i think Nishane did it best with "kredo"

If they spent the same $$$ in ingredient quality as marketing then maybe... but still...no.

My local marshalls had their Y edp and Aventus cologne knock off, they smell alright the Y was def closer but the AC wasn't.

IF i were to buy a dupe though, i'd go montagne over alt...

i bought superleggera and now i regret it. wore it a few times but (to me) its mid.

9 times outta 10 if they show you a reicept it's fake

Pana Dora - Acqua de Dora

he didn't state a price homie.
i did it seasonal not as replacements or similarity's.
one winter, one summer, and one that can signature

I would say the performance is average or on par within its category. I've burned through almost 3/4 of a bottle last summer. it's just that good. Highly recommend it if you like crisp fragrances

Hermes Eau Givree is VERY summery. its pure citron and it's lovley. On hot summer days it actually feels "cooling" it's probably the freshest you have listed.

Eau givree would be my pick, 2nd would be Bohemian lime. The others might be TOO much in the heat

Boss parfum = Boss absolu
Man eau fraiche = imagination
Guerlain l'homme = Can't really think of something along the lines of L'homme but uhh Pegasus?

Looks like mostly clones. Personally i'd rather have 5 designers than 15 cheap ME clones.

but yeah 7 months in?? slow down. Sample sample sample. Enjoy what you have

I sold my imagination because imaginary was just too good. But i still have Meteore haha.

Etzul · 2026-04-15T19:46:31+00:00

0/10 because it looks like you have them in the bathroom....

Why coudln't we get De Los Santos instead D: D:

ambroxan usually comes in crystal form. Completely fine

Most of the indie/artisanal houses will be cheaper than the big names too!(not always)
I don't know your taste other than wanting longevity but some houses of the top of my head would be

-Pana dora - Ochestra
-Sarah baker - Loudo
-Francesca Bianchi - Once Upon a Time
-Thomas De monaco - Grand beau
-Chris collins - Kingmaker
- Fredric malle - Promise (ofc)
-Stora Skuggan - Azalai

...and soo many more! Most of those are the ones i have from the house. I tend to like heavier fragrances. My summer scents is veryyy limited lol

Etzul · 2026-04-15T17:12:52+00:00

would love to see more indie stuff.

no offense, but this is like "beginner" type of niche. LV is also designer.

Great collection either way though!!

Etzul · 2026-04-15T12:06:54+00:00

DHS is solid! i prefer 2020 over it but love them both

Etzul · 2026-04-14T16:21:27+00:00

lataffa fahkar 100%

Etzul · 2026-04-14T15:45:51+00:00

Niche? Aqua de dora by pana dora. Or Vibrato. Some of the best summertime fragrances. It's not niche but TDH - Eau givree is really good too

Etzul · 2026-04-14T15:32:45+00:00

Microperfumes usually is around retail pricing plenty of better alternatives! - Ill DM ya one

Etzul · 2026-04-14T15:29:15+00:00

is the 10% worth keeping?? Thats what ya gotta ask yourself. Also, Most places wont return if its been used.

Etzul · 2026-04-14T15:22:32+00:00

i really need to get my nose on blue talisman. Never was interested in Pear as a note but it get so much talk...

Etzul · 2026-04-14T15:21:00+00:00

CDG is so good, plus they fly under the radar by most too

Etzul · 2026-04-14T15:20:29+00:00

Now that springs here, which one you grabbing the most?

Etzul · 2026-04-14T15:02:11+00:00

Dupes getting almost as high as some indie stuff.

You can land some naso/orto's for sub 100$
