This was my first full trial of this Michael Malul product. I wore it to the office, with a spray on the back of my neck, 2 on each wrist, and 2 on my tshirt, under my dress shirt. The atomizer on the 10ml travel size is pressurized and is outstanding, so the fragrance was well-applied. It's not a freshie, but opens smooth, darkish, and aquatic, with some light musk in the base. A very nice, subtle, clean aquatic, with mild sillage for almost 5 hrs, then it becomes a skin scent. I like the smell, and really wanted it to continue, but it fell short in performance, which limits its versatility. Nevertheless, it can be dressed up or down, for daytime or evening use, and is very enjoyable while it lasts. There a quite a few from this house that are highly rated on Fragrantica and a BOS search will deliver some excellent reviews, but decants are impossible to find. I used some Amazon gift card money for a few travel sizes, but they can be sniffed and purchased at Perfumania stores. I'll be test driving West Loop and Citizen Jack Absolute the next couple of days, and I'll post my impressions on those also. Have a great night brothers!

After smelling this on paper, I was excited to wear it to the office today, and I am very impressed! Their 10ml atomizers are excellent, and I'm jealous of everyone that scored their discovery set for $30 at rack stores last year! What a phenomenal deal that was! West Loop is a fantastic smelling, spicy, floral (almost fruity), ambery edp with some mild tonka, and is moderately sweet. Projection and sillage were moderate for the first hour then steady mild to the 7 hour mark. And it maintained its character all day; very impressive. This feels more casual than dressy to me, and I recommend getting your nose on it! Have a great night brothers!
