Great smell with a Versace Pour Homme vibe. But very poor longevity… an hour at best. It doesn’t even last on clothing. Maybe I got a weak batch? I won’t even sell it on ebay because the buyer will feel ripped off buying a 30 minute fragrance. In the trash it goes. I gotta stop trusting reviews on this site and start testing more. No more blind buys for me.

I get similarities between this and Invictus, Eros and Le Male.
mabia – :
This really is a great fragrance – smells distinctly masculine and powerful and is well priced. Somewhat synthetic smell (which is probably where the contrasts to Invictus come from) but I really love this one, yet can’t stand Invictus. Will gladly buy another bottle once mine is finished

This is pretty much 70% invictus 30% aventus,I wore this to work and asked 10 sexi beautiful ladies did they like it and all of them either liked it or loved it,its a stand alone scent and it smells good and for $25 for 200ml is pretty much a steal and it last 7 plus hours on skin days on cloths,a solid 8 out 10 and a amazing sleeper cheapie but goodie…….peace
MymnPentAneve – :
There is no similarity to Creed Aventus (or its clones) at all. Also I don’t get any pineapple in top notes, only indeterminate sweet fruitiness similar to Invictus or Rasasi Hawas. There is also some freshness similar to Versace Man Eau Fraiche or Blue Seduction, which is great, but what I don’t like too much is strange bitter rubbery note in drydown. Overall it’s good perfume in style of Invictus, but more fresh (and much less sweet than Rasasi Hawas). But longevity is really bad and I miss ambroxan in base notes.
Yosh1 – :
Very synthetic musk-vetiver combo which is harsh and unpleasant in drydown. This was my last blind buy purchase.
For those who voted this smells like Creed – you have never smelled Aventus in your life 🙂

I see that scent a copy of the Aventus .. Calmer. Not that it is IDENTICO, only that compared with the same and its Similares like the CLUB of Nuit, it is clear the similarity, so that the King of Seduction, is more accentuated the fruit side, and much sweeter. Without having much the citrus side, just on the way out.
Nothing to do with INVICTUS, my God, where did you get that? Those who argue that it does not look like the Aventus, are the same ones that say that the Club does not look like the Aventus. Admit: The Aventus is an ordinary perfume. If it was cheap, neither fame would do.

batch number is D1071?? How was this fragrance produced in 2011? release time 2014?? please help me

A abertura é boa mas logo só ficam as notas aquáticas as vezes parecendo cheiro de detergente, dura pouco e a projeção também é bem limitada, o blue seduction ainda é o melhor em aroma mas também não projeta nada e dura pouco.

Antonio Banderas King of Seduction is really good. I got King of Seduction as one of my more recent blind-buys due to the Invictus comparisons. And I must say that I am sooo happy about it. After smelling it, I think I found my non-Dollar Store Paco Rabanne Invictus smelling fragrance however, it also has traces of Antonio Banderas Blue Seduction, Usher He and Reyane Tradition II Pure. I can’t really say Aventus because I’ve never smelt Aventus proper. This makes it stand on its own as oppose to say Azarro’s Wanted, Jimmy Choo’s Jimmy Choo Man Intense, Coach’s Coach for Men, Cuba Paris’ Cuba Winner, or any number of Zara scents including Blue Spirit, Seoul and Unshakable.
One of the notes that set it apart from most of the Invictus pack is the pineapple. This is where I feel it gets the Aventus comparison. That said, it is maybe more along the lines of fruity batch like Tradition II Pure, just more aquatic. A melon note in the top and suede note in the base makes this a lighter, far more aquatic Usher He. That said citrus and sea water notes ground this in the Invictus or even Invictus Aqua wheelhouse but not in an overly sweet way like many find Invictus to be.
It last pretty long on me, about a work-day (7 hours) and even just a little more. It’s alright sillage wise but the scent, price-point and the longevity are what make this fragrance a great gem. It may be just a little bit synthetic and 1 Million like to some but honestly in the semi-aquatic aromatic modern male scene, this is a great bargain fragrance and should not really be overlooked.
I rate this an 8. 7out of 10, mainly due to the only-downside being the sillage.

This is a nice clean citrus and fruity scent.
That you can’t over spray.
Use as many sprays as you’d like.
But bring a travel atomizer with you, to respray your fragrance. So you can extend and smell fresh all day.
I’ll take it.
Can’t smell it on myself after three hours…but others could.
Hopped in the car and received a compliment from my co-worker.
I guess on my skin…this smells like a fruity version of irish spring…”Um…Cool?”
I used nine sprays…both wrist, behind my ears, back & front of my neck, chest, front and back of my shirt.
Will I buy this again?…Yes.

Wore this today to work. It actually got a few compliments. Seems to have some lasting power in the warm Cali summer. Stayed around 4-5 hours after application. Although I don’t love this fragrance, I do not mind it, especially if its getting some compliments from the opposite sex.
ClaytonSolman – :
Sorry but i don`t like it. The scent has something marine but overall to me it smells synthetic and cheap. The Blue seduction is way way better.
ant0ni001 – :
it´s fresh, it´s cool, it´s warm, gorgeous, brilliant, mysterious, modern, it´s all of this, a well balanced perfume, well made and not expensive, i like it!
bogpom – :
Não sei se é do vetiver mas, lembro-me do odor do couro, que muito me agrada, amo perfumes masculinos, eu os uso, pois,
há algo de poderoso em estar com cheiros mais fortes,nem sempre docinhos
I do not know if vetiver but I remember the leather odor, which I like very much, I love men’s perfumes, I use them because,
there is something powerful about being with stronger smells, not always sweets

The King of ordinary fragrances? Maybe not quite so, but this really doesn’t stand out of the other members of Banderas Seduction family. Don’t need to look too far; Banderas Seduction Cool’s already had some take on Chrome Sport spirit. Not that fruity, sweet and watery that is the original Seduction, and not that sometimes sickly sweet that is the Seduction in Black, this King is something between (and perhaps, with a tiny fraction of Eletric Seduction in the formula), another pick yours among the other members of the Seduction family, not needing to get all, as I was in the way of doing. Yes not bad, but as we usually read, why bother? P.S. on second thoughts looks like more a mild variation of Eletric Seduction. Base notes come rather quick.

Received a sample on another purchase.
On me (note: I am a woman), it starts nicely as some kind of citrus with wood notes.
Unfortunately these notes quickly disappear to turn into something that reminds me of boring, generic aftershave. I do not get any suede nor amber nor most of the notes. I would be glad with the cedar and citrus notes I get at first, but they last nothing on me.
My brother tried it and he found it boring.
Garlonerlop – :
I light interpretation of the original Seduction, fresh and crisp. But I agree, this shares 1 million molecules, and that spoils it for me a bit.
Blue Seduction & Seduction in Black was considered modern-masculine & unique in a plethora of 1 million sweet synthetic clones and this interpretation had the chance to further that, but it fell a bit flat because of that likeness to 1 million; a synthetic suede cinnamon sweetness that lingers after the 2 hour mark.
Because of that, and and it’s lack of longevity, King Of Seduction should be dethroned.
As the queen on hearts would say, “off with his head!”
Olchik – :
Very fresh. A copy of Azzaro Chrome Sport with modern 1 Million molecules.
RUSSICHOLEG – :
he has been spaming youtube with his ad, i hate it, will never buy it cause of that
Gusartoglb – :
From the notes, looks like a possible Aventus clone.

How can you people dislike a fragrance if it’s not on the market yet? can you smell it just by looking to you screen?
