Question:
Samba scents, although cheap, smell nice (IMO). I now have Rock & Roll, Ice, and Natural. I am also about to receive the original one (grey bottle) in a day or two. This one is a blind buy!
Please share your thoughts upon scents from this house. I also notice that Rock & Roll is made in New York, while the others in France. I trust that the former really do exist (although the box of Rock & Roll has no serial number), as I have already searched for info in google.
Which scents you have and like? I'm looking forward to hearing some comments.

Answer:
Samba Nova is one of the best florals for men I've ever smelled, although it's not for everyone. The original's also very nice, but very traditional in comparison.

Answer:
Not that I can see, no.

Answer:
I have the original Samba. It's pretty nice, but something I don't wear frequently. Inevitably, every time I wear it, someone asks me for a piece of gum because they think I'm chewing Juicy Fruit. For the price I paid, though, I don't regret buying it.

Answer:
I just got rid of the original Samba. I remembered loving it when I was in high school but just didn't seem to work for me now that I'm entering my thirty's. Still, not a bad scent, especially not for the price.

Answer:
I had seen two fragrance sellers and both said the original Samba is most popular. I can't wait to receive it, which should be tomorrow Friday.
P.S. Rock & Roll is nice, at the first sniff I thought it is in the same line of Xeyrus Rouge, but much lighter. I think it's a good clubbing scent.

Answer:
They're not sold down here much anymore. I was wearing Zipped Sport today, which is made by the Perfumers Workshop. It and all the Samba scents I've owned and tried have excellent longevity, and smell pretty good. Samba Star is my favourite.

Answer:
Thanks for more info. The seller here is looking forward to selling Unzipped but he said the cost is still too expensive.
Anyway, I'm wearing Samba (1990) today and think it can be a unisex scent, flowery and rich. I don't know why, but I feel sexy today!
