Opens with a fresh-peppery burst of juicy, citrusy, sweet blood orange and lemon. Refreshing, clean, sweet, yet masculine opening. Most suited for colder/indoor/evening-night time situations. I am not a fan of citrusy openings, but this one is great. I always wear this to the gym.
 
 
My full opinion: If you wear this when it's hot, it's not bad but it may project more aggressively/offensively than in the night time when it's colder, so my suggestion is to go easier on the sprays when wearing in higher heat situations. Apparently there's a rose note in this, I don't get it at all, the blood orange is pretty dominant throughout the fragrance. After about 5 minutes the scent starts to get a bit heavier and dense as it transitions to the middle notes. As for the drydown, the Blood orange becomes milder and peppery notes are smoothened out. There is also significantly more vanilla that starts creeping up.
 
For performance on my skin chemistry, its longevity is pretty good. I wore it before an intense Muay Thai session and my training partner could get slight whiffs of it even after we were done and drenched in sweat. On skin I get about 6 hours, and at the 7th hour it becomes more of a skin scent. 7.5/10 for longevity rating.
 
Projection is alright, I'd say a strong 2 hours, easily 3 hours if my body is hotter than usual. After that you get a nice scent bubble around you, where if someone is within that proximity they will get whiffs of this fragrance. If you are expecting a room filler beastmode fragrance, this is not the one for you. I would rate its projection at 7/10. It is alright, I am happy with it.
 
Sillage is honestly not bad, it's still the weakest link in the performance though. I would estimate around 1 hour of a noticeable scent trial before it pretty much becomes non-existent. That is my honest opinion. The nice thing is that there is a nice scent bubble around you wherever you walk so others will still smell you, just not crazy strong.
