Andrés Croxatto Man

It actually smells pleasant, hard to detect the supposedly premium ingredients since it's quite straightforward. Mont Blanc Starwalker costs $20 for a reason, but it has an amazing aroma and quality - although I wouldn't pay more than $40 for this. Unfortunately, I paid 140 euros like everyone else. Only Andres seems to exaggerate its terrible performance; in reality, the fragrance has virtually no projection and turns into a skin scent within 15 minutes. The main reason I pre-ordered it blindly was to support the brand, but if I had another chance to buy this again, I'd save my money. However, I must admit that, smell-wise and regardless of price, it's really good - several levels above your average simple scent. I give it 8/10 for scent and 1/10 overall; it smells and performs like a decent $20 cheapie! 💧👎

This perfume exudes a certain level of complexity, albeit with a green accord. Unfortunately, it doesn't quite have the masculine edge I prefer, leaning more towards unisex territory. In an office setting, it would likely be suitable. After allowing it to mature for 4-5 months, I still found its projection and longevity to be underwhelming. Although I appreciated the sample gifted to me, I'm hesitant to invest in a full bottle at that price point.

The enigmatic fragrance with mushroom undertones. It's akin to a masterpiece ahead of its time, leaving many bewildered and unable to fully grasp its genius. I recall Andres Excutto boasting about the staggering sales figures, implying that those who don't appreciate this scent simply aren't sophisticated enough. Christian Carbonell astutely observed that the widespread dislike stems from the fact that it's too innovative for its era, much like a Picasso painting that requires time to mature and be fully appreciated. Perhaps, just as art critics rediscover masterpieces years after their creation, we'll one day come to understand and admire this fragrance's groundbreaking essence.

I've tried several scents from Chris Maurice, but this one still doesn't feel like his work to me. Okay, it's a pleasant fragrance in the Acqua di gio EDT vein, with more sophisticated undertones - it's on that path, after all, and we know Acqua di gio for its similar qualities, albeit with shorter longevity. There's nothing particularly groundbreaking here, personally I don't see it as niche-worthy, at $80 USD it would be an acceptable purchase, but I wouldn't pay more for this. I wouldn't recommend it, there are many options in that style and better quality available at a comparable price. Unless you're a fragrance enthusiast who loves Andrés very much.

After getting accustomed to it, I can discern that this fragrance is pleasant but decidedly more unisex than masculine. The opening is marked by a crisp green herbal accord reminiscent of gin, which initially suggests a strong masculine presence. However, the top notes dissipate rapidly and the scent morphs into a warm, musky-vanilla blend with subtle undertones of coconut. The overall effect is comforting and inviting. In my opinion, this is an inoffensive, office-friendly fragrance suitable for any occasion.
