Pros & Cons
- ✅ The opening is quite lemony-citrusy but shortly after the ginger, violet and ambrette come in with a tangy fresh musky sweetness and it’s really quite nice. Not powdery despite the Violet note and not too amber heavy like some other Armaf fragrances. Vetiver and patchouli add a nice earthiness in the dry down. Works well in heat and better in daytime but not out of place on warm nights. Sillage and longevity are moderate-strong. Presentation is unique not tacky (Caballo is Spanish for horse) and love the magnetic cap. Suggested deodorant match : Lynx Black or Aqua Bergamot.
- ✅ I never owned Bvlgari, but this one reminds me of Calvin Klein All they smell very identical. It starts out Fresh and is sweet in the drydown, perfect summer scent. A crowd pleasing parfume.
- ✅ Very nice all year round blue fragrance. Smells very well blended and designer in a good way. I can Smell it on my clothes the day after.
- ✅ This ranks as my top three blind budget buy. It's fresh and citrus but with a spicy edge especially on dry down. 'Gosh you smell nice' was first time I wore it out, daytime outside with about 6 feet projection, but that's a gentle waft of breeze within an hour of applying. Id say it's a not a big projector, but definitely arms length. The spicy dry down lasts on skin the morning after, but the freshness fades quicker after maybe 4 to 5 hours, so you'd need to reapply if you want an all dayer, but it's cheap enough to cope! I'd say very versatile every day carry fragrance. Definitely masculine, smells refined and classy but also surprisingly fresh.
- ✅ This is where you have to stop believing influencers and negative comments here and do your own research, if you are in fresh scents and you want something bit ginger/grape fruit fizzy, fresh, citrus and tinge creamy(in a nice way) get this one, I don't BS like many around here this stuff is really good BUT with a big B it needs a little bit like few months to get it started, so let it sit and then revisit it, believe me it's way better then many, to me it's like a creamy version of BDC EDP with hint of Tygar DNA after you let it sit this stuff is quite nice! compliments? This one is the only one which got me the most in recent times... Do try out, it a hidden underrated Gem, grab as many before it's gone , you will thanks me later, is this blind buy worthy?100% if you in fresh scents which gives you confident and play safe with compliments then grab it

- ❌ I can't put my finger on it but there is something harsh, synthetically sharp and unpleasant about this scent; it reminds me of a nasty '80s car-freshner/cleaner. I keep revisiting it in hoping it will have matured into something wearable but it's not happened and it's now three years later. As for the packaging, it's such a waste of money and would have been better spent on rounding the scent up for a smoother ride. I'm so tired of all these UAE frags being churned out, coming in massive Chinese-produced jewelry boxes and excessively and extravagantly designed bottles, that I am actively avoiding these brands now. The vast majority of UAE scents are clones of each other, which are clones to begin with, and it's now just an echo-chamber of repetitious bs. I now much prefer to buy one good quality original scent than buy four cheap reiterations of a theme.
