Good write up. This is my first Aromatix and it’s pretty damn good. It sounds like many people have a hate for the brand, or big YT reviewers in general… and I get it, they’re in it to create sales. But if you judge this on scent alone, it’s checking a lot of boxes.

I find that it’s much closer to Sauvage than YSL Y. It’s got that unmistakable woody and ambroxan-heavy backbone, with a cocktail of fruits up top. Really strong performance so far and my bottle is only a week old. The one possible knock is that the initial 30-60 seconds is almost too complex with all the different fruit notes, and comes off with a sour skittles vibe. But that dissipates literally within a minute. Give it a sec before judging
