I had some problems with this one at first. I don’t think those little rollerballs do much, and even pulling that off and splashing this on, I wasn’t getting much… a vague fruit (the good kind, melony, understated) and freshness but without the strong soapy green a lot of freshies have.

Finally I managed to fit get a small atomizer to at least spray out of the bottle, and… oh my…

I would like to directly address Manuel Cross:

You, sir, are trouble.

This is the second scent I’ve tried from my Rogue sample pack, and the second one that had me telling myself after only 10 minutes that I wouldn’t mind smelling like this for the rest of my life, and looking immediately for how much a full bottle cost.

It’s classy. I do see the comparisons with Green Irish Tweed: no, it doesn’t smell that much like it, but there is a definite overlap somewhere deep inside. It has that broad but understated zest, over that satiny, complex base that screams class.

That said, I’m also seeing the same thing I did with the Tuberose & Moss: an hour or two later… it’s still special, but suddenly somehow not as seductive, it’s gone down a substantial notch, and much too quickly. I suppose given the price, that’s a good thing, because it keeps me from wanting to buy enough of this stuff to fill a tub with and bathe in.
