So I’ve had this for about 6 months now, and I keep trying to wear it here and there.
At first I didn’t really notice this issue, but over time it gets harder and harder to wear. After one spray I instantly get a headache, because of how synthetic it smells.
Now don’t get me wrong, most parts of it smells great! I get those citrus fresh fruity notes, but after a little bit I feel that it starts to smell very fake, almost feels that it comes off offending with how synthetic it smells even with one spray.
Not to mention this bottle (well at least mine, pretty sure it’s broken or something) has to be kept upright because it leaks, and when it leaks you of course want to dry it off because it’s all oily and that tears off the fur on the bottle. I know the newer models, or at least some of the testers I’ve seen in stores don’t have the fur anymore but you’ll see what I mean in the photo. You can also see in the photo how oily it gets near the atomizer, not to mention I wiped it down 10 minutes prior to this.
At the end of the day, I think there’s a lot better colognes out there, if you want a nice citrus go with creed Delphinus, doesn’t smell the same but you’ll save yourself and others the headache, literally.
Summer time beast. It’s opens to a bright, realistic, orange citrus then dries down to a subtle musky/ambergris base.
Smells identical to LV Afternoon Swim with easily 8+ hours of longevity and decent silage. 9/10
This is my go-to for my daily running. It’s a very beautiful and sweet fragrance that has a moderate projection. I highly recommend.
This fragrance has very beautiful woody scent. It is usually not my daily kinda fragrance but I enjoy perceiving it on my husband.
Shipping was very fast as alway! Unfortunately this scent isn’t what I expected, it is very sweet and doesn’t last as long as I expected. I would still wear this as a summer scent but wouldn’t go for this scent again.
Always enjoy purchasing from this site, price is amazing and shipping is fast! This perfume I love so much, a good everyday vanilla almond scent that I think can be used all seasons.
* Very good fruit/aromatic fougere hybrid fragrance
* Good blend of fruit, lavender, herbal, woody and patchouli musk aromas
* Refreshing modern take on an aromatic fougere
* Lavender note is uplifting
* Versatile; works in formal and social occasions
* Great for warmer weather
* Cool bottle presentation
* Great price for a designer fragrance
* Average performer
* Fruit forward opening might lean too feminine for some male users
Jesus del Pozo's Halloween Man Mystery isn't actually really much of a mystery. It's a solid modern take on an aromatic fougere that adds in fruit and wood ntes and a very strong and refreshing lavender. It's similar to fellow flanker Halloween Man X, with the major different being that X adds a dark roasted coffee note on the drydown. Mystery really lets its lavender shine on the drydown, resulting in a refreshing and uplifting fragrance. Overall it's a very good blend of fruit, lavender, herbal, woody and patchouli musk aromas.
This is versatile enough to be used in both serious and social occasions. It's great for warmer weather, has a cool black bottle presentation, and comes at a great price for a designer fragrance. The fruit forward opening might lean too feminine for some male users, though there are plenty of fragrances that are a lot fruitier and are perfectly acceptable for men to use. Up to your individual taste. Do note that performance is average, so be prepared to overspray and respray throughout the day. Recommended.
* Very nice dark coffee fragrance with spicy and fougere touches
* Strong dark roasted coffee note
* Complex blend of spicy, lavender, coffee, booze and vanilla notes
* Great for gourmand lovers
* Unisex
* Good for all ages
* Versatile; works in both formal and social occasions and environments
* Great price for a designer fragrance
* Stylish presentation
* Average performer
* Lavender note might not appeal to some
* Major competition from the Fragrance World Coffee Collection line
* Lots of similar gourmand competitors on the market
Jesus del Pozo's Halloween Man X is a flanker in the successful Halloween line of fragrances. Man X is their biggest success, a coffee forward gourmand fragrance that had very few if any peers up until recently. This is coffee forward with lots of spice and a bit of an aromatic fougere touch. This is a good and complex blend of coffee, spices, lavender, booze and vanilla aromas. The lavender is quite prominent in the opening and the coffee dominates the drydown. It's a very dark roasted coffee note.
This is great for gourmand lovers and was a runaway hit for years with little competition.That has now changed with the release of the Fragrance World Coffee Collection line, but there are other competitors in the market as well including the Polo Red and Black lines and the Salvatore Ferragamo Uomo lines. And of course there's a ton of gourmand fragrances available as well. Still, I have many of them and none have the dark roasted coffee note that Man X has.
This is unisex and good for all ages. It's serious enough for formal occasions and appealing enough for more social events. The price is just great for a designer fragrance. The lavender note may not be appealing to those looking for a strictly gourmand fragrance, but it does make this stand out more. Performance is average, so be prepared to overspray on first application and respray occasionally throughout the day. Bottle presentation is stylish, which you'd expect from the late fashion designer. Recommended.
Livraison hyper rapide. Je suis très satisfait de mon achat
I didn't know what to expect. It's supposed to be a dupe for Good Girl Gone Bad, but I never tried the og. I'm hoping it will macerate and be more rounded, right now it's a bit sharp. Longevity is not bad, but not as good as on my other Lattafa perfumes. Again, may be maceration will improve it.
The perfume is quite nice. I was surprised at the colour, it's not blue but dirty brown. I read about that and apparently it is not uncommon. Some say it's vanilla that turns brown and gives that hue. Although, many other vanila scents I own are not brown. It doesn't small bad, so I guess it's alright.
It's very close to the original formula. I own an old bottle and they compare really well. I wish longevity was better, this one is 3-4 hours.
This perfume is a versatile unisex and captivating. If you wanna receive compliments go for this fragrance. It has a classic , sophisticated scent and projection. Please add it to your collection.
This is a beautiful summer fruity Fragrance. The opening of this perfume instantly gives you a pleasant scent. I love this perfume. Its last long on the skin and my absolute fave. Need no further explanation this fragrance is a must have
The scent is so delicate that it is so hard to perceive it at first. But the vanilla sweetness and the santalwood approach makes it a subtle dose of freshness when you just fell like being in your bubble with less social interaction.
not the first time for me with this one but i just love it, smells exactly the same as the one i got a year ago. i got the tester but surprisingly, it came with the box AND the cap so i'm definitely happy about that, what else can i say it's a really great fragrance, lasts long and projects moderately, a lot of warm cinnamon in it so great for fall and winter, still pulled it off last summer without any headache, although it projects a whole lot more when you're sweating. also a big thanks to the support team, great service, i won't stpp buying from you that's a sure thing.
that's a great summer freshie, really good quality/price ratio, surprisingly doesn't smell synthetic at all to me. it's a fruity citrusy one but mostly fruity, don't get the aquatic too much but it's a good one. only reason i'm giving it 4 stars is the longevity, doesn't last too long, i'll see how it goes when summer gets here, if it still doesn't last long i'll just put moisturizing cream.
that's a really great winter fragrance. don't think you can beat the quality/price on this one, lasts really long (at least 10 hours on my skin, projects a lot (no more than 5 sprays needed on this). also, don't think you can pull this off in the summer or if you live in a warm climate, you'll give everyone a headache including yourself lol.
Wonderful long lasting (over a day) gourmand sweet smelling scent. Smells like a dessert in a bottle, very close to Althair, can't tell them apart side by side.
* Unique floral/oud/aromatic fougere hybrid
* Excellent use of oakmoss note
* Good blend of floral, powdery, herbal, patchouli musk and light oud aromas
* Good take on the classic Middle Eastern rose and oud combo
* Addition of oakmoss note makes this very unique for a Middle Eastern style fragrance
* Unisex
* Not good for younger users
* Good performer
* Excellent price
* Polarizing combination for some noses
* Only for confident wearers
* Oud note may be too weak for oud lovers
* Not good for those who find aromatic fougeres too old fashioned
* Not good for younger users
Lattafa's Oud Mood Reminiscence or Oud Mood Silver if you prefer is a unique and possibly very polarizing fragrance. It combines elements of the floral, oud and aromatic fougere fragrance DNAs. It's a nice blend of floral, powdery, herbal, patchouli musk and light oud aromas.
The biggest surprise is how light the actual oud note is and how strong the rose and oakmoss notes are in comparison. There is a definite oud note here but it is not the dominant one. It may even be too light for oud lovers. This is a very good twist on the classic Middle Eastern combo of oud and rose, but that doesn't make it any less polarizing a scent. Some may find the fougere characteristics too old fashioned and oud is always going to offend some noses. It takes a confident wearer to use this.
Those that do use it will be rewarded with good performance, an excellent price point, and a unique fragrance. Recommended.
Decent price, great projection and longevity
