Was told we would NEVER find Minotaure again
We were told this fragrance wasn't made any more and that we would never find it. The last bottle my son had was stolen, he was very upset over it. I finally thought to check here and sure enough you had it. He was thrilled to get it for Christmas, and couldn't believe I had found it. It is a great fragrance, all the girls want to know what it is, and they love it. I have to say the service was great. No problems at all and received it in record time.
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

Not so good experience..
I bought this perfume as a christmas gift for my father, unfortunately the price i paid for it was little compared to the trouble of getting it out of the portuguese customs, plus the 20€ i had to pay extra, making it more expensive than a Chanel 5. Thanks for the service anyway, the perfume is great.
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend to a friend.

Found just what I was looking for!
I have been looking for this product for a while! It used to be available in the big stores a few years back. My wife recommended this site, I thought that I would give it a try to see if the product was original. Glad to say it was & now I have a good supply! I usually shave in the evening & use this product to soothe & bring the bumps down. By the morning, face as smooth as a baby's bot!! Comments galore next day as a 52 year old face looks like it hasn't broken 32!

very beautiful{i love the 90s vibe}
i love it!!! i wish this smell stays forever on my skin!! but stays only for 5 hours..{5 sprays on my neck} the first 15 minutes is similar to nikos-sculpture. the drydown is amazing{i am never try roma uomo} light sweet- milky - warm - woody and leather. in to my nose ,i think is good for spring-summer and fall{cold weather may hide some notes of the fragrance and effect the projection}

I Love My Carpet
I couldn't help but notice the number of good reviews for this cologne on various websites. I was hesitant to buy it because of the price, but my curiousity edged me on. It is a wonderful scent. Subtle, fresh, a little complex. The dry-down is undeniably powdery. I've never had this cologne before, yet the dry-down gave me a nostalgic smell that I just couldn't put my finger on. One day I had it on driving to work, and suddenly it hit me! This smells like the carpet fresh my mom use to buy in 1980's when I was a kid. I laughed to myself, slightly embarrassed because I have to admit I still like this cologne. It doesn't smell poulperious, but you can't deny that it smells like that powder you use to sprinkle on your carpet before you vacuumed it. I might buy Minotaure again someday, but it won't be anytime soon at that price.
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

The old perfume is our new one.
My husband wore this fragrance when i met him 16 years ago. After a long pause with different fragrances, we decided to buy our old Minotaure. The smell is great and brought me back a lot of memories. Therefore, it has become his fragrance again.
