Bought this for hubby at the discount bin at a local drugstore. I won’t give it any rewards, but for everyday it’s a nice, clean scent. I would not pay full price for it.

It’s ok for a budget scent, nothing special but rather a typical masculine scent of the present decade. James Bond, of course, would never wear something as average and cheap like this one. But maybe something in similar vein from the top range.

A good everyday scent, not to agressive. Like it
Serpent208 – :
well blend of mild spices, citrus and shadowy/haunting leather. Bottle made surface feel rubbery, different from my other perfumes.
Scent: 10/10
Projection: 6/10
longevity: 7/10
Bottle: 10/10

Such a frustrating fragrance for me,
I like the smell of it but it fails to project well and burns out way too quick.
Bottle is nice design and as with all these 007 Eon Productions has a cool little sprayguard.
I have tried the original (Black Bottle) and Ocean Royale and this is the best smelling of the three (IMHO) but it needs more umph in its formula.

Very generic, poor longevity and poor projection all amounts to not very much, matched by the lower than average price. On initial spray you get a citrus blast, which unfortunately syruggles with its own identity against many other EDT’s on the market at the moment. Only on the dry down do you get the sandalwood and leather, but is a skin scnt at next by that time.
Something for 007 memorabilia collectors. If you’re looking for a decent bottle of EDT for the last throes of Summer / early Autumn, look elsewhere.

Leather? I don’t smell any leather at all. Just an indifferent sandalwood/generic woody smell. Not impressed at all with this one.
But at least it doesn’t have that weird apple pie note the original has. (James Bond/apple pie?)
No longevity.
Nice bottle, good tactile feel. I also like the mechanism that blocks the spray opening. Now put something worthwhile in it!

The best product of this line is absolutely shower gel, I recommend it highly. The edT is not as successful, there is too much going on and staying power is poor. But aaah! what a fresh and stylish whiff when my man comes out of shower washed with this SG! Love it1

Being an avid cologne collector, I saw this one at the store and had to try it out.
It is not terribly original. This is basically a woody aromatic with sweet undertones forcing their way to the top, and stifling most of the other tones. While not terrible, it is far from groundbreaking.
Projection was decent for the first two hours, then it dies to a raging skin scent for the next few hours. After that, I had to press my nose against my skin to smell it.
All around, not a terrible scent. This fragrance vaguely reminded me of about three or four other colognes that I own, without being incredibly similar. I feel that perhaps this scent borrowed much of its tones from other colognes, so it does not receive any points from me on being unique.
Buy, try or pass? I would say TRY, then most will pass.
Honestly, this smells similar to Original Penguin Rocks, or perhaps a Givenchy. You will get a better bang for your buck with either of those, and better longevity as well.
While this scent is fresh, it is not really anything special.
Longevity: 4/10 (4 hours maybe)
Projection: 5/10 (Good for first two hours, then it dies down)
Smell: 5/10 (Sweet, but unoriginal)
Versatility: 5/10 (Date night, maybe? Although, I can think of many better fragrances to wear…)

OK it has zero projection, doesn’t last very long, the packaging is tacky, but it’s cheap, inoffensive and quite citrussy. I had a 30ml for £9.00, and for that it’s a bargain. Nice after a shower.

this perfume is not leather!!!
lasts 45 minutes, not recommended at all.
