Diavolo

by Alain Muraour , Rosendo Mateu

Antonio Banderas Diavolo is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1997, created by Alain Muraour and Rosendo Mateu. Diavolo opens with Green, Bergamot, and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Pepper, Geranium, and Patchouli, and dries down to a base of Leather, Sandalwood, and Musk. Antonio Banderas's Diavolo carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh spicy-led wear.

This cheapie is hugely divisive; hailed as a Fahrenheit alternative by some, dismissed as a watered-down, fleeting disappointment by others. For the price, it's a solid, if short-lived, spicy-fresh leather. Just be ready to reapply liberally.

Its versatile fresh-spicy-leather profile makes it a good everyday grab, particularly for casual and date settings, but lacks the gravitas for formal wear. Its noted poor longevity means frequent reapplication is needed, which isn't ideal for office environments or sport.

About

Diavolo opens with a vibrant burst of green and mandarin, quickly spiced up by a prominent pepper. This fresh-spicy introduction then softens into a clean geranium heart, underpinned by an earthy patchouli. The drydown reveals a refined blend of musky leather and warm sandalwood, offering a non-sweet, masculine finish. Despite its complexity, the scent remains fairly linear once developed.
