Scent description (editorial impression)
First worn by many as schoolboys, it was a bargain-shelf compliment-getter of the late 1990s and 2000s, and one fan remembers a poor man's pineapple scent that got there before Creed: pineapple and bergamot on green, peppery herbs, drying to a soft woody musk. A newcomer smelled a barber's aftershave; several recent buyers say it is gone within a few hours.
