I was extremely excited by the note breakdown on this one, tropical fruit, spice, amber, florals and I think Loewe know what they're doing on the whole. Attractive packaging and an very attractive girl in the shop too (she was impressed that I knew of Loewe in the first place!) This made for a 'must have' combination of factors. However, when I tried it along side the platinum I found it to be a nice scent but not half as interesting...maybe if I give it more of a chance (which I'm prepared to do) it will shine in the future. Still great though and I urge anyone to shun high street names like Armani, Calvin Klein, and Hugo Boss in favour of this stuff.
When I wear a very modern take on men's classic fragrances like this, I just wish I'd put on a vintage instead. This could never even come close, as it has all the elements required except the most important, namely real oakmoss.
