This cologne smells very peppery.
When I smelled it for the first time, I was immediately reminded of a fragrance I smelled before.
And a few minutes ago I remembered it.
Joop rococo has an almost identical smell. Pepper, a lot of pepper. Strong pepper.
It can't be compared with the smooth pepper smell of a Shiseido Basala.
Lacoste 2000 has the strongest pepper note I've smelled in any cologne.
Every other note listed in the base is hiding behind the strong pepper note.
I you are a pepper fan, this cologne is made for you!
Gourmand fans should make a big round around this.
I think that's the reason why there is so much hate it or love it about this cologne.
The first version (100 ml) with the on/off button looks very nice.
And don't forget, this cologne was created by the same perfumer who created Yohji Yamamoto Homme!
