XX Artisan Teal is appreciated for its appealing fresh aquatic profile and affordability, with users noting others frequently compliment the scent. However, the fragrance is consistently criticized for poor longevity and projection on the wearer, often fading within 1-2 hours despite decent performance on others' skin, making it a divisive purchase decision.
Strengths

- Versatile warm weather/summer fragrance
Weaknesses
- Poor longevity and projection on wearer's skin (fades within 1-2 hours)
