Eau de Plastik - complete rubbish and not remotely comparable to SMW

I am a big fan of SMW, but I have only had samples of it so far, as the high price has put me off a bit and I wouldn't wear it every day.

When I read that this fragrance is supposed to be extremely close to SMW, I immediately ordered 10 ml. Smelling it fresh from the bottle, it indeed reminded me of SMW, although you can already perceive significant differences here. In no time, I sprayed a spritz on my arm.

What awaited me was a nightmare. The stuff smells like liquid plastic, it has no freshness at all and is also extremely flat. I gave it 30 minutes on my arm, and not much changed over time; the disgusting plastic smell did not alter. At least the longevity seems massive; it only disappeared after scrubbing my arm with soap three times.

Conclusion:

An extremely cheap, plastic-smelling attempt to copy SMW. At least it's good to know that I can no longer take many reviewers seriously who talk about 90% similarity here ;) You can sense from the first sniff of the bottle that it's supposed to go in that direction, but from then on, it's a difference like night and day.

I felt the same way when I ordered and tried it out of curiosity - luckily, it only costs pocket change. I didn't know SMW at that time, but I got a whiff of it a few months later - it's not comparable...

I only know Al Rehab Golden, and it caused extreme itching.

"A generic everyday scent like an aftershave, completely synthetic." I wrote in my notes. And then I forgot it.
