Stamatios

I bought this as a promo package with Zara ''Strollinng Over Heaven''(both are Dior's alternatives) in the distant past,before corona virus(it's only one year why I feel that are five?) from a Zara store in Piraeus Greece. When I returned home my nephew visited me,so I decided to unbox and test them with him.
As I remember our first impressions were good,but as I had also bought from the cave a ''Nikka from the barrel''(an excellent well balanced Japanese whiskey) you know...we forgot them.Next day my nephew called me to remind him the names of the fragrances,because one of them remained all night into his skin and he liked so much but he could not remember which one it was that.So I told him to visit me to test them again(we had also the rest of the Nikka bottle...).After all he decided that he liked more the Ice Walk,so I gifted and I kept the SOH for me (i have posted a statement) .
Now ,why I am writting all of these?Everytime I visit him and wears the Ice Walk i do the same mistake.I asked him ''What is the scent you wear?It suits you and has a good sillage.''You know the answer.The problem is that after a year the bottle is almost gone and he can't find another one.
Talking about the scent is not something so extraordinary but is decent and works well,better in my nephew than me(he is more light-skinned than me and younger of course).Is very fresh,flowery,a little bit sweet and les citrusy and spicy.Sillage was a surprice for me as I noticed in my nephew.As I paid 14 euros for both,it is sure a bargain.
I remembered this litle story because the smaller perfume stores are opened again(Zara's stores remain closed yet) and I am ready to visit one again after so many months for a click away.i have ordered a ''Jacomo de Jacomo Deep Blue'' ,''Joop! Homme'' (i was refusing for so many years to buy it) and a tester of ''1881 pour Homme Cerruti''.I will write my coments soon.
Be healthy and keep digging for nice scents.

I agree with Mr Honest.This fragrance is very similar to Invicuts Aqua 2018.The opening is very fresh aquatic,flowery and minimus citrus,but in the end it is the violet leaf accords that prevail.Patchouli notes are not very noticeable.In my opinion is a simple linear and synthetic scent,but this is not too bad for me.
It is a very fresh and easy to wear scent that gives you some nice summery and marine vibes compatible with the hot weather.
Longevity and sillage are average but for the price is really fine.
The bottle ,plastic blind to glass,hmm...no comment.

If you are looking for an economical alternative option for Dior's Fahrenheit with less petrol vibes,here you are.This is a 4 seazon ,versatile and easy to wear fragrance without being too loudly.Of course there are many similarities with Dior's Fahrenheit but the scent has also it's own character.It is fresh, sweet,flowery ,less spicy and during the dry turns to gentle soapy.This is the reason I said that it is an alternative and not a clone.
It opens with sweet mandarin,artemisia and strong resin notes and continues with nice violet and a drop of mixed ginger and nutmeg to create some light petrol vibes.I could also recognise a few vetιver and grass accords but not the cypress.After an hour there is no petrol but a pleasant sweet soapy and a less spicy-woody mix.
Longevity and sillage are moderate but the price is very affordable(about12-16 euros).I like very much the simple black flask but not the golden cap.In my opinion it is a safe buy.

Here we have the first men fragrance from Korres brand from Greece.Korres is a brand who use votanic ingredients in their cosmetics.I am big fan of the shower gels because they are very cheap for their quality (my favourites are the citron,vanilla-cinamon,ginger-lemon and the yogurt).
But here we have also another clone of YSL La Nuit (in my opinion) and a scent very similar with Puma Push the Heat and Zara Strolling Over Heaven ( I have written statements for both of them) and it is possible with many others.Let's make it clear La Nuit is only one ,the original,although I can not ignore
so many similarities and the price,
Now,Korres VGC is basically a linear sweet,flowery and less spicy-woody scent.I recognize the lavender,the cardamon,and the cedarwood and less bergamot,vetiver and amber.I can't capture any tea and oakmoss notes.Longevity and sillage are very weak.You could use it as an eau de cologne and definitely not as a perfume..It is a daily,versatile fragrance for all seasons excluding the very hot days
.If I had to compare it with the other two aforementioned fragrances I would say that the scents are very similar after 10 minutes of the spray.Korres is slightly sweeter and Zara a bit more dry.Puma has better longevity and Zarra is the cheaper but Korres is phthalates and compound free(as it's written in the flask).
So if you are looking for an alternative and budjet YSL LN τhe choise is yours.

As you obviously could realise this is the summery version of Jean Paul Gaultier Le Mâle.For a strange reason many years ago I had grabbed three(!) flasks of this(probably I was living the last three days of the world and I did n't know what to do with my money).Even better I had unboxed all of them and recently I was informed that these flasks are collectible with a remarkable price,but as all of them are used ,I would n't have any possbility to sell at least one of them.LOL!
Anyway, after all I feel experrienced enough to leave a comment for the scent.Of course is very similar with classic JPG LM but weaker in longevity and sillage and less complex.In my opinion it could be a four season fragrance (not only for the summer) for several occasions excluding sports and the very cold days.It is a sweet,fresh and less powderly and woody scent.The prevailing notes are levander and musk followed by fine vanilla and sandalwood.Grass is minimal. The bottle is funky and I like it.
TIP : If you are interested for the fragrance and you can not find it,just buy the Ford Mustang Perfomance EDT.It is quite similar in a ridiculous price(check my review for Ford M P )
