Option Review:3ml Roll On This smells different to the recent batches of the original ... and I prefer the perfume parlour! Its much thicker, way punchier and overall more substantial. The lime is beautiful and the coconut is not to sweet. Overall its still a fresh fragrance. The performance of the oil version is about 5 to 6 hours (on my skin the creed was 4h). Wore this on my recent holiday to a certain balearic island and felt like a million bucks. This is a must try!!

Option Review:3ml Roll On Wow, this is shockingly close the discontinued original. The side by side comparison shows minimal differences but I don't mind them. The perfomance of the oil version is quite good for a freshie - round about 6-7 hours in total. For those who wonder, the "greenness" of both this and the OG is not overpowering imho. This is a hidden PP gem!

Option Review:3ml Roll On Unfortunatly, this one is not convincing. It's about 60-70% close to the original (which I own and cherish). Its missing the warmth and the punchy cardamom. Instead, its much colder, fresher and very citrusy in the opening (more so than the original). The dry down is also colder and sweeter than the original. The performance of the oil is rather shy but the original isn't exactly what I call beastmode either. Please reformulate or alter "Cyan Volt For Men 1186".

Option Review:3ml Roll On Very beautiful take on the original. The oil version has a strong projection for about 2 hours and last about 8-9 hours on my skin. Just like the original, this is a spicy, warm, woody fragrances with some rose and some sweet facets. If you're into orientials, I'd strongly recommend this one!

Option Review:3ml Roll On Never smelled the original but this is a fresh, breezy and sparkling orange citrus fragrance. Once the citrus dries down, the ginger takes over. Underneath these notes lies a core of fresh ambroxan (the showergel-ish kind). For a freshy, the performance and longevity isn't bad at all (Oil version). I like it!
Option Review:3ml Roll On I own this (3ml Oil) and the original Eau Extreme (EDP) and this is actually a pretty good alternative to the original. I instantly recognized the smell since I'm very familiar with the dna. In the air you can only tell them apart by the lack of the these typical transparent, breezy Aldahydes that you find in every fragrance by the original brand. The PP has a more generic "musky freshness" note instead. Aside from that, the PP version captures all the other notes. Smelling the PP upclose I'd say the sweetness and the aromatic notes are slightly amped up but thats being very very critical. I get a moderate projection with about 6 to 7 hours of longevity from the PP Oil. I get even less with the OG these days ... and it costs me an arm and a leg! Well done Perfume Parlour.

Option Review:3ml Roll On Not identical to the original but a beautiful fragrance nonetheless. This has a thick cake batter sweetness to it that isnt in the original. Also this smells more wintery/spicy overall where the original feels more earthy/patchouli like. Aside from that, the character of the original is there. The performance of the oil version is nuclear.
