I don't usually blind buy fragrances online without testing first, but I'm glad I took the chance on this one.

Protagonist has a strong, noticeable scent that really stands out. I even received a few compliments while wearing it. The longevity is solid and it lasts for hours without needing to reapply. Overall, it offers great value for the price and performs better than expected.
