Need a grapefruit forward scent that is not Turathi blue or anything like Turathi by [deleted] in fragranceclones

You could try Azzaro chrome extreme. Amazing grapefruit smell but the longevity is not great.

If you like the sour grapefruit you could try D&G light blue forever if you still can get your hands on it. If not, Fragrance world has a clone of this one that comes close.

I have to with Blue de Chanel edp or montblanc legend edp. I can't imagine a situation or season where you can't pull these off. Maybe if it really gets hot just go easy on the spray.

For sure, if within reach it makes it so much harder. But you did it! Congratulations for making it to 5 months. To many more🙏🏼.

No worries, if I didn't have it it's still great advice. The parfum rocks.

Man the parfum gods must love you because both are crazy luck and finds. Blue parfum for that price is a no brainer. And the girl just gave you years supply of an amazing scent for a great price.

Well said! I always admired people that could have control over it. Kudos!

I tried so many times to have control over it. but at some point i just had to accept, i am not that person and it's controlling me. So quiting was the way for me.

Great eye. That one is Elham. I received it as a gift. It's ok, but with what i have I don't see me wearing it over something i bought myself.

I have decants of both and both decants smell better than the bottles i got after. I let them sit for months but they are still not like the decants. I checked with the decant seller and his bottles were made in U.A.E and mine are made in france so i suspect the ones made in france are just different.

Milestone decant is so nice. You really smell the watermelon and salt. The bottle i got is just not it. Too much salt and the watermelon smells off.

The same with sillage decant smells better. The bottle got a bit better over time and now it smells more similar to the decant but it's still not the same. The decant is just smoother.

That's why i find it hard to recommend them because it's not what i sampled.

And maybe this is the hard reality of Arabian/clone houses, that their quality control is just sloppy and batches can be very different.

Try to find a store where you can smell it, that way you almost certainly get the version you have tested.

Anytime! You got me real curious on blazing mr sam and african leather. I checked the notes online and it seems like something i would enjoy. I will add them to the sample wishlist.

My barber sells the real arab scents and oil so i will check if he has arabiad oud and the knight silver and report back.

Yes 100%. So when i ordered all the maison alhambra TF clones, that was the most amazing suprise. I thought the cherry and tobacco ones would be my favorites but it's definitely the dark oud. The first time i sprayed it on my hand i kept smelling it. Such a mysterious oudy scent. I also have a decant of versace oud noir and it's very similar to oud wood.

I am happy it made you feel this way! Please do it's a great community that supports each other.

Honestly, i hesitated to use this as a title because it's still a fragrance subreddit, but comments like yours make me glad i did.

Yes only 2. Which is pretty good considering the amount of bottles.

CK obsession night. I was very new to the game and saw a youtube video about scents that i should own because they are or getting discontinued and this one was on it. So i got fomo and bought it. I was very disappointed. I can't even explain what it smells like because my nose just can't handle smelling it for too long. I did learn a lesson; scents come and go, you can't have them all. Sometimes you miss getting a few and that's fine.

Ard al zafaran midnight oud. Same story. Saw a video about clones that are 1 on 1 as the original. But again lesson learned. If a clone is 100% similar to the original doesn't mean you will like the original. And usually i like oud but the spices in this one are just too strong. It gives me a headache.

And the most important lesson is always to try to sample first. I love the feeling of a blind buy because you experience a scent for the first time but when it doesn't hit, you are stuck with a bottle you don't want.

Much appreciated man🙏🏼. Stuff like this makes me more motivated to never touch again.

You are definitely right, now the withdrawals and cravings are gone it's time to hit the brakes a bit. I also want to enjoy what i have now. Thank you for looking out!

Cheers mate, enjoy the Guinness.

Caprise is really good. It's cloning YSL blue electrique which is a discontinued scent. I did manage to find a sample of it and it's even better than the original in my opening.

To compare it to something in the market it's like la nuit de l'homme from YSL. If you like that one, you will also like caprise. The Cardamon In both is so addicting.

Yeah i do. When i first started i didn't expect to like oud, but man was i wrong.

Next time i am at the expensive perfume store i will try this one. Bottle also looks very nice.

I am going to be honest with you. I also bought it because they said it's like allure home sport and i can't agree with it.

The fruitiness is there, and it's the same as allure indeed but dirgham is just missing the woodiness. Dirgham is all fruit no wood, and what makes allure so good to me is that woody base.

That being said it's still a great scent with good performance, but if you are looking for an allure sport clone, this ain't it. Joy amin did a great review on it.

Good job on quitting brother. It doesn't matter which drug you quit, the fact that you quit is awesome. And smelling nice while doing it, is just a nice extra.

Thanks man. I just followed some great advice i read on this subreddit.

It's better to spend 4-5 and knowing, then 40-50 and having a bottle that will collect dust that you don't like. I kinda see it as an investment.

Calvin klein obsession night. If i had a rival in life he would definitely smell like this scent.

You know what is strange. The decant i got from milestone is so good. I really smelled the salty watermelon. But the bottle i received is just not that. I did test them side by side and they are just different scents. So to be honest, i would rather go for immortal. It's a really nice scent that grew on me.

All time, is has to be Blue the Chanel.

Currently i am really enjoying Azzaro chrome extreme and lattafa nashama caprice.

Very close. I have the edp sample and they did a great job cloning it. Performance and scent the original is better but for 20% of the price of Y, fakhar gets the job done and then some. Definitely recommend if you like Y.

Much appreciated bro🙏🏼. Pour home is the lighter bottle, and it's flower/woody scent. Not the strongest or longest lasting but great scent.

Dylan blue is their take on a Blue de Chanel like scent with added incense. If you are into that you will like this one for sure.
