Admittedly, as a man, I am always a little skeptical of unisex fragrances, because for me, many of these scents go either in a masculine or feminine, very rarely in both directions.
But why do we feel that way?
Are we so polarized as children that some things are only for men and some are only for women?
Or is it the fear of being caught by other men wearing even a unisex or a women's fragrance?

I for one had an olfactory upgrade as a man, which I owe 100% to my girlfriend, because through her I ultimately landed here on Parfumo.
Thank you my dear, is really a great joint hobby we have.

But now to the fragrance itself:
Although Sundazed at the first spray quite strongly reminiscent of a citrus cleaner, I must confess that I was immediately blown away.
( for whatever reason, sometimes that is just so.)

Somehow this scent immediately triggered something in my head. Maybe it was the fresh combo of lemon and tangerine that you notice after the first spray, who knows.

On the second, third, fourth & fifth sniff it became more and more beautiful to me and I felt like I was transported back 30 years. Standing in my grandparents garden under the fruit trees,smelling the flowers and eating cotton candy while doing it.

Jasmine comes to the fore after a few minutes paired with cotton candy and the still slightly present citrus. For me, a dream of fruits, flowers & cotton candy. Not too sweet, just round and successful the part.

To the durability & sillage I can say that I Sundazed to me even after several hours still very well perceived and he is also perceived by others still.
For me here clearly underestimated in the reviews what H / S concerns.

So who is looking for a slightly sweet, at the same time fresh floral and extraordinary fragrance for himself and his partner, makes nothing wrong with Sundazed in my eyes.
So ladies and gentlemen, buy the part ;-).

See you soon

Hello dear Parfumas and Parfumos,
since this is my first review, I ask the Parfumo community for indulgence.

When my girlfriend and I signed up here a few months ago, I never dreamed that I myself would write a statement or, even like now, a review on a fragrance. But I must admit, this platform is addictive and the people with whom I have had contact so far, are very very nice and open-minded.
In this way, thank you to you. ;-)

In recent weeks and months, various bottles and bottlings have arrived for both of us, including Fucking Fabulous by Tom Ford, which we both found very good, but he goes in my opinion a little more in the masculine direction. But that is certainly a pure matter of taste.
With certainty I would have me or us also a flacon zugelegt, if there was not this horrendously expensive price would have been.
Through the statements and reviews here on Parfumo, however, I became aware of the fragrances of Federico Mahora after some time and especially on the dupe to Fucking Fabulous: Pure Royal 823.
At just 25 euros for 50 ml I did not have to think long and ordered it.
Finally after a few days the package arrived. Like a little boy I have expectantly torn open the package and schwupp the first spray on the wrist sprayed. Briefly waited and... first sniff and I think
F...ck, they have the original packed in another bottle? Second sniff, ok that smells just like the original.
Now came the test to the example, the Dupe on the left arm, the original on the right arm, briefly waited and smelled.

Now to the fragrances themselves:

Tom Ford F&F starts a little alcoholic. After about 1 minute I smell lavender, leather and vanilla.
After some time, the bitter almond comes in for me, which gives this fragrance the uniqueness, not too sweet but not too tart. I think these nuances make it that both men and women can wear this fragrance.

Now for the Pure Royal 823:

This one also starts off a little alcoholic, but that also dissipates after a few seconds. Then the vanilla comes a little more than the original in the foreground followed by lavender and followed by more discreet leather.

To smell out all the scents I definitely lack more practice. But what I can say 100%, is that the dupe is definitely in no way inferior to the original. Its scent development is in the same direction as the original, with a touch more vanilla I would say. I would say it's a 90% match and if I didn't know it was a clone and someone put it in an original Tom Ford bottle, I would say "thank you" and be happy that I finally had the original Tom Ford in my collection. Because I probably wouldn't notice. A more practiced nose would probably manage to smell out the small differences

My conclusion:
Who knows the original and has so far but because of the high price shied away from buying him, is more than well served with the Dupe.
For me, no synthetic nuance is perceptible, as can sometimes be the case with other dupes.

Briefly still to the durability and the Sillage of Pure Royal 823:
Both the durability and the sillage are top with this fragrance! After already 4 hours, it is still well present on my skin perceptible. So herewith even stronger than the original is the case with me. Also my girlfriend takes the fragrance on me still perceived.

I hope I could give one or the other a little insight into this, for me very beautiful fragrance. Dupe or not, for me it is actually just a beautiful fragrance at an unbeatable price.

See you soon!
