“I may have purchased a newer batch a few weeks ago and the performance is not what I expected. It smells really good from the first spray but it barely lasts 2 hours if that. I've read multiple reviews about the performance and longevity so I'm curious to know where to find an older batch so I can purchase and make my final decision on the fragrance...”
“Ok... Received the product 36 hours within the order. That's great. Packaging is similar for products of $80-$100. On the bottom of the box you see "Made in France". Bottle is heavy duty glass. Again, this is stuff you see for scents that are $80-$100. Good quality.The scent itself: First impression is lemony, pineapple. Nice. Subtle. Not overpower powering. The dry down which is about 30-45 minutes later was more smokey & woodsy. There is some pineapple coming through but not much. Staying power is where it falls short. Less than 3 hours for me and I sprayed quite a bit. 4-5 sprays around my head/neck and 2 sprays on each of my wrist/arm. That's where I'm a little disappointed. The scent is nice. Just wish it had some staying power. For the $$$ it's definitely worth it. Much more affordable than Creed Aventus. But I wish the staying power was 5-6 hours.”
