No not really . It's not that it's not pleasant. It is just that you have so much better scent profiles in your collection that you would not know when to wear it really. The only real plus is the price on discounter sites . It's like a no brainer every scent. Nothing to impress with really. it is their version of the blue fragrance that every designer house has ,but it is not Azzarro's specialty. I think if was to get it, it's more like ok now I can say that I have all the ones in that line . But that's it !

Platinum was a pleasant surprise for me, so much so, that I was happy to get a bottle, albeit at a great price. It's a versatile fragrance. Certainly a vast improvement over Ultra Blue. A package has literally just arrived, containing Brioni Éclat. It's been given a quick first blast and wow, what a wonderfully classy and understated, summer scent. It's absolutely gorgeous with notes of grapefruit, musk, ambroxan and rose. It will be my SOTD.

This falls into that Swiss Army knife , does it all type vibe. I bought it blind bought it at the casino because it was the only thing they had in stock that I didn’t have at home. I had smelled it once at the mall over a year ago, could not remember what it smelled like, I just knew it wasn’t awful. I’m quite satisfied with my full retail purchase and have zero regrets.
