An Unique Scent Profile
Before I get started, I want to mention a few things:

1. I have 6 months of experience with the fragrance world by the time I'm writing this review.
2. I don't have the best nose for picking individual notes and the ones that I'm not familiar with.
3. The bottle that I have it's pretty old but the scent profile didn’t age very much, so take my experience with a grain of salt.

The Context

This is another fragrance that I got alongside the other Instituto Espanol fragrances, Essential by Lacoste and that bootleg of JPG Le Male Le Parfum. At first I thought this was too synthetic and aged badly but within a few months I started to like it more.

The Scent (Accords and Notes)

This is a spicy, citrus and synthetic fragrance. From the start I’m getting the mix of almost every note that is shown. In the heart I’m picking only the geranium and the leather but not so much and on the drydown I’m picking the vanilla and the amber. Overall I think this is a really good spicy but slightly bitter fragrance that also has an unique scent profile.

The Projection

I’m getting a moderate projection in the first 2 hours and in the drydown an intimate. So, compared to the other ones that I reviewed, this is really good. But compared to the fragrance market this is just average.

The Longevity

In total this is 4 hours, which is the average eau de toilette concentration.

The Bottle

The bottle, like the other ones that I have from Instituto Espanol, it’s pretty boring but the atomizer it’s surprisingly really good. I’m getting a good wide spay every time I use it.

The Perfumer

For this one, again, I don’t have a perfumer listed. But this scent profile I think it’s pretty unique and it reminds me of Meo Fusciuni and his collection. Each one has a unique story to tell through the olfactory senses. This fragrance it’s most likely sold for mass appeal, but I don’t know why but every time I smell it takes me to a Mediterranean Coast.

Conclusions

This is probably the experience that most of us, perfume lovers, had at one point. You check out a new fragrance that 's a bit out there and your first reaction it’s not a positive one. But after another few tries you start to understand how unique and great these scent profiles are actually. I think this is solid. The scent it’s not for everyday use but it gets me intrigued every time I wear it.

Thank you so much for reading my review! This is my first normal review. Without the fragrance being weak or aged up, although this one was in the same conditions as the rest of fragrances that I’ve reviewed so far. It’s now a bit boring but straight forward. Next, I will write about Poseidon Gold, the last Instituto Espanol fragrance from my collection and my favorite one easily.

Quite unspectacular, low performer
Why do you buy a fragrance that you have never smelled before, nor been recommended here in the forum or on any other platform?

The answer is quite simple. I was looking for a fragrance that brings dill in its composition and, since blind purchase, which is rather in the lower price range.

Why Dill? I think I noticed a fresh, pleasantly soft fragrance a long time ago, with a subtle dill note in the background. The fragrance has remained in my memory until today, but unfortunately neither the brand, nor the name. So it was a timid but failed attempt to get hold of something similar at the first attempt. This dill scent from that time had something attractive for me, something "I often want to smell" ... Unfortunately, even in the wild, no such scent has come under my nose ...

To the scent itself, which I am trying to evaluate here ... The hoped-for dill note, paired with freshness, was unfortunately denied to me. The performance in general is quite poor. Gentle freshness, I would grant the scent, otherwise it is quite quiet. It is still visible near the skin after 8 hours. He keeps his opening from my point of view the whole time. Development I have not been able to determine directly.

For just under 20€ and 150 ml EdT, if you need something inconspicuous for on the road, it's ok. But that's all...

Pity.
