Foreword:
If you like "L'Eau d'Issey pour Homme (Eau de Toilette) | Issey Miyake", you should check this one out. They are two completely different fragrances, but they have a few similarities and I think anyone who likes Issey will also find this one interesting.

Tropical fruits with floral purple nuances and a tart-sweet note dominate, whereby the coconut is barely perceptible. All in all, it's quite a jumble, but it works well. The sweet note in particular, which is combined with the tartness, sets it apart from other summer fragrances. The vanilla and tonka bean give it a hint of the Versace Eros vibe, although the two fragrances are of course different. While that rather bothered me with Eros, it gives this scent a special touch and rounds things off. Somehow dry, but also sparkling. Although it doesn't smell of the highest quality ingredients and doesn't reinvent the wheel, it offers a beautiful fragrance that goes its own way. No attempt has been made to create the most mass-market freshie for everyone. JPG Le Beau goes in that direction, but I wouldn't call it a clone, as you could have hit it even closer if you really wanted to. The longevity isn't particularly impressive and it's obviously not the new "Afternoon Swim | Louis Vuitton" either. But for the €9 I just paid in the sale, I'll shut my mouth. It can join the ranks of summer fragrances for 30-50 €, could also be a Zara fragrance in terms of craftsmanship. Some will love it, others less so, as is the case with summer fragrances. I wouldn't spend €50 on it, but for €9 in the sale it's baba. Suitable for the beach, outdoor pool and midsummer etc.

A fairly linear fragrance that doesn't need any gimmicks. It's slightly penetrating and disgusting at first, but I'm generally not averse to it. If you want to annoy and provoke people, you've found the right fragrance here. And finally a Rammstein fragrance that smells like Rammstein and also has power, or let's put it this way, is not completely without power. I can't even describe the fragrance, it's a bit like gasoline, lubricating oil and garage. Add some penetrating notes and that's it. It's unwearable at first, but later, when it wears off, it gets better and better, but realistically it's still not really wearable, but that's a matter of taste. It does have something interesting about it, and as it progresses, it becomes more "crowd-pleasing", but whether it's something that others want to smell, I don't think so, but that's not what perfume is primarily about. I just don't want to stink people up either. Unisex? Of course you wonder what a woman wearing such a perfume looks like :D, I don't even want to imagine that #nohate. But even as a man, it's more of a "troll fragrance" for a concert or a theme night. Anyone who goes on a date, to dinner, to work or to the doctor like that is confused anyway. Yes, I'm glad that Rammstein have dared to do something that suits their band. Even if I would never wear it, I like the scent. And since I love the smell of gasoline, I'm also a little annoyed that we didn't go more in the direction of gasoline here, without that other flourish. But that's wishful thinking.

So, if you fancy something a bit wacky in this direction, feel free to give it a try. For the "normalo" it's a waste of time.

Opening:
- Starts citrus-fresh with a hint of blood orange and some bitter peel, lots of orange
- Slightly reminiscent of orange soda
- Not clear and bright, but rather heavy and sweet
- A fragrance for the summer

Progression:
- After a few minutes, it resembles the dark Nimm-2 lollipop, or rather the filling. after that, the fragrance smells very intense
- As it progresses, however, the candy smell diminishes somewhat, but remains present as DNA
- Floral influences in the direction of rose are mixed in
- The sillage could be a little better, as could the longevity

Conclusion:
A successful unisex summer fragrance that stands out from the crowd, but is also not extremely special. Almost too expensive for me at €39. For €19, this would be a cool fragrance. For €39, you have to love this DNA and be looking for it or be a Rammstein fan, otherwise there are simply better citrus fragrances in my eyes. Especially for men, this is somehow only of limited use. What man wants to smell like a Nimm 2 candy when there are so many other great summer alternatives? But the fragrance is by no means bad, although it would be better suited to women, even though it works well on the beach or at the outdoor pool, especially because it becomes calmer as it progresses.

First of all, probably the best cheap Gymscent/summer fragrance that is not a clone. And for me the best of the mixed Antonio Banderas range, an insider tip. Price-performance is unbeatable, performance and quality are good for a freshie in this price range. It could easily cost €60 and run under a designer brand.

Now to the fragrance:
Opening with a sharp, citrusy freshness, dominated by green apple. Later, the lavender joins the cart, but sits quietly in the back seat. A not too strong sweetness and something woody also join in, but it remains rather fruity and green. All in all, nothing new or earth-shattering, but an uncomplicated summer fragrance that stands out from the cheap standard and doesn't have to hide from anyone. Everything is well balanced and quite smooth. Gymscent and Komplimentgetter is a pretty good description. But a white T-shirt and a beer are also a great match. The fragrance's versatility is worth emphasizing, whether for sports, dates, work, in a fat Benz or at the job center. Banderas is attractive everywhere and is reminiscent of a sports car, perfect for someone looking for an affordable all-rounder for the summer, a nice 'casual'. The direction is slightly 'Legend (Eau de Parfum) | Montblanc', although they do differ. And although I would rather say summer fragrance, it also fits well in spring or warmer fall. It's a fragrance like 'Voyage (Eau de Toilette) | Nautica', you can add it to your shopping cart for a few euros the next time you shop online and you can't really do much wrong. The perfect cheap no-brainer between Xerjoff and Roja that you can simply take with you to the lake or the swimming pool, but not one that attracts all the attention in the room. In South America it is at least somewhat well-known, in Europe it swims completely under the radar. I don't think the men's world here thinks it's so great when their perfume is called David Beckham or Enrique Iglesias or Til Schweiger, for example, which I also find off-putting. What grown man wants to wear the new Christiano Ronaldo? Long story short: I know it's weird to get the new 'Lionel Messi' or Jerome Boateng fragrance, but you should add the "Power of Seduction | Banderas" to your shopping cart if you're looking for a cheap no-brainer for in between or if you're trying to reach the minimum order value.

A great apple scent with a beautiful, non-intrusive sweetness glides over a citrus-fresh floral bed. Spicy and woody, but still fresh and fruity. The direction is oriental, but a gentle variant, and something gourmand also resonates slightly. And although it goes in all these directions, which can quickly make a fragrance heavy and oppressive, it remains light, fluffy and uncomplicated. Beautifully rounded, with a great balance. Nothing seems annoying or out of control. It is more friendly than overpowering, which makes it a good all-rounder. It is also a good introduction for people who want to try out oriental fragrances. I even really like the fact that it doesn't have quite as much vanilla as its relative. Everything is wonderfully "flavored". Top fragrance, good product. Recommended, you can do it.
