    Nothing. None of the experts who reviewed it raised a problem.

    What the gurus are saying

    This fragrance brings strong nostalgia from the late 1990s and early 2000s, and that's exactly the era-specific quality some reviewers prize the most. It's an affordable option, with frequent discounts helping drive the price even lower. However, others find it just adequate rather than something special, so overall appeal comes down to how much you value that particular vintage aesthetic.
