What a ripoff!
Tried a decant of this. Let's start with the positive: the quality is pretty good (above the average designer quality). That's it. Otherwise, it's floral, barely any booze, and latest only 3-4 hours with low projection. Skin scent another 3 hours after that.

The bottle is the cheapest stock bottle you can find, and so is the print/design. You're buying a brand with 0 brand recognition, a scent with crap performance, and quality of just above average, for niche price?!

No... Just no.

Holy crap...
This is not for the faint of heart, it's strong, manly, boozy it's deliciously strong fragrance and will not quit so do not overspray, I would say curlyfragrance the one who designed this fragrance knew what she was doing it smells mass appealing and niche at the same time.

It's not for everyone but I will say it does smell like how much it cost in my opinion so money well spent for me, if I had to say how it smells to me, amber, woods, slightly spicy, with a lot of booze lol

Here, the progression could have been very linear for me
Attraction Fatale was included in a sample exchange, and at that time, I had never heard of this fragrance.
I was very curious about this scent due to the fragrance pyramid and the consistently nice conversations with a super Parfumo.

What can I say?
The fragrance has certainly managed to convince me.
I like it!

For me, it is a spicy-sweet scent with a wonderful rum accord.
Attraction Fatale thus gets this slight boozy/tipsy touch, which I find extremely appealing.

Especially at the beginning, we have a really beautiful scent impression.
Right after spraying, it takes a few seconds to settle, and then it begins. A wonderfully soft rum accord comes around the corner and is joined by the mandarin. I couldn't really recognize the mandarin at first, but it did come through eventually, albeit subtly!

The rum is predominantly noticeable. The rum even conveys a slightly nutty impression. This nuttiness reminds me of hazelnuts, and thus a pleasant gourmand vibe is created right away.

Admittedly, I can't detect the listed rose at all.
Over time, it becomes spicier and "darker".
Some pepper, nutmeg, and woods come into play.
This delicious and, for me, brilliant nutty character unfortunately fades away piece by piece.
It remains nice but becomes different.
The rum stays with me until the end, but it simply has a different scent impression than at the beginning.

The fragrance is really well made, and I absolutely cannot understand ratings in the range of 2 to 3 or even 0.5, as that is not fair to the fragrance.

Controversial...? For ME, rather clear...!
Hey, this will be my third review on Parfumo and I never thought that my third would be a Curly Scent…

I am writing this review because I want to ensure fairness and, of course, to evaluate this fragrance.

The bottle lies in a beautiful golden bed made of a "silk" cloth and the outer packaging is blue with golden lettering. I personally find the lightning logo a bit cheesy, but that's subjective :)
The golden cap is not too loose and fits securely. The image on the outer packaging is exactly the same as on the bottle...
Before I made the first spray, I noticed a pleasant creamy, yogurt-like mandarin at the spray head with a hint of rose. Not only that, I felt I could recognize some parallels to other fragrances.
The scent itself smells very high-quality to me, and when spraying or wearing the fragrance, I initially notice the mandarin in combination with the rum, a subtle rose, a sweet vanilla, and a creaminess from the musk. The mandarin disappears at the latest after an hour, and the scent becomes a bit darker. I find the interplay of musk and mandarin at the beginning very pleasant and therefore unfortunately miss the mandarin later.

Sometimes I think I can perceive leather, but I believe the rum is playing tricks on me here... To briefly stay on the rum; I really haven't often smelled such a pleasant and authentic rum note.

I wouldn't wear the scent daily, as it has a certain presence and the fragrance DNA is, in my opinion, too intrusive for the office or similar settings. Therefore, I would spray it on if I have plans in the evening (regardless of the season) :)

The longevity and sillage are not outstanding, but the scent definitely lasts for about 8 hours and the sillage is moderate (for me a 7.5).

The perfume from Curly Scent is supposed to reflect the scent of your dream man, and I think, regardless of the price, Chris Maurice has done a very good job here. My taste has definitely been met, and I hope that the scent will be better received over time…
Please bear with my subjective opinion and perhaps make your own impression of this fragrance :D

Smells like a Noir Extreme flanker. Plus a light bubble-gum sweetness with Spicebomb vibes, and a gentle boozy touch. Way too expensive for this DNA.

Is the anti-influencer cannon firing up again? Scent better than rated, fruity, boozy, cozy. Not a reinvention - but still can be good!

Seductive and light,
A bit generic perhaps,
Yet it has gained popularity,
Money in the pocket fades,
The scent quickly fades away.

Curlyfragrance loves Spicebomb Extreme by Viktor & Rolf
Attraction Fatale smells very similar but with more musk and rum.

The scent is well-crafted and has a lovely DNA.
It leans towards Fan Your Flames by Nishane.
H/S is good.

I'm disappointed - a very spicy, alcoholic, overpowering scent like many others.
A no-go for women.

Spicy-sweet scent with a great rum accord that initially comes across as wonderfully nutty, like hazelnut rum. Then it becomes spicier & "darker."

At first, it's very beautifully fruity, but it (unfortunately) transitions too quickly into a spicy DD. It reminds me of oud Malaki + Spicebomb extreme.

I find it very reminiscent of Noir Extreme.
Less spice, balanced and rounded. Nutmeg and rum play their part.
Soft finish.

Somewhere between Spicebomb and Noire extreme with a hint of rum. I would still prefer both.
