Super intense, sweet and dark perfume, perfect for wearing a black shirt and going out to conquer the night.
Gastonhee
Smells almost identical to One Million.

A lady from a local perfumery recommended it based on my tastes; the scent and the opening were so lovely that I bought it without knowing its longevity. It turned out to be incredibly addictive and sexy, ideal for cold weather, dates, and evening wear. I bought the 30ml version and now I want the 100ml. Update: I found it at a great price today and they offered me the cheapest tester, something that never happened to me before, so I took the deal. I compared it on the spot with Halloween Man and One Million, and later, once dry, Halloween beats One, but Addiction beats Halloween. One smells very different and Addiction is much richer. Halloween is about 70% similar, but Addiction is more potent, creamy, spicy, and has a very subtle smoky touch, perhaps due to the leather note. As delicious as I remembered, it’s like Halloween but amplified, you can tell. The quality for the price is spectacular, just like Halloween. Also, I prefer it dry rather than fresh; it settles beautifully on my skin.

Excellent composition. Intense close to the skin but not invasive, sophisticated and sometimes unisex.

Total surprise, nothing generic, doesn’t remind me of any designer. Citrus opening with subtle cinnamon, then fresh leather straight from the tannery, acidic but dominant. No amber or rose, that tanned leather gives it an impossible virility. It’s unique in scent, price, and originality, a punch to leather fragrances that triple the price. With three sprays I have arm’s-length projection for three hours. Batch 133HK1, deserves a chance, it’s tough and elegant at the same time.

Excellent for autumn in the southern hemisphere. Exquisite aroma, on my skin it lasts at least 6 hours with good sillage. The price is ridiculously low, I bought it blind and loved it. I’ll be using it in the office.

Excellent perfume for the Southern Hemisphere autumn. Exquisite aroma; on my skin it has a longevity of at least six hours with a good trail. The price? Ridiculously low. I bought it blind and loved it. I’ll use it for the office.

Total surprise: nothing generic, it doesn’t remind me of any designer perfume. Citrus opening with a hint of cinnamon that lingers subtly throughout the development. Fresh leather straight from the tannery, slightly acidic but very present and prominent. No amber, a rose that in one drying phase tries to lean towards unisex, but with that cured leather, it’s impossible to remove its masculinity. I believe it is a totally unique fragrance in terms of scent, quality-price ratio, and originality. A slap in the face to several leather fragrances that triple its price. With three sprays, I get a projection of more than an arm’s length for three hours or more. Batch 133HK1. It deserves a try, a rough yet elegant perfume.

This will be my next perfume.

Very good for its price.
Juantico
Reminds me of Halloween, very pleasant aroma at a very low price. Worth it. The only thing is that the fixative and longevity aren’t the best, but for the price it’s enough. A safe blind buy.

It reminds me of Halloween. Very pleasant aroma at a very low price. Worth it. The only thing that could be criticised is the projection and longevity, but it is sufficient for the price. A safe blind buy.

A total gem, it smells exactly like Carolina Herrera 212 Sexy Men, that scented shirt and slight sweat note is pure magic. It’s going to become my go-to for going out at night, with an enveloping quality that leaves a trail and makes people notice you wherever you go. It’s exquisite, striking, and lasts over 12 hours on skin and clothes, with a sillage of two metres that has everyone asking what you’re wearing. Unbeatable quality-to-price ratio, a 2020 find I missed out on that I recommend 100%.

I bought it blind and it was a pleasant surprise. It smells great, has a very accessible price, and good longevity with a moderate sillage for several hours. I’m already thinking of buying another as a refill; the price-to-quality ratio is excellent, highly recommended.
Andyshon
Definitely undervalued. I’ve been wearing it for three days and don’t want to stop. At first it’s citrusy and rich, but after half an hour it shifts into a delicious smoky leather. It lasts over 7 hours on skin and people close by can smell it after two or three hours. For the price, it’s worth having. It’s very masculine and I recommend it.
