On El

This cologne was released in 2001 and, although the brand Jesus Del Pozo is still practically unknown among the Brazilian audience, their fragrances are widely praised by its users. To review this scent is a mission almost impossible, taking into account a fragrance that is extremely mutant. There are so many notes and developments, that the best thing to do is to know it before making hasty decisions. The bottle looks like a modern bottle designed to save a genius, in a stylish manner. Comes in an acrylic box with silver background, as a small display case mirrored. It has output notes of mint, bergamot, lemon, mandarin orange, pineapple, blackcurrant, green apple, melon, lavender, basil, green leaves, ozone and nutmeg. In the heart, Lily of the Valley (muguet), jasmine and violet. At the base, vetiver, Iris, cedar, patchouli, sandalwood, oakmoss, peach, raspberry, musk and amber. Now, read the notes above in the repeat mode and see how many intriguing combinations were created in this composition, in a fruity, green, floral and Woody combo. In my opinion, the most intriguing about this cologne is the introduction of notes that are usually used in the creation of feminine fragrances, such as raspberry and peach. And this giant mix results in a fragrance, as cited previously, super changeable. In some, the floral aspect becomes more evident; in others, results in a generic scent. There are those who claim to be unisex and those who criticize this mess of overlapping notes. I've read comparisons with Roma Uomo, Minotaure, Rocabar, Acqua di Giò, Black Xs, etc. I can only speak for myself and for the way it reacts on my skin: starts with plenty of pineapple and a typical freshness of mint. In about five minutes, the melon dominates and dispute space with lavender and nutmeg. During this initial period, reminded me of Polo Blue. When joins the floral part, I don't feel the jasmine (which I love), but the nuance of violet is present. After about 40 minutes, the last facet arises, with a fougère base, in which the moss is remarkable, but peach, cedar and musk reign. I would like to feel more sandalwood and patchouli, but it didn't happen. It has reasonable sillage and very good lasting. Maybe, in warmer weather, works differently. And I don't have a doubt of being surprised, many times, by this fragrance yet.

Marshall's had a ton of this so I picked up a 3.4 oz spray for $14.99 not expecting much. I was pleasantly surprised. Its a very sporty and light, easy to wear fragrance that is very expensive smelling. What sets it apart is the mint. It's not an ordinary run of the mill minty smell, but a light fresh spearmint I have never smelled before in a cologne. Only complaint is it doesn't last too long and the projection is a bit weak. But for the price I can't complain. Btw, I haven't seen it in Marshall's since. It was a one time deal :-(

Years ago, I smelled this on my coworker back when I was working in a nursing home. I was in high school and usually I wouldn’t ask another guy what cologne they are wearing but his scent captivated me, Long story SHORT - he was wearing this babe. I looked it up online and bought it. It doesn’t compare to the fragrances I own now but it was ‘just what the doctor ordered ‘ for my high school years.,

Great fragance, specially for summer and hot springtime... In the same vein of Chevignon The Best or Instintic by Beckham ... A bitter fruit, specially citricial, a little acid... on me it starts sparkling and bitter citrical way, for me lemon and lime, refreshing and tonic... An optimistic and cozy waterly fragance, as an important and high quality cologne. Saddly discontinued in my country.

To All of you who think that this (???) is a scent worthy of any positive words, please try something else. Anything. And You will get a better idea of what the world of perfumes is like. Of course I am writing this comment hoping that You're not Carlos Moya/Antonio Banderas addicted. In case You are then On El is good for you plus owning a great bottle which is the only thing worth mentioning here. *(****)
