@@RBC0405defy is like an amalgamation of every blue fragrance, it doesn't do anything particularly well or have a high point which you would favor it over anything else out there. Most people would just say it's very boring. However, it's definitely a super safe dumb reach fragrance once the price drops to the 20-30 range. People would probably love it if it was much cheaper, it was usually in the 50-60 range for a long time. However, it's not bad by any means.
