At first it gives off a strong citrus note, very nice, but very bold. Once you give it a few minutes on your skin, say 10-20 minutes, some of the most subtle notes become more prominent and the scent improves, gets sweeter, and in my opinion much better. Like many colognes, smelling this on the stick isn’t going to give you a true idea of what you’re getting.
Even though it changes pretty quickly over 20 minutes, the scent will last a long time after that. After the first changes the remaining fragrance is pretty stable for a good amount of time. Depending on what you’re doing it will probably give you 8 plus house.
