Top match in the olfactory Bundesliga
Hello and a warm welcome, dear friends of the cultivated smell and ball sport! Today, FC Würzhausen and the underdogs Grün-Weiß Frische face off in an absolute cracker! The prices for tickets on the third market were horrendous, but those who bought smartly were still able to secure access to the top match at a very reasonable price, even if the venue raised a few eyebrows! But enough of the external circumstances, kick-off and here we go, possession of course for the favorites Würzhausen, but they have problems at the beginning to combine unerringly! Wait a minute: there's an extra player on the pitch, according to the jersey flock a certain "Kirsche", but he's not even on the player sheet! He's getting involved, yes, times of domination, what's going on here? Despite the adversity, Grün-Weiß put up a brave fight, it was a game of equals in the first few minutes, even if Würzhausen were already pushing hard! If I may use a metaphor from the world of tug-of-war at this point: the players Lavender and Green-Apple are trying hard to stand up to the FC Würzhausen team around the star players Nutmeg, Pepper and Tobacco. The player Jasmin hangs on the rope with his hands, but is too short and his legs dangle aimlessly in the air. Predicate: certificate of participation! Pfeffer quickly runs out of steam after a strong start and so a quarter of the game is already over without anyone being able to decide which direction the whole thing is going in. But back to the action on the pitch: FC Würzhausen's dominance slowly begins to pay off and they take the lead! While Green-White were still getting their bearings, another goal rang in their box and Würzhausen extended their lead. Perplexed faces on the bench and among the players of Grün-Weiß Frische just before the break - can there be anything more to come? The second half will show that, Würzhausen under pressure, Grün-Weiß don't want to give anything away here! Yes, what is the Würzhausen player Weihrauch doing there? Is he running around headlessly in the center circle and can't assert himself right from the start? This of course results in the ball being lost and Green-White score the well-deserved goal! Huge cheers from the underdogs, is there still something left? We're in the final third of the game and now Würzhausen unpack the crowbar: The players Vanille, Amber and the South American star player Guajak are substituted, supported by the now strong Patchouli! Grün-Weiß Frische try everything, but even the substitute Vetiver can no longer prevent the third and decisive goal! The game is over! After a long and intense battle, Würzhausen lives up to its role as favorites and gets the job done in the end!
Author's serving suggestion: This review is best read in a head voice somewhere between Werner Hansch and Fritz von Kann and Tutnix.... uhh Thurn und Taxis and a good dose of tongue-in-cheek ;)

An announcement to all cherry fragrances! The killer hunts the throne.
Waited a long time to get hold of it, now it's here. Starts a bit stale somehow. Mhhhh.
Fortunately, this subsides after 2 minutes. Smells of cherry grog, incense, a hint of raspberry, leather, earth, wood, tobacco, vanilla. Everything quite mixed, nothing too dominant.
What I find very surprising, however, is that it has a completely different effect on clothing. Much fresher and fruitier. It also has this strong cherry-conjac note, but luxurious and masculine, awesome! I like it much better than on the skin. Wow, I really, really like that.
After a few minutes on clothes, much fruitier, brighter and fresher. Not quite as vanilla-like. The high-proof cherry concoction slowly turns into a cherry liqueur with apple and peach influences. Can't name anything as a comparison, definitely has something of its own.
After 10 minutes, it develops better and better on the skin and becomes more fruity. But then it smells a little darker, woodier, smokier and earthier.
The few sprays on my sweater don't leave me in peace at all, absolute addiction factor, and it definitely has a little of that fruity Guerlain Ideal DNA that was mentioned. Masculine, strong, fruity-fresh cherry liqueur. It is also elegant and sexy, with a macho aura, and simply delicious. But you can also wear it on a date if you're the type. It will make one or two women melt away. Not a fragrance for young surfer boys, at least not at first. However, it becomes softer and more sociable as it progresses. It doesn't intoxicate with fragrance games, and as it progresses, the fresh fruitiness diminishes somewhat, but the longevity is good. I also like the fact that the vanilla has been held back a little. Yes, what can I say? A good, masculine, fruity fragrance with that little something extra. Not too light, not too dark and suitable for everyday use. It impressed me and is one of my favorites.

Merely inspired by Red Tobacco, but nothing more.
I was actually quite sure that the fragrance was not a Red Tobacco alternative In fact, when I got the bottle, it reminded me more of Sauvage Eau de Toilette than Red Tobacco.
I was wondering what makes people think that this is an RT alternative?

A few days ago I wore it again and this time it actually smelled similar to Red Tobacco.
How can that be I thought to myself? Well, when I tested it for the first time, I was very close to the skin with my nose and it just didn't smell like Red Tobacco at all.
In the air, however, the RT DNA is clearly recognizable.

Would still say that it's not a 1:1 dupe.
In the opening you can smell the green apple very well.
A little saffron, some nutmeg and a very subtle smokiness from the incense.
I didn't have any of that the first few times I tested the fragrance.
Has my bottling matured? I honestly don't know.
At the time, only the fresh apple was very prominent.

Later in the DD, it becomes inexplicably musty on the skin.
You can tell the fragrance lacks quality.
Definitely no comparison to Red Tobacco, but the price difference is also enormous.
I also detect a slight hint of lavender and a very slight hint of tobacco, but this is more in the air.

Towards the end, it becomes slightly woody on my skin and also very slightly floral due to the jasmine note.

In terms of performance, it can't keep up with the original.
It performs well in the first 90 minutes, after that I would say rather moderately.
I only tested the durability on clothing, where it easily lasted until the next day.

My conclusion: I now find that it is somewhat similar to Red Tobacco, especially in the air.
I would say the two fragrances are 70-75% similar.
Hunter Killer is more synthetic, fresher and therefore also wearable on warmer days.
Definitely not a bad fragrance, but since I own the original, my bottling is completely sufficient for me.

P/L smash hit from Armaf
Hunter Killer is attractively priced and also really well made.
The price-performance ratio is really strong here, just like the fragrance itself.

Here we have a fragrance that has a certain fruity freshness thanks to the green apple, is pleasantly sweet and spicy at the same time and has a woody, smoky flair.

The apple even ensures that I can recognize some parallels to Detour Noir from the same company The Detour Noir is based on the Parfums de Marly Layton, whereas the Hunter Killer is not. Despite this, the Hunter Killer simply has a similar fruity, sweetish freshness to the Detour Noir.

However, this impression has other players that make this fragrance completely independent.
Here we have this noticeable smoky flair through the pleasant incense, plus this spicy facet through some pepper, saffron, but the fragrance also has a sweet-spicy side through the cinnamon used.
The cinnamon is already quite active and can be recognized for a long time in the course.
But I also really like the saffron.

Furthermore, the fragrance has this pleasant tobacco, which is present, but not too strong or too weak.
This is where the fragrance takes on certain similarities to Mancera's Red Tobacco.
The woody facet can also be perceived over time, as well as something in the direction of vetiver.

The performance is really remarkable. For me, the fragrance lasts around 8-11 hours, depending on the day, and the sillage is also remarkably good.

Before I bought Hunter Killer, I was always worried that it would be too strong, too dominant and have a lot of rough edges. But that wasn't the case.
With this green apple, I simply find that this popular Detour Noir facet is also active here.

Super Hybrid
The fragrance starts with a peppery apple and vanilla which gives me strong Layton vibes after a quarter of an hour a tobacco note is added and the cinnamon and a cherry character emerges whereby the tobacco vanilla combination reminds me of Herod and the cherry tobacco note in combination of L'Homme Idéal Eau de Parfum so in my opinion a mix of these 3 fragrances and has a few facets of each in the fragrance course.
It is not too sweet, has a slight spiciness and at the same time seems fresher than the above mentioned fragrances, confusing but true.
Durability with me 8h with pleasant sillage, whether I will wear it much I do not know yet because I would have expected him a little darker, but all in all a good fragrance that combines 3 fragrances together and in an interesting way.

The bottle is a matter of taste, I find it kind of cool but also kind of kitschy, I find the cartridge funny, the shape takes some getting used to.
Sprayer is top .
You can't complain much and price performance is very good, it definitely smells more expensive than it is, as usual with amarf.
