About this deal

You'd think with a name like that and its association with a monster of myth, it would be extremely potent and overwhelming fragrance, that's where you'd be wrong. This actually has decent performance,for some reason with the passage of time it was getting stronger. From timeless classics to the latest celebrity fragrances and big name brands you'll find a perfume, cologne or aftershave you'll love at Superdrug.

Minotaure can be wearable all year long but I will be cautious to use it in hot summers, specially if you live in a hot humid area.Unlike Fahrenheit which has changed so much that I can't recognise it, Minotaure is still very true to the original. Paloma Picasso for women I have smellt, and that one is incredible, so I just wonder what the men's is like.

This batch has lots of ingredients listed yet smells pretty original-especially with real sandalwood. I would be curious to experience the original formulation, and can only recommend testing before purchase to make sure you really want to play in the Labyrinth that they have created here. This and DHI are probably my favorite all time scents, so I have a few different batches of both and my favorite it probably this 1992. I was lucky enough to score an unopened vintage 1998 Tester bottle of Minotaur, and man, I'm glad I did. Of course, saying that is like saying “ooh, he has blonde hair and blue eyes; I’m sure he’ll be hot.The basenotes on my fingers are a lot more vanilla-focused, which is nice, leading to a closer kinship with Zino. In a world where all the best scents and their flankers seem to disappear - I’m thinking of the Mugler A*Men line/flankers - Minotaure stands solidly and confidently ready to fill the gap. The current formulation in circulation by Luxury Products LLC may be a tad lighter than the original by Cosmair, but still offers above average longevity and average projection for me. Moving from NYC to Florida, I have worn it less - it is a Fall/Winter scent that can be difficult to wear in really warm weather.

A lot of people have mentioned that there is an almost plastic smell upon first spraying within the newer reformulation, I can't tell for this cause I have the original formulation from the 90s. The woody cedar and sandalwood notes merge with the sweet vanilla tonka notes into a well blended creamy scent that works really well on my skin.Whoever mentioned a comparison to the original Joop and Zino fragrances is on to something, because they are also two of my early favorites. It was a sample in one of my Mom's magazines (Cosmopolitan I think, haha) and omg, it was the first time I can remember feeling that special tingling sensation because of a scent. Homme ) but this slight sweetness did not make it unisex, Minotauro is a perfume of character, with strong notes, and like almost all perfumes of the time (especially those before 90's) they were loaded with notes and it was not easy to make an analysis of them dissecting the fragrance.

Galbanum and aldehydes—one of my favorite fragrances (Imari) shares these and other notes with Minotaur, so I was excited to try this fragrance. While I can't speak for the modern iteration, I can tell you that the Vintage juice is definitely worth the trip back in time, and feels just as at-home now as it did in 1992. Our luxury shoe sale also has stilettos, encrusted with crystals that won't go unnoticed on the dance floor, and over-the-knee boots in stretchy leather for a flattering fit.This is not an easy perfume, nor is it for all, but it holds many facets within it note upon note coming up. This can be worn by both sexes and does well in the office but would be better served during evenings or weekends. IT'S warm,rich,powerfull and aromatic oriental-woody-leather-flower-earthy,a trip in foreign,dangerous and far lands were women are not safe. As a big picture thought on Minotaure, I would say it smells "of" Almairac but not necessarily of the '90s. New formulations are considerably weaker , and not so dense than the OG bottles and the plastic cap looks cheap.
