Carven Homme By Carven For Men Edt Spray 3.3 oz

Technically should give it 5 stars as the product works as intended just fine. 4 stars reflects my appreciation for the product.Arrived on Time. No complaints with shipping. This is popularly referred to as a replacement for Gucci Envy which is no longer available. This might be close to Envy in that it can remind you of Envy but it is missing something. Its closest in its initial spray but after 20 minutes its not quite the same up close. Maybe its best example is in its sillage/projection but up close it is not a great example of Envy. Granted its been years for me since I smelled Envy but our sense of smell is one of our strongest links to memory - and I am not fully taken back to the evenings with Envy.I do like it. I am happy to own it because it is a unique fragrance in my 30+ bottle collection. I like it for myself and all the knocking I give it I still appreciate its ability to bring back hints of Envy. Its not a bad addition to a collection but I wouldnt rank it top 5 for must have scents for someone starting out. I used to wear Envy in my late teens and early 20s. Its a versatile scent but because of its unique smell I would not suggest this as a blind buy. Definitely smell this before you bu it. I would say this is not likely to offend anyone though - just may not be your taste. A little sweet, woody and salty.
