This fragrance is still one to count on. Since the introduction of this gem there has been many new contenders, and really good ones. Based on that I will say that Vera Wang Eau De Toilette is more subtle than say The One by Dolce and Gabbana. Performance is somewhat weak and the initial projection is ok. This would lead me to say this is a "close proximity" fragrance and not really meant to garner so much attention. Regardless I would definitely suggest over spraying but not so much if wearing to the office. The opening of the fragrance is great and the dry down simmers into a nice nutmeg and tobacco masculine lounge. Based on the low price of getting this into your hands I would grab one fast. It's a good addition to your cozy collection.
