My go to scent for the past week!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My go to scent for the past few weeks! It smells very good, long lasting too. I bring it with me in my gym bag and use it after the shower so I'm ready for a day at the office. I've been using it for a few weeks but the level inside barely dropped so I expect the bottle to last me a while. Super happy with this scent I got!

Great at first
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The initial scent is crisp and kind of sporty. The only problem is that for me it smelled awful on me after about 2-3 hours after putting it on. I end up having to change mid afternoon.

Great
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This fragrance is a classic for a reason! The intense version is just an improvement on the original as it does last longer with more intensity and great projection. It is a crowd pleaser and makes for a great gift as you’ll be hard pressed to find someone that dislikes this one.

Sleeky and sexy ,
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have really enjoyed using this cologne. The packaging is sleek and premium, and it matches the reputation of a well known fragrance. It has that clean, minimalist look that feels high quality from the moment you pick it up.
The scent itself has a fresh, aquatic profile that is perfect if you love aqua type colognes. It gives me a smooth sensation of gliding through the air without ever becoming overpowering. It stays close to the skin and creates an intimate scent bubble that does not radiate too far, which makes it ideal for work.
I wear it during physically demanding twelve hour shifts, and it consistently lasts the entire day with only one or two sprays to my neck. The performance lives up to the name and the longevity is impressive for such a fresh fragrance.
Overall, it is a clean, elegant, long lasting cologne with sleek packaging and a scent that feels premium from start to finish.

Smells Amazing
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love how good this makes me smell. I have been getting compliments every time I wear this cologne. The packing was nice. I wear it almost everyday and I don’t even need to spray too much for it to last throughout the day. It has me feeling and smelling so good.

Exactly what I was hoping for and then some!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Been eyeing this one for a while and finally had a reason to try it. Opens fresh and aquatic, but with a lot more depth than the original. Got a compliment from a stranger within an hour of leaving the house which pretty much sealed the deal for me. It lasts all night without being overwhelming. This is the kind of scent that works whether you’re going out or just running errands and want to feel put together. Definitely adding this to the permanent rotation!
