| Blends of floral and citrus-based fragrances are recommended for casual and daywear. Spicy, woody or warm amber-based fragrances are traditionally favorites for evening and special occasions. |

| This fragrance is the most strange cologne I have ever smelled.
I am laughing as I read all these reviews--especially the negative ones--because that was my exact reaction too. I despised this cologne. I thought it was so sickening that I had to wash it off as fast as possible. I totally dismissed it and thought it was the most vile smell I ever tried.
Time went on and I forgot about it.
Then, after it had been out awhile, I started reading about how controversial it was and got interested in smelling it again. And I hated it even more than the first time.
Somewhere along the way, I read online that some guy said gave advice about it.
He said that if you sprayed it too close to your skin, it would be disgusting. But he said, if you sprayed it very far from you, I would say, like 10 inches away, that it was incredible.
I got a sample of it and tried that. And all of a sudden I was in love with it.
It opened me to it. I would try the sample and all of a sudden, one day, I was 100 percent addicted to the smell. I still didn't buy it. But about 3 months later I was in a department store and the woman who worked their was trying to get me to smell her favorite fragrance, and I said, let me smell that Amen. And it smelled so fantastic to me, I bought it on the spot.
I never use it for every day. I wear it, sparingly and sprayed from far away, more at night. But I love it.
So, when I read all these reviews, I laugh, because I can relate to every single post here, both positive and negative. It definitely is not for everyone. I can see how it polarizes people. But I like that about the scent. I like it because it definitely challenges you. If this review makes you rethink trying it., go VERY lightly. I think this is a very sickening scent, because people are spraying it like they normally would. Holding it closer and trying to give a good spray. That would be the worst. This scent has to be more mysterious than that. Just kind of wafting in and out to produce the reaction of: "what was that?" drawing you and your girl into it more. Spray it lightly so that it produces the respones of wanting to smell it more. Rather than reeking with it, which produces the nightmare response.
It's right up there my most favorite scents I ever smelled. A*men brother. |
