6 feet away. In my experience that was the best way to enjoy it. My only qualm was that up close on my skin it has a bit of a spit smell in there among the lavender. This alone was enough for me to sell it. Oh well, it’s worth a try, but IN NO WAY did this smell like Bowling Green. If you read that it does, don’t believe it. It’s pretty one dimensional masculine lavender. I don’t know why they had to put so much dye in it either. Just make the bottle green.
