Ego Black

This was the first fragrance I ever got, and it's a nice one for the price. The opening starts out with a bit of mint and some patchouli. It dies down to green apple, a bit floral, while the base of it is a woodier scent. It's a very inexpensive fragrance, and it does smell good for the price. However, the performance isn't too good, it does project decently for the first hours, but then becomes a skin scent. It lasts for around 5-6 hours, but regardless I still love it because I wore it the first time I met my long distance girlfriend.

This was my first ever fragrance and it is very inexpensive. Opening smells cheap, almost like a pine tree/aquatic toilet freshener, but the dry down is quite pleasant with woody and floral scents. In my experience the performance is weak, only around 1-2 hours of good projection performance. The price however makes up for it because you can't go wrong with only 10 dollars. This is a very nice first fragrance for a beginner.

I like this one. For some reason it gives me the feeling like it would be a lovechild of Diesel Only The Brave Tattoo and Gentleman by Givenchy. It has a distinct green apple (granny smith note) in the open and I like it a lot. I like the way this doesn't feel too linear and instead had many phases. It is a seductive smell to me, maybe more of an autumnal or winter nighttime frag but definitely you could get away with it during day. I imagine a dude rockin this with a leather jacket. I would see this on someone 25-35 years old. I think it is classy for the price. On me it does have surprising longevity: About 4-5h on skin and 6-8 on clothes. Very impressive imo for a cheapie. Edit: This lasts on clothes for ages. I sprayed it on a few week back and STILL got that patchouli and pepper from my clothes. Pretty dope for a cheapie! But if you hate patchouli then.... oh noes!
