Although I get quite a bit of apple freshness in the top note, this scent never becomes sweet or overly fruity. In the drydown flowery touches with a woody note emerge, and some vanilla and...

Yes, it's yet another flanker and most of them do smell very similar. This flanker is more of the same, but I enjoy this because the floral note is muted and there's more of a focus on the...

Reminds me of being an 18 year old out clubbing! Haha, its amazing how scents can transport you back in time. Nice smell, girls like it, and definitely inoffensive!

Agreed, actually many of the lower priced ones are projection beasts.

On me, the reformulated M7 lasts a long time. I guess it depends on your skin or maybe I am just lucky

By the way bro it was an opinion, this is a forum, and there was nothing personal, go get some pussy or something maybe you'll appreciate the hours i put in puttin those videos up.

Hey guys, play nice. Everyone's entitled to their own opinions and people will have different ones. No need to throw each other under the bus. Unless it's MUNI out here in San Francisco, then you'd probably survive cuz those never run on time. Jonathan, you are always welcome to talk about how awesome Stephen Curry is if you want to copy someone else's videos (*hinthint* MINE!). LOL.

I think I just mentioned my personal 3 favorites that suffice both in longevity and scent. However I see nobody has mentioned Escada's Magnetism. Although this isn't my cup of tea, sillage on this stuff with one spray is outstanding. I used to own a bottle (which I sold) but the couple times I wore it, I was leaving a trail of Magnetism in the air. Good strong stuff, I def wouldn't recommend this on a blind buy, this is either a love or hate frag.
