    Not for me
    Has a long lasting smell that is pleasant but it smells like an old lady on me so it’s not for me.

    I Can Smell Each Note
    Each and every note is there, and I can smell each one separately and in a complex blend. It looks like a strange blend of notes, but they work so well together. Not too sweet, not overly masculine, just a perfect unisex blend that can be worn casually, for an evening in-home, watching movies on the luxurious leather couch, eating some fresh fruity sorbet and popcorn.

    Masterful
    This is a mature scent for the trained collectors. An untrained nose will scoff and miss out on this artistry. Yes I can agree that the opening is agressive, and perhaps off putting, as most people at face value will get the “popcorn sitting in an ashtray” whiff, however as perfectly put by another review here; this scent develops backwards from base note to top. Once this settles on your skin you will begin to notice the complexity and brilliance. An absolute masterpiece, but undoubtedly an acquired taste. Find an affordable sample, and let it sit before committing to a full bottle.

    It’s ok
    It is strong and smells like Swedish fish. I only wear it once in awhile. Not my favorite but not awful.
