Day Eight of my Aromatix X fragrance reviews Today in 3rd spot - Aromatix X Forbidden Fruit Inspired by Lorenzo Pazzaglia Sun-gria At first spray the opening is bright and attention-grabbing with blood orange and bergamot, giving a vibrant citrus burst, while cardamom adds a subtle spicy twist that keeps it from feeling too simple. It’s fresh but also slightly rich, almost like a citrus cocktail rather than a standard fresh scent. As it settles, the fragrance becomes more playful and addictive with red apple and peach taking centre stage, creating a juicy, slightly sweet fruitiness that feels full and mouth-watering without being overly syrupy. There’s also a unique margarita accord and soft rose underneath that gives it a slightly boozy, smooth character, adding depth and making it feel more grown-up than a typical fruity scent. In the dry down, the fragrance turns warmer and more comforting as vanilla, amber and sandalwoodcome through, wrapping the fruitiness in a creamy, slightly resinous base. Benzoin and musk smooth everything out, giving it a soft, skin-like warmth that lingers and feels polished rather than heavy. Performance is solid on me, generally giving me 6–8+ hours with moderate to strong projection early on, leaving a fruity-amber trail that’s noticeable but not overwhelming. Overall rating: 8.7/10 This feels vibrant, juicy and slightly seductive - like a fruity cocktail evolving into a warm vanilla-amber finish - making it perfect for evenings, cooler spring days or anytime you want something playful yet refined with a bit of depth; it is so addictive. I can’t compare it to its inspiration of Sun-gria as never tried it so for what it is, 3rd spot for me.

Enjoying wearing Vulcan Feu today. I have a GOF decant with me and I can really only tell a difference in the dry down at the very end of the scent. The Tonka and moss come out more for VF on my nose whereas the musk of GOF is a little “smoother” to me. But overall a very good twist/clone IMO. Who (I see wearing this): This is a scent I feel anyone can wear. From young cats to us older, experienced guys. I can even see fortunate retired guys and gals wearing this. What (I smell): I get the Mango and Ginger in the top notes most prominently. In the mid the Mango combines with the praline for me but it’s not too overly sweet. As it settles I get the mango and only light hints of the tonka I believe. Where (would I wear it): I’m wearing it all day. It’s great for any outdoor or open setting and the mango smells fresh and clean like a mango body wash. When (would I wear it): I can see wearing this in Spring through fall during the day time. Warmer evenings would be great but when it’s cool I’d probably find something to layer on top of it. Why (occasion): this is something I would personally wear for casual or day to day work settings. It’s definitely inviting and not offensive but I feel it would be cloying if severely over sprayed. Performance (longevity on me and projection): the couple times I have worn this and tested it, I have easily gotten 6-9 hours and maybe a light skin scent around 10. Got a compliment from the Uber driver today too. Sprays: 3 up top, 6 on arm/wrist Overall Impression: I love this for the summer. Today I’m in Phoenix where it’s approaching 100 degrees and going to San Diego later today.
