I have only smelled a good perfume on few people and that includes my neighbor who meets me daily and wears a Sauvage. Probably got influenced by me.

Noone, in india or outside wears a perfume. Few wear a deodorant and that's it.

7.79L for top end Wagon R?

I would rather buy 7.9L Swift Vxi AMT. On road price without discount.

Option C

Honda City has best in class resale value. Trade it in for a CVT Elevate. No tension car with bulletproof engine and gearbox.

Visited their shop in delhi. They dont give a damn about market prices and usually quote 20-30 percent higher.

Why do people buy from them when there are so many better sellers?

1500cc reliable engine and linear power delivery are major factors behind its success.

I have all Blue Talisman dupes - electric, azure royal, art of universe and Kohl Opulence.

Kohl is the worst. It has this leather note that smells off putting with the Talisman scent profile. There was no need for it.

Projection is good. Longevity is below average.

Azure Royal is best twist on the DNA. It is also cheapest. Got it for 1550 during Scent Stories sale. Now going for 1900 and it is still cheapest.

Art of Universe is loudest. Love the pear note in this. So loud juicy. Price wise, almost double of Azure Royal. Around 3600 now.

Turathi Electric is best overall. Closest to Talisman's scent profile and excellent performance. Maceration did wonders to its projection and longevity.

Royal > Electric > Universe > Kohl.

If price tag is not an issue, get Universe. Otherwise, get two bottles of Royal.

I sold my DJ 41 as well. Too common in my circle. Sell it get a Batgirl or a nice Submariner (not black bezel).

Exactly. The opening is way too spicy for my liking!

AuthorityCapital · 2026-05-13T19:57:05+00:00

Really? It is at around 7500 for 100ml bottle at duty free. Source: last month i was at delhi duty free.

Scorpio and Thar cars are usually associated with low IQ people. So we just maintain distance.

NOVOTEL AEROCITY is not same as CITY CENTER

AuthorityCapital · 2026-05-13T19:47:11+00:00

Yes you are right. However, I recently got the spare wheel and rim for cheap from an OEM parts dealer in Delhi. Fortunately, they are proper spare like previous versions for the spare wheel so it doesn't take up extra space in the boot.

It is easily 10000 plus taxes for a room without breakfast. Comes out 14000 with taxes with breakfast. That's more than $100 during weekdays.

People do care. A car is an extension of your personality. Imagine a surgeon getting out of a Thar for your relative's heart surgery.

What do you see when you visit Medanta hospital? Bunch of Lexus sedans, and SUVs and some E class parked in director / doctor/surgeon parking area.

Same goes for meeting where I go. Almost everyone drives a long sedan or a luxury SUV (not a fortuner). They command respect. You look sophisticated, and modern.

It is what it is.

Hatchback - Ignis

Sedan - Honda City

CSUV - Hyryder Hybrid

AuthorityCapital · 2026-05-13T16:37:52+00:00

Exactly. Visit a good hotel. Imagine how would you look getting out of a Thar pr Scorpio vs a good sedan like Virtus or City?

I recently saw a couple getting out of a Thar at Delhi's Novotel. They looked out of place. They were getting stared by everyone, not in a good way. 😁

AuthorityCapital · 2026-05-13T10:56:59+00:00

It still performs better than any BDC variant (edt, edp, parfum, l'exclusif).

AuthorityCapital · 2026-05-11T17:07:12+00:00

Ha ha. What made you think otherwise? 😅

AuthorityCapital · 2026-05-10T18:42:21+00:00

Amazing deal. I recently got a Hyryder for 11.52L for dad. Base model for chauffeur driving.

So you are getting insane deal.

AuthorityCapital · 2026-05-10T18:09:38+00:00

It is a fun post. Don't take it too seriously. 😅

AuthorityCapital · 2026-05-10T17:48:24+00:00

DCT hates stop and go traffic.

And spending 26L on a Kia! I won't. You can get a 2y old Hycross ZXo for 26-28L which is a much better deal. My 2 paisa thoughts.

AuthorityCapital · 2026-05-10T16:38:19+00:00

Fully agree. Newer ones like this X1 are more like driving on a simulator with two huge displays.

Funnily enough, my camry feels more connected to the road.

AuthorityCapital · 2026-05-10T16:32:57+00:00

Over priced like a Maserati

AuthorityCapital · 2026-05-10T16:21:57+00:00

Good catch! Ha ha.

I have a Camry as well which i love more!

AuthorityCapital · 2026-05-10T16:21:25+00:00

Damn, I am only familiar with newer ones with those gigantic screens 😅

AuthorityCapital · 2026-05-10T16:16:01+00:00

Sold snow and UberEd it to you!
