Luna Rossa Ocean is a fragrance that doesn't reinvent the wheel, but is simply good.
The opening begins with a classic, maritime-fresh note, underlined by a slightly sweet bergamot. This is due to the subtle iris note in the heart, which gives the fragrance a clean, almost powdery elegance - a DNA that is known and appreciated from Prada.
The longevity is very good, lasting about 8 to 9 hours on my skin. The sillage is noticeable in the first two hours, but then recedes and becomes close to the skin. This makes the fragrance extremely versatile: it works just as well in the office as it does in everyday life, as it appears well-groomed and doesn't overwhelm anyone.
However, anyone looking for a reliable, clean, and pleasing scent for everyday wear can't go wrong here. I like it precisely because of this uncomplicated nature.

Yes, it’s a Beckham. And yes, it’s a drugstore scent. But anyone who ignores Exquisite Leather for that reason is missing out.
The fragrance conveys a very clear aura for me: Absolute CEO vibes. It smells like freshly polished leather shoes, a pressed shirt, and a glass of whiskey, instantly signaling presence. The scent radiates structure, confidence, and control - perfect for the office or (un)important meetings where you want to appear calm yet assertive.
The longevity is a bad joke at just under 4 hours, and after lunch, it’s barely a whisper on the skin. This is certainly not a "performance monster" for a 12-hour workday.
But what it does in the first two hours, it does damn well. It exudes CEO vibes.
I like it. And I would reach for it again and again.

In short: a fruity mango bomb with plenty of punch. The first 15 minutes are almost too sweet for me, but after that it becomes creamier and pleasant.

I don't know the original, so I'm judging purely on what I smell - and that is a loud, summery scent that stands out. Good for warm days, leisure, vacation. Office or discreet occasions? Not really.

Performance is top-notch: 6-7 hours, good sillage, 4-6 sprays are enough.

Conclusion: For under €30, you get a lot of fragrance for your money. Those who enjoy sweet, fruity scents will be happy. Those who prefer fresh or light fragrances should steer clear. I personally like this scent.

I got it. Finally. Mandarin Sky is simply uncomplicated. The mandarin at the beginning is pleasantly zesty, not artificial, and then comes the caramel that just lifts your spirits.
​The longevity is good for me; I can still smell it on myself after work. Of course, this is not a perfume for people who search for missing nuances with a magnifying glass, but simply a scent that you spray on and feel good. If you like sweet fragrances, you can't go wrong here. The price-performance ratio is completely fine for me.

The Spectre Wraith really surprised me. Often with cheaper alternatives, the problem is that after an hour, only some indistinguishable scent remains. Here, it's different. This rum-coffee combination at the beginning comes across really well. It smells to me simply more premium than the price would suggest.
What I particularly enjoy: it remains present throughout the wear. Sure, it's sweet, and you have to like that (definitely not for 30 degrees in the shade), but it doesn't lose that "vibe" it builds at the beginning. It smells interesting to me all day long.
In short: If you like gourmand scents and don’t want to pay the price for a designer fragrance, you should definitely check out the Spectre Wraith. For me, it's an absolute no-brainer on the shelf.
