I mainly smell lavender and suede, nothing else. As it dries down, it smells like graphite, like the lead in a pencil. Overall it’s good, with a trail of an hour and lasting six to eight hours depending on the skin. It was a pleasant surprise, but I wouldn’t repurchase because it can become tiring, especially for daily office wear, although it worked best there. It’s discreet, unpretentious and most people like it. Buy only if it’s cheap and wait a while before purchasing again.

Original Blend Penguin is fresh, citrusy with an amber touch. It starts fruity and soon turns semi-sweet and musky. It’s simple and pleasant, but not passionate or addictive; the scent is almost the same at the start as it is at the end. It’s versatile for any informal occasion, school or sport. Lasted a bit over six hours with little projection. Ideal for those just starting to buy perfumes, young people or teenagers, because it doesn’t bother anyone.

It seems to play with musk and lavender, but not in the exaggerated style of Narciso Rodríguez nor as wild as Diesel. It works the musk naturally, as if it were a common note (even though it isn’t). I’m not a huge fan of musk, but it’s pleasant. Ideal for temperate or cold climates.

Smells good, clean and fresh. At first I thought it was Boucheron Pour Homme, but that apple and amber note change it quickly, bringing it closer to Hugo Boss, though it doesn’t last or project as much. I’d give it 6/10. It works brilliantly at the gym.

When opening a bottle of wine or must and smelling the cork, this fragrance smells just like that.
