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

This really is a great fragrance - smells distinctly masculine and powerful and is well priced. Somewhat synthetic smell (which is probably where the contrasts to Invictus come from) but I really love this one, yet can't stand Invictus. Will gladly buy another bottle once mine is finished

exquisito, de toda mi colección a mi gusto aromaticamente es el más delicioso lastima que la duración deja mucho que desear, vas a tener que aplicarte varios gatillazos porque tanto la duración como la proyección son muy pobres

This is a nice clean citrus and fruity scent. That you can't over spray. Use as many sprays as you'd like. But bring a travel atomizer with you, to respray your fragrance. So you can extend and smell fresh all day. I'll take it. Can't smell it on myself after three hours...but others could. Hopped in the car and received a compliment from my co-worker. I guess on my skin...this smells like a fruity version of irish spring..."Um...Cool?" I used nine sprays...both wrist, behind my ears, back & front of my neck, chest, front and back of my shirt. Will I buy this again?...Yes.

There is no similarity to Creed Aventus (or its clones) at all. Also I don't get any pineapple in top notes, only indeterminate sweet fruitiness similar to Invictus or Rasasi Hawas. There is also some freshness similar to Versace Man Eau Fraiche or Blue Seduction, which is great, but what I don't like too much is strange bitter rubbery note in drydown. Overall it's good perfume in style of Invictus, but more fresh (and much less sweet than Rasasi Hawas). But longevity is really bad and I miss ambroxan in base notes.

É um bom perfume, não extraordinário, mas bom, Antonio Banderas não é conhecido por ter uma boa fixação, mas pelo preço e proposta, ele fixa bem (5-6 horas na minha pele), e por incrível pareça, ele projeta bem, a ponto de eu conseguir reconhecer quem está usando ele a cerca de 1 metro e meio de distância. É aquilo, não é extraordinário, mas já arranquei alguns bons elogios com ele. Recomendo sim se você estiver procurando algo para o dia, mas talvez vc ache coisa melhor nas casas de contratipos.

To me it smells very clean, soapy and citrusy. A good and clean affordable fragrance. But many other people told me it smells like a new car. A new car scent, I totally don’t get it and I don’t see it. But I guess I smell things differently. I asked a few girls and they don’t seem to like it. But I very much like this fragrance, just other people told me otherwise.

Nice scent, I get fruits and citrus. Good value but with poor to average performance. I don't know why but sometimes it lasted quite longer, sometimes it doesn't. Will pass on buying a full bottle because of this as there are better options aside from this one in terms of the scent itself and the performance.

This is a citrusy, fruity, masculine fragrance. It's not that long-lasting, and the smell isn't the strongest either. But for this price, this is a very good perfume. Perfect for spring and, very good for gym too. A highly recommended fragrance for those who don't want to spend a lot of money on a perfume.

smells typical and generic but it's something can't go wrong with. soapy and smooth citric. gives you clean and manly vibe. smells like mixed between montblanc legend spirit and invictus. somewhat it doesn't last long. sure it smells delicious and quite joyable! I like this one... also has great value.

Wore this today to work. It actually got a few compliments. Seems to have some lasting power in the warm Cali summer. Stayed around 4-5 hours after application. Although I don't love this fragrance, I do not mind it, especially if its getting some compliments from the opposite sex.

Similar to King of Seduction absolute, but without the tangerine note. It has a tiny bit of cedar and suede. Overall a nice, clean and fresh fragrance for the day or office. I couldn't smell the apple or pineapple notes.

Nice fresh aquatic melon scent with a suede undertone. Very cheap, both in price and quality, but still pleasant enough to wear casually. It also gets compliments. It was created by Fabrice Pellegrin and Amandine Marie.

it ́s fresh, it ́s cool, it ́s warm, gorgeous, brilliant, mysterious, modern, it ́s all of this, a well balanced perfume, well made and not expensive, i like it!

It's decent, could come across as slightly synthetic. There is a slightly cold clinical quality to it though- which no one else seems to have mentioned.

The scent is very similar to Antonio Banderas Blue Seduction EDT, the composition has the same summer, marine, citrus character, only more fruity.
