We're talking the situations you'd wear it, affordability, scent profile with the coffee and sweetness, juice quality and finally performance, but the list could continue.

The fragrance I got me mainly because I like to drink coffee and also like the smell of roasted beans very much (as if you need in the perfumery as a break between the next fragrance sprint times again :-))This is a clean, light, sheer fragrance. I cannot detect, OOB or on my skin, ANY violet-y, dry, spicy, peppery, woody, vanilla, or warmth. None. And Youth Dew, Cinnabar, and chypres are my faves. They just are not present. It is all very sheer white flowers, moonlight and water. It is not soapy, it is not sweet, and it is definitely not powdery. I sense nothing plastic, banana-y, smoky, or incense-y.

In conclusion, is Halloween Man X a bad fragrance? No, it's actually really good for the price but it's not unique at all and it's totally redundant if you have Stronger With You, Azzaro The Most Wanted or Axe Dark Temptation. I suggest you to spend a littlle bit more and get Ferragamo Uomo Signature instead which yes, is similar to Code Absolu but it doesn't make it redundant to have both because they are different enough. By the way, performances on Halloween Man X are really good, easily 6 hours minimun of longevity. I have said it many times before.. The negative Nancy's that cry about some supposed synthetics or "headache inducing" is something that when you see those catch words you can just ignore that review. It is worthless to read. There is a reason this fragrance has a 4.25 / 5 rating... people LIKE it. There are 2 notes of violet so this is all about that violet although because of the water, it's like violet water for a bath. It's toilet water with violet scents, and almost, almost a lavender Everyone that smells this on me seems to like the perfume, they say it's so pleasant, and my girlfriend loves this one even more than JPG Ultra Male who is claimed to be a beast with the womenNight has its own scent. Can you smell it? It is a second skin. Or is it the first? Apple Martini comes out followed by an aphrodisiac ginger heart, finishing with sexy leather. No, do not open your eyes, yet. The night also conceals deeper aromas of musks, woods and cinnamon." EVERYTHING in perfumery has something synthetic. If you think a Tom Ford doesn't have synthetics, you are wrong. Perfumers are very good at creating accords. Sometimes they design them to be spot on and sometimes (purposely) to be a little off or different. aka "twist". Some essential oils are toxic and you do not want them on skin.. thank perfumers (chemists) for the synthetics. Some are IFAA regulated and illegal... thanks again to perfumers for exact synthetics so we can have these scents. Some are ridiculously expensive and hard to get... thanks AGAIN to perfumers for helping us get the same scent but much, much cheaper. Very healthy longevity and a decent sillage. Moderate projection, making it a good office or crowded space choice. Not offensive at all. This has been one of my favorite perfumes since I was in middle school (junior high), and to me, it deserves a place in the 'cult classic' hall of fame. It's understandable that the perfume isn't more popular since Del Pozo is a relatively niche Spanish designer, not Ariana Grande or Paris Hilton.
