Advantages: unusual, lasts long time, nice botlle

Disadvantages: none

I bought this for my boyfriend earlier this year and I think its absolutely gorgeous smelling! I wanted to find eau de toilette that was unusual and smelled a bit different as I find a lot of mens fragrances just smell the same, and thats definitely what I got with this.

It comes in a black glass bottle that is quite slim, with the black xs logo on the front in silver, and a little dangly embellishment of a silver skull. It has a black cap on top that flips off to reveal the usual pump action nossle on the top that most perfumes and mens fragrances have.

The scent as I said earlier is quite unusual for a mens fragrance. It is quite fruity at first, and smells quite citrussy and lemony, followed by a rather woody/musky scent which I absolutely love. The description of this fragrance describes it as having three layers to the scent:
Top Note: Lemon and Lavender - I have to say I cant smell the lavender, as I hate the smell of lavender but the lemony aroma definitely comes through.
Heart Note: Ozonic accord and Cypriol - I have no idea what these are but they must smell nice!
Base Note: Amber Wood and Patchouli - this I can definitely detect in the scent which is where the woody and musky side of it that I can smell is coming from.
The scent is quite strong so you dont need to spray much (otherwise it can be a bit too strong and overpowering) and it lasts longer than most womens perfumes I have used. My boyfriend can put it on in a morning before he goes to work and I can still smell it on him when he comes home at the end of the day which is great as it really lasts a long time as you dont need to use much in each application.

You can buy this perfume from places like Boots, House of Fraser and most good perfume shops and normally retails for around £40, I think I paid £37 when I bought it but it all depends where you buy it from.

Overall I would definitely recommend it if you are looking for a scent for men that smells a bit different from all the rest. I definitely love it!

Summary: unusual mens fragrance!
