I really hope the green leafy thing will tone down with time and something pretty will surface eventually. It doesn't really make you look forward to pulling off this oversized plastic cap that adorns the nevertheless above average spray head. This fragrance opens with top notes of heliotrope and cumin, followed by middle notes of bitter almond, jasmine, and sage. Projects well for about an hour but is completely unsmellable after around 5 hours on skin and clothes.

The dry down is beautiful, and I’m getting the lavender coming through, but during that harsh opening I felt the tinglings of a migraine beginning! Very nice fragrance, nice compliment getter, but the vibe i get are the compliments are just like "you smell really good" rather than smelling classy, or sexy, or powerful. Craze blends sweet, fresh, fruit, wood, vanilla, powder and a very strong and smooth almond note that stands out.That cumin hit me a bit too much at first, but quickly become supersmooth and sweet vanilla/almondy that i can smell all day, not overwhelming smell, just perfect.

Later in the dry-down some more floral notes begin to come through, very nice heliotrope, and the jasmine in the background.However, this is a nice fragrance, just not one to bury your nose into as it definitely smells better in the air. Acqua Di Parma Blue Mediterraneo Mandorlo Di Sicilia EDT is very sweet almond, vanilla, and fruity fragrance; Guerlain L'Homme Ideal EDT is an almond, woody, spicy and nutty fragrance, a very good one; Guerlain L'Homme Ideal EDP is very similar to EDT; Maison Francis Kurkdjian Baccarat Rouge 540 Extrait De Parfum contains bitter almond, floral, musk and woody notes, a superb fragrance; Parfums De Marly Pegasus Men EDP features almond, floral, fruity and woody accords, a great niche fragrance; Tom Ford F Fabulous is a pricy, sweet almond and leather fragrance. This is a complex, classy blend: easily wearable with suit and tie, or bomber jacket / jeans / aviator glasses. The cap breaking apart, the nozzle’s paint coming off and dripping, the snuggler kinda making the bottle slip from your hand everytime, ahah. In just a moment the bitter almond accentuates the almond note of the heliotrope; the lavender and jasmine are aromatic floral notes but nothing prominent.

Put the atomizer back with hot glue and I can tell y'all I officially have the cheapest looking bottle of Armaf in the game but I sealed it up nice, I couldn't get the plastic top back on but I went function over fashion. I won't compare to PdM Peggy because not everyone will be willing to shell out the money for something like that.I'll update this review with some qualitative and quantitative performance evaluations once I have worn it for a day or two. There is also a bit of a metallic smell, which is ok because it's only noticeable with the nose close to the skin.
