A Review of Spirit, Cologne by Antonio Banderas

I have never been a fan of that Antonia Bandera's dude. He always looks sweaty, and stinky. I'm glad he decided to endorse a perfume...after smelling Spirit, I imagine the guy smells pretty good now, because the cologne is sweeet!!!

(So next door to my office, we got this new chick who is now renting the vacant shop. She is turning it into some weird wiccan shop... cool... but her and (I imagine) her husband are fighting, so bare with me. I hate writing when there is 'fighting' going on. I figure though, since they are disturbing me, I will incorporate what I hear into my review... you know, to make it interesting).

The Bottle:
 
Antonio Banderas Spirit comes in a very odd shaped bottle. Dare I say that it reminds me of a guys ball sack. Yeah I said it... but to be completely honest, that is what the bottle looks like to me.

The ball sack shaped (oh, a door just slammed!) bottle is made of frosted glass, the glass however is see through. On top of the ball sack shaped bottle is a metal lid that goes of the squirt thingie.

The Perfume:
 
It is red. It even looks a little girly, and looks like something a woman would buy...the ball sack shaped bottle and all could appeal to that lonely house wife.
 
(Oh something was just thrown... it hit the paper thin walls! This is going to get good man!)
 
The Scent:
 
So I held the glass ball sack in my hand, admired it's ballsyness, and decided I would wear the perfume for the day, for the sake of this review. Yep, no shame here. I review men perfume!

I sprayed some perfume onto my clothing and onto my wrists. I always do this to incorporate my 'last test' on the perfume. How long does it last on clothing, and how long does it last on skin?

First though let me tell you about the scent.... (Oh the F word was just tossed out there. From what I gather, he dun went and cheated on the lil miss! Better watch out, she's into those dark arts man!)

Antonio Banderas Spirit smells frui-tay! To be completely honest, I find Spirit to be a bit too feminine to be considered a cologne for men. The initial shot of fragrance I inhaled was something that smelled like dried pieces of apple. I liked it, a lot... but I am not sure a guy would find this fruity scent appealing. Unless he were a lil' fruity himself. (Which is WAY cool in my book).
 
Last:
 
Anyhow, after spraying Spirit onto my clothing and wrists, I went about my day like usual. By around noon I could no longer detect Antonio Bandera Spirit on me skin. I lifted my shirt to my nose to give it a sniff. Spirit was still present there, but very vague.

The initial high fructose scent was gone, and Spirit took on a new form of scent. I now smelled spices. Like pizza spice. I guess this is the masculine half of Spirit. Pizza spices!?

About an hour after that Spirit was no longer detectable. Overall I got about 3 hours worth of fruit and pizza scent.

Overall:
 
Antonio Bandera's Spirit is not awful. In fact I loved the initial fruit scent it gave off. I was not very fond of the pizza spices that followed up shortly afterward. I do think it is a unique scent, but not something a guy would want to wear regularly. In my opinion Spirit starts off too feminine, and then too foody. Plus 3 hours of lasting scent is not very much for the money you spend.

Pricing and Availability:
 
I am sure you can find this one available at local perfume stores. You can also find it online. It varies in price from, $26.00 to $50.00 depending on the size you purchase.

(She ran out of the store crying! That fight is a wrap!)
