A long time ago I got a small spray bottle sample of this stuff. 'Strong' would not even begin to decribe it's potency. Without knowing anything about this fragrance I happily proceeded to give myself 3 generous blasts in the chest, as I would with any atomizer cologne, and headed off to work one morning. I spent the next 8 hours in Knize hell vowing to never touch this foul nuclear strength liquid again!
Several months went by and I started seeing a lot of positive comments from gents who really enjoy this stuff when worn properly. Being the curious one that I am, started considering giving it a second chance, maybe I was missing out on something good. After a test sniff here and there while visiting Enchante, I finally brought a bottle home with me (a very generous gift from a good friend... that's another story) to see what I was missing. During that transport process our good buddy Raf declared that I was forbidden from opening the bottle in his car... it was like we were in a hazmat convoy getting back from accross town :D
I have to admit, when applied in the right amount this stuff really is a quality fragrance. I really enjoy my bottle being a splash and not the atomizer. I never have been a fan of sprays as I feel I get better control of where the fragrance goes and how much I'm applying. The initial blast of scent is pretty strong but it dries down to a really nice warm leather aroma that wears beautifully all day long. Certainly a unique scent but I am really enjoying it. While the MSRP on this stuff is not cheap, a bottle will last you a LONG time. Definately worth it IMHO.
Bottom line: Respect it's power, use responsibly, and enjoy!
