It does smell like the original. But it is different. Sort of like taking a different route to get somewhere. Its got some more strength, and to me its a little sweeter. It has a textural difference. The tonka cream is enhanced by the sandalwood. The aldehydes are gone. I suppose it smells like todays man, but to me it smells like a girl. Blending and ingredients are good. I prefer the original. Neutral.
Doesn't feel sporty at all; i really didnt like this one when i first smelled it, well, i still dont get crazy about it. However this has gotten me positive reactions so far, so i guess i'll keep repurchasing for as long as they keep making'em.
I do enjoy this fragrance and so does my partner, everytime i wear this she can't get enough of it!
I get good performance

Very manly! I would love this, on my man.
Smooth, a bit creamy. Very well-blended. The sage and Tonka bean here are exceptional.
There is an intrinsic, mellow sweetness amongst these notes, that screams quiet seduction. Indefinable, it may be the mandarin, musk, and sandalwood.
The exotic ride continues - I am not schooled on what a "sport" scent is supposed to be - I just know, as a chick, I would have no qualms wearing this.
Fresh, creamy, subtle, honeyed goodness all wrapped up in one fragrance. Well done, Chanel!
Sexy and it lasts...
This was one of my favorites when I started collecting fragrances around 2014 or 2015. I still like it, but it can be an uneven ride.
The opening is great. As it transitions from the opening to the base, it can feel off to me. When the base is established, it smells good to me again.
During the opening, I think about replacing my 50-ml bottle with the 150-ml. Before the wearing is over, I decide not to replace it.
