Black & Red

To skiadero93 - The Mandarina Duck Black aka Pure Black is sweeter and more "gourmand". Here on B-and-R you can smell flowers too. *It is* "redder" in a way (sometimes i think it smells like raspberries or another berry like cranberry). This one is also sweet on the fruity side but to be exact: in a flowery way. Both B&R and Black have balsmaic and white floral notes in them, but the Black has also vanilla and sweet notes and B&R has a "fresh spicy" note. It is a good scent and i do enjoy it every once in a while. Spring will be ideal for this but maybe fall too. I would say longevity and projection are moderate or reasonable for this price tag. Price with Coupon is 25 USD, but many times you can get it for cheaper. Look for special deals online and in stores near you.

A sweet tonka bean scent but is still safe enough to be used during the day (use wisely). Decent performance and moderate longevity on my skin. Overall a good fragrance for the price, it was sadly discontinued though. What a shame since it held a sentimental value for me.

Got a 100ml sealed BNIB from a retailer clearance sale in 2020, didn't expect to see the price skyrocket lately.. Anyway, it's mildly sweet in a familiar way as I find the following ones have similar vibe and can be alternatives to B&R: Armani Code Colonia YSL Y Le Parfum Benz Sign Paris Hilton Gold Rush Man How similar is B&R to Pure Black? Quite similar, I'd say. Perhaps like what Stronger with You Freeze is to the original SWY?

Diluted mix of Versace Eros and Eros Flame. Parameters are also toned down in comparison to Versace. You can grab this if Eros is too expensive for you or you would something like Eros Light L'Eau version for summer in order not to kill anyone in the room with regular Eros :) Decent frag if you are on a budget :) It's also much more woody than sweet in late dry-down after 3-4 hours. 6/10

Can someone tell me how similar this is to the other ducks? Like black? I got black and white and it was way too similar to black to be different.
