I find neroli to be a bit pungent. I have been using an MX that is scented with [Akuto](https://a314.com/product-category/scented/akuto/). (almost out already!) I like it much more than the stock neroli. I’m just curious about the other two, and how they compare? All 3 seem to be unobtrusive from what I’ve read on this forum. 🙂 ---

FF21 is a bit pungent (to my nose) at first but then it dries down to smell a bit like Green Irish Tweed. Grapefruit smells JUST like grapefruit when you first apply it but then it dries down to be easily covered. I actually have several putatives in grapefruit that I’ve made into custom mixes and I’ve liked the grapefruit so much (and gotten enough compliments from women) that half the time I don’t cover it with another scent. ---

I don’t think AD has a classic clean scent at this time. Game was a clean slightly sweet scent but it’s gone. For good I don’t know. However FF21 and FF22 definitely are not clean unless you associate soap detergent FF21, or potpourri FF22, with clean scent. I dont think either is close to anything made by Creed. ---

I love how different everyone is when it comes to scent. I would never in a million years describe Game scent as clean. Rotting sour fruit is how I always thought of it. ---

That is true, I guess that is why there are so many scents out on the market. The couple of times I have smelled [Akuto](https://a314.com/product-category/scented/akuto/), all I could think of is Bong Shop lol. ---

I think you meant FF22 smells like Green Irish Tweed, FF21 has a different scent. I think it smells like Lysol!!! Grapefruit is really nice and blends with most everything. Or wait, was it FF22 that smells like Silver Mountain by Creed? I forget now. You got me all confused snoopaaaahhhyyy > [@Snoopyace](#): > > Akuto is my personal favorite.

You got me all confused snoopaaaahhhyyy To me FF22 is more reminiscent of Silver Mountain Water. Neither FF21 or FF22 smells as great as the originals but are passable.
