The best custom suit
Elegant, very masculine, with presence, mature and attractive. This is Black from Puredistance, a perfume that cries out a good clothing, a strong character and a formal, romantic or class event.

A scent as few have smelled, I repeat, extremely attractive and masculine, very very mature, leaving a wake noticeable to each movement, neither much nor little, perfect, giving it a mysterious and dark tone that invites you to get closer.

Incredible, 5 stars, another level.

A walk along the coast in a bottle
I have lived all my life in a coastal town, I have to say that Sel Marin is very close to that characteristic smell. It is approaching 75-80% (to put an approximate percentage), which obviously does a more "accessible" smell, since the exact sea is not of everyone's taste.

In any case, of the marine fragrances that I have tried to date, this is the closest to a walk along the beach, the notes are perceived in a very natural way, nothing synthetic and above all, nothing invasive, which is especially appreciated With the seaweed note, known for having a certain point and drying as "fish" if it is strong, as is the case to many people with Aqva Bvlgari or his little sister Marine.

All this with the extremely pleasant output citrus. And be careful, do not think it is like other fragrances of style, something sweet, at all, it perfectly maintains the salty touch that defines it as what it is, a smell of one day on the beach.

Of projection in my skin 1 meter or so the first hours, of approximately 6-7 hours.

Very happy with this perfume that of course will be one of my favorites in summer.

The 80's inside a bottle.
"KOUROS" ... images of past times in my mind. Top? In many aspects, yes, without a doubt.

1981 was his launch year, his perfumer Pierre Bourdon created a masterpiece that, without fear of mistaken, marked a time and was the queen with a capital letters, far away, far from the rest. Moreover, they have not yet managed to get it off the throne of it.

The 80's, time of straight and wide jeans with a large lap in the low, shoulder pads, great ties illustrated, worn leather jackets, stamped shirts, t-shirts with colorful geometric figures, well high white socks and visible to play sports. Time where a blow or scar was a war mark from which to feel proud.

In the musical, for me, his best moment. Start of electronic music inspired by the Disco of mid-70, the Hard Rock with Guns n'Roses or Bon Jovi, Heavy Metal and Iron Maiden, Judas Priest or Metallica and how not to mention Madonna and Michael Jackson, the best Pop.

And what about cinema? Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Gray in "Dirty Dancing", Michael J. Fox with "Back to The Future", Bastian trying to avoid the destruction of the kingdom of fantasy in "The Neverending Story" or Harrison Ford in a "Blade Runner" that curiously It places in 2019 very distant to what was later.

In the perfumistic section we find ourselves, too, in a golden age. When with four atomizations you could fill a room, leave your smell in the elevator, leaving this step and endure until the end of the day.

KOUROS is all that and much more inside a bottle. A fragrance that tries to exalt the true masculinity, one that differs totally from the current one (in my opinion "androgenized"). It is cleaning, much, soap touches seasoned from herbal / floral and animals tones, the latter especially present at their departure and throughout the first hour.

There are no average terms with her, beloved fragrance or hated. Although I have to say that in my circle, without saying what I have been and already in the dry drying a couple of hours, I have received on several occasions a "good smells". So that of "hated" I have not lived yet. Its overall performance is 10 even today with reformulation, although I am lucky to have a vintage version and that is already crazy.

Yes, it is a polarizing fragrance, from start to finish. It does not pretend to like everyone and it is not necessary to make it, it makes a time, personality and draws attention, with that enough.

Masterpiece, the 80's inside a bottle.

How to spoil another perfume...
Le Beau Le Parfum Intense, these are my first impressions...

Like eau de toilette, with that tropical touch, although lowered, with the coconut less marked and with other notes accompanying, such as pineapple or subdued woods especially noticeable in the drying.

The bad part (for me) and the reason why I have almost automatically discarded it, is the tonka bean. F** mania of the brands in loading their current perfumes with this stinging note.

What do we get out of it? Turn what could have been a denser tropical fragrance, with more body, perceptible nuances, evolution and "fine", into something "rough", dominated by an excessive sweetness, strident, a global something repetitive, trite, disco and typical of a teenage and noisy age group, like Scandal (never better said).

The drying after about 3 hours is more pleasant and bearable with that woody / amber base, where sandalwood is well appreciated, perhaps what it should have been from the beginning (personal taste) and avoid that amount of tonka bean so sharp that, far from improving, covers everything else.

I stay, by far, with his sister eau de toilette, who did not invent anything new, which yes, is also sweet, but certainly does not make you diabetic after using it.

In any case, if you like very sweet, fruity / woody perfumes with that type of profile, try it

Essenza? I'm not sure, but I like it!
Same base as the original, although somewhat more intense, with citrus fruits without being dominant, going in the wake of the protagonist notes, the aquatic.

When it begins to settle on skin, you can perceive green and slightly woody leaves that I personally like and a lot. Similarly, the overall computation feels like light, "airy", fresh, like a summer and sea breeze on my face (I wouldn't know how to describe it)

It is added some metallic and cold background, probably due to the mixture of lavender and geranium.

It is very likely that we will find ourselves before Essenza's substitute, but we still have to do more tests.

For me it's Essenza + original + Profondo.

After 7 exact hours, it is still there but flush with the skin.
