but I love this cologne. It's hard to review something like this considering that it all smells different on different people, but Black Code is a nice, mellow scent that isn't overpowering or distracting at all. I get so many compliments when I wear this out. I'd compare it to a Preferred Stock, but less potent. Black Code is a little more than I'd normally spend on something like this, but it's worth it! While no cologne can guarantee that someone will tear off whatever clothes you're wearing just by your scent, this one definitely inspires compliments from people!
