This perfume reminds me a lot of Allure Homme Sport Eau Extreme at certain moments. Like with other Armaf scents, I don’t think it’s a pure clone, but rather its own version. I’ve read it resembles a Creed, but since I don’t know that one, here’s my take. The opening is potent and very spicy; the pepper is noticeable but not annoying, balanced well with the fruity notes. I loved that complex opening. It has a very soft aquatic base where plum stands out, sweet with citrus touches, all capped off by pepper. Then comes the cinnamon; the fruits and citrus fade, but the pepper lingers. It smells like highly spiced cinnamon with elegant flowers, especially lavender which becomes powdery and slightly soapy over time, but very subtle. You can detect sweet and musky woods. Vanilla is almost always there, especially at the end, soft and refined. I absolutely loved it. Longevity is great: perfect for 6 hours, then about 3 more close to the skin. Sillage is moderate, strong at first then close to the skin. Ideal for night or cool weather. Top quality-to-price. Another hit from Armaf that leaves a great taste in my mouth.

I picked this up cheap since it’s discontinued; sounds like they missed the mark. I bought it out of curiosity to see if it matched Allure Homme Sport Eau Extreme (though I haven’t tried that one myself), but in the end, I’m keeping it. It didn’t work for me from the brand Brune, and at €30, it doesn’t hurt as much as if I’d spent triple on the original Chanel. It’s sweet but not overpowering, with an aromatic touch. Projection and longevity are average. I can’t say more because I simply didn’t like it.
