The consensus on performance is that this is a fleeting, ephemeral fragrance. Enthusiasts note it behaves like a traditional cologne, becoming a skin scent relatively quickly, which is common for natural-smelling citrus compositions.
It is frequently compared to other high-end citrus scents like Le Labo Bergamote 22 and Dior Homme Cologne, with users noting that The Different Company’s version feels particularly airy and "Ellena-esque" in its simplicity.

Value opinions are split; while the quality of the ingredients is praised, some find the price high for a fragrance that requires frequent reapplication throughout the day.
