I have wings!
Based on reviews and comparisons, I bought it blindly because it was safe for me for only 8$/50ml. I like (and had) Quorum (Q), I like Cool Water (CW) too, but this perfume was a better surprise for me. How can something so cheap smell so good? It's fresh, cool, but having also a warm component gave by amber. Only the lavender opening is similar to CW and Q. The drydown seems to me better than Q and CW. Not so beast on my skin, but even Bogart OMS Gold Edition was kneeled down. Long lasting on clothes.
PS: still I can get why the scent note here is so low. It's a nice smell.

Yummy!
Though I'm not a fan of sweet perfumes, I love this one and Zara 9.0. They smell so good both! This one is really leathery. And sweet. And balsamic/camphory. Awesome smell! :D Very well blended giving the impression of a more expensive perfume. Nice presentation package, beautiful bottle. Huge longevity! I have in front of me a test blotter with GL and still smell it after more than 48 hours. On clothes I smell it after more than 30 hours. Unfortunately the sillage is not so awesome, but good enough. It projects fine/soft waves of aroma even after 4 hours. I bought it for ~10 euros and for this price it's great!

Classy gentleman
The perfume of my youth! I lost it, but I rediscovered it! Wore it in the time when the name wasn't so much for me, but the smell itself.
I always imagined (me as a) Yves Montand, with its cigarette in the corner of the mouth, wearing this gem.
Tobacco note is peerless and the lavender complete it so good! Citrusy, fresh and cool. I can't get why some people said that it's sweet or unisex. Not sweet at all, on the contrary! Manly, yes! Classy and expensive smell, a piece of art from an italian more refined than french creators.
Bravo Versace!

Lighting the dark
A very complex fragrance. Unique and distinct. A masterpiece. It's termed horror, dark, ugly etc... Perhaps by the admirers of today's fragrances, when most fragrances resemble each other and excite your salivary glands instead of the olfactory nerves. For them, yes, surely, this sublime SDPH creation is like a thunder in the softness of the head. It requires the education of the olfactory sense, which once made this miracle of perfume can be appreciated at its true value.
This perfume is masculine in excellence, but it is not for today's effeminate males, but for mature, evolved, serious men and self contained. A perfume with sad notes, but not necessarily morbid. No resemblance to urinal Kouros (as some say), SDPH is patchoulic. He's hot in his heart, but with a cool upper dominance wrapping him up. It opens with a symphony of strong flavors, where the citrus, anise, salvia, basil and tarragon (I love tarragon!) feel, and slowly calm down, finally changing his personality with notes of patchouli, vanilla, resin and leather.
The performances are good, with 2-3 hours of force and sillage (on me). It then calms, remaining discreet, but present for up to 16 hours on the skin. Patchouli is his last twinge and feels fine even at 24 hours. A great fragrance for special souls.

Disgusting
I blind bought three oils: Naeem, Firdous and Black by Al Haramain. I tested them for a while and I must say that Firdous and Naeem are the most awfull perfumes I ever smellt.
Naeem has a disgusting/nauseous opening, but the late dry down is acceptable, spicy. But who has the time to wait the drydown? For compliance, I tested it on my skin, on paper and on clothes (small portions). No notable differences. Same emetic smell.
The worst blind buy I made for now. I wouldn't call Naeem and especially Firdous perfumes.

PS: can you explain why you deleted my first review? What is irrelevant? It's just my opinion.
