Puro Nejma for men

drydown is smiliar to Carlos Santana.
CS is good,NP is good so and more sophisticated

The first thing I smelled, right out of the vial, was teak, which I suppose is the mahagony that’s listed as being in the base. Teak at this strength gives the whole scent a stereotyped “drugstore masculine” flavor, which I could definitely do without. I also smelled a nicely done cigar tobacco accord, some citrus, presumably the lime in the “mojito”, and some generic sweetish-greenish notes, maybe part of the “cactus” accord, whatever that is. I don’t smell much in the way of spices, probably because they’ve been wrestled to the ground by the macho hulk of a teak trunk.

As the scent develops, a slightly boozy, sweet rum creeps in, complementing the citrus and tobacco, making for an interesting combination, like a lime and cactus fruit syrup that might be used to flavor drinks. Then the whole thing becomes distinctly powdery. The tobacco and teak and boozy drink are still there, but they’ve been bathed, had their little tushes powdered, snuggled into a sugary tonka cocoon and hung out to dry. At this point it becomes a powdery comfort scent and stays that way through the 8+-hour drydown. Puro is one of those shape-shifters that rushes out in one direction, then makes a 180 degree turn, and ends up as something entirely different. Not what I expected, but interesting.

Top notes of Delicious Cocktails...
Mojito is named ... but I get Dark RUM cocktails!!!
then pronounced SPICY notes of Cinnamon and Cloves
which is really yummy
then I get the heady warmth of
Tobacco and Mahogany!

this was an impulse purchase
that I'm soo pleased with ....

The other fragrances that I think are almost like it in its...
Sensuality and Lushness:

Tabacca Costamor
$75.00 50ML
and
Odori Tabacco
$210.00 100ML.
oh yes... lets not forget
Fumerie Turque by Serge Lutens
$98.00 50ML.

All these fragrances offer
something unique and unusual
variations of TOBACCO which I simply adore !!!

The freshness of burst mojito and spicy cinnamon are perfectly blended with aged rum note which result a fresh and sweet rich-addicted flavor.

Cuban cigar leaves together with mahogany and Haitian vetiver root enhanced the warm and its manly character.

I really enjoy sniffing this EDP. This is an interesting masculine fragrance with class. The bottle itself reminds me of a cigar, symbol of a man success.

I will definitely buy the other pair (Puro Intense) as well, cz I love gourmand fragrance a lot.
