عطر فانتوم أو دو تواليت عطور رجالية

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When first sprayed onto the skin the initial scent is of a quite strong lemon/generic citrus/pineapple mix which is when it will get the most attention from others around you. After around an hour the dry down kicks in and the smell converts into a mix between confectionary vanilla and admittedly quite strong lavender. This is when its projection becomes quite noticeably weaker and requires closer contact from those around you to detect. There are a lot of different strong scents going on here, particularly sweet/floral ones so if you dislike these I would recommend avoiding this EDT. The performance you will get from this perfume is the average 6/7 hours you would expect from an EDT so whilst it will last a whole working day, if you want to keep the scent at its strongest I would recommend re-applying it at some point during the day. As with 1 million by Rabanne the outer packaging is relatively bare aside from the names of the fragrance and perfume house, leaving you with a silver and white box. Some may see this as generic and uninspiring whilst others may see it as a nice subtle box which is a contrast of things to come inside as the inside bottle is shaped to resemble a little chrome toy wind up robot. I have seen a bit of criticism online about this design choice with some calling it “tacky” “gimmicky” “childish” etc. I personally find it to be a fun little bottle design and can get behind the kitsch nature of it all.
