oh dear. This fragrance is a real chameleon, cool bottle, unusual name, herbal/woody opening but sadly dries down to the same old Solo accord. This is why I've put all the Solo's in 'reminds me of'...because it does. I'm not a hater when it somes to this line, I own Solo platinum and I'm an admirer of the brand, but redundant flankers annoy me slightly. Most of the time I couldn't care less about them, or let them bother me but when they promise a different experience and deliver much the same, it irks me slightly. I suppose the opening being a fresh, fir like pine and woods/clean cardamom/vetiver smell sets you up for something else to what you eventually get. It's so odd then that it transmutes from that after about 10 mins into an even more annoying version of the original Solo. Like I said I have platinum which does have a similar smell but is much more resinous and amber like which completely negates the cheap, orangey/lemon haze of the original...and with a minor tweak becomes palatable.
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.
