I don't like to factor in cost when reviewing a fragrance but for the ridiculously cheap price, this stuff is great! Smells similar to Armani Code but better. Might buy another bottle

I did not literally strong, but I thought a "strong" sense of masculine perfume and old school

I do not want such perfumes(old school) .... Costume National PH no one? Excuse me for the bad English
