Where did you buy it? I'm currently trying to buy a few bottles of different colognes from fragrancenet. I have just realized that colognes are restricted by most forwarding companies.
I can assist in sourcing for you a few frags. I'll send a dm.
Parfums Absulo in Durban and Rio Perfumes on Jhb have Armaf. Both ship. Parfums Absulo was cheaper last I checked. I usually by from their store in Overport.

Still has a good rating, and is by Francois Demachy, but that Blood Orange in the 2017 is so good.

I loved the Dior Sport version that had a ginger opening note.
The current formulation is quite a beast, I got a tester card of it last week and 5 days later the card still smells strong, amazing longevity. But I think I prefer Cologne, it doesn’t project nearly as much as Sport though it still has very decent longevity.
The ginger one was “before my time”, but I love and have the blood orange one
Cologne is excellent but it really is fleeting. But there is not much better than a sweltering day and drowning yourself in it.
Homme EDT > Intense > Sport > Cologne is my preference, at least as far how often I use them.
Sad that I never found “Eau”.
“Parfum” for me is close to unwearable (insanely strong) and “Intense” fills that gap.
Am actually keen to try the 2020 versions.

Everyshop is legit, I got Homme EDT 2020 there but they only have Sport in 125ml. I think I am going to pull the trigger on Cologne, it's got good longevity and it smells great, I prefer longevity over massive projection so it's not the worst trade off.

Does anyone know Givenchy Pour Homme?
I remember smelling it years ago and loving it but it's not available in the usual stores to test.
They also had a flanker called Blue Label but I don't recall trying that one. Takealot has both versions currently for around R1000/100ml.

yeah i had the blue label was quite nice ..
I have a 50ml 95% full bottle of a vintage 2008 batch of Paco Robanne Pour Homme. it still has the original box next to it with the batch code to verify its manufacturing date. Its vintage because they reformulated it sometime in 2016 and now it smells very different. I got thos bottle in 2017 and only used it no more than 4 times since I bought it. The other ones I have been thinking of selling are:
- Joop! Nightlife 120ml (this is discontinued and sells for a high price these days and i have just over 90ml).
- Rochas Men 50ml (its a year 2010 batch that has about 40ml left).
- Giorgio Beverly Hills for Men (118ml bottle with about 100ml left).

im sure someone will maybe want it
Longevity? I thought cologne by definition is weaker and thus less lasting?
Dior Sport is def one of my fav fragrances. Would have loved a parfum version.
Other one of my favs is Bulgari Man in Black.
