The take

What works

  • Italian heritage and elegance in every spray
  • The definitive citrus cologne — nothing smells more effortlessly Italian
  • Works as a refreshing splash in heat

Trade-offs

  • Longevity is genuinely awful — fades in 90 minutes
  • Expensive for what is essentially scented water
