Cannabis monster?!
Let's face it - cannabis in one fragrance sounds quite exciting - mixed with other ingredients that I really love. When I was allowed to smell the scent for the first time in a perfumery, I was really impressed:
So my first impression: strong, dark but somehow also seductive - others here still say "mysterious", which is also quite true. However, I noticed directly that the cannabis is not so strong that it smells like a joint. That made it even more acceptable for me. However, it is quite noticeable on my skin, in a positive sense. It gives this great smell in my eyes a little more depth
I can only say the following about the performance: really, really good! I was especially surprised about that, because I have often read criticism about it. After 1-2 sprays in the morning at 8 o'clock, the scent can still be smelled at 10 o'clock in the evening - not hardly noticeable but quite reasonable. Ergo, 14-16 hours of durability on my skin are easily inside. Also the silage is convincing. Easily 5-6 hours the stuff is projected, so that really everybody noticed when I entered a room.
But that brings us to an important point: the situations in which this fragrance is wearable are, in my opinion, rather rare. Because for the office, the university etc. the whole thing is in my opinion nothing because of the strong silage. But this fragrance is perfect for going out in the evening or simply to attract attention.
Also about the 30ml/120€ I was worried at first. But since the fragrance lasts forever even with 1 sprayer, it still takes time until the wonderful looking bottle is empty
As the fragrance is rather special, so if you are interested, I would recommend, as always, to smell the fragrance in the perfumery of trust or to sample it - but in principle the fragrance is perfect and unique for me, so I would definitely recommend it!

Loud, sweet and even sweeter!
Well, starting with the scent itself. The pear, which you can perceive especially in the opening, is exactly my taste, because the fact that pear is in a perfume surprised me at first.
On my skin, especially the cinnamon comes over relatively strongly with time. The vanilla is also very noticeable, especially after 1 hour+. Personally I think that the whole thing is a pretty sweet brew, but the composition of all those ingredients convinced me - in short: I think that the fragrance smells really good!
In response to the question that is often discussed - also here in the commentary section - whether this is a men's fragrance at all and whether it is not too feminine, I would also like to say a few words and add my mustard: Yes, the fragrance is sweet, and yes, it is not the most masculine fragrance - so what? If someone likes it, then I don't think that is an obstacle. I also don't think it's too feminine for men and boys.
When you can wear the fragrance is already the much more complicated question. If you want to stand out, then you can wear it in winter in your everyday life, but in my opinion it is not suitable for summer. For a party scent it is optimal, even if it should not be reduced to that. In addition, I find that it is especially suitable for young people
About the performance: This is really ingenious with the Ultramale, I think. The scent lasts for 12 hours on my skin and projects like a beast. That makes sure that I have been spoken to about this scent many times before. Several times I got reactions that have something to do with the cinnamon smell, which confirms once again that this relative seems to be strong. However, the feedback was always positive - I have never been told something like "you smell like a woman" or something like that
Even if it is certainly not the cheapest designer fragrance, it is in my opinion worth a purchase or at least a sample - in any case, I wouldn't want to miss it in my collection!

My first fragrance - and what a fragrance!
I love the fragrance first of all because it was my first fragrance that I owned myself - so I can associate many memories and moments with it.
But not only does it have a rather idealistic value for me. I also find the fragrance itself convincing. Although I don't think that only teenagers can wear it, I would say that the main target group for this fragrance is younger people.
This is (I think) because this incredibly sweet and loud scent DNA is especially suitable for club and party situations (although it might be a little louder for this). But because it is fresh on my skin at least here and there, it is also wearable on moderate summer days, even if you should not spray it over then.
What makes this fragrance so special to many is that it seems to be quite suitable for the masses. Because the reaction to the scent, as far as I got one, was consistently positive. Both from older and younger people, both women and men
Performance and silliage are good on my skin, especially he projects really well for me. During the performance I always got about 7-8 hours, which I think is ok
So in principle I would recommend the fragrance - even for people over 20 years of age! However, I've since tended to say that I think Gaultier's Ultramale is the better club & party scent because it doesn't last any longer

First impressions can be deceptive!
Well, I'll start at the beginning: when I smelled him for the first time on the tester strip in my trusted perfumery "Vollmar" in Bonn, I wanted to leave the shop screaming - that wasn't mine at all!
Well, anyway - I then applied the fragrance to my skin and went back to the perfumery a day later - with the firm conviction to buy the fragrance. Because the longer the fragrance was on my skin, the more I liked it. Today it is one of my favourite scents and I wouldn't want to miss it in my collection anymore!
About the fragrance: even though I don't find the idea terribly innovative, I liked the composition. The tobacco is slightly sweet (though not too sweet) and not too dirty in my eyes - more about that later. I also find that the scent at least on my skin - with all its ingredients - simply harmonizes well together. However, the scent is rather linear.
The performance is very good. Both the projection on my skin is very convincing, and the durability with often up to 14 hours (or more!) convinced me.
The reactions were mixed: some said I smelled like an ashtray, others found my scent a pleasant, warm, comforting masculine tobacco scent. So you should be aware of the fact that you can be offensive.
All in all, I learned to love him. In any case, this fragrance is nothing for a blind purchase, both because of the price Tom Ford is charging for his PB fragrances and because of the idiosyncratic scent. So my recommendation is to test the scent for a whole day and then decide whether it is something or not - the first impression can be deceptive, as so often!

Nice smell, but watch out!
Like some others I ordered this fragrance after many good reviews and an incredibly low price - actually I try to avoid blind purchases...
The first time I applied it, it made quite an impression on me. Which means that I find the fragrance itself really nice. The rum and the leather, somehow it just fits. But: it's very intense and at least I quickly become odour-blind - which of course doesn't mean that others don't have to smell it anymore.
In terms of performance is impressive both in terms of projection and durability - especially when you consider the price. On my skin it easily lasts 12 hours and projects meters - sometimes too much of a good thing. When you walk into a room, you'll get noticed.
In summer (when I am around people) I would completely avoid the scent, in winter 2-3 sprays are enough in my eyes. All beyond that only makes enemies...
In summary, I would say that it makes sense, if possible, to sample the scent. If you already have several leather scents (smelled) and like alcoholic notes, I think it would be worth a blind buy at that price. Despite my criticism, I still don't regret the purchase!
