    I have been looking around for a new aquatic fo r this summer.I picked this up at TJ Maxx for 10 bucks.I read online that it is a clone of Chanel blue.I sampled it in the store nice,not exactly the standard aquatic.Aquatic with some depth.I sprayed some on and headed out to lunch with the wife.I picked her up about 15 minutes later.When she got in the car she commented"you smell nice".So it passes the wife test.

    The box is rather simplistic black and mirrored blue.The back of the box lists the notes.Rather nice of the company
    .top notes-bergamot and verbena.
    heart notes-coumarin,oakmoss.
    base notes-sandalwood and tonka bean

    The spray bottle is 3.4 oz of clear glass containing dark blue liquid with a sprayer.I call it a sprayer as it does not put forth a mist.Rather it drenches you.
    The scent is nice aquatic with some depth.It has mild projection for the first hour and then it settles down to a bit more than a skin scent for 5-6 hours.After that it is a skin scent quite a while.It seems to last quite a while when sprayed on clothing or hair and have a bit better projection than when on skin.It is apparent the next morning at a low level.

    I wish it had a bit better projection but it is nice enough and well worth the 10 bucks I paid for it.

    yesterday i wore this cologne to work,since it needs a reapplication for extended use i tossed the bottle in my lunch bag.when I got off work I spritzed a bit behind each ear and a bit on the top of my head/hair.and drove about 20 minutes with the windows down to a grocery store.while shopping I walked past a lady and stopped looking at some goods.the lady then volunteered "you smell nice.when you walked past you smelled really good and i just had to say something"i thanked her and exchanged a few pleasantries and went about my way feeling buoyed after a long day at work.
