Successful Star-Cheapie

I ordered Enrique's Adrenaline blind a few months ago, as it was really very cheap and the comments and impressions convinced me. Many "star fragrances" receive too little attention because they are quickly dismissed due to their image and price. This applies to some, while others impress across the board. Like some from David Beckham or "Unforgiveable" by Sean John. I could list more, but now to this Iglesias.

Even though most people probably know Iglesias, he is somehow quite unspectacular and more of a "B-celebrity" in Germany, if at all. Nevertheless, the fragrance pyramid convinced me. Plus, a really fair price. 10 euros for 30ml, just under 20 euros for 100ml. It doesn't hurt anyone's wallet. Especially for young gentlemen who are short on cash or bargain hunters like me.
The bottle looks very cheap. Only in the light is it really eye-catching. Great shade of red. Otherwise, typical for the price range.
The scent starts off very fruity with the mandarin. Fruity-sweet, the mandarin appears paired with fresh lemon, which is more in the background as a freshness provider. The spiciness from the heart note starts very early with pepper and saffron. An interesting mix in combination with the mandarin. A well-balanced blend of sweet, spicy, fresh, and fruity. And of course also synthetic, as is almost always the case in this price range. For me, this is not a problem. Sweet tonka bean and soft wood round off the scent in the end. Great creation. Uncomplicated, just like Iglesias' songs usually are. It lifts the mood.
Of course, it's not for fragrance snobs, but rather something for the young "jeans-shirt-sneaker" crowd. In my opinion, it strongly leans towards Joop Go/Jump. Very uncomplicated and should appeal to the younger crowd.

The performance is also decent. The first hours have good sillage and acceptable longevity. It convinces me for this price. Even though I wear it extremely rarely, it's a nice change.
