Black Dragon

Smells very cheap and synthetic. The cap was also sticky..... Dont even wast your time on it.

I am a sucker for fugly bottles it would seem. I had to buy another item for free shipping and this fragrance was only $14.94 (100ml) at time of purchase. Without much thought, it obviously was a clone of Drakkar Noir, I put it in the cart. I, even at my advanced age, have never had Drakkar. So, Dragon the Tacky won. As a previous reviewer mentioned, the cap was sticky. It is plastic with something sprayed on it to feel like rubber. I imagine time and heat in storage brakes the substance down and makes it feel tacky. It easily wiped off with isopropyl alcohol, leaving a shiny plastic cap on a strange black bottle with a fau leather sleeve. It really is a beautiful disaster design with a polyester "sheath" with a velco fastener. They should have put a belt loop hole in the back, so, I could carry it at my waist like one of those multi tool cases. The fragrance, again as another reviewer mentioned, smells cheap and synthetic. Well, what did they expect it to smell like; an Almond Joy bar inside a freshly cut bouquet of flowers. As.I smell my wrist, it smells of imitation almond extract poured over flowers with a woodiness to man it up a bit. It is interesting in the air. You have to get your nose in it to smell the synthetic and, yes, plastic smell. It really is an interesting, different smell from all these sweet unisex fragrances that Bleu De Chanel has spawned. That one, among a couple of others in the mid-2000's, changed mens fragrance marketing. Now most new mens fragrances would have my father and grandfathers giving me side a glance and wondering if my wrists have gone limp. Though, I like BDC, I am more a Chanel Sycamore or Encre Noire wearer. Back on Dragon.... It has it's use somewhere. It is worth figuring that out. I like it, it projects and lasts a long time. Hell, it smells a lot better than these Oud crazy niche perfumes that dry down to the smell like open @$$.
