When received package I looked up how to tell the difference between real or fake. The cellophane was quite thick and folded flawlessly to tightly adhere to box. upon opening the cellophane held to bright light and meticulously inspected the lettering and noticed that all the lettering is slightly textured and gold print is exact. Then went to checkfresh.com and entered the batch code that was printed on bottom of box and corresponded with the printed batch id on bottom of bottle. The website informed me that product was created in 2017 and the date today is 3/28/18 and the box notifies you that the edt has a 36 month life span after opening. So, as for the authenticity I do say it is a 100% real deal.<br /><br />As for the smell, I believe this to be more of a sophisticated smell that could be used more for daily presence or a cuddle smell of clean and strong man with a light hint of dark magic, kind of in a similar class as Dolce Gabbana The One but more of a lighter summer scent. As impressed with the smell I would not choose this for a night at the club. I would use a more seducing fragrance such as Acqua di gio, Kenneth Kole Reaction, etc.<br /><br />Now I just received this an will wear it tomorrow here in Reno NV and will test the longevity and how the fragrance reacts to heat from this lovely spring weather of 70... so to be cont...
