Antidotte

I don't know how long this bottle has been in my perfume drawers...at least I can't remember.
I'm currently tidying up and sorting out empty bottles and that's when I discovered this I think unused bottle, among others.
Must be tried immediately of course....na yes....Mystique is different.
Synthetic sweetness, with a faint bergamot and then something slightly spicy followed by a synth. lavender note.... a DNA like we find in countless other fragrances.
It's not really bad...but since it doesn't last long, you can definitely save yourself the purchase.
The best thing about this fragrance is the bottle, a handy bottle with raised ornamentation and a metal cap.
Al Haramain now has completely different caliber at the start, if I only think of the whole Aber-Oud-Collection.....

Due to the many good reviews and ratings, I also had to take a look at this fragrance.

Unfortunately, I have to say that the fragrance does not live up to my expectations.
For me, the fragrance smells floral with a certain spicy base.
I smelled it on everything I had leather in the household.
Motorcycle suit, living area, leather jacket, etc. Nothing had a distinctive smell of its own, the leather suit smelled of beeswax because it is regularly rubbed with leather grease.
I then sniffed another leather fragrance...Tuskan Leather....this one is a lot more tart, but the fragrance concept is rather similar.

Now these fragrance pyramids given by the manufacturers should be viewed with a lot of imagination.
Nor does it in any way mean that these fragrance notes are actually contained as essences.
On the contrary, it is only meant to describe the scent sensation and many reviewers...look at the pyramid and try to incorporate these notes into a story, although many do not even know what the individual essences smell like in real life.

I always try to describe what I perceive olfactorily.

Ok so much for this rather sweet floral scent...is that the patchouli?
The fragrance itself is not badly made...I'm sure many ladies like it too.
For me, it's more unisex.

A special treat is the bottle, which is beautifully made.

Rumz Silver by Lattafa was one of the first fragrances from this house that ended up in my collection.
I didn't even know then that it was supposed to be a clone of Ultra Male.
I was more attracted by the bottle and the scent notes.

It's unbelievable how the general fragrance scene has changed over the decades....where there used to be a lot of sultry fragrances and above all shallow freshies that dominated the market, today it's all unisex fragrances that are on everyone's lips and noses.

So for me, this fragrance is not just wearable for men, because women also like this fragrance profile.

For me, the fragrance starts slightly synthetic-fruity.
Then a synthetic sweetness is added and the lavender is already present.
Over time, the vanilla blends in more and more and the vanilla remains the defining fragrance element even with the lavender....until it fades out with a light vanilla sweetness.

A beautiful lavender-vanilla fragrance that is unisex for me.

The bottle with the sublime words like LOVE HOT COOL etc. is something special.
H&S are good average.

The P/L of this fragrance is also very good...and if you like sweet lavender fragrances, you can buy it without hesitation.

I spent a long time thinking about what to write in the headline, but I couldn't think of anything suitable.
After the Royal Paragon, now the Phantom Paragon.
This is supposed to be a clone of Pegasus.
The notes listed in the fragrance pyramid also suggest this.
As there would be: Heliotrope, bergamot, jasmine -
Vanilla, ambergris, bitter almond -
Sandalwood, musk, lavender -

The fragrance really gets going as soon as you spray it on, no alcohol to interfere...but immediately the spicy scent...with a little jasmine for the floral and very little vanilla.
All in all, a beautifully rounded fragrance with spice, a little sweetness and a powdery creaminess.
Only the longevity could be a little better, but that's complaining on a high level with a banging price.

Such a fragrance for 20.-
All respect!

Shiny silver glass bottle and metal cap...all extremely high quality.

Get it while it lasts.....

Hello.
My name is Alex....and I am ...addicted!

As I don't need anything or already have everything...I have treated myself to around 50 fragrance clones so far this year as an early Christmas present.
Good fragrances have been a more or less pronounced and lived passion since I was young.

Ever since I realized how good the Arabian fragrance houses are, I just can't hold myself back.
Today I'm going to talk about the Royal Paragon from Afnan/Zimaya.
The fragrance starts off very alcohol-heavy...as soon as the alcohol has evaporated, a rather beautiful, spicy scent emerges.
The spiciness is underlaid with something sweet and floral, but only subtly, which makes the whole thing quite harmonious.
The very delicate fragrance lasts for about 6 hours....and that is perfectly adequate for 20. At this price, you could even reapply several times a day and still be much cheaper than with Layton.
The bottle is 1a.
Satin blue glass with metal cap.

Specified fragrance notes are: Bitter almond, bergamot, gardenia - mandarin, orange, rose, guaiac wood - coffee, patchouli, amber, oakmoss.

For friends of subtle spicy fragrances a recommendation from me.
