**The mojito opening is widely praised as the fragrance's strongest asset**, with enthusiasts highlighting its realistic, boozy-citrusy character as genuinely distinctive—though early performance fades faster than many would prefer for the cost.
**Longevity is the primary sticking point**: most wearers report the scent drops off significantly after a couple of hours, which some see as a dealbreaker and others accept as a trade-off for its unique composition.
**Wearers divide on the powdery drydown**—some find it sophisticated and old-school elegant, while others report it becomes cloying or nauseating as the fragrance settles on skin.
**Best suited for warm-weather casual occasions** (terraces, leisure time, daytime wear) rather than formal events or winter—spring and summer dominate preference votes.
**Positioned as a mature fragrance** with an old-world sensibility beneath the fresh citrus; not typically recommended for younger wearers or those seeking something overtly modern.
