Spicy all-rounder with subliminal leather note
I last shopped on Notino and was only a handful of euros away from free shipping. In search of a Cheapie I came across Just For You. The review here made the scent seem quite decent and I decided to order it blindly with it. At a price of just 12 € for 100 ml for an EdP I was a bit skeptical, but the people at Armaf have already shown me many times that cheap doesn't necessarily have to be bad, but maybe just good value. And lo and behold: The thing is truly not bad!
The fragrance scores initially with neat spicy freshness. Nothing you would not have already smelled somewhere in a similar way, but you do not have to reinvent the wheel, as is well known. While the spice is predominant and is complemented by nutmeg and woody notes, the mandarin unfolds a sweetness that rounds off the whole in a pleasant way. After a while, there is a hint of soft leather, subliminal and definitely far in the background. This is hardly worth mentioning, but for the overall composition it carries quite an added value. Only from the incense I can unfortunately perceive nothing at all.
Both durability and sillage are not high-flyers, but at the price but hard in order. The fragrance is thus well suited for the office or simply for days on which you do not have to stab times necessarily from the crowd.
After I Just For You up to this point deservedly praised, I have to get rid of but times something: What is this actually for a bottle!!! About the optics can be argued, that is known to be a matter of taste. I don't see it as grotesquely ugly, but beautiful is different. If it would have stayed that way, I would have gladly given this thing 5 pity points. But oh my shame, I've ordered things on Wish that were of better quality! The bottle really is so poorly made, I can't even get over that at this price. Arrived, unwrapped, at first glance worthy with thick tinted glass. But maybe half a dozen times picked up, the gold plastic frame just breaks out of its socket. Another half dozen times later, a crack right through the plastic casing. Meanwhile, I do not dare to touch the thing. The flacon overshadows of course not the nevertheless respectable quality of the fragrance itself, but with so much bursting plastic one feels more like in kindergarten than in a perfumery.
The absurdly cheap bottle aside, Just For You pour Homme is definitely a good cheapie. It could cost double in my opinion and would still be worth considering. At the current price, however, the fragrance is an absolute bargain that you should definitely take if you want to expand your collection by a cheap all-rounder

Opening WOW, afterwards rather lukewarm
I've owned the fragrance for 3 years now and still remember the first time I smelled it. For my then still very inexperienced nose, the "Radical Brown | Armaf" was simply melt-in-your-mouth:
Sweet and Christmassy spice paired...
