If you lasted longer, you would be a treasure.
During the infamous weekly drugstore shopping trip with my better half, I always try to find hidden gems on the cheap perfume shelf. "Oops, something new for under €20 - and it says amber!"
The bulky Bugatti bottle was promptly taken and sprayed onto a tester:
Very, very mushy-sweet opening. Disappointed, I stroll through the store with the test strip, smell it again a few minutes later - but wait, do I smell tobacco? And cinnamon? Oh come on, let's take it with us. In an emergency, it'll go as a gift to the family.
On the skin, it's the same game: a strenuously sweet opening followed by a very pleasant drydown. Not (any longer) too sweet, positively unobtrusive with a masculine tobacco note.
A few weeks later, I gave it away anyway. Why? It lasts for 3-4 hours on me. Of course, you could say "at this price, you can spray it 5 times a day". Yes, you could - but I find the opening so exhausting that I don't want to do it several times a day.
Price/performance is a 6/10 in my opinion. Yes, it's cheap. Yes, it smells really good in drydown (for a drugstore fragrance). However, one should not forget that for the same (or similar) money you can get the Arabian realms á la Lattafa, Al Haramain and the like, which play in a completely different league in terms of durability.
