Sharp (Crooked) Thing

Bruno Banani is just funny. The advertising, the design, the whole idea behind it I find good. Someone is not taking themselves too seriously.

But the scent can definitely be taken seriously. Crisp, fresh, slightly woody, a little spicy. And then this sparkling, sharp nutmeg note, which makes me think more of fresh bay leaves. The rest remains sparkling with a softened base note that, thank goodness for cedar, does not come across as sweet.

YUP! This somewhat reminds me of other men's fragrances in that direction and not poorly done.

Guys, if you like robust-gentle scents, this is for you.

Mr. X in the Rubber Room

The absolute Mr. X

It could be 1000 other fragrances and no one would ever notice.

That's not bad, but rather quite pleasant. A little break from all the complicated scents when you just want to smell good. Nothing more, nothing less.

I find it fascinating that the fragrance receives so much hate, even though it is the roundest of the round. No one can take issue with it.

I don't worship the scent, but I also can't dislike it, because it is simply such a wonderfully unpretentious pretender.

Unnecessary and trivial

I cannot agree with the positive opinion of DeGe53:
Since I really like about Man and Pure Man from BB and use both often, I took a closer look at Dangerous Man.
The first impression wasn't bad...
But the nice top note quickly fades on my skin, leaving behind a meaningless, generic scent, not really bad, but trivial.
I don't understand why BB brought this unnecessary fragrance to the market instead of reissuing Scent from Heaven.
The longevity on my skin is among the worst I know.
Is it due to my skin chemistry or the fragrance?
It was the same on a test strip...
Better to go for Banani Man or the two mentioned above, they are really okay.

Leaning to the side, but not dangerous

The bottle comes in a very quirky, typical Banani style, with a daring flame! It’s dangerous!
No, it’s not - Dangerous Man is a very pleasant, warm perfume - after the initial burst, the fragrance notes settle and create a rather pleasing floral-spicy overall impression, without the spices being too overpowering.
Yes, very nice - but not dangerous at all (more like a bit boring)!

Tame Wildcat

Actually, I expect a fragrance called "Dangerous Man" to be a dangerous, exciting scent. Unfortunately, this Eau de Toilette is neither of those!

The fragrance itself is not bad, but for me, it's a bit too sweet and lacks the herbaceous-spicy notes. Perhaps I just had too high expectations because of the name...

No, "Dangerous Man" is certainly not the best fragrance from Bruno Banani - still, it is a very solid Eau de Toilette that, even though the scent fades quite quickly, leaves a generally good impression. It's more of a tame wildcat and less of a dangerous predator.

"Dangerous Man" is a good, average fragrance. Nothing more, but also nothing less!
