Aromadisiac For Him by Avon, 2010

Nothing aphrodisiac about this, in fact it doesn't smell 'human'. It is straight fire and spices, very dry. If it was more wet and piney, it would be a perfect suitable substitute for Wazamba from Parfum D'Empire, a niche house. I have said it before, and I will say it again...a lot of AVON fragrances can sing the niche tune. This is not the greatest example, but it is one noe the less.

too heavy for my taste, i think it only smells like patchoulli, but is ok...

Armani's Code must be the most influential fragrance in the masculine realm of the past decade, perhaps second only to Armani's other best seller, Acqua Di Gio. A bargain outfit such as Avon might be expected to jump on the bandwagon with their own renditions of popular fragrances (and they have). Even higher profile marques such as Calvin Klein and Ralph Lauren seem to spend more time retreading existing offerings than developing anything new or exciting, so we can't just pick on the budget lines. From it's opaque dark bottle to its hokey name, Aromadisiac seems to be yet another Code spinoff. If you love Code but want something cheaper, this might be an acceptable option. As it is, I'm not especially enamored with the original so the downmarket doppelganger doesn't impress me. The longevity is fine but long-lasting ho-hum is still ho-hum.

A patchouli smelling, spicy kind of dark alcoholic deodorant with a dominant note of fig, mediocre projection and lack of longevity and complexity. It's absolutely linear and boring. I don't detect the presence of leather despite is listed somewhere. 

Aromadisiac for Him is one of the better offerings from Avon. A heavy, dark fragrance with a prominent buttery fig note over top a base of patchouli, sandalwood, and leather. It bears resemblance to Armani Code for Men. Lasts longer than a lot of Avon fragrances, as well. Don't be afraid to let your Avon-savvy aunt buy you this one, it's a real treat for the money!

Defined as a leather fragrance, I cannot smell any sort of note related to it. It is rather a spicy scent in its top notes, sweet but not overpowering, rather restrained, with some fruit-like note playing around in a extremely subdued "smells--like-paper" context.

To me, complexity, sillage and longevity are very limited, so I wonder this one deserves heavy application if you want to get wiffs of it for an extended period of time. This could be a reason for a hands down, but I like it. I guess it might be a good choice for situations demanding a very conservative approach to wearing scents.
