Don't sleep on this one.
Very much akin to La Nuit, this is a dark, sweet, boozy fragrance that is right along the lines of what you'd call "sexy", and has excellent performance. The iris gives it a bit of a powdery feel, and is nothing like the lipsticky iris of the Dior Homme line, while cardamom and vanilla give it a certain sensuality. The lemon daiquiri accord, however, is a bit screechy and synthetic, at least for the first few minutes, but later on it has the effect of lifting the fragrance up out of a sweet powdery purgatory and giving it its own identity. I've also found that the longer I've had the bottle, the less synthetic and astringent, and the more creamy and smooth it's become. Compliment factor is very high with this one; women and men both love it. There might be better options for a night out fragrance, but for $20 for a 125ml, it's a good pickup. By far one of the best cheapies I have.
This is a really beautiful boozy fragrance with prominent notes of vanilla, iris, cardamom, and the drink known as daiquiri. It smells like a boozier version of Yves Saint Laurent's Le Nuit de l'Homme but with iris note instead of lavender. The daiquiri note is very strong in this, and this is one of the booziest fragrances I've ever tried (which is a good thing since I love those, and totally in line with the name of the fragrance being "Halloween Man Shot"). It's absolutely perfect for a night out, and would pretty much only work for nights in my opinion. Sillage is moderate while longevity is moderate leaning strong at over 6 hours. Overall it's a very nice boozy, dark, and sweet fragrance for men. I also love the bottle.
4.5/5

Very sweet synthetic and modern. Reminds me of La Nuit with the cardamom and then Prada L’Homme or DH with the iris. Doesn’t feel heavy enough to be like DHI.
Good performance, projection and longevity.
