I read a lot of comments about the scent and the scent changing and smelling like Cinnamin or Cloves. But, in my opinion this is a great product. It is very mild and does not a have a long half-life after applied. What I mean by that is:You will not be advertising to everybody in the room that you are wearing aftershave. It is strong when you apply but dissipates quickly. Your woman will still smell it when she gets close...It goes on cool and fresh, I use it even when I don't shave. On a hot day, heading out, put some on and it is refreshing. I notice that it does smell different from time to time, but I am pretty sure that that is due to the soap you might be using. I use strong floral Chinese soap, I just like the way they smell, but depending on which one I used, it does affect the smell of the aftershave.Overall, it is not obnoxious. I can't stand the smell of dudes walking around smelling like axe aftershave or whatever that ingredient is they put in that crap. No one is every going to think you smell bad or it is over the top. Most won't notice, but you will every morning when you apply it.
