I had bought a bottle and broke it within a week! So this is my new purchase. I love this scent because it is soft and not overpowering. I had a woman approach me and say she loved my cologne. I was aghast because I hate when you can ‘smell’ people twenty feet away. She smelled the fragrance because she was right next to me at the grocery store-not because it was strong. (I have cruised down a completely empty aisle at the grocery store and walked through a cloud of horrible cologne. The previous person left a nasty overdone fragrance.) Anyway, if you want a subtle, gentle fragrance that is only detectable up-close, try this cologne.
