About
It captures the rebellious spirit of a backstage party—sweet, sweaty, and full of raw energy. The scent balances a sharp, zesty lemon opening with a dark, addictive heart of praline and cinnamon that feels like a dangerous indulgence. Wearing it gives you a rock-star edge; it is the scent of a man with a wild side and a tender heart.
Performance & WearLong, 7–9 hours
Performance & Wear Guide
- Longevity: 7–9 hours on skin.
- Projection: Moderate to strong. Projects confidently for the first 2–3 hours.
- Sillage: Moderate. Leaves a warm trail — noticeable without being overwhelming.
- Best Seasons: Fall and winter. The amber/spice profile needs cooler temperatures to perform at its best.
- Occasions: Evening events, formal settings, date nights.
- Application Tips: 2–3 sprays. Chest and wrist. Allow 30 minutes for the full composition to develop before assessing.
- Dry-Down Arc: Spice-heavy opening transitions through a warmer heart into an amber/musk base that softens the composition considerably.

Customers praised this cologne's "amazing scent" described as sweet, masculine, and elegant. Most found it authentic and long-lasting, though some noted the 2018 version has reduced longevity (4 hours vs 6). Popular as a gift with "lovely fragrance" and nice packaging. Some concerns about spray cap durability and inconsistent longevity.

Se lo compré a mi esposo que le gusta este perfume y llego muy rapido
Excelente perfume
Great scent, unfortunately the bottle malfunctioned and I can’t get it to spray anymore. Even worse, it’s passed the return date so I’m stuck with half the bottle that I can’t use. Invest in better spray caps dudes.
For my husband. This is his favorite cologne.
Bueno y rapido

I bought it before, as I liked the design of its original bottle, even though it is a for him perfume. The scent was a surprise: a beautiful mixture of soft femine and sharp masculine scent that all came together in a very a unique way.The good thing thing about this perfume is that I had compliments from both men and women.Beautiful scent, that is in the now.
El envio perfecto y el perfume tambien, como todos los de esa marca
Molto buono, spero sia originale perché non me ne intendo ma sembra di buona manica. In commercio non si trovano più e non mi fidavo a prenderli su siti ambigui
ケースな状態も匂いもプレゼントにして問題ないです
Me gusta.
Been using this forever, discontinued at shoppers drug mart same product here happy with the purchase
Original with excellent price
Perfume original, me encanto el aroma y buena fijación
Grande affare! Questo profumo in Italia non si riesce a trovare. Con questa azienda il profumo è arrivato addirittura un giorno prima del previsto in una scatolina vellutata, sembra un gioiello. Anche la bottiglia del profumo è cambiata ma è ancora più bella! È originale, perché il profumo è esattamente quello!
Delicioso perfume un poco diferente a la formula y como yo lo recordaba, al igual qje ma duración solía aguantar 6 horas sin problemas sin embargo esta versión solo soporto 4 horas.
Riecht super, Geruch hält sehr sehr lange
Non riuscivo a trovare questo prodotto in nessuna profumeria! Splendido
excelente tiempo de entrega y un aroma espectacular
Finalmente sono riuscito a trovare questo profumo (in Italia ormai sono anni che manca). Venditore serio, è arrivato tutto sigillato. La confezione è cambiata ma il profumo è sempre lui. Ottimo
My husband like it
Produto como anunciado, e chegou antes do previsto. Recomendo
Fast and reliable seller, everything went as announced :)
