Unfortunately does not convince me

The Pure Instinct is a typical fresh fruity fragrance with shower gel vibes and woody hints.
Unfortunately, it was for me very 0-8-15 and strongly synthetic.

He has not convinced me, but still there will certainly be many who like him. Especially people who do not live so much in our little perfume bubble.

In itself, you do nothing wrong with the fragrance. He is solid, pleasing and not at all eckt.
For me, however, he is definitely too
0-8-15 and too synthetic.
I am somehow missing something here.

What is positive to note is the durability. For such a kind of fragrance, he holds out really well.

Powerhouse

My bottle is from 03/2023.
Opens quite fresh, sweet, fruity, a bit aquatic with a slight oriental touch.
Has some similarities to Rasasi Hawas but is less aquatic and more fruity so if u know and like Hawas then u will definitely like this one too.
Powerhouse performance.
Fragrance is not really unique or special but still a good buy for nice weather.
It lifts me up and makes me energetic when i spray it.
Indoors max 2 sprays and office max 1 spray, it really is that strong.
Good weather outdoors this is amazing.
Not a fan of bottle design, can easily fall over if u hit it, heavy cap is nice though, clicks firmly on bottle.

Swiss army golden knife

If you have that type of nose that is looking mainly for fresh&clean smells, this is for you.
PI opens with a juicy rain of feshness and what I love about it, it's the depth.
Besides all citruses, it is veeery well balanced with some peppery, sweeet and aromatic nuances.
Very sporty and clean, very pleasat and enjoyable. What else impressed me a lot was that I finally found a semi-cheap fragrance but with a natural smell and a clean dry down, without synthetic opening or synthetic dry down. If you ask me, I would rank this among bleu de chanel, dior sauvage, dylan blue, chanel allure homme sport and other frags in this genre any day because this is really good with very good quality. It seems to be familiar as a smell but overall very well done.
Want some more ? Performance !
Absolutely no problem. 8 hours at least in longevity and good/very good projection if you are not shy with the sprays. Great, great signature scent and all year rounder. Especially if you preffer fresh&clean over sweet&smoky. I am still surprised as I am sniffing it. Sporty, clean, fresh & citrusy while being a noticeable fragrance. This is longer lasting than most of the freshies, be sure of that.
As mentioned earlier, versatility it's through the roof. Dates, days, nights, parties, office, formal, casual. This can take the form of any of your preferences. Prices are very, very good at times so keep an eye on it while it's still pretty affordable.
The balance and blend between fresh, clean, citrusy, woody and a bit of sweetness/creaminess is heavenly.
Bottle design is also awesome. Heavy bottle with very heavy metallic cap. Cap clicks in place and the atomizor it's more than decent.
The best purchase lately and it's one of my favourite fresh fragrances so far. Compliments will come easily if you are also looking for this.
You have to try it !

Overall : 8.6 / 10

Cuddly lion

Yep, what does he mean by the title...

...Again a perfume with more ingredients than a wedding cake. He was a blind purchase, which I do not regret, however. Whether he is as described here almost a BdC Dupe? Rather not.

Sprayed on he actually opens peppery and fruity, even something aquatic. Remind me he does strongly Versace Dylan Blue in the top note. However, the fruity seems very synthetic and can not keep up with the Guerlain series in terms of authenticity. The fragrance seems like clutter in the opening, no clear line, it says nothing to me. It tries to be a lot without really expressing itself. I guess this is where the lion is supposed to come out...well...maybe he showed his face a bit...

...But then, when the scent finally settles, it sorts itself out and impresses the wearer. The clutter dissipates, it still wants to be a lot, but then it is. It is spicy woody, then again sweet, somewhere very fresh, then again fruity and floral, yes even the something rose can be smelled out, some would even say that it has gourmand-like traits. Really only slight traits. The thing that fortunately fades is the very strange peppery note (there's really no other way to describe it).

"It's ideal for warm evenings and makes the perfect statement scent for the man who can't be tamed," reads the fragrance's description. In my opinion, more cuddly evenings. He is also club-suitable, but the sexyness of a Versace Eros he does not have.

"Pure Instinct is inspired by the instincts that give lions their power and majesty."
A lion only sleeps, however, for most of the day and so is this fragrance. A cuddly lion, relaxed on his throne, he no longer has to prove himself. Still very sublime, powerful but no longer need to duel.

The sillage and durability are very strong. For an office fragrance already too strong. Otherwise, it is suitable for any occasion. Since the fragrance needs its time to develop and the top note is really not convinced, it is "only" 8.5 points for the fragrance from me.
