Great cheapie!

Bound for Men is like taking a walk in a serene forest. It starts with a fresh burst, like the cool breeze brushing against your face. As it settles, it brings in a cozy warmth, like being wrapped in a soft blanket on a chilly evening.

This fragrance isn't loud, it's more like a close friend sharing a quiet moment. It stays with you throughout the day, and the best part is that it's not overpowering. If you want something subtle and comforting, Bound for Men is a great choice. It's like a gentle reminder of nature's tranquility, right on your skin.

No yummers

Well this was a fun blind buy. Insanely pungent synthetic fruit smell with some chocolatey notes that follow. Absolutely disgusting. Guess I'll give this another go in a couple of months. Recommend you don't spray this on yourself or indoors.

Shoutout to whoever designed the bottle. It's hilariously bad.

Sweet Surrender: A Gourmand Delight

This fragrance is unapologetically sweet – think diabetic levels of sweetness. If you're not a fan of gourmand scents, steer clear. It's sweeter than 1 Million and less fresh, with a similar sweetness profile to Lattafa Qaed Al Fursan and a touch of Invictus Victory's vibe. While not bad at all, it's definitely a sugary experience.
Compared to my Code Parfum, this one is extremely sweet, less powdery than I'd hoped, and surprisingly, perhaps even fresher (which isn't ideal in this case). The silage is impressively strong, even surpassing Code Parfum, which is remarkable. However, the scent profile itself, while decent, doesn't quite reach the sophistication of Code Parfum. You can detect hints of the Code DNA beneath the overwhelming sweetness. For the price, though, it's an excellent value.

Review - Bound by Sapil

It has a gourmand feel to it with the cardamom top along with the green mandarin orange notes. The nutmeg and lavender feature really strongly and that could be where it gets its gourmand nuances from. Finally, at the base there is leather and a protruding tonka bean note that is quite noticeable. All in all it is a good perfume to wear for men but mainly during the evening.

Armani Code Profumo for €13

Armani Code Profumo is one of the most beautiful designer fragrances on the market for me.
Once I tested it, I fell a little in love with this scent.
Unfortunately, the price is also not insignificant.

That's why Bound for Men piqued my curiosity, as it is said to be a dupe of the Armani.
However, I couldn't relate to the brand at all.
I had never heard of Sapil before.
So I was initially a bit skeptical.
But then I found out that Sapil belongs to Swiss Arabian, and they are known for good quality.
Therefore, I decided to give the perfume a chance, and at €13.00, the risk is not too high.

And indeed, I was not disappointed; on the contrary, I got much more than I expected.
Aside from the slightly more synthetic opening, the perfume is almost identical (at least as far as I remember) to the original.

In the opening, Bound is a tad fruitier than the original.
However, the fruity notes fade quite quickly and give way to cardamom, nutmeg, and lavender.
Gradually, the leather also comes to the fore.
As the scent develops, it becomes sweeter, warmer, spicier, and creamier.
In my opinion, the sweet tonka bean causes this delicious creaminess.
I find that great, as I’m not a big fan of leather and prefer sweeter scents without too much leather in them.
The amber is quite subdued but gives the fragrance a certain warmth and spiciness.
So everything is just as I remembered it from the original.
Sweet, spicy, slightly leathery, and very, very creamy, almost chocolatey-it's simply a beautiful perfume.

The scent is great, but how is the performance?
6 sprays and I could still easily perceive it after 7 hours.
In the first 2 hours, I almost felt nauseous because I was in a small room with several people, and it was too much.
So the performance is really very strong.
An 8.5 out of 10 for sillage and longevity.

When can you wear this beautiful piece? I wouldn't wear it in summer; it's too sweet and too potent.
So I probably have to wait a few months again.

My conclusion: Totally blind-buy worthy if you know and like the original.
It is the best of the dupes I have tested so far, and for this small price, I can only tip my imaginary hat.
I love it and would recommend it to anyone looking to save some serious money.
There is one downside, though: the bottle is made of very cheap plastic, which you have to keep in mind, but otherwise, I am completely satisfied.
