Dark, Noble, Sweet - Smoking as a Perfume
I was initially put off by the scent notes, but I bought it blindly due to the positive feedback, and now I'm addicted to the fragrance.

First, about the scent:
When I wear it with jeans and a T-shirt, I feel massively underdressed compared to the fragrance.
The scent has a very pleasant gourmand, partly fruity sweetness, perfectly rounded off by dark notes, making it smell neither feminine nor overly juvenile.
In my opinion, it has very little to do with CH Men when you consider both fragrances separately, but upon closer inspection, you can detect a hint of CH Men beneath a veil of sweet whiskey and smoke.
The scent notes blend perfectly together, and there is no truly dominant sharp note that stands out.
This fragrance is not for everyday use, unless you are dressed darkly or very elegantly, so I believe it aligns with the usage scenarios of YSL La Nuit, meaning bars, upscale clubs, dates, and special events.

Longevity:
On my clothing, the scent lasts a day and a half, but on my skin, unfortunately, only 6 hours with a projection of 2 - 3 hours.

Bottle:
Fits perfectly with the scent.

Conclusion: People who love YSL La Nuit will not regret getting CH Men Prive.
It's not as overwhelmingly strong a crowd-pleaser as La Nuit (at least for women under 25), but it has a more noble aura and thus makes a greater impression.

Decent Refreshment for Summer
Scent: Very good for summer. The mint is fresh and invigorating, and the lavender note is calming. There is also a light citrus note.
Longevity/ Sillage: The longevity is okay for a summer fragrance (2-4 hours), but the sillage is weak.
Bottle: Honestly not a fan of it, especially because it doesn't have a regular cap.

Conclusion: I personally wouldn't buy it, but it was a gift.

The best blind buy I've had in a long time! Performance and all-rounder
Do you like Joop! Homme? No? Then Montblanc's Individuel is not for you.
However, if you like the idea behind Joop Homme but are looking for something that isn't overly penetrating and sweet for everyday wear: then your search ends here.
I made it my mission to put together a good fragrance collection on a low budget, and after purchasing Nautica Voyage, Al Rehab Silver, and many others, there was no way around Montblanc's Individuel.
About the scent: Raspberry, vanilla, and mint create an incredibly good, sexy, and MASCULINE fragrance that, although sweet scents often do, doesn't get on my nerves. It's a tamed Joop! Homme with more depth and maturity.
Regarding sillage and longevity: I get very good longevity from this scent (around 8 hours), and my T-shirts still smell of the fragrance the next day, even though I haven't sprayed anything on them. The sillage is also very good for the first few hours, creating a pleasant medium-sized scent cloud around you.
Bottle: A very elegant and well-designed bottle that is flat and well-crafted.

Conclusion: Great everyday scent for younger gentlemen in the 18-30 age range. Very good for university/school/work, also suitable for dating and partying. Incredible quality for a ridiculously low price (22 euros for 75 ml).

Good Price-Perfume Ratio, Weak Performance
I ordered Perry Ellis 360 Red because I didn't want to spend too much money and the fragrance is often referred to as the better Aqua di Gio. I can't really compare the scent to Aqua di Gio since it's been a while since I had AdG under my nose. It's a fresh citrus fragrance with a slight spicy kick that really plays well with the freshness. But as is often the problem with fresh citrus scents, the longevity is incredibly low. The scent lasts for me, since it's spring and not summer, only 1 hour, maybe one and a half at most. The sillage is also quite weak. The performance is so poor that I think the bottle I have is diluted. To be fair, I've heard that AdG has similarly poor performance, if not worse.
As for the bottle: the bottle itself is neither ugly nor beautiful, but what bothers me is the cardboard around the bottle, which really gives a cheap kitchen roll touch.

Conclusion: Perry Ellis 360 Red is only suitable for summer, and that's not because of the scent, but unfortunately only due to the performance. It doesn't really work as a work/university/school scent since you only get a maximum of 2 hours from it and it only performs well in one season. (There are better scents for that, even in a lower price range, see Nautica Voyage, Al Rehab Silver.) However, the price-perfume ratio is still very good (26 euros for 100 ml, Aqua di Gio costs 36 euros for 50 ml).

Too Much of a Good Thing
I bought the SMW clone as a perfume oil roll-on based on various reviews.
The scent is nearly identical; I see no reason to buy the Creed over this fragrance, except perhaps for the much nicer bottle. First, about the scent: a very refreshing, clean citrus fragrance that is made for summer. But what completely blew me away about this roll-on is the sillage and longevity. The roll-on gives you a feeling as if you were catching fish with an atomic bomb. I can hardly dose it; if I apply just a little, it is present but quite weak. If I apply even a little too much, for example more than 2 scent points, then it is so incredibly strong that people literally move away from you on the train. For this reason: better to buy the EdP and stay away from the perfume oil.


Conclusion:
Very good clone from SMW and thus a very good fresh citrus scent and unbelievably cheap. The longevity of the roll-on is very good, but the sillage is too strong. Therefore, if you get it, and I recommend you do, go for the EdP.
