Lavender, Cinnamon, Cardamom
Here now another review, which hopefully helps you to complete your impressions something. Today about the quite cheap fragrance Halloween Man X.
Flacon:
Absolutely nothing special. Quite clunky and without any real special features, the bottle looks pretty unspectacular and stands out in my collection rather by its spartan inconspicuousness.
Visually not exactly an eye-catcher.
Fragrance:
At the beginning I was a little surprised (blind purchase as a cheap appendage) how intense the top note opens and in particular the strong lavender note stands out. An ethereal, strong deep sweetness the mMn. by cinnamon and lemon still strengthened and balanced by the spicy cardamom is accompanied.
Through the heart and base notes I expected something more warmth but from whiskey and coffee I perceive (unfortunately) not very much. So for me, the fragrance consists more of the top note, which at most still dominates the fragrance with the incense until the end.
I could imagine the fragrance because of the somewhat too synthetic sweetness only difficult on older, serious gentlemen and must say to me the fragrance is a little too unbalanced / too simple. He already has what and is not bad but just not one hundred percent my thing. However, he has rightly gained a certain notoriety, because the performance is for this price range but very respectable. Who has a liking for sweet lavender scents, could come here at his expense.
Durability / Sillage:
Here the fragrance gives a perfectly reasonable role.
Holds on my skin well and gladly up to 8 hours through, while he at the beginning almost a little too energetically rushes into the nose and then gradually reduces in intensity.
Sillage is quite strong at the beginning and also in general I would say above average.
I hope I could offer you a little added value with my personal assessment and would be very happy about comments of course :)

A worthy impersonator?
Who comes across "Craze" from the house of Armaf, which has certainly previously made acquaintance with the winged horse and is now looking for a worthy representative.
Flacon:
After I Layton may already call my own and not directly on it again the handsome price of a PdM perfume wanted to spend so I looked around for a cheaper alternative. And lo and behold, after a short time I came across this admittedly rather dull, purposeful-looking bottle called Craze. It doesn't really make you look forward to pulling off this oversized plastic cap that adorns the nevertheless above average spray head. The good will with the leather belt around the bottle is well noted. But the haptics / optics is certainly also not (or even less) the main focus if you get yourself an obvious clone.
Fragrance:
Since my sample Pegasus still provided enough content to make extensive comparisons, this was my first mission after I held the new Craze in my hands. So a sprayer left, another sprayer right and again Probegeschnüffelt.
The scent is definitely very similar, but seems in the opening noticeably more synthetic than the original.
This is forgiven him, however, because after a few moments he adapts to his big brother virtually at a gallop and now has only a few but still easily perceptible differences.
Craze seems a tad more synthetic and a bit more tart than the French competitor. My layman's nose suggests to me a little more bitterness which possibly stems from a stronger emphasis on almond. With the Craze, I also detect a hint of corrugated cardboard boxes or a new book. Just additionally this herb-nutty, slightly bitter. Don't misunderstand, the two are really confusingly similar. The differences are relatively subtle but perceptible.
Longevity/Sillage:
is with me after 12 hours on the skin still perceptible and surpasses the original thus in terms of durability.
Sillage is definitely above average. The scent is not only perceived when passing or closer contact, which is why you should not umbedingt fog from head to toe with the good drop. I use only 1 to 2 sprayers.
Conclusion: The fragrance is excellent and almost identical to Pegasus. I would definitely recommend it, although the original is a nose ahead. (Sorry this was more of a comparison than a standalone review but I guess the majority end up here after all mainly because they know Pegasus or are looking for a replacement)
