It’s a fresh, aquatic scent with a fruity touch. It doesn’t smell like soap, but at first it reminds me of classic blue fragrances from Versace or YSL, even some Invictus clones. Unfortunately, my nose just doesn’t connect with that DNA. Still, it’s a good smell: the opening is rich, enjoyable, and refreshing, though as it dries down, it loses its brightness and turns sweet and warm, likely due to the tonka bean. It brings to mind Gucci Guilty or Armani Code, which on my skin smell like a stationery store or foam; here, I don’t detect citrus, but something aquatic and sweet. It’s clean, and compared to others, I tolerate it better on my skin. It feels more masculine and serious, especially compared to fruity aquatic scents. Ideal for semi-formal occasions, perfect for work in spring or summer; it smells like a man.

I was gifted this recently, and although I didn’t know the brand, it hits the three B’s: good, beautiful, and cheap. The spray is generous and covers me well; the bottle is simple and practical. While it feels low quality, it doesn’t matter to me because the price should be in the fragrance. Upon application, it has a slightly fresh opening with a very soft touch of bergamot (no sharp acidity), evolving into floral notes of lavender and woods, perhaps with a touch of tonka bean sweetness that isn’t overpowering. It lasts about 6 hours. To my taste, it’s fresh, not cloying, and doesn’t smell synthetic or cheap. I use it in the morning for the gym or outdoor activities; it smells clean and great. I’ll buy it again when I run out and try other offerings from the brand, as I believe they offer much more than their price tag. Cheers.

I was gifted this perfume a few months ago; I didn’t know Perfumería before, but I think it hits the 3 Bs (good, beautiful, cheap). The spray is wide and covers enough area; the bottle is simple and practical. It feels a bit low-quality, but in my case, it doesn’t matter since the price should focus on the fragrance itself. Upon application, it has a slightly fresh opening with a very soft touch of bergamot (no sharp acidity), evolving into a floral lavender and wood tone; I’m not sure about the tonka bean sweetness, but it’s not prominent. It lasts about 6 hours, the aroma is fresh, not cloying, and doesn’t smell synthetic or ‘cheap’. I use it in the mornings for the gym or outdoors; it smells clean and great. I’d buy it again when it runs out and will try other proposals from the brand; I think they offer more than they cost. Cheers.

Pros: Lasts all day at work. I applied it to the back of my neck, and it still lingered when I turned without causing olfactory fatigue. Although it says ‘Madera Acqua’, I barely feel the wood; it’s more of a sweet scent with a citrus touch, ideal for me since I can’t handle woody notes. Cons: It smells very much like GO13 from Perfumería. With both in hand, I can’t distinguish them; perhaps this one is more citrusy and the Memo one sweeter, but it’s almost imperceptible. It’s a flaw for the brand overall, as their perfumes smell very similar, using common notes like bergamot. Another example: Sal de Mar and Bergamota smelled nearly the same to me. In short, it’s a great smell and duration, but the dry-down is very similar to other fragrances from the same house.
