alright fellas, second day of sampling this and i already failed to resist the temptation.

In the beginning this smells a bit like ombre nomad but evolves into mfk grand soir + a bit of soft citrus in the dry down.

now we wait for the mailman 🔥

What is your Tuesday (dupe) or SOTD?

Boadicea Blue Sapphire is a clone of

Al Qurashi Blend by Abdul Samad Al Qurashi

Both are AMAZING but Blue Sapphire is the dupe🔥🔥

Looking for a new freshie that has already a half decent longevity, will perform in the high heat (as in Africa heat) and costs <£200, open to all suggestions

Help me decide

I’ve had my eyes on all of these recently, I cant decide which to pull the trigger on first. Summer is quickly approaching, so I’m leaning more towards freshies, they’ll all be bought eventually, figuring out where to start first and pay day is coming up. Help me spend money.

Edit: Spelling
Edit: Kerosene comes with 3 Samples & Guerlain comes with 2

Rooibos + Raspberry Regality (a killer combo)

Hey yall, long time fragrance subreddit lurker and commenter, 1st time poster.

I’ve been doing a bunch of my own fragrance reviews lately (less to share with the public and more to curate my scent profile), and when doing them, I like to add a little description of the scene or emotion that the fragrance invokes, and what kind of person would wear it. I decided to share it with y’all and see what you think; My thought was so many people already do the average style reviews already, it would be cool to spice it up a bit.

Today, I decided to layer La Yuqawam Pour Homme by Rasasi and Dynasty by Lattafa for the first time, and let me tell you… Fkn banger. Don’t know why I never thought to do this before.

Here’s the scene:

A man walking through a luxury hotel in a city where old empires once ruled; somewhere between Istanbul, Dubai, and a rain-soaked London night. He’s wearing a dark suede jacket over a tailored black turtleneck, the kind of person that speaks calmly because he never has to raise his voice to command attention. There’s citrus and ginger still lingering from earlier in the evening, but underneath it is the unmistakable scent of worn leather chairs, expensive tea, saffron smoke, polished cedar, and the faint sweetness of raspberry clinging to the air like a memory. He is refined, but not clean-cut. There’s something slightly dangerous about him, something emotionally guarded and difficult to fully read. He knows luxury intimately, but he also knows hardship, and that combination gives him weight when he walks into a room. This smells like a man who built himself carefully over time: cultured, composed, seductive, and quietly intense, the type of person who could either own the lounge you’re sitting in or disappear into the crowd intentionally just to observe everyone else.

Let me know if you guys would like more of this style of review vs the average 0-10 Smell/Longevity/Sillage/Projection reviews. If you think this is trash, let me know. I’m open to all comments and criticism!

*Disclaimer: AI used to create the image, and to tighten up/organize a few of the sentences in the imaginary scene description. All ideas are mine, AI just helped me translate them to an image, and to organize/proofread them in words.*
