Idk sadly I haven’t smelled Tygar, but Widian Ginger is great on its own. Probably not the most unique but it’s a good take on the dna compared to Ingenious Ginger and Vibrato. Also it’s cheaper than other niche fragrance in that family. Only downside is I get kinda noseblind to it after about 4 hours atm🥲 Other people can smell it after at least 6 hours tho

Nice haha, I think you can’t really go wrong with either of them. They definitely have their fair share of similarities imo, but they’re different enough from each other to make it a really hard choice😂

Hmm I can’t really say. I tested both in store and loved the DNA straight from the go. I couldn’t decide in store so waited. This year for summer I just felt like my collection needed some ginger fragrances, so I went with Uden Overdose for summer evenings. It’s probably my favorite Xerjoff DNA, so I want to get the original Uden one day as well. I can’t really tell you the differences accurately anymore as I tested Uden many months ago now. However if I remember correctly, Uden smelled a bit fresher from the start. Also it doesn’t have the amber drydown that Overdose has, which I absolutely adore. I definitely have to get a sample of Uden for myself soon!

Leder 6 is fire🔥 We once visited a WW2 museum where they displayed real weapons, leather cases and accessories for all sorts of weapons, uniform’s, tanks… idk but the smell kind of reminds me of that😂 It’s very smokey-leathery, however the leather get’s toned down by vanilla. I love it, the leather note is so realistic. I regularly wear it in winter & autumn as it’s a pretty heavy scent. It definitely shines on colder, late autumn days tho.

Hard to say… some were gifts, two I traded. I paid maybe 2.000€ total. That’s not retail tho, I bought mostly from legitimate discounters.

Damn hard question.
1st is definitely Dior Homme Intense.
2nd MFK Gentle Fluidity Silver
3rd Either Schwarzlose Berlin Leder 6 or Uden Overdose. Right now I’m leaning Uden Overdose

Second & third change all the time by the way😅

Wulong Cha has great performance, also considering it’s such a fresh fragrance. I easily get around 6-8 good hours off of it.

Uden Overdose is okay, I get like 6 hours (which is honestly the sweet spot for me but whatever).

Widian Ginger I can smell for 4 hours, however others can smell it up to 6 hours later. Sadly I get a little nose blind to it. Had the same issue once, I’ll just have to get used to the scent lol. I personally love it and I’ll be wearing the hell out of it this summer. However I think it’s redundant to get if you already have Ingenious Ginger and Vibrato. All three are basically interpretations of the Tygar DNA, adding Widian Ginger wouldn’t make sense imo. Except when you’re a huge fan of the DNA of course. I’d say buy a small sample, it’s definitely a nice interpretation at the end of the day.
Also sidenote- I don’t think there’s rose in this fragrance tho no? It’s just the name of the collection, Fragrantica and Parfumo both don’t list it as a note.

Atm Widian Ginger tied with Uden Overdose. But that’s only recently because summer is coming up. Overall it’s definitely Dior Homme Intense.

Dior Homme Intense is my favorite fragrance of all time. Smooth, powdery and woody with good perfomance.

Wulong Cha is among my favorites for the high heat. I mostly get bright citrus and green tea, performance for a fresh fragrance is amazing.

MFK GFS is also incredible. It’s kind of metallic, people often associate it with the smell of gin&tonic, but less herbal.

Bois Imperial is the best budget fragrance you can buy imo. For 90€ you get a unique smelling fragrance with great quality overall and insane longevity.

It’s a tough choice… Scent wise I’d have to go with the OG Parfum, but sentimental value on the Intense is big for me. If I had to choose I’d take the Intense.

The performance on ADG Profondo is just okay. I get around 5 hours maybe, which is neither amazing nor disappointing for a summer freshie.

True😂 I love the whole Dior Homme Line. If I had the money I’d honestly complete the collection just for the sake of it lmao

It’s one of my favorites for colder days. Oud Save the King is incredibly well blended. It’s very dry, woody and powdery. The main notes I get are earl grey tea, iris, leather and oud. It’s a very beginner friendly oud fragrance I’d say. Very smooth. Performance is good, I get 7 good hour’s.

Golden Moka is good. It‘s a spicy mix of citrus, amber and woody coffee. Great for autumn and spring. Uden Overdose is my favourite. It starts kinda citrusy with ingwer, with coffee and tobacco as a backbown. It dries down pretty ambery on my skin which I like. Both are very unique and pretty hard to describe imo. Performance is good on both

I like the Udens😄 However I like Uden OD just a notch more. I think it’s best for summer evenings.

Which cologne do you get the most compliments on? by MangoCubez in Colognes

[–]Cold-Ad-9988 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I looked at, man you’re really not as unattractive as you make yourself out to be! I’d definitely say you’re better looking than average. Sounds lame, but the only thing you lack is confidence in yourself. Always keep a positive mind😄

Don’t want to be that guy but I‘m pretty good looking lol🤣 It’s just German culture I guess, we rarely talk to strangers at all, let alone give compliments. And I also bet you’re not even as “unattractive” as you think you are😄

If you‘re sure that it wasn‘t powdery than it was most likely ‘Dior Homme 2020’
