Maximum
Aeropostale

This has a very short longevity, which is what I like about it. I have specific fragrances just for their short longevity. I don't always want to steep in the same scent cloud all the time.

I like that I can spray this on, and a few hours later I can put on some more or try something else. It gives me options. If you insist on always being buried in scent, this is not for you.

I got this after doing some research on Hollister Drift here on basenotes. Hollister Drift is out of production and is now very expensive. But one of the reviewers said this smelled just like it. I picked up a bottle on eBay for around $20. It shocked me how quickly it died down, but now I like it for that.

This is more of a younger person's fragrance. I'm 55 at the moment, so whenever I wear this it kinda feels like I'm going to prom or being dragged to church by my mom. I don't know what it is that makes this feel like a more youthful fragrance. That's so odd.

I like Maximum, though. I wear it for me, so I don't mind the dissonance. It feels clean and sharp. It is completely misnamed, because there is NOTHING Maximum about this. But it is different, fresh, and brief.
