Absolute Stunner!

I do have a little under 400 colognes at this point and I am always searching for that scent that hits the value to price point ratio that gets me to the scent I’m looking for without breaking the bank. I am absolutely impressed with this company and feel that the value ratio for what you’re getting is excellent! I ordered 12 10 ml scents from them initially to feel out if they were going to be giving me that scent that was going to impress me by the metrics of the actual scent, i.e. does it make me crave it to the point I’m going to reach for it over all the other options that I have? Does it give me the performance that I want with good sillage, projection and longevity? Is it a cost effective alternative to the original it was inspired by and put you in that wheelhouse? After receiving those scents, I started to run them through testing and so far, I am extremely satisfied and impressed to the point that I have already ordered this one and 3 additional ones that I needed to add to my collection, with the intention of ordering 4 additional ones after additional wears to determine if the longevity will be on par with this one. I did get solid performance from this particular scent, great sillage leaving a trail that had people sniffing after me, projecting around arms length and lasting for the 10-12 hours that I was wearing it for. This was impressive to the point that I’ll be reducing the amount of sprays I use in future wears. Scents are subjective but I find this one to be an absolute stunner that I will wear whenever the hell I want because it’s just so pleasing regardless of season or time. You can read the notes as far as what you get, and I will say, I’m not a massive fan of florals in my scents, but Good Lord, they hit everything exactly right in the balance with this! My woman, who cannot get pregnant, was definitely trying to get pregnant after smelling this on me. Not saying that’s the result you will get but felt it was worth mentioning since that was not the reaction I was expecting from her. I have nothing else like this in my collection and it went right to my top ten. I find it to be an exceedingly well executed scent and find that I am actually craving this. Happy Journey on finding that perfect scent!

If you don't have the actual Mindgames version of this, then this will definitely do the job enough. Damn near a 1 to 1 pretty much.

Awesome juice! The quality is 2nd to none and smells fantastic! The performance is at least 10-12 hours on skin and days on clothing. Scent trail is high for several hours with extensive range. Customer service is great and fast delivery!
