“Hey, I rarely write reviews, but this juice is excellent. Now that said it does has a harsh opening, and little goes a long way. I literally just open the box and did a test spray. After 5 minutes as it starts to dry down it turns into liquid sex appeal. It does smell vary similar to Valentino V (RIP). I am not a expert but I have good stable of fragrances from clones, to designers, and more than my fair share of niche. This bond #9 wanna be bottle with the purple juice is a hidden cheap gem! Let’s face it if you are like me you all drop $150 to $500 on a bottle of juice, dropping 30ish is a drop on in the proverbial decant bottle. It’s smells designer, it seems to perform designer tbd if I am being honest. It is only day 1. My girl walked into the room and said in i a angry tone. W$F are you wearing it smells delicious and she is not sure if I can wear out in public with out her. She loves my uden overdose, but says to her she likes this betters. Now I won’t go that far but in her opinion she likes a $35 of juice over a $350 one. Again I don’t feel that way but given the $$$ I have sunk into this hobby and all the heavy hitters I have and what she has been exposed to speaks volumes. Cause in the end the reason we buys these things is awe factor. Well misson accomplished.”
