At first, it bears a strong resemblance to Le Male by J.P. Gaultier, then it drifts quite close to 212 VIP by Carolina Herrera.

To me, it smells like a bright, spiced amber with cinnamon and a citrus note that stands out initially before softening, though it never fully fades. It’s an excellent scent, very similar to Meharées for me, albeit slightly more synthetic. The longevity is very good and the projection is moderate. I think it’s perfect for cooler weather, yet it doesn’t fail in summer either. The quality-to-price ratio is top-notch.
The cologne that dictator Leonidas Trujillo used to wear.
