Chocolate Greedy for cheap
As I've stated in the title, this is very close to Chocolate Greedy from Montale. Creamy sweetness, chocolate, caramel with biscuits, milk and cocoa. A great gourmand.
What surprised me was that as it dries down it's not getting worse.
On the contrary, it still shines and it's like it's getting even better.
Performance is very, very good.
10+ hours in my case with good sillage/projection. If you are a gourmand lover, you can't miss this one.
Overall : 9/10

Misleading
This one opens with a great tropical explosion of fruits. Very exotic, melon, bubble gum, strawberries, like a very nice refreshing cocktail.
As it dries down, it starts to smell more synthetic and harsh. At least in my case. Pretty decent for the price though. Around 6-7hrs longevity and decent sillage.
Delicious at first but changing along the way. Too bad that it's getting worse and not better.
As always, try it for yourself and see how it goes.

Connected with the greeness
Such a nice aroma this oil has. Very green, calming effect, fresh and lemony, minty. Green freshness.
This resembles Under the lemon trees, Maison Margiela and also it has something from Hermes - Un jardin sur le Nil. The price it's simply nothing compared to what it has to offer. Very nice quality for such a cheapie. Easy to travel with as well. Performance is decent, no beastly but acceptable.
Easy to layer with. Great deal !

Travel size freshness
As many of us might have guessed, this resembles creed aventus.
Fresh, zingy and pleasant. A lot more smokier, woodier and darker than current batches of aventus.
Not the same quality but very good for the price.
Very easy to have it with you anywhere but no need to reapply.
I am saying this because the overall longevity/projection are quite good.
At least 8hrs with a good sillage/projection. I might try to layer this with aventus.
This is a lot better than many of the current clones and for the price it's one of the best deals.
You should try this.

The dark emptiness
Another blind purchase yet another experience. Huge box, very hard bottle and decent atomizor.
On the strip, it has a looot more plum to my nose than Black Phantom that resembles with.
A lot more plum and a bit more syrupy. Maybe a bit boozier as well.
Not as refined at first but once it settles.. wow. Very similar to black phantom. Same caramelized coffee vibe with lots of rum and very balsamic to my nose.
Also creamy/powdery since we have that orris root in the middle.
Since I am not the biggest fan of rose I do like that the rose in here it's not that strong. Just to give a tiny bit floral hint.
Price ? Great. Very cheap most of the times (30-40 bucks)
Versatility ? Dressed up in my opinion. Not daily nor casual.
Being a sweet fragrance, colder seasons will suit better.
Performance ? 8+ hrs easily with a noticeable sillage. It can also be very potent or even annoying if you spray more than 3 times.
I would give an extra 8/10 regarding the quality/price ratio.
I was pleasantly surprised and I do enjoy to have a bottle of this.
As always, try it first.
