Adrenaline Enrique Iglesias 2014 Eau de Toilette

I somehow like Enrique Iglesias. He doesn’t come across as aloof despite his worldwide fame & beauty, has been with Kournikowa for ages, and every other summer he releases a danceable club track that spreads good vibes. There are definitely worse, more useless celebrities on this planet - especially the newer ones like Kardashian or YouTube stars. But let’s leave that aside and focus on Enrique's fragrance Adrenaline, which was bound to happen and stared at me every week in the supermarket with its glaring red. It helped; today I sprayed it on...

Definitely a Joop Jump clone, just a good bit more synthetic, scratchy & unpleasant. Many wear it in the McFit changing rooms of this world, fitting with sweat & protein shakes - but beautiful is something else, not even for a few euros. A fruity apple with a lot of sugar straight from the chemistry lab - almost leaning towards RedBull. A lot of tonka, minimal pepper, the rest is monotonous. Okay for teens & better than nothing, still acceptable for celebrities, but for me, it’s just too much. Even though I don’t like to use the term: there’s hardly more synthetic in a perfume, it doesn’t even try to cover it up.

Bottle: red makes it wild... well
Sillage: projects well
Longevity: 4 hours, you have to get through that.

Conclusion: this fragrance is like Enrique's thick wart - it can go!
