This is my first review and also the first for this fragrance. I won't explicitly address whether individual notes can be detected, I'm not quite there yet with my nose :)
Now to the scent: Right after spraying, Halloween Man Mystery reminds me of a rather cheap aftershave from DM. It smells fresh, slightly citrusy, and a bit spicy. Over time, I get slight vibes from already known fragrances like Office for Men, with more focus on BdC rather than Sauvage. As it develops, the geranium becomes more prominent, as it can also be found in Ysl Y Edp and Le Parfum. Overall, it’s a nicely clean and fresh blue scent with a subtle spiciness.
Now to the exceptional part of Halloween Man Mystery: The longevity and sillage. The scent really lasts all day!! On my skin, I could still smell it even after 14 hours :o
Is the scent an absolute must-have? No! This fragrance DNA already exists numerous times. And yet, especially when considering the price and longevity, it can hold its own against BdC and the "big ones."
I find your review quite accurate. I've had it for a few days now, but I've only worn it once. I also thought of a mix between Sauvage and YSL Y. The initial fresh Ambroxan from Sauvage and the sweet synthetic notes from Y. Additionally, I definitely get some La Nuit de L'Homme in there, with the lavender or fougère-like notes.
The longevity was also decent. For me, it's definitely a good all-rounder, with a fair price where you can't go wrong. However, if you already have the mentioned fragrances, you don't necessarily need Halloween as well.
