From an experienced gentleman, I've been using this cologne for over 15yrs and by far it has been the best for me. I get compliments from all women, not some and a few men. Something everyone should realize is that colognes, like women, are not compatible with every man. What works good for me and my body chemistry doesn't always work for the next guy. But believe me, when it comes to fragrances, the best compliment you can receive is when some woman tells you that you smell better than their husband or boyfriend with the same cologne. Happens alot.
