Super intense, sweet, and dark perfume—perfect for wearing a black shirt and going out to conquer.
Gastonhee
Smells almost exactly like One Million.

A lady at a local perfumery recommended it based on my tastes; I loved the scent and performance so much that I bought it without knowing its longevity. It turned out to be super addictive and sexy, ideal for cold weather, dates, and nighttime wear. I got 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 before, so I took the deal. I compared it right there with Halloween Man and One Million, and later found that while Halloween wins over One Million in dry-down, Addiction beats Halloween. One smells very different, but Addiction is much richer. Halloween is about 70% similar, but Addiction is more powerful, creamy, spiced, and has a very subtle smoky note, perhaps from the leather. It’s as delicious as I remembered, like Halloween but amplified—you can tell. The quality for the price is spectacular, just like Halloween. Plus, I like it more in dry-down; 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 a subtle cinnamon, then leather freshly taken from the tannery—acidic but the star. No amber or rose; that cured leather gives it an impossible virility. It’s unique in scent, price, and originality, a slap in the face to leather fragrances that charge triple the price. With three sprays, I get arm’s-length projection for three hours. Batch 133HK1, deserves a chance, it’s rough and elegant all at once.

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

Excellent autumn perfume for the Southern Hemisphere. Exquisite aroma; on my skin, it lasts at least six hours with good sillage. The price? Ridiculously low. I bought it blind and loved it. I’ll be wearing it to the office.

Very good for its price.

Very good for the price.

Reminds me of Halloween, a very pleasant scent at an incredibly low price. Worth it. The only downside is that the longevity and sillage aren’t the best, but for the price, it’s more than enough. A safe blind buy.

Reminds me of Halloween. Very pleasant aroma at an extremely low price. Worth it. The only criticism could be the projection and longevity, but it’s enough for the price. A safe blind buy.

A masterpiece. Smells exactly like Carolina Herrera 212 Sexy Men—that soapy, slightly sweaty shirt note is pure magic. It’s going to be my go-to for nights out, with an enveloping quality that leaves a trail and makes people notice you. It’s exquisite, striking, and lasts over 12 hours on skin and clothes with a two-meter sillage that makes everyone ask what I’m wearing. Unbeatable quality-to-price ratio, a 2020 gem I missed and I 100% recommend.

A total gem, it smells exactly like Carolina Herrera 212 Sexy Men—that scented shirt and light sweat note is pure magic. It’s going to be my go-to for nights out, with an enveloping quality that leaves a trail and makes people notice you pass by. It’s exquisite, striking, and lasts over 12 hours on skin and clothes, with a sillage of two meters that makes everyone ask what you’re wearing. Unbeatable quality-to-price ratio, a 2020 find I overlooked, and I recommend it 100%.
martin ferreira
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 about buying another as a refill; the price-to-quality ratio is excellent, I recommend it.
Andyshon
Definitely undervalued. I’ve worn 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.
