King of Seduction

Antonio Banderas King of Seduction is really good. I got King of Seduction as one of my more recent blind-buys due to the Invictus comparisons. And I must say that I am sooo happy about it. After smelling it, I think I found my non-Dollar Store Paco Rabanne Invictus smelling fragrance however, it also has traces of Antonio Banderas Blue Seduction, Usher He and Reyane Tradition II Pure. I can't really say Aventus because I've never smelt Aventus proper. This makes it stand on its own as oppose to say Azarro's Wanted, Jimmy Choo's Jimmy Choo Man Intense, Coach's Coach for Men, Cuba Paris' Cuba Winner, or any number of Zara scents including Blue Spirit, Seoul and Unshakable. One of the notes that set it apart from most of the Invictus pack is the pineapple. This is where I feel it gets the Aventus comparison. That said, it is maybe more along the lines of fruity batch like Tradition II Pure, just more aquatic. A melon note in the top and suede note in the base makes this a lighter, far more aquatic Usher He. That said citrus and sea water notes ground this in the Invictus or even Invictus Aqua wheelhouse but not in an overly sweet way like many find Invictus to be. It last pretty long on me, about a work-day (7 hours) and even just a little more. It's alright sillage wise but the scent, price-point and the longevity are what make this fragrance a great gem. It may be just a little bit synthetic and 1 Million like to some but honestly in the semi-aquatic aromatic modern male scene, this is a great bargain fragrance and should not really be overlooked. I rate this an 8.4 out of 10, mainly due to the only-downside being the sillage.

Here's the thing about this perfume...you gotta be lucky. I tested one in a store and it was great. Smelled quite pleasant, lasted decently and had okay projection. Tested in another store and it was nothing but a blast of harsh alcohol mixed with insecticide and harsh lemon that I couldn't wait to scrub off. The one I have now is pretty good...Great deal for the 200ml. I'd say its a worthy cheapie to have when you don't wanna wear something designer or want somewhere to start your fragrance collection. I'd rather wear this than a lot of the $40-$50 range of colognes. Obviously it's on the cheaper side so keep expectations low, but I'd say it's decent.

This is pretty much 70% invictus 30% aventus,I wore this to work and asked 10 sexi beautiful ladies did they like it and all of them either liked it or loved it,its a stand alone scent and it smells good and for $25 for 200ml is pretty much a steal and it last 7 plus hours on skin days on cloths,a solid 8 out 10 and a amazing sleeper cheapie but goodie.......peace

Fresh and cool and light citrusy but with good woody middle notes. It garners compliments from Women and men who want to know what I am wearing. It is perfect for an office or a night out Its longevity is not great so I would get the absolute version if you do not want to carry around a small decant to re-apply here and there.

Have had this for about 9 months now. Good scent (Versace pour Homme vibe as someone said), good longevity (at least for me - about 10h), but POOR projection (a skin scent). If you want something for the office to overspray, this is the fragrance. Pleasant smell that sits close to the skin
