Pure Instinct

This stuff is incredibly smooth and we'll put together. Better than most brands attempt and the do-it-all blue fragrance that are already very popular. It's much better than Dylan Blue in all areas including quality of ingredients better than Coach as well, better than pretty much all and tied equally with what I consider the best three on the market, Blue de Chanel Parfum, YSL Y Le Parfum was the highest quality release now it's a tie between the EDP and EDP Intense, and Dior Savauge Parfum with the Elixir clearly not slotted into the blue genre. And it has better performance than all other than possibly the BDC Parfum which is just a beast of a fragrance. Scent wise the profile reminds me most of Salvatore Ferragamo's Acqua Essenzialle Bleu given more lift and pop up top, crossed with Carolina Herreras 212 VIP Black. And I love it. Being I prefer heavier fragrances blues with a strong Ambergris/ Ambroxan base are my go to in the heat, and this is up there with BDC PARFUM which is my favorite, but they just removed the heavier sandalwood accord from BDC and added a nice grey amber base to this one. Highly recommend and highly enjoyable. I don't wear fragrance for compliments but I have no doubt that this one will definitely make those that do happy.

This is an awesome blue dumb reach swiss army knife.This sits in between the following fragrances BDC,Dior Sauvage,Dylan Blue,ADG Profumo,YSL Y EDP and Chanel Allure Homme Sport Eau Extreme. It doesn't smell too much like any one of them it has the requisite performance 8 to 10 hours infact with strong projection for 2hrs soft projection for the remaining 6 to 8.Also on cloths it lasts 12hrs in the summer time and spring it's perfect. Furthermore this has the highlights of those fragrances with its own twist the fact that this can be had in the U.K for sub 50 it makes it a no brainer.A swiss army knife blue fragrances should never cost more than 50 as its something you use daily.Therefore you have to have the ability to replenish it easily.As such Chanel Dior etc prices are too high for this scent category

Man, I really love this fragrance. I've never smelled BDC, but since it's been so hyped for years, I wanted to find a cheaper alternative that doesn't smell cheap. Pure Instinct fits the bill!. From the few reviews I've seen on YouTube, this is very close to BDC Eau De Parfum. I get the grapefruit, pepper, apple in the opening. I don't pick up on pineapple though. Once it settles, I pick up on Cardamon, some Patchouli and the Amber and Cedar come out in the base. Smells like a fresh, clean, high end shower gel. For $40 this is a steal! On my skin, it projects for the first 2-3 hours and settles closer to the skin, but still there is a nice scent bubble for another 3-4 hours. Altogether, it lasts about 7-8 hours on my skin. I got a compliment the first day I wore it to work. I rate this an 8.5/10.

Picked up this gem not by choice though, bought me lady a gift for her birthday and she didn't like it, went to exchange the frag but she didn't like any others. So i ended up buying this. As far as i can say ....damn lucky! This is a great concoction, initial spray is fruity spicy and in the dry down the floral notes become prominent. I do not get any hint of leather though. It lasts on skin for easily 10 hours, on clothes too. the projection i feel though is moderate, although i don't know for sure, i'll ask around. Most of the SA western frags are clones of established perfumes, same as Armaf, Rasasi and Al Haramain. Mr. Edge (not on database) is a clone of TDH EDT Shawq (also not on database) is a fruity clone of Aventus Essence De La Vie is a clone of Versace Eros

A creamier less transparent juniper less version of Roja's Elysium the airy nature isn't there however the citrus/pinnacle fruit cocktail green crisp aspect is.This lasts long and seems to take the best aspects of all the blue fragrances and marry it into one.Whilst it may not be as well known as the others the quality here is very comparable.It also is affordable which is perfect for the fact its a fragrance which will be used as a daily driver. All in all its 8/10 the 2 points are knocked off for the originality that aside though this is great.
