Macho Man

This is a $5 perfume oil attar that smells very similar to Tom Ford Tuscan Leather. Notes in this are exactly the same as that in Tom Ford Tuscan Leather, namely: leather, suede, rasberry, amber, saffron, woodsy notes, olibanum, thyme, and jasmine - with particular emphasis on leather, suede, and rasberry (the notes that define Tuscan Leather). I've smelled Tom Ford Tuscan Leather and this is 95% identical to it, especially in the opening where they both share that infamous 'cocaine' smell. After a few minutes though, it becomes in fact far superior to Tuscan Leather in my opinion due to far more pronounced suede and rasberry notes in Macho Man. I'm not kidding when I say I enjoy this $5 attar far more than the $300 Tuscan Leather on scent alone - if I sniffed each without knowing what they were, I would choose Macho Man by Nabeel (and if you want the rasberry to be even more pronounced than Nabeel Macho Man in a similar style to Tom Ford Tuscan Leather, try out Daniel Josier's Green Leather; while just rasberry minus the other notes in TL can be found in Montblanc's Individuel). As for longevity and projection, Tuscan Leather wins but surprisingly not by much. Tuscan Leather has better projection but has similar beastmode longevity as Macho Man. And Macho Man's projection is still no slouch either. This is the real deal! I don't even normally like leather fragrances, but this is incredible. I would buy this over Tuscan Leather 10 days out of 10. 5/5

No problem, Eyviab! And I agree - Macho Man's longevity is great, 12+ hours or so. The only difference is projection. Macho man sits a little closer to the skin than Tuscan Leather, but it does project softly and consistently. But if you add more, the projection will match Tuscan Leather. (But let's be honest, Tuscan Leather can be TOO strong sometimes!) As for a comparison of the two? Macho Man is dead-on accurate to the best parts of Tuscan Leather. Macho Man's sweetness is closer to TL's middle to last half instead of its overly sweet opening. Macho Man's raspberry is equivalent to TL's middle, so it's present all the same, but not overbearing. The leather and suede in Macho Man are strong and just as distinguishable as they are in TL's dry down, but Macho Man is slightly brighter/cleaner. Tuscan Leather is a bit deeper/dirtier, and it almost smells like it has a bit of incense underneath the same leather note. Anyway, I'm picking out these slight differences, but the difference is really VERY minimal! Honestly, if anything, Macho Man's scent BEATS Tuscan Leather for me, due to its slight differences. While wearing it, you might even forget that you're not wearing Tuscan Leather. The difference is that the aspects where Tuscan Leather is slightly overbearing, Macho Man is just as present without being at all abrasive. In my opinion, this is one of the closest/best fragrance clones I've ever experienced. I HIGHLY recommend it!

Im so excited to see macho man in the database! I've been wearing this oil for a few months now and it's outstanding! This smells very niche. There is no synthetic notes. It's marketed to men but this imo is totally unisex. This can be worn alone or layered under other perfumes. I layer it under Wood Mystique sometimes. I also layer it under Chergui since the new formulation isn't as long lasting, this helps it stick around forever! Macho man is intense, it can take a few minutes to really enjoy it and love it. It lasts very long and projects incredibly good. I smell the wood, suede, leather, rasperry, amber, and i swear there is tabacco in this. It reminds me of sitting by the wood fire place with grandpa smoking a cherry cigar while telling stories. Im in love with this oil, it's amazing in the fall weather. I haven't smelled a better wood and tabacco scent yet. Longevity is 24 hours on skin and days to weeks on clothes and jackets. Sillage fills a room then after a half hour it has sillage to an arms length and stays like that all day, you'll walk in a cozy scented cloud all day and night and leave a beautiful scent trail. I have women and men ask me what I'm wearing and complimenting it continuously. A 6ml rollerball on Al-Rashad.com is only 3 dollars and it smells like it's worth hundreds. This is a "noir" fragrance for sure! A true love that i will keep in my collection!! :)

Tonight, I am wearing Tuscan Leather on one arm, and Nabeel Macho Man on the other. I have a pretty developed nose, and honestly, I wouldn't be able to tell which one is which in blind test. Macho Man may be slightly less defined in terms of notes, but honestly, it's really hard to discriminate one from the other. I am impressed on how Nabeel managed to create a perfect clone of TL, not only in terms of scent, but also performance (Macho Man may even perform slightly better. For your info: 1.6oz of TL retails for approx $180, while an oil stick of Nabeel MM retails for approx $5. Feel free to spend your money as you want, but the $175 difference in expense is like throwing money in the toilet bowl. May I suggest we buy Nabeel's Macho Man and give the $175 leftover to a charity? (or buy other frags with those!). If it's worth, I spend the money, but here, really, the price difference is NOT justified. Gets a love from me because of the amazing ratio quality/price, albeit I am not found of the rasperry note (in both TL and MM). Fall/Winter evenings, 30+, unisex (even slightly feminine, despite the name) Edit: 5 hours in, TL is a skin scent, while MM still project at 2-3inches. 12 hours in, and TL is dead, while MM is still present as a skin scent. Just saying!

Macho Man is as the name implies... Macho. It's a guy in his 30's to 50's wearing a leather jacket and biker boots, or the adventurous businessman in his designer suit and leather overcoat. It's masculine in a gentlemen-like way. The leather is more of a suede like those popular jackets from the 80's with a well done rasberry note that blends perfectly into a unique composition, perfect for cold winter days. The performance will shock you for such a budget fragrance. Frankly, I find it much better than TF's Tuscan Leather which leans on the feminine side. Naming a fragrance Macho Man may seem corny and even outdated. But don't let the name stop you from trying out this fragrance. Macho Man is the oil version of Arab Tradition made by the same house Nabeel. At$5 for a 6ml roller you won't find a better value for a fragrance. It's niche quality for pennies.
