Advantages: nice pleasant scent, nice little bottle

Disadvantages: none really

I have to admit to being a little apprehensive when I received this aftershave as a present. I had steered clear of celebrity aftershaves and perfumes through fear of them being cheap and nasty, and I have a general distaste for minor celebs (Jordan and the likes, not Beckham!)

However I have been pleasantly suprised by this aftershave. Packaged in a tasteful, shiny black box, the bottle is nicely designed. One great little feature is the magnetic bottle top which helps give the product a more up market feel. The aftershave is easilly applied with a sprayer.

The scent is quite refreshing and pleasant. It is stong but not overpowering and lasts reasonably long, (i put some on at 6am before work and can just about smell it still). The official description describes the scent as being made up of orange, mandarin, Italian bergamot and grapefriut amongst others. Im not sure what all of these actually smell like but I would agree it has a pleasant hint of a fruit scent.

It's not my favourite aftershave but is a decent aftershave for day to day use or work, in fact I was complimented on it in work today!

The 75 ml bottle retails at £30 on th high street, but shop around on the internet and you will pick it up for less than half that.

Summary: not a bad aftershave for day to day use
