Well I'll start my review by stating the obvious...this fragrance is not very imaginative. I was given a sample of this as usual I wear it for bed after showering and it was a pleasant experience. I read the notes on the sample card and thought hmmmm...I'll keep an open mind. I hate mindless comparisons because they are often not very helpful to the reader of the review but straight away the mint and vanilla put me in mind of La Male. There's a freshness in the top from the citrus though which is nice but the vanilla and tonka bean are always there...maybe it's this combo that draws comparison to Allure homme sport eau extreme which to me is far nicer an less lightweight than this. What I do get is a modern marine accord which once this dries down a little is all too evident...could be from the Ambroxan/ambergris??? This will be a comparison people won't like...but once you smell past the vanilla and citrus even the mildly woody base...Do you know what I get a touch of? PACO RABANNE INVICTUS albeit a much milder, dried down, close to the skin version. Who's with me on that? Not that it's a bad thing this fragrance has a lot going for it and as unpopular as it might be to say...I quite like Invictus. Don't get me wrong they are very different too but yet again for fleeting moment they're similar.
