0.99 euro?
1.30 dollars?
100ml /3.3 oz EDT ?
yes, in the chinese store. Dozens bottle at 0.99 euros....

I bought one and I feel embarrassed: bottle, box and juice for less than 1 euro. Not bad the metallic key on the cap!
By the way, it smells pineapple and woods. I'm sure all natural ingredients
Do someone know "Bongo for men"?

An initial burst of pineapple, then woods and leather. Not for my taste, however.

I would not mind buying a frag called "Bongo" (how about Bunga?). The quality of the ingredients is likely on par with the average mainstream male frag.

I'd be afraid that as soon as I sprayed it on my skin that my skin would just burn right off lol. I never buy anything from Dollar stores that go on or in my body.

Ah yes, Berlusconi's signature scent, I believe. Nothing but class.

Glad someone made the effort to find it in the directory and post a link, instead of just making cute comments without knowing much about it.
The notes don't sound too bad, actually. You can't go too wrong for a mere .99 euros (about a buck and a half).

Here in Croatia Bongo is a character from very popular children tv soap opera, he had some special powers and interest in chemistry :-) lol
This fits to the frag:-)

1 eur, doesnt the packaging cost more then that? If mobile phones can sell ever cheaper why cant frags too? Aromacemicals are like letters, why would someone charge me so much for just few sentences they wrote in alcohol? They don't put anything natural in designers too!!

We have lots of cheap scents in our Chinese stores - though I haven't seen Bongo. I suppose they are better than nothing, but every single men's one I've ever tested has smelled cheap and linear. Budget scents like Axe/Lynx and Addidas put them to shame.

One the women's scent front though, our cheap chinese stores were flooded for several years with the Sex-In-The-City scent range going for $5 per big bottle, and I thought them remarkably good value.
Cheers,
Renato

Absolutely right.
The "juice" in the designer fragrances costs no more than 2. Many people will not ~ do not want to accept that fact. You are just paying an EXTORTIONATE price for the brand name. A main british news chanel once highlighted the fact and went into great detail on the issue. It was fascinating and at the same time shocking to learn the true cost of the juice itself.
