Samba Skin Man

Wow. Smells almost identical to Reyane Tradition Insurrection II Wild (maybe a little more musky in the dry-down). This is fantastic and even less expensive! I think I paid $12 for this. Solid performance too.

A true pleasent surprise, this frangrance smells VERY nice,it smells like a expensive one but is affordable in any way. You should give a try.

Parfum yang jarang/belum ada di Indonesia, aroma sekilas mirip Mugler Pure Havane, SPL moderate. Worth it!

The note breakdown on this is a bit confusing. No tobacco listed?! HUH??? From what I recall when I owned a bottle of this...it was mostly sweet tobacco and vanilla with some woods and a touch of spice. Kind of a cross between Tobacco Vanille and Pure Havane. Quality smell and terrific longevity too for just a few bucks.

So for about $10 total (100 ml), I decided to go ahead with a blind buy. At first it smells great, but this dissipates considerably within a couple minutes. Then you get something between TF's Tobacco Vanille and Pure Havane, as others have said. This is more mild, less articulated, and weaker, but it doesn't smell as "synthetic" as I thought it might. If you thought it might be a good idea to layer PH with something else, you could use this instead. Overall, I'd say it's clearly worth the money, if this is what you want. UPDATE: The longevity is very good but projection is just okay. There's a bit of musk, which helps, but it's no "monster." On the other hand, the scent is quite solid, certainly better than I would expect at this price, even among others that are excellent "cheapos."

this is a great scent and decent longevity on me(which is rare). its close to pure havane and like $10. warm/cozy and sexy.tried and like havane and looking for a bottle if someone wants to swap one but the price is way more logical for me. I do like pure tonka and pure coffee and pure leather and pure malt so i would likely enjoy pure havane but its still $50 a bottle or so so for 1/5th of that its way more closer to it then the price would make you think.

Samba Skin Man reminds me of my favorite Mugler - A*Men Pure Havane, especially in the opening. It is pleasantly sweet, syrupy, and not cloying. Although Samba Skin Man lacks the sparkling quality of Pure Havane, for the price it is a pretty good substitute with average longevity on my skin. I really like it. If you have a spare $15, Samba Skin Man is a safe blind buy, especially in the colder months. Thumbs up in my book.

This is a weird one, not by the scent but by performance. The first hour it performs excellent and projects really well, made me think it would be a long lasting fragrance, but after an hour it suddenly disappeared becoming a close skin scent. The scent itself is really really good. It doesn’t smell cheap and as stated by others it is a good cross between Pure Havane and Tobacco Vanille leaning more towards PH.

Just "dug" this out from the "forgotten Bottles" section of my collection. Re- sniffed this one today...and wow....How did I "not" love this before..??? I get a boozey vibe from this. I am getting a mixture of TM Pure Havane AND Pure Malt.....???....and I am loving this. Performance is pretty decent on my skin so far. Under-rated gem in my book. Surprise !! for me.

Not trying to be funny, but that has to be the worse thought out perfume bottle design I have seen. It seriously looks like poo. The fragrance notes look decent, though. I'll have to check it out the next time I go test perfumes.

Forget what the notes say. This is a Pure Havane alternative. Give a try.
