  Top quality perfume. At first, a flash that reminds me of Paco Rabanne’s 1 Million due to the top notes, but it’s more complex, fresh, and sparkling than that. The middle notes open up slowly, with a floral bouquet buffered by the sweetness of the base that embraces it elegantly, creating a sweet and floral aroma. Then the base sweetness takes over, but without being cloying; it’s an appetizing sweetness, cinnamon-like and without exaggeration, with a touch of musky leather. The main protagonist is the blend of amber, vanilla, tonka bean, and cinnamon. Exquisite. Very well executed and recommended, though better to try it first to avoid surprises. The longevity is surprising, over 10 hours on me, with moderate projection. Be careful with over-application, as they could result in being excessive.

  Top quality perfume. At first, it flashes back to Paco Rabanne’s 1 Million, but it’s noticeable that it’s something more complex, intricate, and sparkling. The middle notes arrive slowly with a floral bouquet buffered by the sweetness of the base, which embraces it elegantly. Then that appetizing sweetness takes over, cinnamon-like and without exaggeration, with a touch of musky leather and a spectacular combination of amber, vanilla, tonka bean, and cinnamon. Exquisite and very well executed, though I recommend trying it first to avoid surprises. The longevity is surprising, over 10 hours on me, with moderate projection; watch out for over-application.

  I agree with Darkbeat that BEJAR’s TIGER’S EYE reminds me of Paco Rabanne’s 1 MILLION but without the strength and roundness of the latter. I would never categorize it as a floral chypre as the sheet says; I don’t feel any oakmoss, holm oak, heather, labdanum, or fruity, floral, or aldehydic notes. This seems to be a leitmotif of mine, but let it be known that this is how I see it. I lean towards classifying it as a woody oriental family: cinnamon, rose, vanilla, orange blossom, tonka bean, amber, and patchouli dominate, though a hint of citrus from orange and bergamot peeks through, giving clarity within the warmth and gentleness. The trail is moderate and longevity is high, with very standout performance and value for money. The drydown is beautiful, combining simplicity with depth and sensuality with mysticism. The bottle has a classic design with wood shavings at the bottom, an exotic and original look with an artisanal niche vibe. I don’t know if the name OJO DE TIGRE relates to the semi-precious stone, a talisman for travelers and bodily cleansing. I’ve found it tricky to discern between Ramón Béjar and Ramón Molvizar; on some websites they seem like the same entity, on others not. Fragantica says Molvizar collaborates with Béjar, but another source says Béjar was born in Molvizar, moved to Barcelona, and founded his company for real characters from countries like Saudi Arabia. He created a luxury line combining his name with the town’s. I’m still confused: on one hand, there’s niche with gold (Gold Collection at 300 euros), and on the other, perfumes like PASSIONATE, TIGER’S EYE, WELLNESS, LAPISLAZULI, QUEEN SECRET, etc., at affordable prices. Anyway, marketing things that escape my understanding. SCENT: I like it a lot, high note, especially in drydown / TRAIL: medium / LONGEVITY: medium-high / PERFORMANCE: very acceptable / USAGE: any time due to versatility.

  Thanks to Darkbeat for the reviews, thanks to you I managed to get this first sample. Soft smell but super rich. I don’t know much more because I just tried it, so I’ll keep you posted. But one thing is clear: the scent is a marvel, haha.

  I’ll take advantage of Josesan’s review to talk about this Tiger’s Eye, which I tried thanks to a sample from Darkbeat and really liked. I’ll just say upfront that it’s a clone of One Million, and a pretty good one. I think anything from Béjar’s budget line is worth it; mostly they are replicas, but they have that touch of honesty and ‘well-made’ quality that separates them from pharmacy bottles. Within my One Million spiral, the one I liked the most is Halloween Man, where an elegant rose slides over the abstract background Paco Rabanne first formulated in Ultrared. The aroma of Tiger’s Eye is more delicate and porous than its reference, perhaps richer because it doesn’t abuse spices and prefers a soft, creamy texture. It’s persistent and well-behaved; if you have it close by, your hand almost goes to the bottle without thinking. It’s not for snobs, but from its humble position and ridiculous price, it could find a spot in the heart of any enthusiast.

  I tried this before I even knew what 1 Million was, and it didn’t click with me. I picked it up at Equivalenza from the Vibrational line; out of all of them, this one convinced me the most, but ultimately, the note blend left me with a sweet-bitter aftertaste I just couldn’t handle, so I gifted it away. Curiously, people say it smells like 1 Million (which I also don’t wear), so unknowingly, I was already an anti-1M before it even hit the shelves. The Vibrational line is dedicated to mystical stones and minerals: this is Tiger’s Eye, a talisman for travelers and bodily cleansing; there’s also Onyx (protection), Amethyst (calm and relief), Lapis Lazuli (nobility and luck), Rose Quartz (unconditional love), and Pure Quartz (energy and clarity). Their low price might be because they were discontinued for the Middle East and the excess stock was sold cheap. Overall, they’re far from the European palate; the Béjar/Ramón Molvizar clientele is high society from the Middle East, and they tend to favor heavy perfumes or strange combinations. The truth is, for the price, you can test this beauty with floating minerals inside without regrets, as they are niche perfumes (some even contain gold and cost 1,000 euros). The longevity is very good. Au revoir!

  I had it before I knew what 1 Million was and it didn’t suit me. I bought it at Equivalenza; out of all the unisex/men’s perfumes in the Vibrational line, this was the one that convinced me the most, but ultimately it didn’t quite take; the mix of notes left me with a sweet/bitter aftertaste and I couldn’t handle it, so I gifted it. They say it reminds people of 1 Million (which I also don’t like), so unknowingly I was already an anti-1M before it appeared in perfumeries. The Vibrational line is dedicated to stones/minerals with mystical properties: Tiger’s Eye (talisman for travelers and bodily cleansing), Onyx (mental, spiritual, and physical protection), Amethyst (protective, blocks bad energies and relieves pain), Lapis Lazuli (nobility, strength, luck, sacred in Egypt), Rose Quartz (unconditional love and peace, channels healing), and Rock Crystal (amplifies energy, blocks the negative, mental clarity). Their low price might be because they were discontinued for the Middle East and the excess stock was left at a bargain price. Overall, they’re far from European tastes; the Béjar/Ramón Molvizar clientele is Middle Eastern high society, and they tend to favor heavy perfumes or strange combinations. The truth is, for the price they have, some like this Tiger’s Eye (beauty of the bottle and concept, with floating stones), can be tested without regrets if you don’t like it, because they are niche (some contain gold and cost 1,000 euros). The longevity is very good. Au revoir.
