Kayaan classic, it really is great, I have a bottle of Dior homme intense now, and there is a slight quality difference but the scent is spot on, performance is meh but so is the original, right now I have Camaro homme intense just cause I wanted to try it out and it’s terrible compared to kayaan cl
