Its sillage is strong. People around you will notice it. Two sprays are usually enough. It spreads further than Guerlain Vetiver Guerlain and Tom Ford Oud Wood.
Variety for work or evenings
This is more of a daytime scent that suits the office and everyday wear. Its aromatic side keeps it clean and easy. For evenings, Argos Triumph Of Bacchus unisex has more depth.
