Power of Seduction
by Antonio Banderas
Power of Seduction by Antonio Banderas delivers a bright, sporty profile with a fresh citrus opening dominated by bergamot and apple, layered over aromatic and woody accords. The scent evolves into a nuanced, slightly sweet and powdery drydown reminiscent of classic A&F Fierce, Mont Blanc Legend, and Dior Sauvage—effortlessly accessible, clean, and mass-appealing. It stands out as a versatile, well-balanced cologne that performs consistently across seasons, particularly favored in spring and summer. While longevity is moderate with a noticeable fade after several hours, many users report lasting effects beyond 8 hours on clothing, and its sillage is consistently moderate to intimate, making it ideal for daytime wear and casual to office settings. The fragrance is praised for being unexpectedly refined and not synthetic despite its affordability, with some noting it even performs well on women, though it remains primarily marketed to men.
