The catch · moderate

Polarizing oversweetness — it turns cloying or headache-inducing fast if you overspray. Two sprays is the ceiling.

01The ruling

A loud, sweet, fruity 'nuclear' crowd-pleaser with 12+ hours of room-filling projection. Verified for performance lovers who like the direction — just respect the spray count. A poor idea if you wanted anything airy or restrained. (Coded split below is a small Basenotes sample.)

06Where people disagree

Camp A

Enormous performance, constant compliments — my favorite fragrance to go clubbing.

Camp B

Cloying and one-dimensional if you overspray; sweetness-divisive.

What causes the split
Spray count and sweetness tolerance. Heavy sprayers dominate the negative reports.
