Well it's not bad BUT
I don't think it's either bad nor crazily good! For sure it's a unique scent, with a strong pepper note. I kind of find it weird a little bit, it's very unusual scent that I am not used to it in other perfumes, and I don't know how to describe it, I find it as challenging to describe as Baccarat Rouge.
Did you macerate it first
So I have bought it for over 6 months now, and for middle easter perfumes, I never judge or write a review unless I macerate it first, I used it couple of days ago, and let me tell it's phenomenal, the longitivity and the projection is amazing too, is it 1:1 to amore cafe? I did not test the original enough for now, but even if it's not, it's a fantastic fragrance (i bought it for 22euros) .
I am surprised with the rating to be honest ! Unfortunately, some people judge the fragrance based on the brand not the juice.
Amazing
I know there is not Oud within the notes, but I can smell it clearly, and as a fan of Oud, I would say for this price point, this is a very good option if you are Oud lover, HOWEVER, for a lot of people this is not a pleasant smell at all (same apply for most of the oud perfumes) so it's not a safe blind-buy at all.
Amazing cheapy
By far the best cheap and blind buy I have ever done!
Well, I am not sure how close it smells compared to Creed, however, by it's own, it's an amazing elegant smell, that I really love, also, if someone told me this is a creed creation, I would believe them because of it's pure elegant smell . The only bad thing about it is the performance, but to be honest I would not expect a high performance from such DNA.
UPDATE: I went to the mall to check the OG, well it's not a very close clone of it (around 80%), does that change my opinion on this perfume? Not at all, still an amazing all year around fragrance.
Does the job
For anyone who is into the lemony smelling scents, this is a great option as it's a straight up lemon for me, and for those who I asked them. I got the 175ml for 75euros from ParfumGroup so I don't feel bad spraying it a bit more than the usual to account for the weak performance. I would use this one more for the gym and the office as it's not offensive nor loud. (Maybe unpopular opinion, but for me this is the grown up version of Versace Eros Energy)
