I hate to make accusations, but this has to be counterfeit. The scent is very nice immediately after spraying—immediately being the key word. It literally lasts no more than a few seconds. I have tried up to six sprays and same result. In less than one minute after spraying, it’s as if I misted myself with nothing but water. I thought maybe my nose was malfunctioning so I sprayed another cologne that I had and lo and behold, I could smell it for hours.
