Lavender-Vanilla/Tonka Deluxe
Annayake Tomo. A sweet and spicy fragrance. In the opening, you immediately smell the lavender. High quality lavender. Just the way you want it to be. Subsequently, the creaminess of tonka bean comes through, which I personally perceive more as vanilla. The lavender/tonka combination reminds me a bit of Lush's delightful "Sleepy" (shower gel, body lotion, etc). I only perceive the other ingredients subliminally. However, the fragrance has a certain freshness and is not just sweet-spicy and heavy.
Sillage is quite decent, although I already tend to apply a little more (as a perfume colleague so likes to write: "stop being a Sissy-Sprayer!" ?). The longevity is appropriate for a fragrance of this type and is around 6-8 hours, after which it is only perceptible close to the skin. Tomo is suitable for autumn, winter and spring. For the club, discreetly dosed also for the office. For the summer or for sports rather unsuitable

Spicy - fresh all-rounder. A classic!
"Emporio Armani He" is an eau de toilette that was launched on the market at the end of the 90s. Typical for the 90s were fresh, aquatic fragrances, often synthetically inspired by calone to convey the impression of sea and sea air. This scent here is also fresh, but in a completely different way than "Cool Water", "Aqua di Gio" etc.: It brings a great spice to the room! Freshly sprayed on, you first smell a mix of fruits and spices like cardamom (very dominant) and sage (rather subliminal). Later on, nutmeg, musk and cedar are added as typical male spice notes, and the sandalwood often used for aquatic plants is also easily noticeable. The fruits and the sandalwood give you a short freshness kick, the spices give you a cozy warmth and a great feeling of cleanliness. Really great combination!
Conclusion: This fragrance is a real all-rounder. Why? It can be worn at any time of the year and that's quite extraordinary. The fruits and sandalwood make "He" a fresh summer/spring scent, the spicy notes make it a winter/autumn scent. The only shortcoming is the durability and sillage. Unfortunately after 2h only perceptible at close range. Not suitable for compliments, unless you get very close. Instead you feel very comfortable, clean and can refresh yourself with this Eau de Toilette! By the way, the price/performance ratio is really good

Good, cheap aquat for sports activities
I came across this scent through Basti87, the comment made me curious. I also love aquatic, fresh scents and "Voyage" definitely falls under this category!
For 15€/50ml already a snapper, blind purchase without much risk. I have to say, this money (or even more) is worth "Voyage" every time!
Scent pyramid is virtually non-existent, the scent remains constantly the same, with one single exception: in the first moment it is very fresh, slightly synthetic, almost biting. The comparison with Sport - Shower Gel is not far-fetched. But as it progresses, it becomes softer, stings less in the nose and becomes more tart. You now smell the green chords and nuances more. Algal, salty, vegetable. In short, the association medicine comes to mind, but it is by no means meant negatively.
Performance/ durability really good, also or especially in sports.
Sillage could be a little better, after 1-2h only perceptible at close range. But this is not unusual for an aquatic animal. For the price you can also put on a little more if you want.
Conclusion:
A great companion on warm days, whether for leisure time, job or especially for sporting activities (tested in the gym and when jogging). Price/performance really top! If you like aquatic scents, want to have a proper fragrance for little money and are not afraid of something synthetic: go for it!

Sporty, spicy, fresh
Jil Sander Sun Men is a classic fragrance that puts you in a good mood and comes across very discreet, fresh and sweet. Therefore I was curious how the sporty variation of this fragrance would smell. One thing first: I was not disappointed!
The bottle looks very eye-catching and beautiful, the red glass goes well with the white cap. The bottle has the classic Sun Men shape. Sprayed on, the fragrance starts very spicy (cardamom, among others) and fresh (bergamot). At first sight, there are no similarities to the classic Sun Men, the fragrance is more like "Joop Wow!" and "Spicebomb", but smells much fresher and less obtrusive. I can't make out a fragrance pyramid with cyclamen, musk etc. as indicated. The scent remains unchanged for the first time. After 4 - 5 hours, however, one cannot deny the similarity to Sun Men, easily noticeable on the skin. I would classify both Sillage and performance/ durability as good. Not world class but still 6, 7 hours well perceptible. I was also (positively) asked about it directly the first time. I work in the health sector in a fitness facility with an affiliated physiotherapy practice, move around a lot there and am in constant close contact with customers. Therefore it is very important to me to smell pleasant. Not only for myself. Therefore I prefer sporty, fresh scents. This fragrance fits perfectly to my everyday life. I would also classify it as a year-round scent. It fits well into the professional everyday life and to sporty activities. I had ordered the fragrance from the South American River, as a combination pack with the matching shower gel. For almost 27€ (75ml each) a fair price. This scent is definitely worth the money. Unfortunately, I think it is no longer produced, at least it is no longer available in the relevant perfumeries.
Conclusion: Surprisingly good, long-lasting fragrance for everyday life or sports. Spicy freshness with good silage and excellent shelf life. Price/performance really top! Recommendable

Tart freshness, gentle but short-lived sea breeze
The Atlantique is my first Bulgari Aqua fragrance. I was looking for a fresh, eye-catching sporty fragrance and found it on the one hand, but not on the other hand.
For explanation:
The fragrance starts super fresh, complex, tart. Reminds a bit of Dior Sauvage, but is rougher, simply tart. Striking Sillage, that's what you wish for. But the whole thing lasts only 1 to 2 hours at most. I would rate the performance/durability as below average, but not surprising in a fresh aquat. Also the Sillage decreases rapidly and is only visible after 1-2 hours. The scent changes from tart masculine and tangy to maritime and fruity, very similar to its twin fragrance "Dior Sauvage EdT". Unfortunately it is only clearly weaker, as I said. But it has a mysterious, complex component.
Conclusion: Pleasant everyday scent for the slightly warmer days and sporting activities with a rapidly fading sillage and below-average durability
