Received this for Christmas. I've given it a few weeks now and come to the conclusion that the scent is way too weak. No one ever notices it so it's impossible to get a compliment. And I even have a hard time smelling it on myself after an hour or so. I've even tested with friends and they can't smell it on me without sticking their nose in my neck. Since the sole purpose of cologne is to make you smell good to others for a while, I'd say Canali is a FAIL in this respect. I've since bought some other cologne and am thinking donating this stuff or throwing it away. If you're looking for a stronger really good scent, try Pasha de Cartier for Men or Bvlgari Man.
