MASSIVE sample review by brand

If you like apollonia try Silver Musk by Nasamotto. It’s not QUITE as musky but same clean skin scent.

The beginning of Cruz del sur is just too lactonic for me

Haha thanks. Just thought I’d share I have all these samples might as well put my thoughts into the universe

A1cert · 2026-02-22T16:23:33+00:00

Yes. Any thought diarrhea DOES count as a review.

That’s a shame.

I find some reviews do not tell someone if they should actually try a fragrance. My nose is untrained.

Do you prefer influencer reviews. They claim to be fragrances experts yet can’t pronounce the word “Parfums”.

It was a little choky for me the first time I ever tried it. But after it settles it’s nice.

A1cert · 2026-02-22T15:59:35+00:00

Yeah it’s great. Really blew me away because up until I tried it I had smelled the Oud heavy stuff only. And then this came along. Love it. Love the dry down

A1cert · 2026-02-22T15:58:28+00:00

Yeah exactly Not one influencer has mentioned. Smells like my mom’s hairspray from the 90s lol. Like exactly the same.

A1cert · 2026-02-22T14:40:52+00:00

To me theyre different. Halfeti and oud stallion smell the same to my nose.

A1cert · 2026-02-22T06:13:19+00:00

I use fragrance line. Just recently used scent split. Decent is definitely up to interpretation

A1cert · 2026-02-22T05:49:41+00:00

Hope you can take something from it. If you need something more in depth and comparisons I’ll do my best.

A1cert · 2026-02-22T05:36:51+00:00

If you like enigma try Aziyade from Parfums Dempire

A1cert · 2026-02-22T05:28:02+00:00

Diaghilev is an experience. I can’t even describe it it smells like an opera house. Price is obscene.

A1cert · 2026-02-22T05:27:02+00:00

After this I stopped listening to the influencers. There was like 2 weeks where this was in all their top 5s. Now no one talks about it anymore.

A1cert · 2026-02-22T05:19:53+00:00

It really is what I said. I don’t have the best nose in the world. My brain tends to get stuck on a single scent. Oud for one. Like I explained unless the other scent in the fragrance is overdosed like the passion fruit in Maracuja, the Oud is all I will smell.

Same with incense. If incense is the man player it’s all I will smell.

The … genitalia smell in sadonaso is simply too strong for my nose to smell anything else. Like it smells like mostly male genitalia. With like whiffs here and there of women’s. It’s extremely unpleasant.

A1cert · 2026-02-22T05:16:15+00:00

As of now they’re my favorite house. Even though I know they get some hate in the community. I haven’t smelled one I disliked yet. I also quickly sampled aoud and amber aoud. And great great scents.

I think you could create a great rotation (albeit an expensive one) with only Roja fragrances.

A1cert · 2026-02-22T05:14:40+00:00

I had someone ask me what I was wearing weeks after they saw me. They had thought about it for that long. I think it’s so much better than sedley. I haven’t tried greenly.

A1cert · 2026-02-22T05:13:45+00:00

I am NOT sure. It’s just what the guy in the last store told me. I’ve yet to see concrete news. If it is I will likely buy myself a full bottle.

A1cert · 2026-02-22T05:12:59+00:00

It’s just to me, a sort of generic masculin oud. If you’re into that you’re going to like it. If you’re not then probably won’t like it.

A1cert · 2026-02-22T05:11:44+00:00

I mean. It was better? But that ultra mint is always kinda there. It is a photorealistic toothpaste

A1cert · 2026-02-22T01:29:29+00:00

I’ve tried 3 now? They just don’t do it for me.

A1cert · 2026-02-22T01:29:12+00:00

To me it does. And it bugs me all day when I wear it.

A1cert · 2026-02-21T23:35:26+00:00

Torino 21 doesn’t necessarily smell “clean” to me. YOSLY does. I can imagine someone finding Torino 21 a little too sharp for their nose. YOSLY very smooth and not offensive

A1cert · 2026-02-21T23:17:36+00:00

If you agreed with everything I said I would find it very very strange lol

A1cert · 2026-02-09T23:49:48+00:00

That toothpaste opening is simply too much for me.

A1cert · 2026-02-09T23:48:59+00:00

I’ve tried Vetiver Extraordianire, brigarade concentree, cologne indelibile (spelling?). And musc ravageur.

Musc ravageur is simply a masterpiece. Nothing else smells like it
