From Mast, Rome Extradose Pour Homme is a fresh green-woody EDP that does something most masculines in this price range don't bother trying — it leads with fig leaf and green apple instead of the usual generic citrus blast, giving it a genuinely distinctive opening that smells noticeably different from the crowd and earns a second sniff every time. Bergamot and lemon open clean and bright, setting a crisp, polished tone without overstaying their welcome before the real personality kicks in. Fig leaf, white moss, jasmine, and green apple are where this one lives — fig leaf bringing a cool, slightly milky green freshness that's genuinely unique, green apple threading in a juicy tart brightness, and white moss and jasmine rounding it all out with a clean, lightly floral elegance that keeps the whole mid-stage feeling modern and effortless. Guaiac wood, sandalwood, and ambergris close with a warm, smoothly smoky woodiness — the ambergris adding a radiant, skin-close depth that anchors the fresh top notes beautifully and gives the fragrance serious staying power for the price. 6–8 hours, moderate projection.

Pineapple, bergamot, and peach open with a warm, lightly tropical, fruity sweetness — pineapple delivering a bright, slightly exotic fruitiness that is the opening's most immediately distinctive quality, bergamot threading in a clean citrus clarity that keeps the sweetness feeling fresh rather than cloying, and peach adding a soft, ripe, slightly velvety warmth that gives Blue a more approachable and gentle character than the sharper green apple opening of Voyage from the very first spray.

Sandalwood, musk, and cedar close with a clean, warm, lightly woody finish — sandalwood delivering a soft, powdery creaminess that gives the drydown a genuinely pleasant and skin-close quality, cedar threading in a dry structural woodiness, and musk rounding the base into a smooth, transparent trail that holds the fragrance together throughout the day. 4–6 hours, soft-to-moderate projection.

Greatest scent around. Hand's down best men's fragrance out there. The smell is clean, crisp and fresh, not overpowering at all. Good product highly recommended 💯
I owned a bottle of Burberry Brit in the past more less 10-12 years ago. I had concerns about its authenticity as the plaid design on the bottle seemed slightly altered, and they have now included "for her" at the end of the name. However, the scent remains reminiscent of what I remember! If anyone is familiar with the previous version of the bottle and is seeking a replacement, they will be pleased with this one.
I purchased this without knowing much about it, and I absolutely adore it! It has a subtle sweetness, a hint of musk, and a touch of powderiness, creating a delightful feminine fragrance. The packaging and bottle are also quite beautiful. I'm head over heels in love with it! <3
