I will probably get a lot of contra for this comment. However, from my point of view you have to be allowed to say something negative about high-priced perfumes (maybe especially there), even if you are in the minority opinion.
My expectations of the Roja were very high. The reviews here were just too exuberant. With a perfume for 280 EUR per 100 ml... that must deliver quasi per se.

However, after the first application I was very disappointed. The Sillage is maximum 10 cm from minute one. The smell is quite ok, but it reminds me of my WC duck when I change it. Whereby this probably radiates a more fragrant aura.

I must admit at this point that the evaluation would have been different if the fragrance was available for 50-75 EUR. However, for a perfume for EUR 280, you have to apply different standards. The money is much better off here with e.g. Creed m.E.n.

If anyone has any tips what I could do wrong I am open, I don't want to be disappointed the whole weekend ;)

Since I am a big fan of Ralph Lauren's clothing, I thought that the perfumes might be worth a test. Basically I am a big fan of "blue" fragrances like Cool Water, Bleu de Chanel or Green Irish Tweed (yes, green is not blue).

The fragrance starts with a note that takes some getting used to, which instinctively reminds me of blue Hubba Bubba chewing gum. It smells like mango and an indefinable mixture of synthetic fruits.
In the following, it is a relaxed scent that I can well imagine at temperatures beyond 25 degrees. Perfect for a day at the beach or at the golf club. To the office or on a date then maybe out of place.

All in all, a solid fragrance with which one does nothing wrong in summer and which, in my opinion, offers good value for money

Thanks to the Supaturk sharing, I have now also received a bottling. Admittedly, the expectations were not excessively high, based on the evaluation in the forum. Nevertheless, I was extremely excited.

My first reaction after the spraying was disillusionment. Incited by Jeremy's excessive advertising, I somehow expected more. The smell is somehow fresh and spicy. Not a "wow" experience like Reflection or Layton, but not bad either. I would place the scent in the good area. The overall impression of the fragrance awakens something familiar in me, but I can't assign it. Overall a good fragrance with two serious "weaknesses".

1. The price is simply too high. Personally, I think that's marketing to put the fragrance in a league with PDM, Creed or Amouage. True to the motto: "Even bad publicity is publicity" - but I think the price/performance ratio is simply bad.

2. The Sillage. The fragrance is called "Office", which somehow suggests a certain seriousness. However, the fragrance is absolutely unsuitable for the office (at least in conservative fields of activity). In areas where it is ok to scent the whole conference room, it is certainly portable

But I still like the scent somehow, if I should get somewhere cheaply to a bottling I will strike again. But I will use it rather in a private context.

Of course I bought this fragrance because of its alleged similarity to Aventus. First of all: I own Aventus and think it's good, but I think the hype is a bit exaggerated.
Immediately after application Vibrant Leather starts very fresh and citric, which I like very much. The fragrance does not have a great development with me. But that is not bad at all, because he smells damn good and should not cause any problems. You can get a hell of a lot for 20€ here.
Compared to the Creed, of course, he draws the shorter one. Why of course? This fragrance costs less than 1/10 (in the same amount). I am convinced that Creed still creates art and Zara, on the other hand, simply fills the pointer by the hectolitre. I'm not a fan of buying fakes. Either you afford the original or you don't (yes, the view is controversial). But if you are not willing to pay 200€ +X for a perfume and still want to smell good you can strike here.

The art from the house of Creed is just not available ;).

Yes, I am a student, but I still allow myself the luxury of taking my shirts to the cleaners from time to time. Prada L'Homme reminds me of the scent that the shirts emit when I pick them up from the dry cleaners. Somehow fresh would be the wrong expression, but the fragrance conveys a feeling of cleanliness. I can't recognize any scents, except the iris, but that shouldn't be art either ;).
With this scent you don't do anything wrong, if you don't want to cause a stir anywhere and just want to smell good. But I doubt whether this is the right place to pay as many compliments as possible.

Prada L'Homme is a white shirt, you can wear it all the time, it cuts a good figure but doesn't stand out too much. That's why I like this smell.
