TL;DR — Reddit consensus
A skin-chemistry dependent 'your skin but better' scent that loyal wearers love. May smell like plastic on some, and the new formula doesn't last as long.
Amazon vs Reddit
Amazon loves it. Reddit isn't sold.
On Amazon: ★4.0 from 106 reviews — that's roughly 75% positive.
On Reddit: 50% of 18 redditors recommend it.
The gap of 25 points is unusual and worth reading the cons before you buy.
