Great Sauvage clone
I was searching for some cheapies online when I came across Maddox and Mills' fragrances.
I immediately looked them up on Parfumo and saw that Cool Craft is a clone of Sauvage.
The scent has grew on me and I knew that I need it, because it became a staple for a collector.
Really nice presentation, it comes in a cardboard box that has a little texture to it.
The cap is fairly heavy and it slides into place. (don't pick it up from the cap, it's not that secure ^^)
The sprayer isn't that great honestly, it just gives out a little puff, so you have to spray it 2-3 times to get an appropriate amount of fragrance.
The scent is just spot on!
Very herbaceous and a little powdery in the opening, but after a minute, it settles down and you notice that it's just like the original.
It's very well blended and doesn't smell cheap at all.
Decent performer as well.
I got 12+ hours of longevity and 2.5-3 hours of strong projection.
(keep in mind that I was in a 20 degree room the whole time, in the heat it could evaporate pretty fast)
For just 3000 Forints (or 8.5€), I couldn't be more happier with this purchase.
It's a steal!
Save your money and get this, it smells and performs just as good as the original.

Amazing!
I was looking for a great Summer fragrance and I found it!
Potential signature scent :D
Doesn't really smell dated, even though it's a 2005 release.
A bit of fresh air after all the generic designers you can find in the shops today.
Has a nice sunscreen smell, it just can't be overwhelming, you can easily spray away.
It's somewhere in the same ballpark as Azzaro Chrome I'd say.
In the far drydown I got a Cuba Gold vibe from it, it's probably the vetiver.
Solid longevity, it lasted for more than 12 hours on my skin and I could even smell it after a shower the next day.
Lasts a decent amount on clothes too, about 2 days.
Great projector, more than average in the first 2 hours then it gets a little weaker and becomes a skin scent after about 4 hours.
I had this on for about 7 hours already when I was watching a football game in the stadium, the sun was really strong and I constantly catched whiffs of this, I was completely blown away.
Must have for guys under 25 and those who like a unique smelling fragrance.
This could easily pull compliments, although it's a very uncommon thing in my country to compliment someone on their scent.
Couldn't be more happier with this purchase, one of my best cheapies so far.

Not what I expected
Off the top, it's a fairly unique fragrance, it's light, airy and a little floral.
Then after about 2 minutes, the cinnamon makes an appearance and starts being dominant.
After it settles, it smells really similar to Invictus Aqua to my nose, but the cinnamon gives it a little backbone and makes it a bit more mature.
Not a heavy projector, but on my skin it has great longevity at least, about 8-10 hours.
Can be worn year-round, best in Spring and Summer.
Very good choice for work or school, because it's discreet and stays.
Bottom line: I'd only recommend this if you don't have Invictus Aqua yet, but you like how it smells and if you don't mind moderate performance.
This is why you shouldn't buy just for the bottle :)

Bargain Boss Bottled
This fragrance is actually better than I expected.
It smells so nice!
In the opening I get lots of lavender for some reason, maybe it's just me.
After a while, the scent turns 180°, apple and cinnamon start to appear and I also smell some vanilla as well.
Very masculine, delicate and versatile, you can rock this in any season.
Longevity is about 5-6 hours and it projects for an hour, then it is going to sit close to the skin.
For less than 5€, I heavily recommend this fragrance, you just can't go wrong with this.
I don't need Boss Bottled now ^^

A pleasant surprise
I got a 15 ml bottle of this a long time ago and totally forgot about it, but I have found it again recently.
The batch code is 11326, so I assume this is a 2011 batch. (maybe?)
The bottle is a little tacky, but at least it resembles Le Male.
The sprayer has good distribution.
The scent is very linear, it's pretty much mint and vanilla only with a very tiny bit of lavender in the background.
It's sweet, but has just the right amount of sweetness in my opinion.
Not too overwhelming, I think you could wear this all year round, except Winter.
I like this better than Cuba Gold actually, this scent is smoother, more refined, it doesn't want to be really loud.
To an untrained nose like mine, this is going to smell pretty much perfect.
Great longevity, sprayed this on at 10am and I can still detect it 10 hours later.
The sillage is about arm length/half-an-arm length for an hour, so it's really moderate.
I sprayed this on my neck and my arm and actually, this is the only scent so far which wasn't so strong after applying that I went noseblind to it.
(I only went with 1 spray on each area though)
The more you spray, the better performance you'll get, as usual with these clones.
What more can I say?
For 5-10€, this is an amazing clone of Le Male.
You'll get a huge bottle, so you can always spray away and respray whenever you need.
Keep it in your car, your closet, your bag, whatever :)
I'm going to buy a brand new bottle of this and see how it compares to the old one.
This fragrance got me interested in other fragrances marketed by Coscentra, I'm going to try more of them for sure.
EDIT: Bought a 100 ml of this yesterday for 3€/920 Ft (!!) and yep, this is still the same juice
