Strong Me

I tried the different perfumes in this collection in the store and bought the 62 ml bottle. It is a perfume with a duration between 9 hours with a high average intensity the first 2 hours and a medium intensity the rest, which is very well maintained throughout the rest of the hours. For me it is a delicious aroma of rum and vanilla liqueur, it has a body, it has intensity and personality. It is very unisex, since when I put it on I feel the vanilla licosa so so selicious .... but when I gave it to my husband, he loved it, he feels masculine and it looks like a perfume of rum , with that touch of wood and a lighter vanilla. I feel an extremely sensual perfume, with a lot of personality and I love it. Surely it is not a perfume to buy blindly, you can love it or you can hate it. And being a man will depend on the degree you like sweet tones, because the aroma of rum is sweet and vanilla too. What is the plastic bottle I do not like, if it is different and original, it weighs nothing and I can keep it and carry it well in the bag, but I do not like the shape of that plastic shrink. Also for what they have told me they only sell it in 62 ml, without giving options to anything else. My conclusion is that it is a perfume that will depend on taste and personality for you to like, basically you must think that it is a kind of vanilla liqueur. And that is a very unisex perfume that will also depend on personal taste and personality. I love it.

What an amazing fragrance!!! Let me start by saying that I don’t like plum in perfumes, it’s too dark and sweet of a fruity scent for me... but I somehow love it in this fragrance... yes it’s still sweet and dark, but at the same time it’s also delicious and addictive! Now let’s talk about the name, Strong Me is and absurd and random moniker, this perfume is not strong in any way whatsoever, in fact it’s soft, creamy and powdery. All of the notes, with the exception of the Davana which is nowhere to be found, are recognizable and present, on the opening you’ll get the powdery and creamy Vanilla, the fruity Plum, the warm Rum, and a bit of the Metallic Notes which thankfully will disappear in just a few minutes, on the drydown the rum will also fade away and the Amber will be slightly more noticeable. It’s completely unisex, and better suited for cold or mild weather. Performance is on the lower side of moderate, almost intimate in projection, and with longevity of around 6 hours. A cozy, dark, vanillic and delicious fragrance!!

Absolutely have no idea why the Pacollection fragrances get such a bad wrap This is like REALLY good First of all the bottle is simply awesome It's like an iv bag or a Capri sun. And when you take the cap off it just feels... cool Then the fragrance itself is like a more mature 1 million elixir Not getting a whole lot of lucky here but this fragrance is really just delightful 9/10

Yum this has got to be one of the nicest vanillas I’ve tried I usually stay away from plum but it’s not very noticeable here The metallic notes with the woody/vanilla notes create something special and unique. I can’t stop sniffing my wrists!! Price is also very reasonable Edit: I also pick up caramel in this and something that reminds me of baccarat rouge.

What a pleasant surprise this one was. Got a tester for a steal on fragrancenet. The notes listed are exactly what I get. Boozy, vanilla, plum, with a metallic tinge. Smells spectacular to me, I'm a huge fan of all these types of notes. Performance on my skin was monstrous, and I like that very much. Well worth a pickup if you're a vanilla junkie like me.

Sooo sexy, an incredible smell, whenever I put it on everybody (men and women alike) ask what I've got on and tell me that I smell incredebily delicious. The liquor, the plum and metallic notes give it that special unusual sexy smell.

This is a vanilla sweet boozy with a metallic note in the back ground. Very easy to wear. If those notes sound good just buy this!

first - the presentation is in a plastic flask - like the one's you'd use to sneak liquor into a sporting event. A little strange. Upon opening the box - i discovered...a poster...which is gimmicky. However, on the back of the poster, it shows the entire paco collection along with note breakdowns. That was nice. Interestingly, plum is not a note listed on their official breakdown - and i don't get any plum in this. Disappointing. The scent itself...opening is strong and very deep vanilla and liquor with a base of fruit and woods - but by no means do the fruit/woods play a large role. The vanilla is the star here - and it does a nice job. Unfortunately, the more i smell it, the more it reminds me of 1 million lucky (which also listed plum as an ingredient - which i also did not detect). I suppose you could say it was inspired by lucky - and i don't think that's a stretch - this has less nuttiness - but the dna is there. That's a letdown, as i'd hoped that this would be something totally new. Overall i enjoy this more than 1 million lucky - which i felt was a letdown anyway. The signature paco sweetness is there - and some added depth. I'll put this on the good list - had the woody base been stronger, i think it would be a love. I paid full price for this - would recommend waiting if you already have lucky - or any other super heavy sweet/vanilla scents.

This had been on my want list for a LONG time, because of the notes and the comparisons to Mercedes-Benz Club Black (which I own and love). I finally found someone on ebay who sold it for 36 shipped, so I snatched it up a couple weeks ago. I somewhat get the comparisons to Club Black, but it is nowhere near close enough to be redundant in someone's collection. I mostly get the plum, vanilla, and subtle liquor note, which is more like a sweet liqueur as opposed to a stronger boozy note. My biggest complaint, aside from the TERRIBLE bottle design, is the performance. This comes off extremely weak on me, in both projection and longevity. If this were stronger, this would be a love, but as it stands this is just a like. Performance I'd give maybe a 5/10, while the scent itself gets an easy 8/10 from me. If you don't want to blind buy this like I did, message me if you're interested in a decant.

Another creamy, sweet vanilla scent in the same vein as Mancera's Instant Crush, but with stronger amberwoods and a touch of booziness. In Strong Me, the amberwoods are more textured and have more of a trigeminal effect (probably ambrocenide and the like), giving it more of a metallic edge and less roundedness and velvety coziness. Strong Me is also more affordable than Instant Crush or Vanille Rouge so if you like this kind of scent DNA, check it out!

This feels like it's been done before with fragrances like Khamrah, Vanilla Vice, and Angels Share. It's a warm, semi-boozy, tobacco, apple juice, and plum scent with ambroxan. Luckily, I don't detect the supposed metallic notes. Although, I have to say that when I compared it to Vanilla Vice, I liked Strong Me better, which surprised me. So, when I'm out of Vanilla Vice, I might get this one to replace it.

Weird masculine generic scent, the metallic notes are strong and just add an odd element, other than that it’s a boring fruity vanilla. Major pass.

This is without doubt the most nauseating perfume that I have tested in the last year. Overwhelmingly sweet and cloying vanilla that is impossible to scrub off and believe me I tried! I get no plum or davana at all. Amber and woody notes are there but are completely overwhelmed by the vanilla.

Mmm, I like it. It smells like a rum soaked cake. The metallic note makes it a little too harsh for me, I imagine it's more suitable for a guy. The opening is mostly boozy, and then it develops with delicious plum and vanilla. I am still waiting for the ambery dry down. It would definitely be a love for me without the metallic note. After two hours, the metallic note is almost gone. The intensity and sillage are still strong, but the scent is getting warmer. Pfff, I really love this. The name should be delicious me hahaha.

again, the packaging lists the notes a little diffrently. "Amberwood, Vanilla, Rum, Davana" with no mention of plum liquor. I don't get that anyway. On me, dark loud oud-y wood kills whatever else might be in there. It’s harsh black wood and tar with vanilla deep down under that. Argh. Terrible, loud, abrasive, unpleasant.

This is basically what I would imagine 1 Million Lucky Intense to smell like if it existed. One of the best of the pacollection. Good strength and longevity.
