REVIEWS & PERFORMANCE

Longevity: Reviewers consistently praise its longevity, with many reporting it lasts for 8 to 10 hours or more.

Projection: It has a powerful and noticeable projection, especially in the first few hours, which makes it well-suited for nights out and social events.

Scent: The fragrance is often described as a sweet, "bubblegum"-like scent with a sophisticated edge from the amber and patchouli notes. While it is generally mass-appealing, some find it can be too sweet or cloying, with some detecting a synthetic quality.
