The previous review was right, but probably too generous in my opinion. This smells a bit different from the splash even, less sharp to me. It also does not last hardly at all. There are a few reviews on the Stirling website saying it only lasts 15 mins and I would say that is probably a fair statement. I have loads of Stirling products and they are typically amazing. I have the Alighieri and Sharp Dressed Man edts and they last exactly how I would expect. Executive Man edt seems very weak. Not sure what happened, but if you like the scent, stick to the other Executive Man products. The splash smells stronger than the edt. I'll give it 3 stars which is being generous.
