Seduction X: A Woody Spicy Fragrance for Men by Antonio Banderas
Antonio Banderas has added Seduction X to its men's range, a new fragrance launched in ️2026. It was composed by perfumer Ilias Ermenidis and sits within the woody spicy olfactory family.
With an average rating of 3.85 out of 5, based on ️93 ratings, this launch is already catching the eye of perfume lovers.
The opening of Seduction X is bright and zesty,with elemi, grapefruit, pink pepper, green apple,and juniper berry. These top notes give a fresh, slightly piquant start.
The heart is a more intricate blend of cardamom, clary sage, whisky, ginger,and angelica. The whisky note lends a gentle, boozy warmth, while clary sage provides an herbal softness.
At the base, suede, incense, cedar, sandalwood,and moss form a warm, leathery foundation. The combination of suede and incense adds a smoky, almost resinous depth, anchored by the woods.
The fragrance's main accords are described as aromatic, woody, warm spicy, fresh spicy, soft spicy, amber, powdery, leathery, balsamic,and musky. This broad range gives it a sophisticated, multi-layered character.
Seduction X currently holds an average score of 3.85/5 from ️93 ratings, along with eight written reviews. As a 2026 release, it is still finding its feet, but it has already sparked conversation among masculine fragrance fans.
This perfume is designed for men who appreciate a fragrance with character, one that balances spicy freshness with woody warmth. It should also appeal to those who enjoy leather, incense, or whisky accords.
Seduction X is a confident, well-rounded composition that brings together traditional perfumery ingredients in a modern way. For anyone seeking a distinctive yet wearable masculine scent, it is worth exploring.

Share what you noticed: opening, drydown, sillage and the moments when it works for you.
I tried it and I liked it quite a bit. I can’t describe the scent or compare it to another perfume, but you can definitely feel a designer perfume, a Paco Rabanne smell. I get the feeling I’ve smelled it before and that everyone likes it. It made me feel like I was walking through a shopping centre. Performance feels normal, acceptable. Good buy for the value.
I tried it and I bought the 100ml impulsively, smelling it while I write this review. It smells like an accessible, serious, and friendly man. It’s not a perfume I’m proud of buying; I don’t think it’s a safe blind buy, nor after trying it. It’s rather another product from a brand that has neither good longevity nor good fragrances, but good marketing. Antonio Banderas doesn’t produce perfumes for longevity, but to sell you the product with diluted expectations, just like his fragrances: a light sillage, with little duration, but that evokes that feeling of being something more.
It would be the best low-cost perfume if it lasted and projected 50% more than it already does.
Very rich opening, but it doesn’t last at all. It gave me an hour and then it stayed close to the skin.
Beautiful perfume. It’s true that it’s similar to Cobalt, but to my nose it also reminds me of Dolce & Gabbana K EDP, especially in the drydown. They share notes, so I’m not mad, haha. As for performance, what can I say? For what it costs, it’s more than good: 6 hours on skin and it projects well for 1 hour. Definitely a safe buy.
Interesting, seductive and mysterious aroma, and in that sense it’s true it has a Bad Boy Cobalt family vibe. But, as often happens with Antonio Banderas, the performance lets it down. A perfume for the evening, for cold but not extreme weather, for a date when you want to convey a certain elegance. I detected that cardamom, and I also thought it had geranium like the Carolina Herrera one, but apparently I was influenced by knowing the fragrance notes… What Bad Boy Cobalt sells you as earthy vetiver and truffle is presented here as “suede”.
I bought it at Ripley (Chile). It’s a shame how long it lasts: it has no sillage and stays only close to the skin. I’m used to perfumes that walk into a room before you and stay with you for hours, compared to this one, which lasts like a body splash. However, its smell is very pleasant; my partner smelled it — and she doesn’t really like perfumes — and she kept saying it was lovely. If only it lasted six hours, it would definitely be my signature perfume.
This perfume is a perfect example of how you can be an absolute stunner and dirt cheap… It has nuances and accords like Afnan Collector Edition (a dupe of Aventus Absolu). Unfortunately for me, I already have a lot of that DNA, so I had to sell it the same day.
The opening is very nice, but it doesn’t last at all—it lasted an hour and then it stayed close to the skin.
