Cedarwood & pepper in perfection, but unfortunately not for me
I got carried away by all the positive reviews and decided to buy a bottle of Hala
I'm not the woody type now, but I thought ok maybe it's a perfume that might appeal to me.
I've tested it several times now and I keep asking myself the question: what occasion do you actually wear a fragrance like this for? The opening smells like realistic pepper and nutmeg.
No sweetness, no freshness, just very spicy.
Unfortunately, as I said, so realistic that I think I smell real pepper or nutmeg.
Unfortunately not a big fan of ️
It doesn't get any better for me in DD.
The pepper remains prominent, joined by subtle labdanum and a lot of cedarwood.
Like everything else in this perfume, the cedarwood smells very realistic.
After just under half an hour, I notice incense.
This gives the fragrance a very slightly smoky note.
You have to like it, otherwise it can be exhausting.
Ultimately, it remains a peppery, woody, slightly smoky fragrance, without a hint of freshness or sweetness.
Very mature, very masculine, I can't imagine it on a woman for the life of me.
Therefore not unisex for me.
Rather on a man aged 30+.
But of course everyone can wear how or what they want, it's not like that.
The performance is ok.
Three sprays on my arm and chest are enough for me to notice it easily for about an hour.
After that, I might go fragrance blind.
Still doesn't seem to be a strong performer, but it's not a breeze either.
I would say the longevity is better than the radiance.
If you want to buy Hala, you have to ask yourself: am I a fan of pepper and cedar wood? I can clearly answer no, which is why I only give this fragrance 5.5/10 points.
Qualitatively not a bit bad, I don't smell anything synthetic here.
It just doesn't suit MY taste.
Fortunately, tastes differ, but still not a candidate for a blind buy.
