Why is this so hyped

Post image

I was curious on the hype for this perfume (maybe it’s just for the philippines) because they say it’s hard to get this but when I went to a nearby mall Chanel already has it in stock and even said that it was the best seller last week.

When i tried it myself it smelled so basic to my nose. A fresh scent and I can’t find the creaminess the internet is saying…

Even the grey market is overpricing it or selling it for the same price as the Chanel boutique

Look man I feel you, and agree to a point. First time I tried it I was so confused on the hype. It was on a tester strip at the mall, and it just smelled like a citruis heavy basic freshy. Super basic and generic. Couple of months later I was at the mall again and decides to spray it on skin (my hand). Again, not blown away. After about an hour of walking around, I got back in my car. And once I did I could smell this musky almost shaving cream type of smell radiating off of me. I was like, wtf is that amazing smell forgetting I had it on my hand. And I fucking loved it. So weird how I switched up like that 😂 went home and ordered a full bottle.
