The oriental powerhouse...

Hello everyone,

before I go into certain things about the scent - I would like to get rid of 1 or 2 other things.

I am someone who has arrived in the extremely high-priced league, but I never forget my roots and where I come from.

Means?

I don't just write those reviews of expensive fragrances, I also like to write ones like this from time to time. I also used to only have fragrances in the price range (up to 60€), as there was hardly any more for me in the past (training money etc.)
The OVP/tube is very reminiscent of LV in terms of structure - but there is still a velvet layer here = beautiful. You can like the bottle and the shape or not, both are perfectly ok..., my first thought was "ok, something different" .

The bottle and the lid are really good for the price range and have an almost high-quality finish = a very decent impression!
Finally, I would like to mention openly and honestly that I do NOT (!) like the fragrance or the brand, so in my opinion there is no better way to be unbiased.

About the fragrance:

It's always a bit ungrateful to write oriental... Because what is oriental? In my world, it's a mix of spices that don't grow in the western world, such as saffron and nutmeg, cinnamon, etc. and this woody oud base with (clean) musk, a dash of leather and the HONEY create a very successful composition.

But why only a 7.5?

This is not so easy for me to say...., on the one hand the fragrance is very synthetic = which is completely understandable given the low price. I also know what is possible in terms of quality. Even if the fragrances play in a completely different LIGA, that's clear to me! But these kinds of fragrances are no longer mine, although they used to be!

But the biggest plus point apart from the price (I'll get to that in a moment) is its performance. Because it's abnormal, abnormal and AWESOME (positive). Honestly (!), if we ignore DUPES, then Marj Eau de Parfum is probably the strongest fragrance you can buy for 65€.

POINT.

If an "inexpensive" fragrance lingers on my skin for 20 hours, then this is worthy of all honors!
Let's move on to the price:

I have already more or less hinted at it indirectly. The Marj Eau de Parfum is one of the best fragrances (!) in the range up to 65€ (excluding dupes).

However, its power also has 1, 2 disadvantages:

It can go to your head and cause headaches. Due to its POWER, it should be dosed discreetly = your environment will thank you for it!
Can I recommend it?

Test it absolutely!
Buy if you like it!

Buy blind?

You like oriental - sweet and heavy fragrances then yes, the loss in value is absolutely manageable.

UNISEX?

It is absolutely UNISEX wearable!

And now have a nice day/evening or whatever you are reading this review, LG the Benny
