This particular EDP is miss for me.
I have smelt the original, and its brothers, and for me this has a slight resemblance in the dry-down after that nose stinging, lemon face punch you get in the opening. I'm not a freshy fan and this is just off the chart lemon. PP don't often miss, in my experience, but this might be one unfortunately. The only positive for me is that you don't have to put up with it for too long as I either go nose blind or it disappears after an hour or two.
Scent - 1 / 5
Performance - 2 / 5
I wanted to base my reviews on more than just an unmeasured opinion, so I have used this method to rate all of my purchases at week 1 (under 7 days after delivery) and after week 4 (generally mentioned ‘maceration’ time). I always spray 2x each side in the clavicle, 1x behind each ear and the back of my neck, never on clothes.
With a total score of 10 equally split between smell and performance.
Smell: 0-5
This is obviously just my own taste
Performance: 0-5
Checked at 1, 2, 3, 5 & 9 hrs)
I can certainly say that, without exception, every scent has improved in performance between weeks 1 & 4 and by week 12 many have developed further with tobacco and other warm notes becoming much richer.
I hope this is helpful
