Adrenaline Enrique Iglesias 2014 Eau de Toilette

Today, I entered the perfume department with a strong intention to treat myself to Gucci II.

But all the pink boxes were gone.
Well, the price was also high.

However, my wandering eye spotted Adrenaline.
Hmm - Enrique hasn't managed to sing his way into my heart yet, and the name of the fragrance didn't sound enticing either.
But no prejudices, I reminded myself.
And I was right to do so, as I liked the scent immediately.
Not necessarily for me, but I would love to experience it on my dear friend.

The opening is light and aquatic with the mandarin, and the citron adds freshness.
The violet dusts softly, and the pepper provides a mild spiciness.
Invigorating - thankfully without an adrenaline rush.
The saffron gives an exquisite note, wrapped in soft leather.

All the ingredients are finely balanced - nothing overpowers the other.

Yes, this suits my balanced friend.

Despite its transparency, Adrenaline scores with good longevity.
It has already survived a wash on me without being intrusive.

Well, it seems that Enrique does have what it takes to be my hero, as he passionately calls for it in song.
