Cheap is not always expensive
Who knew I would add Nike perfumes to my collection? I don't think I even believed it. But the reality is that I was surprised by this cheapie.

Citrus and green start, very spicy and hot (it really gets hot). It is a strong and mature aroma, as it is a perfume that goes with a suit and tie or a formal outfit.

For me, it's not joviality, so for younger people who like sweet or light perfumes, they will have a negative surprise (despite being young, I was pleasantly surprised).

For work, it is quite interesting, especially in meetings or more formal occasions. It can be used both during the day and at night as the aroma matches both phases of the day.

However, in excessive heat the perfume can be uncomfortable. Perhaps because of the presence of tobacco mixed with honey.

After the first two hours the fragrance softens well, then the sage becomes more evident and at the end the musk, lightly, gives a smooth finish.

For me, 1h projection and 4/5h longevity (we get what we pay for).

Great fragrance that perhaps should be tested for purchase as it is quite peculiar, as it is an aromatic fougere.

Clearly approaching the D&G pour Homme (at least in terms of aroma).

D&G pour homme for less than 10€. A bit more linear and definitely more subtle performance wise. Doesn't smell cheap at least. Nice!

The resemblance to the D&G Pour Homme is great, although it has a synthetic finish. For the price (8€), it's a great option.

Shower gel in a bottle. Nothing special, but for what it is (holiday souvenir for 5€) - great! Unbeatable value for money.

Nike surprises again in a positive way. The perfume doesn't follow the trend. It's more like DG pH or GMV Uomo. Autumnal maple syrup-wax candle.
