A great combination of citrus, sandalwood and musk. In comparison to the Creed version (which was itself likely inspired by Rabanne's XS from 1994) the citrus note is more dominant, while the muskiness and the earthiness are toned down. It is less dynamic for sure, but overall this is not a bad thing. It focuses in on the richest part of the scent, has projection and lasts longer than the version which is more than ten time its price. Unless you absolutely love the subtle hint of the gunpowder note in the original, this version may just be the superior one
