I really like this clone... A lot. It's an "inspired by"/clone of Nishane Hacivat. The opening gives you that smoky, citrusy smell that I love. Personally, it's been my experience that once the bottle macerates for at least a month, the opening is MUCH smoother and it loses that synthetic, harsh vibe that several users mention. The dry down is very close to Hacivat with those woody, ambery, mossy notes. To me, this is actually a little brighter than the OG, but then again, I haven't tried the OG in quite a while. The longevity, projection and sillage are serious... Once you spray this, you'll own it for SEVERAL hours. This fragrance is not shy. If there's one thing I want to emphasize, maceration is a must for this bottle. If you spray right out of the box (like all the guys on YouTube), you're probably not going to be too impressed. It'll come off as harsh, synthetic, etc, etc. Give it a month or two. That makes it a game-changer. Again, one of my favorite clones. When I spray this as a night time frag, I'm feelin' good! Blind buy safe?? Sure. Why not... At $35 at Burlington, what's the big risk?
