What's your thoughts about Ffl? Sillage/longevity issue?

Thanks!

I found a bottle of this going cheap on ebay and bought it. I could get a lot of grapefruit from it with some musk in it. Honestly i was surprised with its longevity & sillage which was much more than what i expected of it. Overall it was a pleasant scent but i offloaded it the next day for a higher price. It was fetching more than what i paid and the oppurtunity cost of keeping it being high coupled with a generic smell it had, i thought its better i let go.

However this is a good buy for anyone who loves a good fruity scent. The bottle is fairly good looking too.

On a paperstrip after 4 weeks still there was lingering the smell, and it wasn't faint at all. So I'm sure it has no longevity problems.

I tried it a few weeks ago and thought it was a very generic synthetic fruity scent. I wasn't impressed, but I wasn't offended by it either.

Not bad, but I have to get a full wearing out of this to judge for sure. I like the spicyness of the woods contrasting the fruit notes, but it may be overall a bit too synthetic.

That whole "design your own leather bottle holder" thingy looks pretty cool, but there's no way I'm shelling out $120 for one.

Same attitude here. I got a distinct orange creamsicle note from it. Weird. I prefer Escada when I crave synthetic fruit.
