Just because the batch code checks out doesn't mean it isn't fake still. Just FYI. 

I usually go with 3 sprays if I'm inside.

1 spray back of the neck. 1 spray on your chest under your shirt. 1 spray on your wrist and rubbing it on your other wrist.

Granted, I have only tried a couple but Liquid Brun does smell like Althair but has worse longevity.

I don't know about the dupe you mentioned but Rifaqaat does smell like Babycat, not identical but close enough. 

Khamrah does not smell like Angel's Share. They're more like cousins than twins. Definitely similar, but there's a warmth and smoothness in Angel's Share that Khamrah doesn't have.

What I would recommend though, before going out and blind buying a bunch of fragrances, go to a store and sample and bunch of stuff. Take notes and figure out what you like. Based on that, order some samples of what interests you. If you're set on getting clones, get samples of the clones directly if you can rather than the originals. If you have no intention of getting the originals, how similar they are doesn't really matter. All that matters is whether you like the fragrances.

They are from ScentSplit. I've had only good experiences with ScentSplit - they have so many perfumes to sample, and they always smell the same.as the full bottles I've purchased directly from the manufacturer after sampling.

Yeah, sounds like we have the same sort-of concern or need lol. The Jo Malone I have is just how you describe the dedcool one. It's light and fresh,  but it's gone from skin in 1.-2 hours tops. It does stick to fabric okay, though. I hope you find one that lasts!

I want something fresh and lightly fruity with a note of apple or pear or something like that! I’m no where near close to it yet! I like aura by dedcool which has a similar vibe to what I want but unfortunately that doesn’t last!

It can be tough, for sure. Sampling is so much fun, but I don't have a ton of space to dedicate to my collection. I sometimes worry I didn't get enough fresh/bright ones, but I love every bottle I chose, and I have more room in my 5mL decant case if I find a few I like.

Do you know what you're looking for in your last bottle?

Such a nice collection! So far I love everything I’ve smelled or tried by nest and their packaging is so pretty. The florals are so realistic it makes me happy! Warm cashmere is my go to bedtime scent it’s so cozy while reading a book in bed.

angels share smells like a cinnamon apple pie it’s soo yummy! definitely a fall/winter scent. glossier you doux and indigo nest are ones i’d be wearing all year round, unless it’s super hot or humid (that’s when i’d use sunkissed hibiscus by nest). fresh cream warm cashmere id wear during fall/winter as an everyday scent and burberry goddess during spring

It’s pretty subtle, in my opinion. I asked my pothead sibling about it too and they said the cannabis note sort of smells like someone smoked eight hours ago.

I’d be interested to hear how he likes them 😄 I’m a desert person myself (also a fellow oil painter btw!), love love love Vetiver, and have been searching for desert perfumes - but I’m looking for more of a southern African desert kind of vibe, and my only critique with Tauer perfumes so far was that they smell too much like American deserts to me. So I think that might really be quite good for your friend! Also from what you wrote I really think he’ll love black phantom. Good luck and lots of fun with your search!

Cowboy Grass and Lonestar Memories are good rec’s. I’ll add: 

Cactus Garden by LV, discontinued but you can get a decant from u/Upset_Ebb7989. Montagne makes a dupe of it

Torino21 is herbaceous and minty

Cowboy Kush by Boysmells. Truly smells like a cowboy, as I’d imagine it.

If he doesn’t mind florals, I also recommend Violet Ends by Boysmells. I grew up on a farm in the desert, and this perfume reminds me of saddling up the horses on a warm spring day when flowers are in bloom. I generally don’t like florals but I love the way it’s done here.

I was gonna suggest black phantom, but since that’s already on the list maybe try Ella K - there’s several desert themed ones, my favourite is Epupa mon Amour but that might be too dry and isn’t being produced anymore anyway. Black Afghano is write similar. There’s also Tauer perfumes with quite a few desert ones, that might fit his vibe even better than Ella K.

Olympic Orchids Salamanca and Tucson both hit on this, with Salamanca being more leather and clay focused and Tucson is more dry herbal. I find that they're Hamsa gives desert vibes too, as it smells like dry citrus, Palo Santo smoke, and bleached woods.

Also Piper and Perro Arid, which smells like dry desert herbs and orange

Carmina is beastmide and beautiful.  
Aventus for Age would be a second choice.
Creed's Love in White is a classic wedding scent, however.
The Kilians are nice but not wedding worthy. 
Queen of Silk is an acquired taste in a scent.  Depends on if it works for you.

Most Muglers realistically should only be sprayed once, in my opinion. I usually do a single spray of my Angel/flankers on my shirt and it will literally last days. If it has a difficult opening (Angel, I love you but your cassis &amp; melon combo at the start is gross), I may even spray the night before. I do the same for Alien because it is a *lot.* If it's fairly linear like Angel Fantasm, one spray when I put my shirt on is fine.

When the Rain Stops' opening isn't that impressive to me, but the drydown is where it's at! Sample it on skin &amp; see if you enjoy it-- in my experience once the opening dries down, it lingers and projects quite beautifully

and yeah alfred sung's aesthetic &amp; lineup seems like a simpler version of issey miyake, which is great to me because issey miyake is that awkward midpoint pricing wise where it's too pricey to blind buy but not expensive enough to try getting decants/easily findable in stores near me

Thank you for this list &lt;3 

I’ve honestly been intrigued by the Elizabeth Arden Green Tea line for a while (I feel like it would be so lovely for everyday.) I can actually get a bottle for really very cheap here too, so I think I might have to make a mission to go sample it haha

It’s also quite easy to find discontinued MM Replica here too, just because the department stores have so much back stock (case in point, I can still very easily sample and buy Matcha Meditation). I’ll have a scope around and see if I can try Flower Market… I remember trying When The Rain Stops a few months ago and not really thinking much of it, but I think perhaps I should go test it again! 

I’ve also never heard of Alfred Sung but I’m intrigued, as bottles are also very affordable here (and vaguely remind me of Issey Miyake haha)

Thank you so much haha, I just keep seeing reviews of how much people love it! It was even on its own little plinth in the Armani display! Now that you’ve said powder, I am getting powder more than soap on my (dying) test strip - it’s still just totally overwhelming the tea though :(

a pretty popular line is armani's acqua di gioia &amp; its flanker ocean di gioia (might be discontinued where you live), that one's solid but also at the same time, not outstanding enough to be worth the designer price tag for me. ocean di gioia in particular comes off as laundry detergent-like (but in a good way) to my boyfriend but i loveee the opening of it, so fresh!

the sweet spot of price &amp; performance is elizabeth arden's green tea line, specifically green tea lotus bc that's what i have. 14 USD off of fragrancenet, and even my citrus-hating best friend loves it! (it has yuzu and has a mildly citrus opening). only lasts a few hours, but it smells so good and is so cheap that i don't mind at all!

i blind bought a bottle of maison margiela replica's flower market (Discontinued but still easily found on ebay, mercari, etc) and i like it-- more green and complex than springtime in a park, it's basically a green floral with a bit of humidity. i dont get the "dewy flowers" effect some reviewers online describe, but it's nice and i'm happy i got a bottle

alfred sung's shi is a really nice and affordable aquatic floral according to my sister (bought it for her birthday, haven't had the chance to smell it yet personally)

i also enjoy clean reserve's rain which feels in a similar vein of light fresh aquatics

another nice maison margiela replica is when the rain stops. i dont love the pink pepper in the opening, but the drydown is sooooo good. it's a very clean aquatic floral (apparently rose) that lingers and projects nicely, i can smell it for 10 hours after application. truly underrated imo

I agree SO much with Armani the Yulong!

I love tea fragrances (part of why I adore MM Under the Lemon Trees) so I was disappointed when I tried the Yulong bc it’s so hyped up. When I think tea I think fresh and crisp and green. The Yulong is so so powdery it overpowers the tea note.

Thank you :) I know, I generally don’t see much mention or fanfare for Un Jardin a Cynthere, which is crazy given how lovely I find it! Incidentally, Hermes is actually having a sale on that perfume right now (thank you kind and helpful sales lady), so a certain Un Jardin a Cynthere - loving partner might be gentle nudged in that direction with mentions of my birthday at the end of the month ;) 

I’d love to try A Grove By The Sea! I’ve seen a few perfumetok creators mention it and it sounds SO good. Your description adds to that! Unfortunately, I’ve got no way of smelling it, as it’s unavailable in my country  (the intricacies of the South African postal service and import tax do not in any way help this) :( I’ll be adding it to my list of decants that I’m going to ask my sweet friend in the US to bring down for me when next she visits, because it really does sound like I’d love it :)

Aw yay :) I’m so happy to hear that my writing made you laugh! 

Un Jardin a Cynthere is definitely worth a revisit in my opinion. There’s quite a blast of lemon-y citrus in the opening, which I think can be a bit misleading, but it fades quickly into olive tree pistachio goodness, with a little hint of citrus. 

I know I see Wood Sage and Sea Salt mentioned a lot in the Jo Malone performance discourse. I would have liked to have done it more justice in the review, but I straight up could not smell it when I got home. My partner could, though, so perhaps my “anosmic to literally every scent after 2 or 3 hours” also strikes again here…

I’ve also recently discovered the world of aquatic florals and I’m really enjoying them! I think the aquatic-ness helps to mitigate that cloying and sometimes heavy feeling that I find a lot of florals can have.

I had a look at the notes and the Sichuan peppercorn in this sounds so intriguing! Thank you for the recommendation:) 
Alas, I don’t believe Noyz is available in my country (South Africa), which incidentally also does not have a particularly functional postal system :( I’d love to be able to smell it one day, and I think this rec will be great for other smoke lovers who live in areas where Noyz is accessible:)

Loved reading your reviews! I think that particular Hermes is highly underrated (great for us since you can often get it on sale). 

If you love olives, I beg you sample A Grove By The Sea from Arquiste. It’s one of the most unique scents I’ve ever tried. It smells like sitting by the sea in a cafe where you’re waiting on your order and they brought you olives in brine to snack on, and there’s a little rosemary plant on the table.

Love your writing style! I was laughing out loud at the cap-dropping anecdote, that would be me too. You make me want to revisit Un Jardin à Cythère, it wasn’t my favorite of the Jardins when I tried it but the olive has me intrigued. And I agree with you, Wood Sage &amp; Sea Salt is the stereotypical “Jo Malone has poor performance” scent while a number of her others (Fig &amp; Lotus, Poppy &amp; Barley) perform quite well to me!

springtime in a park was my gateway to designer/mainstream perfumes! i smelled it, had to look up what was in it, then discovered the world of aquatic florals (pear and lily of the valley, my beloved)

funnily enough, now i dont particularly like springtime in a park.... (it's fine, like 3/5, but i'd rather smell ocean di gioia yk?)

You should join a local Facebook fragrance group! I'm part of the Canadian Fragrance Exchange and people decant their stuff there all the time but obviously involves a degree of trust. Babycat and Kilians are popular. 

I buy supplies from Temu if I'm not in a rush, otherwise Amazon for quick stuff. Recommend metal atomisers vs plastic - the plastic atomisers tend to have a fishy smell when you first open them (not kidding). I usually combat that by doing a little (like 2%) squirt into the cap after I've decanted and letting it dry. That way when the person takes off the cap, it has a nice little perfume scent.

Decant using a dedicated syringe. If you plan on selling big sizes, buy big 10ml syringes. Some perfumes are weird and won't let you draw liquid up easily so you have to pump them to draw it out, spray by spray lol. Wrap a tissue around the base when you have to do that so it doesn't go everywhere. When you draw up, draw just under the amount you need. If you fill too much it will leak. If you over draw and are unable to get it back in the bottle, make an extra little decant or sample.

Offer tracked and untracked ship. Depending on where you are it can go by post with a stamp - make sure the people are aware loss and/or breakage is on them, etc. Pics of your vial next to the full bottle are nice to give people some reassurance. Then a video when you post it. Don't take forever to post it - or tell the person if you have a busy life how many days they can expect to wait. Also make it clear if you have X MLS remaining. No point wasting time discussing 10mls when you only have 5 left.

Be wary of leakage and the time of year/season when you ship. Sometimes the screw-top vials can unscrew themselves in transit which can suck, or contract/expand/freeze during winter. Combat this by leaving some space at the top for air and sealing with thick electrical tape (don't do Glad Wrap or cellotape, it doesn't work). To prevent leakage entirely I recommend crimped vials like Evrair.

Make a spreadsheet listing your scents along with any other things you want people to know. Mine has fragrance house, fragrance, price per ml (I do 2, 3, 5, 10ml), the perfume notes, accords, and my comments. If you use a spreadsheet, freeze the first row so it's visible if you scroll all the way down. In the same spreadsheet but different tab, you can work out your prices by listing what you paid, how many mls, the price of all your supplies. Make a formula to calculate the price per ml.

I'm in Canada so I only do payment by etrans which is almost immediate. Don't send anything without verifying you received the monies first - people can be sneaky. Also don't let them bully you into doing it cheaper, unless you don't mind making a loss. Most of the time I try to break even, to recoup what I spent on a bottle/supplies so I can use it to buy other decants. Sometimes I give a little off if they get multiple or I include a free sample of something I didn't like (lol).

Supplies you'd need: 

* Vials (metal, maybe marked with MLS on the side helpful)
* Syringes + adapters (adapters stick on the end of your syringe to fit over the nozzle of the bottle)
* Label maker (if you want it to look nice, otherwise you can try writing on paper and taping it but personally I enjoy labelling mine and tend to relabel any decants I buy that aren't cute. I enjoy going through and finding the actual logo and font to make it look nice)
* Little bubble mailers (if you want to ship like that) or little cardboard boxes, sized to fit to mail standard
* Bubble wrap or finger wrap gauze (thinner the better, if you ship untracked bubble mail, you have to go light on the cushioning otherwise it goes over the size limit. You want some padding but not too thick)

Hope u enjoyed my essay 😂

Actually, it's quite an old perfume so it can be. I occasionally steal it from my auntie so I never really bought it. And yes, Mugler likes to do something nice and then make sure it disappears hahah. So pity. Like the Alien fusion that I have was from 2017 and I still have it but I didn't see it around since ages. Also I have the feeling Womanity is discontinued, pity.

I personally love Alien and the original one is the only one that to me kills everything else. The other versions that came out are okay (only one that I really liked was the red fusion, but discontinued unfortunately) but never convinced me it was better than the original one.
From the angel range all of them are so gourmand and strong like a bomb 🥲. Especially the latest one. But there is this other one from Mugler that smells literally like chocolate it's called Muse omg so nice, better than the Angel for me.
Then there was this series which was more salty style called Womanity. Very nice!! If you love the smell of the sea you would love this one.

Even the man's perfumes from Mugler are quite amazing.

I haven't tried the Nina Ricci, but I looked at the scent profile and it has raspberry top notes. Have you tried Angel's Share Paradis? It has a syrupy raspberry note that sets it apart from the original Angel's Share. It may still be more of a fall/winter scent though.

I love all Mugler's ranges even the ones that now are discontinued, especially Alien fusion. But Aura was so hard to like hahah it's very herbal and too clean/musky for me. My auntie said it smells like medicine lol.

Oakcha has several, Berry Bonbon is a new one, great for the summer since its fruity and boozy.
Secret Lagoon is another fruity boozy one that leans Fem.
Libra Elixir and Speakeasy are other great boozy scents that she loved.

My fragrance journey has brought me to a similar place when it comes to flankers! I always find that since they tend to share scent DNA, the one I like the most is the only one I want to use. That’s why I opted to return my OG Black Opium travel spray (unused) after buying a travel spray of Le Parfum, especially because I received samples of the OG with my order of Le Parfum. I much prefer Le Parfum and decided the OG would barely get used, and sure enough, my samples of the OG went untouched 😅.

Heyy fellow tracker!

I felt the same about Mancera - didn't dislike any of them! Good performance, good price. Just an overall really great house to me.

The clear winner for me was Femininity.

I don't really like Delina but love Delina La Rosee. I need to wear the Exclusif a few more times. IIRC, I disliked the opening but liked the eventual drydown.

Oh wow! Do you have a Parfumo account? I'd love to follow you. I've sampled around the same amount this year but only cross over with you for about 15 of them. Donna Born in Roma is one of my favorites too.

Great mix!  I've samples tons too and I put them in a notebook in the first few months of doing it, but then I sort of dropped the habit.  Super fun list with a great variety.   And your top 10 is a good mix of designer and niche too!

That is interesting! I used to like Chloe too, dunno what happened. I found the Leau intense one better!

Also yeah same on all the Burberry Her, I stupidly bought this one (EDT) and the dry down is so sour and yuck 🤢 

Tres Chere is very different, it's like a really refined beautiful Burberry Goddess with a bit more freshness and a more complex dry down, I absolutely love it.

Super interesting, thanks! I also can’t stand Burberry Her, but have grown to love Chloe EDP.  Crazy how much preferences vary between us perfume aficionados. 🙃

I’m a fan of Gabrielle and Idole too and could see myself choose them as a signature (haven’t tried Tres Chere so can’t say!) - great picks. 😊

Ah good questions!

Ones that stood out as a firm no were
- Mugler Alien
- Chloe EDP
- Burberry Her
- Elizabeth Arden White Tea
- Caroline Herrera Me First

Some of these are weird because I liked the opening but many had a headache inducing very powdery dry down.

Gabrielle was my signature scent for years, and recently found myself reaching for Idole pretty often, but I find the choice driven a lot by versatility and longevity. 

I could honestly see Mizensir Tres Chere being *the one*

I do like rose! It needs to be refined and delicate though, with a balance. I found the rose in Diptyque Eau Rose too clinical, and the MFK ones were too rose for me. Really disliked Delina, but the more Rose it got (La Rosee) the better. Maybe I'm just an oddity haha. I'd have bought Rose Atlantic if my skin didn't eat it up in 5 minutes. 

If you have any recommendations for me, I'm all ears!

There is quite a bit of rose in your top 10. And the likes of DBIR is jasmine with your needed fruity sweetness. So that makes sense !

I honestly don't rule any notes out, after some of the fragrances I learned to love. Coconut, I'd say no if you pushed me. Tuberose, I wouldn't rule it out. I don't dislike florals in general, but I find that overly floral scents don't do it for me, I need... something else in there, especially something to bring some natural fruity sweetness.

It’s a combination of me not enjoying some of your 10( eg, I dislike Gabrielle but love Gabrielle Essence) and I would choose a different 10… I take it you’re not a huge fan of coconut or tuberose ?

It's just... such a wonderful scent. I went to bed smelling my arm and dreamed about buying a full bottle. It's so beautiful, it has a soft, intimate side, but it's also quite striking in its own way. I've already ordered a 10ml decant. Only downside is if you're looking for crazy projection and longevity it's not gonna blow you away in that department.

Great questions!

What set those ten apart? Well, it was really hard to narrow it down to just ten, and when I did I tried not to over analyse it. You know sometimes you just click with something, a song you hear and just adore it, a movie that just speaks to you, kinda same, sometimes I just felt like I had a close connection to a scent. When I came to make the top 10, some of them just rose up above the rest and picked themselves!

Full bottles - I'm a bit embarrassed to say my full bottle list is around is 19, and full of mis steps, impulsive decisions, gambling on cheapies, or ones which I later found a better version of. 

Notes - honestly this is hard because I started out with a really pretty narrow idea, and dismissing certain notes of hand, only to have my preconceptions toppled and eroded by certain scents. I've grown to appreciate many notes but I do feel my favourite scents blend the notes in a way where they become better than the sum of their parts, and where no one note is so obviously prominent. Is this a cop out of an answer? Maybe a wee bit!

This is one of my top 3 favorites, and I can't hold it with one hand, because it slips out when I try to sprinkle the perfume. I have to hold it with both hands, which makes the application rather awkward, but I still buy it and will continue to buy.

As if a firm would change their manufacturing process for a single customer 😆

OG Lolita Lempicka. I love the shape, textured &amp; painted bottle. I love that the atomizer is the apple's stem.

Obviously, I love the Be Delicious line apple bottles, too. They're a little more subtle, but the apple suggestion is clear.

I love the look of most, if not all, Britney Spear's perfume line, but I don't own any.

I like at lot of the Mugler bottles.

Way WAY back in the day I loved the Liz Claiborne bright triangular casing for the perfume.

WAY WAY WAY back I love my grandma's Moon Drops frog. Still have it.

The bottles from the Dior Miss Dior line, Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy line, Kilian Liquors collection, Britney Spears Fantasy line are some of my top favorite bottle designs. 

I adore the thick, weighty glass, houndstooth engraved glass, cursive writing, smooth atomizer, and cute bows of the Miss Dior line bottles. They make me feel like a pretty princess whenever I use them or admire the bottles. The design is part of the reason I collect them. 

I’ve loved the thick, weighty, usually beveled glass bottles, diamond caps that scatter rainbows, and pretty bows of the Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy bottles since childhood. I still do, which is a large part of the reason why I collect them now. They are so girly, feminine, and whimsical and they remind me of the McBling aesthetic, MyScene dolls, and Bratz dolls 🎀💕- all loved by me now and back then. 

The Kilian Liquors collection has such luxe, fabulous glass bottles. I’ve always loved wine and liquor glasses since childhood and would always prefer to drink my water out of them. I loved the design of Kilian Liquors collection for that reason. I do not own any of the full size bottles though - only a travel spray of Angel’s Share and a sample vial of Apple Brandy. The travel spray of Angel’s Share is one of my favorite bottles too though. It’s just so beautiful in its simplicity. I love the gold, the font, and the thickness of the glass.

My other favorites that are individual bottles include the Avon White Cat, Anna Sui Secret Wish, Lancôme Idôle (specifically the miniature!), Lolita Lempicka Lolitaland, Miniso Creamy Charm, Black Opium Le Parfum (specifically the travel spray), Lolita Lempicka Si Lolita, Dolce &amp; Gabbana Devotion, Estée Lauder Private Collection (the vintage coffret) and Kathy Hilton My Secret. I could wax poetic about all of them but then this post would be years long 😂.

Amouage Cristal and Gold. I think these are beautiful and appreciate the artistry that goes into each one. Well out of my price range to own, though.

Although Angel is awkward to store, I find the star design to be pretty ergonomic when I spray it. I tested Ariana Grande's mod vanilla and blush and that is such an annoying design, made me appreciate my stars all the more.

Mugler Angel - it's a design classic and handily doubles up as a deadly weapon! It's awkward but beautiful.


Honourable mention for Cacharel's Lou Lou in the taller oblong bottles.


My granny used to wear it and I remember as a kid always thinking the bottles looked like a Dalek from Dr Who 😆. As an adult, I do like the really Brutalist shape teamed with the blue and red colour scheme. It's not pretty, but it's a real statement. 
The round bottles are delightful and I love that vintage dressing table vibe, but they just don't look like a dodgy baddie from a creaky old 70s Sci-Fi series enough for me 🤣🤣🤣

My choice is: Guerlain extrait bottles (Shalimar, Vol de nuit, Mitsouko) and their exclusive limited editions. The most beautiful to me. I don’t own any of these bottles unfortunately because of the prices: the extrait are very expensive (maybe I will treat myself with one in the future tho) but the special editions are on another level of insanity (about 800€ a bottle). I’m okay with admiring them just in the pictures.

I also like Drunk Lovers. Maybe try Coffee Addict by Theodore's Kalotinis? It cuts through the caramel with coffee and is almost watery on me. Panettone by Milano Fragrance has this very slight citrus, spiced feel. Tokyo Nights by d'Annam is really nice fruity, smoky scent that is in a similar vein to Drunk Lovers.

You don’t have to make yourself like gourmand, I also hate floral scents with a passion I don’t even know why. I love it on other people tho, especially on my mom. She’s florals and I’m gourmand girly. All I’m saying is, don’t spend energy on the gourmands just go ahead and embrace what you like and the right gourmand will find you lmao it’s so cliche but it’s true! It always comes when you don’t actively want/search for it.

But that being said… have you tried smelling Nobile 1942– La Danza? Everyone says it smells like apple pie but on me it just smells like ripe apple. It’s very sweet tho but not gourmand-y sweet.

You might like Gucci flora gorgeous orchid. It's a beautiful slightly floral light airy vanilla. I love it &amp; it layers so well with most things. Or I want choo le parfum - gold bottle - it's a "fruity floral gourmand" ig. I smell sweet sultry skin like woody goodness. Idk how to describe it &amp; haven't found anything similar. Alien goddess INTENSE bc the coconut isn't fresh coconut, more baked coconut, &amp; the woody notes balance it so perfectly (plus I love benzoin). Donna Born in Roma intense is an Oriental floral, it's the perfume that got me into vanilla bourbon. It is SO sexy. Makes my eyes roll back. Mia Dolcezza by Maison Alhambra is a super affordable alternative.

My gateway "gourmand" is Mont Blanc Signature. It still smells perfume-y which is what I like. Not edible. Many vanillas smell like playdough to me. And powdery-vanilla reminds me of BO for some reason. I find it really brings out some peoples natural scent.

I am also a gourmand hater but there’s a few things on the fence that I enjoy that could potentially be considered gourmand: rice and tea scents. D’Annam White Rice is the best example of this as I wanted photorealistic rice steam and that’s almost what this gives. Teo Cabanel Je Ne Sais Quoi is a ricey matcha. Arielle Shoshana Monday is a photorealistic London Fog latte to my nose.

hoooo boy my time to shine! My actual gateway was **Knead**...yeah, the joke pretzel perfume by Auntie Anne's. I couldn't get enough of the yeasty, salty notes and started my bread perfume journey.

True bread scents are hard to find IMO because everyone wants to make sweet pastry scents, but what if you just want to smell like bread y'know? Enter: **Barmbrack** by Fyrinnae, which starts off herbal and funky, but leans into buttered wheat bread with a heavy emphasis on the butter but almost no sweetness. Fyrinnae also makes a much-lauded **Focaccia Toscana** as a savory bread gourmand and I haven't sampled it yet but it's in the mail! Also a shoutout to **Kitchen Table** by Cardinal Scents on Etsy- it's a bread + woodsmoke scent which works really well for an authentic bready fragrance and I haven't seen anyone else talking about it yet.

i'm not a big fan of most gourmands either (both in the way of vanilla/sweet scents as well as spicy/aromatic notes)

interestingly enough, in my social circle, no one i know likes gourmands... but then online, it seems like the prevailing preference is in favor of gourmands. either way, plenty of perfumes out there to enjoy for us all

i recently acquired torino 2022 by montagne parfums, which is a dupe for xerjoff's torino 22. i don't know if it's fully gourmand, but it's got saffron and it's spicy in a way that intrigues me

Are there any specific gourmand notes that you dislike? That would make recommendations easier since gourmand, just like floral, warm, or woody, is a very broad category and different types of gourmand notes are vastly different. 

Also, have you tried any fragrances that focus on lighter gourmand notes and have light sweetness levels (if you find moderate to heavy sweetness suffocating - I know sweetness levels are somewhat subjective though)? Do you like lactonic fragrances? I find that those tend to be lighter and wear closely to the skin. It’s one of my favorite fragrance categories. 

Another thing you could venture into is more savory or nutty gourmands. Maybe try scents with rice, sesame seed, walnut, pecan, or macadamia notes?

Personally I'm in loooove with sweet &amp; gourmand perfumes only, but it's mainly because I've always been addicted to candy, sugar, &amp; bakeries and I love the inspired scents and I just feel like it completes my identity, sometimes we have different taste and that's okay! It's always about what we resonate with, but I suggest you to try perfumes that have florals like jasmine, violet, lilly so u can have best of both worlds and a lil touch of sweet so you can find the perfect balance with what you like and slowly transition to fully gourmand

I know what Anise smells like. But for me its the First thing I get when I spray Egoiste. After 5-10 minutes Drydown the smell goes away but in the very beginning I find it very dominant. Its not certainly pure Anise but it is what describes it the best for me

Get the real if you can afford. Real Naxos is an insane beast of a fragrance. Probably like top 5 ever made. A clone can never reach this amount of perfection. Its just a different experience. But if you cant afford just as me just go for voux elegante its probably the best bang for the buck. Its sweet and masculine but it kind of misses the deth it smells a Bit more synthetical and less warm and spicey.

I would consider praline to be the chocolate note in Kismet Magic. You will notice, Khamrah, Sharaf, and Kismet all share this praline note (chocolate). Praline note: caramel, nuts, and chocolate confection.

I haven’t tried Qahwa, as many report it dries down to Khamrah and owning both is redundant. Qahwa adds Cardamom, ginger, coffee, replaces dates with “dried fruit”, and removes the Akigalawood. The dates and Akigalawood combo is the magic of Khamrah imho, so I haven’t been as drawn to Qahwa.

Rifaaqat does not smell like burnt tires to me. I can see how the profile wouldn’t appeal to everyone bc it’s is more on the unique, daring side of vanilla. Think spicy, dry vanilla, with saffron, suede, cedar base. Dries down to such a beautiful vanilla and the performance is unreal.

Also highly recommend Lattafa Liam Grey if cardamom spiced earl grey tea with green fig, creamy sandalwood, and dry vanilla appeals to you. So cozy and comforting with a dry coconut like quality.

Kismet Angel and kismet magic are the same and a must if you like angels share (cinnamon and apple pie, etc). Kawah is not as good iMO (more coffee like), though still good. The others I haven’t smelled but heard that Qamrah and Zimaya are also angels share inspired. The last one I have no idea about (Teriaq).

Liquid Brun is probably my favorite vanilla forward fragrance, followed closely by Rifaaqat (I’m FM). Rifaaqat is spiced with black and pink pepper so probably not what you are looking for. Both are extremely unisex. If fresh bergamot, sticky dates, warm cinnamon, and Akigalawood sounds good to you, Khamrah is a steal and a fall/ winter staple for me as well.

That's a hard question to answer for me a smoky patch of aventus is honestly speaking unbelievable and unbeatable I had a 2ml sample of that and it's just too good of a scent, however for every day wear purposes CDNIM LE is just too good to pass as well specially price wise. I have no idea about the current patches of aventus my brothers bottle is a patch where it's more fruits and it's still honestly speaking better than LE to my nose . my advice would be get 2 ml samples and try them side by side then see where that takes u, skin chemistry is a big factor in how fragerances work

I would personally wait for it to be available if possible, try it for your self and then go for it.let me k ow what you think tho if u end up trying them

Sillage to me (I have smelt the original) in the air smells almost identical to Creed Silver Mountain Water, my girlfriend and her friends couldn’t tell a difference. It’s powdery throughout, with that same metallic/printer ink smell that SMW gives off. The green tea note is a bit less noticeable, but in the air, you can’t really tell if it’s there on either. Solid 9/10 for me.

Armani code is really heavy on the iris note with a powdery essence all throughout the opening, mids and dry down, beautifully blended perfume.  The tonka bean however, more present in the dry down is a bit unpleasant to my nose due to the “cloying-ness” it gives off. I would give this fragrance an 8.5/10

His Confession smells almost identical to my Givenchy Gentleman EDP, but it has a slightly denser scent profile, if that makes sense - and it seems to last longer. If you’re into that DNA, you might also want to check out Qaa’ed Intense by Lattafa, which comes very close to Reserve Privée.

It should improve with time. The sample I received easily lasts 6-8 hours on my skin, and I didn’t detect any cheesy note. In fact, it’s making me seriously consider picking up the OG -  Nishane Ani.

I'll give it another chance in a few weeks. I can definitely see the appeal - it’s smooth, pleasant, and inoffensive. It’s in the same ballpark as Turathi Blue, which I already own, but JL Immortal comes off a bit spicier and more complex.

I completely agree - Caprice is *really impressive*, especially given how affordable it is. The cardamom and lavender combo works surprisingly well for me.  
  
As for JL Immortal, I’ll give it another shot in a few weeks to see if the performance improves. If it does, it could definitely be a summer banger.

Khamrah is great if youre a gourmand lover! 

None of these on the list have citrus in them; they’re more ‘warm’ scents. If youre looking to try some citrus focused fragrances, id say check these out: 

- French Avenue Arsh
- Lattafa Art of Universe
- Fragrance World Neroli Riviera 
- Al Haramin L’Aventure Ciel 
- Lattafa Emeer 

Those are unisex strong citrus fragrances that ive tested and they’re all great! 

Check out [discoverydecants](https://discoverydecants.com) thats where I get all samples!

Yeah i'm in the US, at least for joma shop, [fragrance.net](http://fragrance.net), twisted lily, decantx, scent bird, and scentsplit they either don't have them or it would be nearly as expensive as the perfume itself is (all except lattafa eclaire is under $30)

Is there nowhere you can get a bunch of middle eastern samples for like 2-3$ a piece and then shipping them all together? I'm in Europe so I couldn't tell you about the US, but usually samples here are around 2-3€ for middle eastern/dupe fragrances.

Oh my gosh this is so detailed thank you so much! I've heard really mixed reviews about Khamrah so I'm glad to hear that you like it! I struggle with liking citrus in general but I want to get into it perfume-wise so I want to try one of those :)

The only tip I have for you is to get samples. Nobody can tell you what you'll like, and blind buying 100ml only to find out you don't like something is just annoying at best. I have tried a couple of these and I own a full bottle of Khair pistachio, but I got samples first and I'm glad I did. For exampleI thought I'd love éclaire, turns out it's not for me. Just going by reviews you can never know how you'll personally react to a fragrance.

Love Liam Grey - definitely a unisex scent. You’ll get a powdery iris fig woody/herbal black tea

Havent tried Lattafa Eclaire but I got a sample of Khadlaj Cream Velvet which is another Bianco Latte clone. You’ll get a very rich/dense warm golden butter and sugary creamy caramel honey vanilla scent (its like butterscotch candy vibes)

Havent tried Khair Pistachio but I do also have samples of Lattafa Pride Affection and French Aveneue Luscious which are said to be cloning Kayali Yum Pistachio Gelato as well 
- Lattafa Pride Affection: you’ll get a lighter more bright floral nutty pistachio gelato and vanilla scent 
- Luscios: you’ll get a very gourmand creamy nutty pistachio vanilla bean ice cream scent 

Have not tried Zimaya but I have Khamrah and Khamrah Qahwa and love them both as warm gourmand scents
- Khamrah: you’ll get a warm cinnamon start but then a lighter, more sweet dates and vanilla scent 
- Khamrah Qahwa: you’ll get a darker cinnamon and cardamom, then sweetens up into almost a candied fruit feel with subtle coffee and more vanilla)

For rose, fruity, floral you have these options: 
- Lattafa Badee Al Oud Sublime: you’ll get a fruity sweet apple lichi plum and rosey florals scent 
- Al Haramain L’Aventure Grapefruit: you’ll get a citrus sweet fruity balance with some powdery florals and subtle creamy vanilla caramel softness to it 

You might like Zakat Z7; its a heavy mix fresh florals and gourmand caramel blended scent 

Theres also Lattafa Teriaq for a bitter almond honey vanilla scent 

Lattafa Teriaq Intense is a gorgeous sweet plum liquor scent (id say this is in the same scent profile as Khamrah) 

Hope this helps! Also, if youre hesitant on what to get definitely get some samples!

I can only speak to Eclaire/Bianco Latte…90-95% similar in my opinion. It needed a couple of weeks to really develop and then it became one of my favorite fragrances and I see no need to repurchase Bianco Latte. I actually prefer Eclaire and not just for the price difference, to me it’s sweeter and doesn’t have this weird waxy smell that BL pulls on me.

I read that and a few other fragrance reviews. I'm more interested in what users say. I personally rarely smell what the notes claim unless it's super heavy on one or oud. Also idk what 80% of the top mid &amp; base notes they list  smell like anyhow. I feel like this site and similar others where users of items give their personal opinion based on their experience give me a much better perspective on what to expect. Plus if more than half the people say (or even a decent amount) there's no performance to speak of, I don't want it. I don't want pure skin scents either, I'm not married. 

    I do thank you for taking the time to look it up and reply. 
Appreciate it.

"Fragrance Type: Woody Fougere
Top: Italian Bergamot, Pink Pepper, Black Pepper, Green Apple
Middle: Geranium, Jasmine, Creamy Sandalwood
Heart: Healing Wood, Oud Wood, White Amber, Sensual Musk"

I see no resemblance to br540 whatsoever. The red theme and rouge gives the implication of being similar but i don't think so.

So I have a decant at home. I’m gonna give it another smell in just a bit again too because I heard someone say the same thing about it. At first I thought, ok people are losing their minds because they smell nothing alike. At least in terms of the note breakdown. Then I thought about it and there are a few others I have that have a BR540 style, but not by smell. Rather it’s the feel as you describe. Something that’s light and airy in a sense. Like a pleasing fog vs a dense cloud. 

I liked Oud for Glory initially, but now I’m even more excited to try it again with this sort of fresh perspective on it. I’ll report back in a few hours with my thoughts on that.

Have you tried Oud for Greatness/Oud for Glory? I heard it had BR 540 dna and I got it recently. They do not smell anything alike, at all, but Oud For Greatness/Glory has that same airy, wafty quality that BR 540 has. It’s very woody but light with lots of “lift”. Hard to explain.

Well among the swathes of the every day perfume buyers maybe, but I'd like to think amongst friends who have a real passion for perfume that perhaps they would be closer towards my side of the fence. I'm very much interested in the art and culture of perfume as a whole and I have a lot of love for it. 

I also think with this opinion I have the interests of all consumers at heart with wanting what's best for them. I think someone buying a good quality product, ethically made at all levels of ethics, not just what goes into the bottle, is far more of a luxury item (which perfume should be) than something that takes from the work of others.

That is absolutely true in some cases. I've heard first hand that the costs of some higher quality clones are about the same as a brand that sells the same product for many times the price, but to me that isn't really enough of an argument to put the case in any favour towards clones over the real thing and I'm standing fast on this. I know that clone companies are seen by a lot as some sort of robin hood section of the industry out to take from the rich to give to the poor, and it's very hard to talk people out of supporting that stance. I just don't see this huge barrage of brands who exist purely to take the work of others and profit from it as a positive for the industry. The big conglomerates are not losing out if someone is getting a clone of a Dior or a Tom Ford fragrance, either because clone buyers wouldn't have bought from them in the first place or because sales aren't exactly bad for the big players right now, but normalising the only rational perfume choices for someone on a budget as being a clone perfume is also ruining the ground we should be setting up nicely for smaller perfumers to come in and grow. We should be encouraging new products, new scents, new ideas. Not the same shit in a different font.

We should, can, and do have, fantastic perfume choices at all ranges of the market without needing these companies to fob people off with second rate versions of original products. The problem is I think clone companies are doing a damn good job at marketing to convince people if they want to smell good on a budget, that is their only option. It's creating so much low quality noise that frankly any lover of perfume should want to stamp out.

There is a real blurred line sometimes with dupes, because having a perfume that's similar but not the same, where someone has been inspired by something and put their own twist on it, makes it a whole new fragrance and not a dupe. So if someone happens to like something inspired by Aventus for example but it's got a different twist to it then I see no issue with that, although I feel often times seeing yet another brand coming out with some sort of Aventus inspired scent is just boring as someone who yearns to smell something unique, but I get that many styles are just trendy and are good building blocks to build off of in terms of making a perfume. After all, perfumers learn at one stage how to make already established scents. It's just the best ones move on from that and make their own stuff, rather than just selling those remakes. 

My bigger issue with out and out dupes (where a company feels it can only sell it's product if it has the name of the original next to it, and that the scent can't stand up on it's own), is that you're not just taking a scent already made, but you're capitalising on the work and marketing already done by another brand to cash in people who want a certain scent. That one feels more immoral to me. Not helped by the fact it's not just one or two companies doing this now, it's countless. An original perfume always wins for me in that case, and I always try to encourage where possible that people put money into something unique and not financially encourage more companies to come out of the woodwork selling dupes of the same thing all the time.

I agree with BR540. I have a montale sensual instinct sample. For me it is verry sweet heavy rose. I went to fragrantica. Guess what?. Everyone is talking about how it smells exactly like BR, but pls trust me, there is absolutely nothing in common. I feel like all the posts about BR are written by ppl who never tried it. And all the hate comes from people who never tried it.

I agree, I think it is more that people may just like the dupe equally or possibly sometimes even more than the original rather than them actually smelling identical. Different people also have different tastes and maybe like a simpler scent compared to a complex one or they might not have the ability to detect the difference because they don't have the nose for it. Not everyone is practiced in being able to pin point each individual note, a lot of people just sort of smell the 1-3 main scent note. Then there is skin chemistry and how different perfumes can smell different depending who is wearing them to take into account as well.

Tom Ford Lost Cherry, to me the dupes all smell way more like cough medicine and just don't have the unique nuance and balance of Lost Cherry. That's probably why the average person would basically need to sell a kidney to be able to afford a full bottle. I do find Lost Cherry has a bit of a cough medicine smell for maybe the first few minutes but then on dry down that disappears completely and it turns into a complex spicy, cherry, vanilla, cinnamon with a slightly smokey musk that is divine on me.

In my experience, dupes for any iconic perfumes like Black Opium, Chanel Chance EDP, Coco Mademoiselle, Miss Dior, Delina, Daisy etc. almost never do them justice. Good dupes can be like 85% there but you can tell it's just not the same. They're usually a lot weaker and don't have that much "depth" to them (if that makes sense)

Do you have bottles or decants? I suspect the age play a role as well.

I have few decants of different brand I.e. Amouage Reflection Man, Royal Tobacco that smells slightly different than the fresh bottle. Niche parfums with high natural ingredients tend to change over time and have variations due to where they source the ingredients.

I'd say by definition, every fragrance. The dupe, even if it smells the same (99.9% of the time they don't, stop lying to yourselves), comes from a place of someone taking an already existing thing and trying to rip it off for their own profit.

F batch is less close to the 2019 stuff I had, than the pv emperor clone I have. Which is unfortunate.

New F stuff is woodier, unusually floral or anise-y.  The old F stuff, and 2020-2022 stuff is sweeter and fruitier (best opening)  older stuff is smoker and muskier.

What does aventus ACTUALLY smell like?  All my decants can be told apart blind.

I think the common thread is the DNA rather than just one note. Because the BR540 DNA really is the result of all its notes together; no individual note will really give you that scent on its own. Now that you know it’s a scent you don’t enjoy, you can usually suss it out just from the note breakdown. Not always because I’ve smelled scents with that BR540 vibe whose notes didn’t give them away at all. But if you see any combination of BR540’s notes (especially the jasmine, saffron, wood, ambergris and oak moss), you can usually clock it.

I don't know, I don't really got metallic from saffron, it has more of a sweet, floral &amp; leathery feel to me. Could be the combination of saffron, ambroxan and ethyl maltol?! But, I also find Cloud obnoxious to my nose and as far as I know there is no saffron in it.

I don’t think it is ambroxan - I must be nose blind to it since both Escentric Molecule 02 and JHAG Not A Perfume are both pure ambroxan fragrances and they smell like absolutely nothing to me, but I do smell and hate that metallic smell in BR540 and it’s clones. I think it is probably the saffron or some another synthetic musk note.

-3 of them have musk &amp; a note called “woody notes” (BR450 doesn’t have either but has cedar)
-3 Have Jasmine (Cloud is the exception) 

So jasmine + musk + woodiness = that odd smell you dislike.

It doesn’t to me, but I guess that’s where different noses come in. Even in high doses it remains sweet and ambery, maybe with a little woodiness. However I’ve only tried orcanox and ambrofix so maybe other variations are different.

See my response to the person you’re replying to you. Somebody posted up the full formula for BR540 on base notes. It came from a group on Facebook that did the GC-MS on it and Cloud. Very similar and the person you’re replying to has incomplete or incorrect information.

Sorry for being all over this thread, I’m obsessed with perfumery. I found a GCMS report, while it’s not the actual formula it could help narrow things down: https://www.instagram.com/p/CocywzH|1ii/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

Among the materials listed the only one I haven’t tried that I think could be the culprit is Safranal, so that could be a good one to test, I’ve seen it described as metallic. Some chemicals are so powerful that they’re overwhelming even at .01% dilution or lower. Or it’s a combination of notes, or our noses are entirely different :)

Can you link the article? Ambergris may be like that (haven’t smelled it sadly) but Ambroxan is sweet and ambery, not blood-like in the least. The synthetic versions can smell wildly different from their inspirations, evernyl and oakmoss are completely different to me. I guess it does depend on your nose but there’s many materials that would come to mind before Ambroxan if I were trying to compose a blood note.

Those materials, especially hedione and evernyl/veramoss, are incredibly common. It would be harder to find a perfume that DOESN’T have hedione. I’m curious why the person who wrote this article is making it seem as if these materials are unique to BR. Is it like how Angel was the first gourmand?

I looked up the notes.  I would suspect the hedione.  Which is described as a jasmine but is actually used for both its floral and citrus properties.  What it smells like in part depends on the amount.

Agree that it’s probably not the Ambroxan but everyone loves to blame it! I don’t get any sharp or metallic from BR but I did from Cloud, I love br540 and the extrait but can’t stand Cloud. Maybe I’m just lucky that my nose doesn’t interpret br that way but I am quite curious too. For me the popular perfume that I can’t stand is Bianco Latte, synthetic coumarin smells very cold and plasticky to me in an unpleasant way.

Most perfume will contain synthetics, and even “all natural” ones will contain natural isolates unless it’s just essential oils/absolutes/resins/CO2 extracts, which are obtained in rather “unnatural” ways. There are a lot of reasons to use synthetics, from cost, to smell, to function, to safety. That being said, I do prefer natural coumarin extracted from cassia over synthetic, because the synthetic has a cold, plasticy smell to me.

To me, Ambroxan smells sweet, ambery, and soft. Unfortunately I have yet to try ambergris but touches of “ugly” notes are what can take a perfume from boring to vibrant. Like a chord that on its own is dissonant but in the context of the composition exalts the piece and gives it life. Some people do get headaches from Ambroxan or don’t like the smell, but that’s honestly true of any fragrance material.

Hedione is a light transparent slightly citrusy vaguely jasmine chemical that’s probably in 80-90% of fragrances out there.

The only way to really tell what material it is for you is to try them in isolation, like ordering some Ambroxan/ambrofix and trying it yourself. I thought the dill in Santal 33 was from my skin chemistry or the sandalwood they used but it turns out it’s from undecavertol+cypriol AND my skin chemistry.

I hate those fragrances as well and I love others with Ambroxan and Ethel Maltol, so for me I don’t think it’s either of these that give bandaids/ dentist unless it’s the combination of the two.  I’d love to find the answer!

It's because it's not a smell that is naturally gourmand, it's like if florals were so sweet that they were gourmand? Kind of like how I described, the density becomes the sweetness

How interesting! Yeah, it must be the mixture of certain notes. Someone else mentioned ambergris, and that's a good guess, too. See, and the musk in Glossier You really does me in, but I love it in BR540. Noses are so strange. I hope you figure it out!!

Yes! I haven’t tried Vanilla Powder but now I’m curious to, just to see if I get that same note. This morning I smelled All Eyes on Her by B&amp;BW (which dupes Burberry Her) and got the same note I hate, which inspired me to make this post. Her is loved by many, and it confuses me why I don’t smell any of the notes other people are getting. I will try to check out that other thread!

I don’t think it’s the ambroxen, but I could be wrong (or it could be the ambroxen mixed with another note that I don’t like). I like If You Musk from B&amp;BW, which dupes Glossier You, and I don’t get the same weird note in it that I get from BR540. I’ve also smelled JHAG Not a Perfume, and I don’t love that one, but it doesn’t bother me like BR540. I like cashmere notes (like B&amp;BW Snowflakes and Cashmere). I can’t think of any other musky fragrances I’ve tried, so I’ll have to keep exploring and see if I can narrow it down!

I think it's the Ambroxan note. It's a synthetic woody amber note. It is very distinct and kinda takes over the perfume.

It’s funny this would come up because this exact discussion is going on in another thread - what THAT note is.  It’s like a “you know it when you smell it” note that’s very tough to describe.  I get it HARD in Matiere’s Vanilla Powder as well, and it ruins it for me, sadly.

Baccarat rouge is made up of four synthetic aromatic chemicals.  When it was created, it was labelled HEVA.   HEVA was an acronym for Hedione, a jasmine-scented chemical that acts as a smell amplifier; Evernyl, which lends a mossy, musky note; Veltol, which smells like caramelized sugar; and Ambroxan, a synthetic form of ambergris, a pungent substance regurgitated by whales, which has a ferric quality, like blood in the back of the throat.

Perhaps the ambroxan/musk, which is described as an animalic musk smell. To my nose, it gives these scents an almost biting note, for lack of a better word. Are there any musky perfumes that you like, though?

I'm a big fan of buying oils and converting to sprays. I have a pretty good collection going and wear them every day. I've bought from Oil Perfumery, Perfume Parlour and APO (Arabian Perfume Oils). They area all just repackagers that buy in bulk from one of several perfume oil manufacturers, so none of them actually make their own oils. There is probably a lot of overlap between various sellers. 

My experience is that about 85% of them are spot on to the original with the other 15% going off the rails in one way or the other. This has been a higher batting average than the common clones that I've tried, although the clone houses have better performance as they add fixatives. My sprays are just perfume oil + perfumer's alcohol, but they smell very high quality compared to the typical clones.

Few possible reasons, if it is a new bottle it may require maturation by keeping it in a cool and dark place for a month. If it is old bottle then you might be getting nose blind, apply it on your wrist area and then check it.

I sampled aqua Dubai and too thought it smelled generic, cheap hotel bar soap. I still have the sample maybe I’ll give it another go. Have you sampled Afnan SNOI? That’s probably my favorite clone frag, CE is pretty good as well.

If you like Versace Eros (one, if not, my favorite scent), you should check out Armaf El Cielo ! A lot of people are saying it's closer to Invictus, but literally have El Cielo on one wrist, Eros on the other, and they are really close! To my nose anyway!

&gt;Chances are the current Blue Label is way more synthetic than it was in the 90s. I'm going by my perception of it in late 90s/early 2000s

Could also be that your standard has gotten higher since then. And I do agree it's less synthetic as silver Scent. I like nuclear. I agree longevity isn't an issue, but usually, frags that stay 12 hours perform better on hour 7 than frags that stay 8.5 hours. But I'll prefer using the Blue label for when I'm going to be in a closed small area.

depends on how you look at the term "refined" though. If Silver Scent was a 2, and Perfume Parlour/Ahmeds were an 8 (OG's being 10-12), I'd say Silver was a 4. Not much, but still twice as much.   
In my perception, longevity wise anything past 10 is pointless unless you are someone who wears the same clothes for that long. Blue label did project enough and lasted a workday, from what I recall, so I wouldn't need anything more. Projection, I don't know - I remember it projected well enough for me, and that's good enough. I've given up "nuclear" ones for something that lasts and projects just enough for a workday (8 hours) but has a nicer edge/refinement. Maybe that's just me.

&gt;Cigar Blue was significantly less synthetic/more refined to my nose.

Agree... And I mentioned it. Well, I wouldn't say "significantly", or call Cigar Blue "refined", because... Let's not kid ourselves. 

 I don't know, after being repeatedly disappointed by the performance of EDPs, that are somehow being tripled by these EDTs, I'm thinking about actually lowering my "synthetic-ness" standard to gain nuclear-ness. If you look at the most complimented fragrances, reason #1 is people need to smell them. That's why CDNIM is always reported as highly complimented, but in a [blind test](https://www.reddit.com/r/fragranceclones/s/pmco6DvXbL
), loses 90% of the time.

Welp, I've used both and Cigar Blue was significantly less synthetic/more refined to my nose.  I remember Silver was pretty much grape soda - synthetic, sugary sweet, while Cigar had a bit of fresh fruitiness (imagine a juice cocktail vs a canned soda). In fact, Cigar Blue is why I started moving away from Jacques Bogart, Cuba and Franck Olivier, the cheap synthetic military grade performers of the 90s.   
Who knows, maybe these days those two aren't that far apart after reformulations. At some point I might order Blue but for now I'm waiting on the OG cigar to arrive

Ive had these bottles for over a year now and should be matured but people saying its beast modes and whatever doesnt make sense. The only bottle i have that i can literally smell the next day on my jacket from 4-5ft away is qahwa, the rest last 2-4 hrs, and even then i swear the perfumes were stronger when i bought them. Which brands really put effort in from your experience? lattafa and fragrance world and especially paris corner have hit or misses

&gt;there is BOUND to be diamonds in the rough.

That's the reason. But I usually at least try the profile before buying the dupe. Even with this haul, the only 2 I wouldn't have bought were the 2 "true blinds" (Cigar Blue Label and Thallium), because I already have an almost identical scent to Cigar Blue Label, and Thallium is "just okay". 

 People can scold me and say "look at Cigar Blue Label's reviews, people say it smells like Silver Scent, so you could have known that".... But, they also said it about Thallium, and that's not even close! That's the problem with scents reviewing, it's like trying to review a painting to someone using only words.

Reading notes doesn't really help. Read the notes of Silver Scent or Cigar Blue Label, and you'll never think they smell like straight up grape soda.

I mean, read the notes and it's not really blind I guess. If you already know the scent profile then definitely not blind, more experimental I guess. 

I'm lucky, I've loved every frag I've bought. So blind buy has worked for me. That said, I've now got 2 maybe 3 I'm allergic to so will be time for decants now. That or stop buying because I already have more than I can wear.

Question is, what do we define as a blind buy? If I tried the OG and bought a clone, I don't think it's a blind. Same if I tried a clone and ordered a different clone for the same fragrance. So by that, I only blind bought Thallium and Cigar Blue Label. And TBH, those are the 2 "flops" of this order. Not so "floppy" that I wouldn't use them, but if I would've tried them first, I wouldn't have ordered them.

I have the Coconut Lagoon, Qaed Al Fursan Unlimited, Khadlaj Shiyaaka Red, and CDN Untold is on the way. Coconut Lagoon is everything everyone says it is. I wish the lime lasted longer, but you can layer with other longer lasting fruit frags like Neroli Portafino. However, the creamy vanilla coconut is amazing, lasts forever and surprisingly NOT feminine. Al Fursan Unlimited was a no go for me. Gifted it to my sister. Shiyaaka is a very good everyday/office middle of the road scent, nice. I've been chasing the BR540 ghost. I love the scent but not enough to pay the OG cost. So, I tried other clones... Barakkat Extrait, Baroque Rouge Extreme... And I smell nothing out the gate. I mean there's anosmic and then there's BR540 clones. Lol. I hope Untold is a little better. I wear fragrances for myself not for others pleasure, that's just a bonus. How long do you get the cardamom in the Ansaam and is it sweet cardamom or bitter green cardamom? Thanks.

It projects very good (an arm length) for the first 90 minutes and later backs down to around 30-40 cm for 90 minutes before becoming a skin scent. On clothes it lasts a good 16 hours.
The lime is absolutely there but the lime in VIW is so well-blended you can almost drink it.

They are similar in their direction of scent profile where they both smell very tropical/ Caribbean Island with a very fresh and lime/ mojito vibe. 
The biggest difference to me is the quality tbh. VIW smells like higher quality ingredients and both the coconut and lime is more vibrant. 
Unfortunately for me VIW doesn’t last longer than an hour or two on me and therefore doesn’t get used as much as I would like.

Non-cloying as in it's a summer scent. It's tropical, citrusy, and refreshing at the same time as sweet. 

If you generally don't like sweet don't blind buy it, because it's a sweet scent over anything else. It's candy sweet. But again it's a summer scent, so that should give you an idea of it being a non-cloying type of sweet. 

I thought I disliked sweet scents after 9pm, that is until I tried Coconut Lagoon and Spectre Malachite.

Most people get no coconut in this because it's more of a candy coconut. It's not a coconut forward fragrance, it's more lime/sweet forward, with a hint of coconut (not sun lotion) in the background. If you like (noncloying) sweet whatsoever, you HAVE to get it. I can't recommend it enough.

luckily i found a great alternative: Amber blend by davidoff smells very similar, without rough edges and is very long lasting. Its discontinued but still available on some websites

I think I got one of the new batches. Performance etc is nowhere near what I was expecting, over a year into owning the fragrance. Certainly not beast mode. Still beautiful but not powerful at all. Smoky nuance has developed rather nicely though.

I got it for Christmas as a blind buy. Wasn't sure about it at first, but love it now. Very boozy on contact, but drys down to this amber, woody, slight leather scent. Smells a lot more expensive than the cost of it.

Some that fit the vibe: Montale Vanilla Cake, Mazzolari Vaniglia, Gleam Vanilla Crush, Narcotica Happy Dust

Also maybe Akro Bake or Xerjoff Lira or D&amp;G Devotion (all open with lemon/citrus but dry down to vanilla cake) or Theodoros Kalotinis Crème Brûlée (coconut and sugary vanilla) 

Profumum Roma Gioiosa is similar to Bianco Latte but has a little bit more of an airy spun sugar quality

Hi, I'm poking my nose in here,  I have Confetto and I really want to love it. I love almonds and sweet and confetto is that, however there's something about it that doesn't quite work for me. There's a note in some perfumes that makes me feel happy and it's  missing that for me. It's definitely it's worth trying. I was thinking it would be more like Vidal Sassoon shampoo, almond scent. I remember that was a sexy yummy scent

Came here to rec this as well. I am always looking for a comforting milky scent but they always turn sour, have a lot of spices or are not milky at all (Commodity seriously wtf). Mochi Milk is perfect. It smells like Botan rice candy (or soft strawberry mochi even though it’s supposed to be peach) with the loveliest touch of incense that enhances the coziness. 100/10

Thank you for this post. Even if there weren't other issues with Hufflepuff, I hate HOS bottles.

Thanks for the suggestions! ❤️ Never Ending Summer isn’t bad, but it doesn’t last long on my skin unfortunately. Literally five minutes and the citrus notes are gone. I actually bought the citrus oils to see if I could layer and extend the longevity of the citrus notes on my skin (I have a sample from the discovery set). 

I will keep an eye out for that Ellis Brooklyn scent! I love Vanilla Sin actually, forgot to list it—-it’s on my wish list.

True, I typically layer mine with Maison Matine arashi no umi. If you’re not already familiar, that one’s a green apple scent. I’d recommend if you like apple as well!

I did get a marshmallow sample off of Etsy which is OK but very linear/one note. I think if layered with another fragrance it could create a respectable dupe…maybe Pink Sugar or something similar!

Yum boujee marshmallow does not last long at all. Which is sad because I love the way it smells. Just my two cents for what it’s worth. I’m currently looking for a smell a like that lasts longer for that one.

I didn’t get rubber with my Eclaire. I just bought Royal Blend dupe of Angels’ Share. I heard it was the best, but Ambery Oakwood would’ve been my next pick because I like Dossier. 

I think it’s nice to buy the Middle Eastern clones secondhand so that they’ve already “matured” like some people claim they need to smell better.

Dossier's Ambery Oakwood and Lattafa Eclaire are the ones I have. I think they're pretty dang close! The Eclaire lasted longer on me than the Bianco Latte. Everyone's skin and nose are different, of course. I wonder sometimes if my sniffer is trained or sophisticated enough to pick up on all the subtle differences.

I have divain dupes of Tendre Poison by Dior, Kenzo l' Amour and Maui in a bottle by Kayali. 

I can't compare TP anymore, since the real deal is discontinued, but as far as I remember it comes close.

The Kenzo I love. It's a soft cuddly smell,  not really strong though.

Maui is a bit synthetic but I love the banana and vanilla.

Lattafa Eclaire is said to be the closest and strongest performing, yet not near as strong as BL. Personally I would say just enjoy what you have and whenever you finish it replace with a different dupe OR get the original vs buying 3 dupes.

Burberry Her edp - Saudi Queen by Jo Milano, Optimistic Her by Fragrance World... A really cheap option is Dress Code Her, not as nice as the others, imo.

Thank you sooooo much for sharing your feedback!

I'm legit stoked that you found a fragrance brand that actually works for you! Honestly, if the only downside is having to respray or top up a bit more throughout the day, that still seems like a total win in my book.

I mean, most of us fragrance enthusiasts end up carrying travel sprays or decants anyway, right? And if you're getting something that smells amazing without all the nasty chemicals, that's basically the holy grail.

apologies! that was a mistake on my part. even the high-end, expensive fragrances that I own don’t usually last long on my skin. i only usually get about  anywhere from 3 to 6(rarely) hours of wear and i know longevity is different for everyone. they do project well though. 

what’s more important to me is the quality of the fragrance. I don’t want it to smell artificial or too much like alcohol or medicine. I’ve found that with a lot of clone houses tend to smell like that which is really headache inducing. at the price i pay for quality dupes, I wouldn’t actually mind to keep topping up throughout the day. that’s probably why I didn’t mention the longevity and projection much. my bad! 

for what it’s worth, i tested out these fragrances at different points on my arms at about 1/2pm, it’s now 9pm and they’re still going strong! not super potent but definitely still there. with the exception of pear inc which has disappeared completely and meliora fading slightly!

You forgot to mention the most important aspect: the longevity and projection of each fragrance.

I’ve tried many of their scents in the past, mainly drawn in by their aggressive marketing and incredibly low prices. 

And I won’t lie. At first, I was genuinely impressed by how good they smelled and the overall quality of the compositions. But in the end, it was a big letdown. 

The performance just wasn’t there. Most of them faded away far too quickly, which is a major disappointment for any fragrance enthusiast.

I have the OG as well as Eclaire, Tiramisu Caramel, and Eclaire Affair. None are a 1 - 1. You're going to get 85 - 90 at best out of those 3. Next on my list to get is Arabiyat Prestige - Nyla Vanielle. The dupes definitely smell similar, but the quality difference is very noticeable.

I really like Grand Soir, i would say its honestly right down the middle. A a guy I have no problem wearing it and do not think its feminine, I also know many women who wear it and it smells great on them. To me its one of the best vanilla scents, classy that is perfect for cooler months and can work at night when its a little warmer. I have both the Miris clone and Barakkat Ambre Eve from Fragrance World and i find both really good and very very close to the OG with good performance.

Thanks so much for the insight &amp; recommendation! I hope my luck is as good as yours when it comes
to Divain. And i checked out Miris! Unfortunately they’re not available on the UK amazon, but I might do a big whole which will justify shipping costs from
their website! I also had a question on MFK grand soir, i’ve never smelt it but am super intrigued by the notes..would you say it’s more masculine or feminine leaning?

I ordered a grouping (Loewe 001, Alien Men, Guerlain Homme, and a few more) from Divain and i thought the quality was pretty good across the scents i ordered, the smell was close to the OGs but the performance wasn't as great. It was certainly acceptable for the price and i am hoping they get better with time, i am letting them sit for a few weeks. If the performance improves i will view it as a hit as they do smell good with good quality for the price in my opinion.

 If you are looking for alternative clone houses you might want to check out Miris Perfumes, they sell tons of clones/inspirations for many different niche &amp; designer brands. I ended up getting their clones of MFK Grand Soir, Initio Rehab and Bvlgari Aqva Amara. The ones I got are pretty good with solid performance especially for the price and variety they offer. They sell on Amazon but much better deal if you order through their site. I figured I would take a shot and was pleasantly surprised!

Hi,
Just wanted to share some talk about why perfumes smell different on everyone. 


Your skin pH matters so much. Some of us are naturally more acidic, and that literally changes how the fragrance molecules develop. This is why your friend's signature scent might smell completely different on you.


Moisture is another huge factor. Perfume needs something to "hold onto" - if your skin is super dry, even the best fragrances will just evaporate quickly. That's why applying right after a shower actually works better.


Also, our bodies all have unique microbiomes (basically the natural bacteria on our skin). These little guys interact with perfume notes and create your personal "scent fingerprint."


Daily stuff affects this too - your diet, hormones, even the weather can change how your fragrance performs from day to day.


With Divain, like any perfume, the way it develops is going to be unique to your body chemistry. 
So, my best advice is give them a try!


Let me know how they performs,
