Performance is never questioned, equaled but not surpassed, but the scent is a love hate thing for sure. I don't think I will ever decide one way or another.
As time goes by I'm getting less and less excited about the more pungent overly complex frags and moving towards relatively simple lighter scents. This will doubtless change further over time.
Not quite like that, but I have had days where I wore something that just didn't smell right on a particular day, though it was fine other days. And fine again later. It's happened with AS, too. Funny.
Yes, but as mentioned, that's why I have a selection. But I also notice that dislike is often fleeting. That is to say, when you have a selection of scents, you raise your own bar for what you will like a bit higher. Some days you apply something, and it just doesn't hit you the way you had thought you wish you put on something else.
