The details
Launched in 2007, CJ Black by Rue21 is perfect for millennials and centennials. It is a modern-day citrusy fragrance that has a hint of muskiness to it and ideal for summertime use.
Fragrance
The fragrance notes are very simplistic and minimalist. It only includes three key scents; the citrusy and tangy scents of mandarin orange and Amalfi lemon and a subtle yet intense woody scent of musk.
The longevity of smell
The cologne has moderate longevity and sillage. The scents last for almost six hours whereas the projection is remarkable for at least the first two or three hours.
Bottle design
The bottle is available in a 1.7-ounce black bottle with an atomizer on the top. The spraying mechanism works faultlessly and delivers even amounts of liquid in the form of fine mist.
Value
The scent is spicy, citrusy, and musky. It can be used for everyday use as well as for special occasions. It is versatile and given the price point, the cologne performs considerably remarkable.
Final verdict
The cologne is made from three key ingredients; lemons, oranges, and musk. All three are detectable when you apply the scent. It is not overwhelming and has versatile use. Though it can be used by men of any age, most people recommend it for young adults and teenagers due to its high level of citruses.
