A little better every time I wear it. Quite punchy with the Jasmine and chamomile for a good while and really…one wrist spray on the skin is enough to last you all day. Trust me. This isn’t one I’d suggest spraying on your neck or chest until you’re well acquainted with it. I did however blend it into a 2 mil atomizer of vintage bowling green. maybe five drops or so. It’s really beautiful. On its own I can see how some folks say it has a bit of a Brut dry down, but It’s not powdery like Brut is. It’s loud and waxy and pretty straight forward and suitable for a man who isn’t afraid to smell of florals. This will get you more compliments than you’d expect. Out of my 10 different bottles of colognes, this one shot to the number two spot for my wife. Give it some time to mellow out a bit if you don’t like it at first. It’s not like anything you’ll find at the Macy’s counter for men. Update: months later it has gotten a little too urinal cakey to my nose and I can’t justify keeping a fragrance I don’t love for its whole life. I sold it to someone who really liked it. Update: four months later and I’m smelling my 10 ml decant. It’s turned super pissy in the worst way. I don’t know if the few drops of Bowling Green changed it, but nothing in BG is pissy at all. Either way, no thanks. Live and learn. Not into Jasmine.
