this is a 100% cheap drugstore standard, low class, bad smelling fragance

I HATED this fragrance when I first tried it....it reminded me of brown sugar and cat pee (sorry to be crude). However, there was something intriguing about the woody base that kept bringing me back.

I have come to the conclusion that I must have received old stock the first time around (open box clearance). I bought a new one, and the tangerine and mint shine....of course there's the lovely woody base.

I like it as a daily wear....a little distinctive but no head turner, and a pleasant fragrance. Nice stuff (if you get a fresh bottle).

I was expecting something cheap and nasty when I opened this in a bargain basement store, since it was priced at $1.00 for a half ounce cologne splash, and was pleasantly surprised. Let me begin by saying this is no designer fragrance and I'm not gonna blow smoke up anyone's shirt and say it is; but for what it costs and what it is, it ain't half-bad...

This begins pretty common with sweet fruity notes and some spices, that smell 'cologne-y'(in a clean way). After it mellows some, it's mint and lavender are quite pleasing and smooth, even fresh. In a couple of hours when it's completely dry, the woods and amber are nice in an aromatic earthy way. This is a true drugstore-type frag but it is not unpleasant, common:yes, but not bad. I've smelled worse that costed a lot more...

Sillage: okay
Longevity: average
Overall: 2.25/5

This one is no stunner to be sure but there is something about it that I enjoy. It's clean, fresh with a hint of spice and a sweet woody finish; nothing I would wear to impress someone or special occasion but for just sitting around by myself it's something simple and unassuming. Clean from the shower and about to jump right into bed, it's a nice scent to smell as you fall asleep but does not linger on the skin and interfere with the next day's choice of fragrance.

Anyone who judges a scent on the company who made it and not the actual 'juice' is no perfumista in my opinion...give this a chance. I have perfumes that were great buys and smell wonderful and expensive ones that smell so-so. You never know until you TRY.

By the way-the bottle is similar to Horizon by G.LaRouche but this is not similar at all...

I wore this in eighth grade, needless to say its cheap. It was one of those gifts you get from an aunt or uncle around christmas that you wish you could regift but felt like you would burden then next person that would receive it as well. It doesn't smell like water, it doesn't smell like anything you would find in a ship, nothing about this cologne represents its name. Its a cheap cologne with a terrible long lasting odor. Please do yourself a favor and avoid this scent, I wore it in eighth grade around 10 years ago, I thought it was cheap smelling then, it smells even cheaper now.
