after the initial dry down, it’s a spicy, citrus opening that then mellows down into a fresh, blue clean fragrance. It’s a good interpretation and quite closely resembles a mixture of Creed Aventus and Dior Sauvage. Projects for 3 hours and lasts a solid 9 hours. Overall a wonderful everyday fragrance that is blind buy safe without a doubt. Worth the price absolutely. Keep up the good releases 👍🏼
