The presentation of the samples I got were beautiful. Now, when I first sprayed this on my hand, I was a bit conflicted. To me, it kind of smelt like Mercedes Benz Club Black, which I wasn't a huge fan of. I definitely get when people say that it smells like an 'orange creamsicle'. I picked up on the bergamot and very slight cinnamon at first. However, now that I've let it dry down a bit, it's become into this smooth, creamy vanilla that is just great. I can see why this cologne gets compliments. My recommendation, let it dry down, wait about an hour, hour and a half and you should see why it's worth the hype. The opening was like a 6.5-7/10, dried down it's an 8.5-9/10. Will be purchasing a full bottle when I can.
