Best atomizer in the game (and if a cheapie can do it, they can all do it, so get on it, everyone!) One of the first 'cheapies' I ever got. I dig it, it's unique amongst my warm weather frags. The fizzy fig sets it apart. When the cheap summer choices (Hugo Reversed, CK All, Nautica Voyage, Franck Olivier Blue Touch, A&F Stronger Together With You, etc. etc. etc.) all blend together into one indistinguishable citrus blob - 3am stands well apart. That's what I respect about it. Reminds me of my old high school days when kids were bathing themselves in Drakkar Noir (it had just come out) and I went with Givenchy Xeryus. Be different. 3am is different. I've still got most of a big bottle left but as so many others have said, it barely lasts a few hours on me. Not sure why it can't be found anymore, not finding any info on discontinuation .. ? Thanks for the vid!

3 hours of longevity. Worth a little less than the 15$ I paid for it at Burlington. Atomizer is great, scent is 'meh' and fleeting. Opening is nice, but beyond that there are much better scents to wear around. YMMV, this is my opinion only. It's been sitting in my display for a couple years now, maybe I'll have to give it another shot.

The combination of notes is ultimately unappealing to me. Someone else comments that the opening is better than what the fragrance very quickly becomes, and I recall that as well. Gave it away and don’t miss it one bit. I had a love/hate relationship with that bottle too. Wish that atomizer was more common though!
