Steel Sugar Pink Sugar 2013

I don't know much about Aqualina, but I have often heard about the low price and the many Sugar variants, mostly marketed for women and extremely sweet and sticky. So I can't really imagine why Steel Sugar is suddenly being marketed and advertised for men. Because here, too, the focus is clearly on a gingerbread-sugar accord, not on steel, iron, or other hard metals.

Steel Sugar comes across as quite synthetic and simple. It has a sweet-powdery sugar aura that appears slightly cool and metallic. The sugar is absolutely not sticky but rather dust-dry, crunchy, and futuristic. Gingerbread on a space station. Later, it becomes fruitier and the tobacco emerges, apple and tobacco, like a mix of Pure Havane and Boss Bottled but simpler.

Bottle: simple, pragmatic, cheap, unattractive, and not reminiscent of perfume.
Longevity: 7-8 hours.
Sillage: despite the sugar, still pleasantly tame.

A gray sugar scent that reminds me of a mix between Lolita Lempicka's Au Masculine and Boss Bottled. I actually like it quite a bit, but it's a bit too simple and one-dimensional for me. Still, a good low-budget gourmand.
