The main thing letting this one down is performance...it's average...which is okay but disappointing because it develops nicely for the first couple of hours, leading you into a false sense of security and believe that it might be quite long lived. Then...bam! It's gone. Such a shame because this is one of the better 'sport' fragrances I've tried in recent years. Fresh sharp opening of citrus and aquatic tones, offset with the subtlety herbaceous basil and lavender, then a ton of pepper hits and as the woody base of cedar and musk start to dry down, this is actually quite a well conceived, masculine fragrance and not a million miles from it's predecessor. Just to mention that this flanker comes out a mere 28 years after the original surely it hasn't been in the making all that time???? Well as nice as it is it ain't worth the wait even for Loewe fans. I liked it, had it of lasted I would of added it to my collection to prove a point that sport fragrances can be simple and refined and above all masculine. But it doesn't so I won't.
