i have this $50 stuff my dad gave to me and it smells really good but i don't want to use it.
You should give it a try.
Just a smidge, on the wrists and neck. Enough to be noticable but not overpowering.
If you like it, use it. Maybe not everyday, but if you go somewhere nice or are meeting people.
With the right amount of use a decent sized bottle should last you a year. Which makes it a great gift for birthdays/christmas.
