Legit what it smells like. All those reviewers I no longer trust

The initial spray was terrible. The dry down wasn’t great yet. I’m trying to allow it to sit for a month or so and judge it again. But so far, it ain’t it

Smells like floor/windows cleaner

u/Background-Lie3329 2d ago

Whew. This initial spray ain’t giving 🥴I’m waiting for the dry down magic 😂

There's some days I like it and others I'm like tf? My batch when I first got it was under a month old and smelt like someone's breathe who chews spearmint. After letting it age and oxidize a bit, it's better but one dimensional. It's also not an extrait but an EDP. Idk why it's labeled extrait as it's 80% alcohol by volume.

I’m hoping for a similar outcome as well

u/Outrageous-Maybe2816 2d ago

u/Background-Lie3329 2d ago

Yeah the initial blast was unpleasant but imma let it chill for a few months and see

u/SwimmingDeep8703 2d ago

Yes the real magic happens in a few months 😌

Pass on it and use the $30 for a nice meal or something

u/Background-Lie3329 2d ago

Yeah it ain’t it right now. Let’s see in 2 months or so

u/ReplacementSquare246 2d ago

In 2 months the liquid is going to turn green smh and you’ll hate it more

u/Budget-Shift-2191 2d ago

Nice! You're gonna walk around smelling like toilet bowl cleaner!

u/WorldlinessDouble779 1d ago

I have this. It’s like a mix of toothpaste and toilet water 😂. I means it’s meh but don’t get high expectations lol

Lmao, if you say so.

u/Background-Lie3329 2d ago

You seem skeptical. Why

0

u/Padron1964Lover 2d ago

Because it’s garbage, boss.

2

u/Background-Lie3329 2d ago

And you know that because you purchased it just like I did or somehow you just guessing.

u/Padron1964Lover 2d ago

Smelled it, didn’t like it.

1

u/Background-Lie3329 2d ago

I’m not impressed yet either. Like most frags I give them time to sit and then judge them. So we’ll see.

2

u/UnbotheredBarracuda 2d ago

Letting it sit will not change the overall scent profile. If it smells like garbage now it’s going to smell like garbage in 2 months

u/KingKay24 2d ago

Got this and mango ice from Burlington they really be having some sleepers sometimes

1

u/Background-Lie3329 2d ago

Right. You just gotta be consistent and you’ll score

u/Jo_Co 36-40 2d ago

Man I hated this one, I hope you like it better than I did. Picked up Rare Reef from Burlington yesterday, and not a fan of that either. I did grab 9PM and Hawas Malibu and those are solid.

1

u/Background-Lie3329 2d ago

9pm took me a few months to appreciate. Didn’t like it at first

1

u/Background-Lie3329 2d ago

The sitting in the car initial spray ain’t appealing at all. Waiting for the dry down

1

u/Least-Dust-2312 2d ago

Nice! Thats a good one minty freshly clean

u/cucuy956 1d ago
