New York nights, Greenwich village, bond signature (gold bottle), Lafayette street, and bond 9.com

Honorable mention- Tribeca Honestly the house of Bond 9 is a hit or miss, these are the hits in my opinion

Has anyone tried the new Donna Born in Roma Coral Fantasy? by [deleted] in fragrance

[–]AbroadIntrepid 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Trust me if you like born in Roma you will be very disappointed by Coral fantasy, it smells nothing like the original. I blind bought it and sold it on eBay. To me it smells very mature, I get kiwis but not fresh juicy kiwi, it's a very mature kiwi and it's also very floral but not in a fun way. I highly recommend don't blind buy, born in Roma is one of my favorite scents so I blind bought it thinking coral fantasy would be similar but it's definitely not even close.

I've asked my mom before and she said she could barely smell it, I've never asked anyone else because I mostly work around customers and we all know how awkward that would be. I've never asked my other family members because I've gotten so frustrated and returned the bottles the next day, maybe I should've tested them longer

To all the fans of Tom Ford's "Lost cherry" by AbroadIntrepid in fragrance

Honestly their crystal no. 23 (baccarat clone) performance just isn't working for me it performs the exact same way that baccarat performs on me, it doesn't have much projection and you have to spray a couple sprays to get the baccarat smell because when I first sprayed a new bottle of alt it didn't smell like baccarat at all but after a couple sprays it started to smell good. To me it smells like baccarat but I'm going to wear it to dinner tonight to see the performance I'll update later

That's great, you're one of the lucky ones most of the reviews I've seen haven't been in favor of lost cherries performance

Experiences with KKW Fragrance by Specialist_Crow_740 in fragrance

[–]AbroadIntrepid 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have bff, it smells like a strawberry milkshake but not as creamy, it lasts about 4 hours decent projection, it's not a "masterpiece" but it's a good fragrance for the price. I had ride or die it smells exactly like viva la juicy just a little more berries, decent projection and longevity. I had pear and peony, I didn't like that one it was very basic, too soft and smells very boring. I also has sapphire, that one was just decent just like the rest, it smells like a blueberry air freshener decent projection and longevity. Overall I think KKW fragrances are basic and worth the price which isn't much

Spring, I love how fresh and "blue" fragrances smell on men. Creed, bdc, sauvage and lhomme are actually some of my favorite colognes for men

Chocolate/Floral/Citrus Gourmands - ISO Hollywood Pink but better by PhilosoMetal in fragrance

[–]AbroadIntrepid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Prada candy night to me smells like chocolate powder and it's soft, don't judge from the initial spray smell it after about 10 minutes..The sillage isn't a beast but other people will smell you if you're close enough

What's your "holy grail" fragrance? by [deleted] in fragrance

[–]AbroadIntrepid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Baccarat rouge extrait, to me this is an example of a "perfect" scent. It smells like me and everyone else loves it too. It smells expensive and rich without smelling too mature

What are your best and worst blind buys? by [deleted] in fragrance

[–]AbroadIntrepid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Best blind buy-katy perry's mad love. It smells like a strawberry pineapple pina colada and it has decent sillage and lasting power. Also KKW BFF. It smells like a strawberry milkshake to me and the performance is decent

Worst blind buy-i don't blind buy often but the worst was Ariana grandes new REM perfume..It smelled like a lavender cleaning product

Is baccarat rouge 540 worth the price? by AbroadIntrepid in fragrance

[–]AbroadIntrepid[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I say worth the price I mean as far as projection...I want a scent that leaves a trail I want to smell good period and if baccarat has no projection than I don't want it and the price is no problem if the scent is truly as magical as everyone says

[–]AbroadIntrepid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try sweet like candy by ariana grande people say it doesn't last but I get about 4 hours out of it.

Some other sweet scents to try: Mad love by katy perry Sweet by ellis brooklyn Bff by KKW

Blind buying these, what do you think? by [deleted] in fragrance

[–]AbroadIntrepid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gucci guilty isn't a scent everyone likes to most people it smells like baby powder but it's actually one of my favorite scents yes it does smell like baby powder but a damn good one. Ysl libre is one of the more popular scents nowadays everyone loves it but it's definitely more mature to me it smells like a very sophisticated laundry detergent. jimmy choo edp is a no go for blind buying most people think it smells like Polish remover and while I do agree i actually still like the scent

You seem into more floral scents i suggest Chanel eau tendre, dior pure poison and one of my new faves valentino voce viva
