The Batman Vengeance

I smelled this through a sample card from another house of sillage perfume I bought and off of that card I was convinced to buy this. It's kind of a blind buy in my opinion because I couldn't even test it on my skin, but this was a VERY successful blind buy. My bottle is the 85th anniversary edition that I got on sale for 149 USD. To me the scent is fresh, a little woody, and quite sweet; truly unisex. The performance is outstanding with about ten hours on skin and a lot more on clothing. This thing projects very well for the first hour, and after that it radiates maybe a foot away for the next two hours. The sillage is also good which is surprising because a lot of HoS perfumes don't radiate despite the name. Batman can definitely be worn as a year round fragrance for any and all occasions, just like Sauvage, Aventus, Layton, etc. So if you're wondering about the compliment factor, here it is. This one is VERY good compliment wise. I want to preface this by saying I do not get a lot of compliments, especially from strangers. 99% of the compliments I get are from people I know such as friends and coworkers. I only wore this out twice and both times 5 sprays each. 2 sprays on each side of the neck and one on the back of the neck. First time I wore it I had dinner with a friend and he ended up telling me that I smelled really good. He was reluctant to say so cause he thought it would be awkward but he said it anyway. The second time I wore it was at a bar/pub with my coworkers and four of them kept going on about how I smelled so good. One of them commented further that "whatever you bought has to be worth it because look at all the compliments we're giving you." I promise you that I'm not one of those guys that stretch the truth and say you get all the compliments from wearing this and that. I go months without someone telling me I smell good. Other than the coworker that's also into perfumes but I think we don't really count that right...? Cause they already know you're wearing something. That's my experience with Batman and I would highly recommend you try a sample of it if you can. If I ever run out of this I'm definitely going to buy another bottle of it.

I love this fragrance for reference Im a female, & I find this fragrance pretty unisex, leaning only slightly Masculine. On a woman it wears dark, sexy, sweet, & intriguing. Something about it draws me in. What I think is making it more unisex is the Jasmine, Amber, and tonka bean. On my skin I mostly get tonka, amber, some airy light jasmine, & a woody earthy vetiver in the back ground, grounding the scent, bringing it all together & making it not lean too sweet/adding depth. I also love when my man wears this, it's just SO intoxicating imo. I intentionally went to repurchase the woman's batman hero but it hasn't been restocked so im pretty sure they are discontinuing it, I was very upset & decided to try the male version, but ive noticed with the other scents that they smell VERY similar to the female matching line sometimes in this line i actually find the male line better like with HOS- Passion the male one is actually sweeter, also the ruby flame is better then female version, reign, b/c reign is SUPER masculine imo(Deep rose, & leather thats it). So anyways when I tried this it did scratch my itch for Hero version of batman. Only difference is the women's this time, is slightly more sweeter/feminine with the Almond, red apple and magnolia, but other then that it's pretty spot on. Its a Love for me & my fiance, 9/10.

I would NOT have expected to like the fragrance as much as I do. I usually go for fresh scents. Aquatics, woodsy citrus frags, blues... I normally don't like vanilla scents at all that much. But Batman is incredible. I would call it a seductive vanilla freshie. The sweet notes are amped up, so I wouldn't over do it with the sprays. Anyway, I grabbed it because of the hype, and I get it now. The hype is real. I can see why it reminds people of Azzaro Most Wanted Intense edp. I have that, and it's okay at best... but I'd wear Batman 100 times over Azzaro. The quality is that much better. It also reminds me of Valentino Born in Roma. It's something along those lines. Designer-ish in approach. Easy to wear. Compliment getter. This is not hard to like. This is not a difficult niche fragrance that is complex. It's just a high quality seductive fragrance. I'm also surprised no one has mentioned that the bottle is like a Batman gadget itself. There was a cover over the atomizer/sprayer and I was trying to slide it off, twist it off, pull it off... no luck. There was a button on the bottle so I pressed it and the cover snaps over to the side, freeing the atomizer!

This fragrance is freakin amazing. It's basically a niche quality most wanted intense but not overly sweet and waaaaay better. The performance longevity and sillage is beast mode. I sprayed it on a shirt i was wearing and it literally stayed on it until I washed it and was still hints of it after I washed it. Great date night fragrance great for fall and winter and pretty much year round if you go easy on the trigger. I haven't gotten a chance to wear it in winter yet but I'd put every dollar I have that it will cut through the cold like a batarang. It's pretty expensive so I would wait for it to go on sale or if you don't want to risk not getting it because it's a limited edition fragrance then i would just blind buy it like I did, Imo it's blind buy safe. I most definitely recommend to at least sample it, it's a banger for sure although I agree and also wish they added a little leather in it but never know they could have at first but didn't turn out that great, either way it was love at first sniff for me!

This smelt so good on my husband. It was a blind-buy and such a pleasant surprise. Unfortunately, the women’s version of this scent didn’t work for me.
