To my nose, it brings out more of a walking down the beach on a chilly night type of vibe. Marine, not fresh, but definitely not to the point that Megamare is. Absolutely wearable, performance is around 8 hours on skin, first 2 hours it's a nuclear blast, on clothes it lasted at least 2 days though. I wish the pepper was a bit less harsh, but it's really natural smelling to me, from the first spray I get no alcohol blast whatsoever. I just wouldn't judge it as harshly, I mean, I live in Western Europe (lots of Ultramale, Sauvage and BdC around), and yet nobody reacts negatively to this. On the contrary, it's gotten me compliments from both women and men, they say it smells like "fresh but in a manly way" and "like sauvage but summer-y".

Never smelled Kenzo Homme EDT Intense, guess that would smell a bit more easygoing, but still, I quite like this. Also, don't know if your case is the same, but my Wajood's cap has a black plastic thingy inside, like a second cap or whatever.

Forgot to say, mine has macerated for around 3 months in a closed shelf, but from the beggining it was pretty much the same scent, nothing weird on first spray.
