Not4Me!
On my birthday i asked my sister for a fragrance as a gift. As she lives in Machester (UK) and I in Espinho (PT), I had to wait some time before receiving my EDT. It was a little risky on my part, as I had never experienced this fragrance.

As soon as my sister offered it to me, I opened the package and there it was: CK In2U for Him. But soon, all that expectation that I had initially, was lost. The aroma is super normal, nothing special. The performance is terrible, something that left me disappointed. I think the only positive aspect is the bottle.

In short and concluding, don't buy anything blindly! Read about perfumes, try them in stores before you buy!

I don't recommend it!

Letter to my Grandmother.
Dear Grandma,

When you left you took a piece of me with you. I'm sorry I can't go back a little. I have so many things from you. Your perfume that you always used, your connection to nature and animals.

Remember when you taught me the beauty of planting and harvesting? Your orange tree and your lemon tree are the things I will never forget. I bought a perfume that makes me travel until these days, in fact that was the main reason for buying that perfume. It will always be one of the good memories that you have left, because I can visualize in my mind your presence in the field around the plants and your trees. Thanks to this I found another way to feed this giant love that you left me.

I love you. Thank you for being in my life. You are always with me.

See you Grandma Maria.

Very similar to Neroli Portofino with a tad more orangey vibe. A nice fragrance that serves its purpose of making you feel clean and cosy, especially after a nice fresh shower. I would not recommend this for a special occasion, but it's great for pretty much anything else.

Very citrusy with a floral touch to the mix. Excellent for summer days and for the hottest days of spring and autumn (yes, in Portugal autumn is also relatively warm). For the price (100 ml 25 €) it is well worth it (don't forget that the performance is very similar to much more expensive perfumes, like Aqcua di Parma).

I recommend!

Injustice? I guess so!
I will begin by saying that I do not consider Bleu de Chanel worthy of all the negative and indifferent criticisms. Before buying, I tested it a few times and found it to be superior to some other popular colonies.

Although smell is a matter of personal taste, it is not at all boring or generic. For me it is very refreshing and layered. There is a rich creamy quality to it. It starts citrus. A little green and minty, but it gives way to fresh and fresh woods. You will miss it if you are just experimenting, you need to use it!

It has proven to be long lasting on my skin even in hot temperatures, so it will be great for spring and summer (day and night). I used it at work, and everyone keeps asking "what is this fragrance!?". Everything about the Bleu de Chanel is a winner. The deep and complex perfume, as well as the bottle (the magnetic cap is incredible). I can see where it might sound like "boring" and or "generic" at first, but it's anything but. It requires to be used on the skin to be fully experienced.

I had high expectations for this one, and I am not disappointed or disappointed in the least. Bleu de Chanel has not exhausted, but has introduced a new and excellent fragrance worthy of the lineage. I at least love it and recommend it.

Suggestion:
Pick it up. Hold the bottle up to the light and look at it. Apply 5 sprays around the neck. Let the cover fit by itself. Enjoy it.

Yes, we (men) can!
Every year, at Christmas time, my girlfriend and I have a habit of traveling and visiting European cities. The last chance we had to do that, we went to Bordeaux. Before I travel, I like to buy a new perfume for the trip. The choice was this fantastic perfume.

Never in my life, I thought about buying a unisex perfume because I had doubts about when to use it. The fact that took me to risk it was that the perfumer was Jo Malone. I never regret this choice, because I ended up being addicted (as well as my girlfriend) to a perfume so different from what is usual. In the streets of Bordeaux, I never felt inhibited in using it, since it is one of my best memories of the trip!

The cold of winter, the Christmas spirit and ebony wood made the trip unforgettable.

It has good quality for the price, even though it's a Zara perfume. The opening is full of berries, the mid notes are spicy and sweet and there is some woody (ebony) bitterness.

Many will consider a perfume for women (despite being considered unisex), but I think we should expand the horizons because we men can also be versatile in this field. It is not at all a perfume for spring or summer, and I recommend it to be used in autumn and winter.

Longevity is incredible, probably because of ebony wood. The sillage is good, despite not being the strongest point (I didn't care about this factor because the fragrance is strong). The bottle is typical of the style used by Jo Malone: ​​simple and clean.

For this price (100ml 25 €) I recommend!

Parc Floral Memories
Probably not all users had the opportunity to be in Paris, so I consider myself lucky to have explored the city more than once.

When I experienced this fragrance for the first time, I felt again in Paris, specifically at Parc Floral. The mineral and floral notes are what stand out most initially, but after a few hours the woody and amber bounce off the nose. All of these notes are accompanied by powdery.
If you want to remember a moment you spent in this park, I recommend that you try this fragrance!

I am a frequent consumer of Zara, something that is easily perceived through my profile. I'm always looking for something different coming from this store, because not all fragrances are perfect. Still, I would like to highlight this new Zara collection, as it is incredible.
It will not be a perfume for all men, because in my opinion it is a unisex perfume. For older men, it doesn't seem like a good option. It is clearly a spring perfume, to use all day. Note that the performance is very good! Very good longevity and sillage.

Congratulations Zara!
