Juanillo Adamo 2024

I haven't tried a citrus-heavy fragrance that convinced me until I found this one. I smell a realistic, perfectly ripe, peeled mandarin that is juicy and sugary sweet when you bite into it. It has neither the vibe of cleaning products nor of essential oils or peel.
The mandarin note is really well done!
The dates add a sweet, slightly sticky component to the fragrance. The pistachios and coconut round it off with nutty creaminess. It creates a "tropical cocktail" that you would love to drink on the beach in the Caribbean.
What I find so lovely is that the citrus fruits remain present until the end, embedded in deeper gourmand notes. The Ambroxan contributes to the freshness of the fragrance. I don't perceive it here as sharp or disturbing, unlike many fragrances.
From start to finish, the perfume is very balanced and definitely worth a try even for "citrus skeptics."

Juanillo initially mentioned a really cool bottle.
At least that's what the pictures suggest. The bottle immediately conveys vacation vibes, and you can somewhat feel that. Unfortunately, Juanillo comes across as a bit too synthetic and somewhat uneven for me.

The scent starts with citrus elements, but in my opinion, these are immediately adorned with a certain powderiness, along with a somewhat strange synthetic note. I also find that the hints of Ambroxan are quite noticeable right away. At this stage, I already felt that this fragrance would not really convince me, and I was right to think so.

Moreover, you can tell that Juanillo tends to lean more towards the feminine side. While it can definitely be worn by a man, it generally suits a woman better.

Over time, a certain sweetness develops. A sweetness that even fits a bit more into the colder season. Date and praline contribute to this impression. I even thought I detected a bit of tonka bean.
However, the fragrance is still great to wear in the warm season due to the previously mentioned impressions.

Admittedly, I can't really identify coconut, only minimally with some effort or perhaps a bit of imagination, haha.
But I really can't smell pistachio at all.

The powdery impression runs through the entire duration, and after a few hours, the musk base comes in.
Overall, it still feels too synthetic to me in combination with the Ambroxan.
I don't really like that here.

Nevertheless, I would still give the fragrance a 7.5.
Since I gave other fragrances a 7 that I found to be a bit "worse" than this candidate.

I would describe the longevity as good. Juanillo lasts about 8-9 hours on my skin.
