How does it perform?
From 58 community ratings, all out of 10.
A short but sweet date; a travel size in your bag is a good idea.
Whispers to close friends, never shouts at a crowd.
Looks good without trying too hard.
The price makes you think, so a small size is a smart start.

WoodyWhat does Reaction (Eau de Toilette) smell like?
It is a light scent: longevity and sillage are both rated weak. Most voters pick summer and spring, and leisure, daily wear and the office are the most common settings. It reads masculine and modern.
The citrus and apple opening gives way to lily of the valley and watermelon, which add a green, sweet, floral touch. Musk, patchouli and sandalwood form a woody base. The overall impression is clean and soft, with a slightly synthetic edge. Bogner Fire＋Ice Man and Vera Wang Look have a close profile.
