Paradero

Source: Scion International, Creation Lamis product line. Creation Lamis is worldwide available and has quite an amazing distribution, I have seen it anywhere in the world from Woolworth to Target to K-Mart. Paradero is from the "Deluxe" Line, which retails for more and is supposed to be of "higher quality", whatever that is supposed to mean exactly. Bought this one in Spain in a small department store for 6 Euros, which is also the price it about retails for on the internet.

Scent: This is very obviously Echo by Davidoff, Scion got it very well from the top-notes to the drydown. The stuff is really strong, the room smells like it after two sprays. I have a tester of echo at home so I am able to compare in detail. In short: there is very little difference between Echo and Paradero. Both have a synthetic smell and heavily remind me of Chrome by Azarro. They are very fresh and can well be used for business purposes. After a couple of hours, Paradero seemed to become slightly sweeter but this is quite a detail oberservance.

Lasting Power: More than 12 hours on skin, even way longer on clothes. No difference to Echo.

Packaging: Excellent, looks great with a unique design, however bottle is not overly practical.

Verdict: Definite buy for people who like the echo scent.

Random: Scion International is one of the biggest names in the imitate market. They have several product lines, with Creation Lamis, Dorall and Stitch being the most widespread. While Creation Lamis is supposed to be positioned as their top-quality line, dorall and stitch retial for even less but also usually with lower perfume concentration.
