The Golden Secret
Antonio Banderas (2011)

Very nice! The Golden Secret is reflective of the original 'The Secret' but the added cedar in this flanker makes it a bit less sweet. It is pleasant and enjoyable to wear. Personally, I l'd like to see more longevity in The Secret line but the pricepoint is good. Recommended.

Young ladies do notice this scent but it's not a real head turner in my part of India.

The first time I wore this scent was from the deodorant bottle and that was a bit cloying at first. The eau de toilette spray was ok.

The Golden Secret is the only Antonio Banderas fragrance I've tried recently and it's a great clone of 1 Million at a superb price (on FragranceNet it's $20 for 100ml or $24 for 200ml), so with the original being so much more expensive, the main question to answer would be whether to opt for this over Cuba Royal, and the easiest answer may be that Cuba Royal is a bit brighter and The Golden Secret is a bit tamer, but they're very close to one another. Fantastic in terms of value and a spot-on replica of 1 Million, The Golden Secret can be a blind buy for any fans.

A nice suprise from Antonio BanderasA very good scent in itself - unique, cedar-based. Quite linear, but that is not a disadvantage here. A good buy considering the price. However, the longevity is a serious drawback, at least on my skin. Have been testing it for a couple of days - the longest it lasted was up to an hour.Pros: Very good scent for everybodyCons: Short-lived"

Fantastic Scent I bought this the other day on a whim, plus i had enjoyed Seduction in Black so i figured this might be worth a try. This has honestly become one of my favorite scents (in a collection of many high end fragrances). Many people liken this to 1 Million. It's nothing like it, it's not as spicy and it smells more fresh. The price cannot be beat, as this will run you anywhere from 20-30 bucks which isn't bad considering the quality. BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY. The ladies go crazy over it.... calling it "intoxicating" and "seductive" If there is one thing you really should be basing your cologne selection off of, it would be the reviews of women. Highly recommended.Pros: Long lasting, unique scent, not overpoweringCons:

I really love this scent. So much so I bought it for my husband.
