if the original ever gets reformulated, i'll just wear this instead. fine for casual days, wouldn't reach for it for special occasions.
- Lorenzo AryaVerified buyer
wore it for a week straight, here's my honest take after 10+ wears. on clothes it lasts forever, on skin around 5-6 hours which is fine. i've already recommended it to half my friends.
- Henry LoftonVerified buyer
been rotating between this and the original for a few months now. you can smell every note from the pyramid and they all work together. i've already recommended it to half my friends.

easily a 5-star fragrance.
