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.
