I can't believe I have a 50ml bottle of this! It was recommended to me by a fellow Basenoter (in the BN chatroom (whatever happened to that?)) as a rather nice citrus scent with great lasting power. I really don't like the gaudy yellow and red packaging - but then I'm absolutely not the target demographic. The name is subtitled "Thanks": I can imagine it being purchased by parents on behalf of their children to give as a present to another child - perhaps as a thank-you to a party invitation. There's nothing about the presentation to indicate that this scent is 'masculine' or 'for boys' (unless the absence of pink is enough to suggest that?). However, the scent itself could be considered 'training wheels' for the kind of scents a man might later buy and wear. Official notes are lemon and lime. I can detect something akin to lemon verbena, and the lime is rather like that used in candies. There is a welcome absence of herbal notes, which for me can push a 'unisex' citrus scent over the edge to 'masculine' (eg. Dior's Escale a Portofino and O de Lancome). So sue me, but I'd rather wear this Mickey Mouse than Guerlain's Philtre d'Amour! And so, I keep this hideous-looking scent in my bathroom, handy for times when I just want a quick spritz of something citrusy clean. Lasting power is good. It's made in Italy, and allegedly not tested on animals - yay!
