Lack of Independence with Low Longevity
The initial burst of freshness disappears after two minutes.
The aromatic spiciness from juniper berry and wormwood fades away after a few more minutes.
What remains is an almond-like, creamy, sweet aroma that evokes associations with Le Mâle, but is noticeably more subdued.
There is an underlying woodiness, a vanilla-like sweetness, and what is likely a generously used musk.
After an hour, the scent can only be perceived up close.
The heavy bottle with the meander design is reminiscent of Versace.

Not a truly bad fragrance, but the lack of independence and low longevity count against it. It's okay to try, but not a must-have.
Even the very low price, often well under 20 euros, ultimately does not convince, as there are better and more distinctive options available for that price.

Regardless, the fragrance remains in my collection for further study and comparison purposes.

Powdery iris vanilla. Very pleasant scent. For 5€ it is a 10/10 cheapie!

I smell marzipan/almond. Creamy sandalwood adds to it. Little spice, but a lot of sweetness. You might like it, but you don’t have to.
