This is the fifth Samba fragrance I own. The best thing about this brand is how affordable they are; a small bottle lasts months, even years. It’s a more than reasonable investment, coming in at between $10 and $20 per bottle, which is very comfortable. Sometimes we can’t budget for a Chanel or Dior, and Samba has shown me I can smell good without spending a fortune. As for Samba Skin, it’s the fifth from the brand. It smells of lots of amber and spices, probably cinnamon with a hint of tobacco, but what stands out most is the amber, which is my favourite scent. The scent doesn’t change on the skin, the trail is moderate, and the longevity is medium to high. It’s very sweet, rich, and comfortable; people notice it but it doesn’t bother them. When I apply it, it reminds me of chocolate. I use it almost daily, alternating it with regular Samba or Nova. On rainy days, in autumn or winter, it feels better, but I use it all year round regardless of the weather. A few months ago I bought three extra bottles in a K-Mart special for just $7 each. What more could I ask for at that price!
Once it dries, it smells about 60% like Pure Havane, but the opening has something that doesn’t quite suit me; it lasts about 10 minutes and then calms down and smells good. Here, Samba Skin smells of chocolate instead of tobacco. I love Pure Havane and I have it, but it’s expensive and I save it for special days; with that, I use this Samba Skin Man on other days because it’s incredibly cheap: with what you buy for a Pure, you get ten of these. It cost me $10 (189 pesos). If you like the Pure or Spicebomb, this could appeal to you, not just for the price but for the scent, although don’t expect miracles.
