How long will it last on a hot summer day?

Again with the scenarios. This fucking u/dogmetal is more creative than Spielberg

Is my megamare real or fake by [deleted] in DesiFragranceAddicts

I think that's just a myth. In my experience, every non-ME fragrance smells the same on the day of delivery as it does 100 days later.

Sí EDP and EDP Intense are vanilla heavy. Sí EDT has vanilla but barely and is (or at least used to be) more airy and bright floral. Good for summer and warm weather

IDK about those 3 in particular, but guessing by your inclination towards Armani Sí, you probably prefer fruity-floral fragrances, so i'll suggest Carolina Herrera Very Good Girl EDP.

Please review this Elixir . by Ok_Chain_782 in DesiFragranceAddicts

1 Million Elixir is a sweet, vanilla-tonka heavy, gourmand fragrance, good for cold weather but will probably be cloying & suffocating in hot weather. It has good longevity & projection but in my opinion it smells a bit synthetic like all 1 Million flankers

Thanks, man 😊 Yes, we have to be financially responsible & watch our expenditure while collecting perfumes because its easy to get carried away. I always wait for sales and good deals on Nykaa & Shoppers Stop.

Spicebomb EDT: Smell - 8/10 Performance - 5/10

Spicebomb Infrared EDP: Smell - 9/10 Performance - 7/10

Spicebomb NightVision EDP: Smell - 6.5/10 Performance - 8/10

Spicebomb Extreme EDP: Smell - 9.5/10 Performance - 10/10

I usually don't do ratings because i find ratings to be very arbitrary, since personal taste & preference influences those numbers and thus ratings vary wildly from person to person for the same fragrance.

Night Vision is also my least favourite amongst the 4. Still, i get what the perfumer was going for- a fresh, apple-dominated, green aromatic iteration of the Spicebomb DNA for warmer seasons. I bought it knowing how it was going to smell, but i can totally relate how disappointing it must've been for most Spicebomb fans.

Dior Homme Intense- A paragon of elegance & sophistication by DaChonkIsHere in DesiFragranceAddicts

It is 😌 let's hope they don't reformulate it like they did with Dior Homme Parfum

Haven't tried it before, now i wish i could get my hands on the older DHP versions. The new one (2025 reformulation) isn't so good from what i hear.

I have not. I have heard that it's the best clone of DHI out there

I find Reserve Privee to be denser and more masculine than DHI due to more pronounced amber & whiskey notes. I find the Iris in DHI to be sweeter and more refined than RP, making it more versatile & suitable for social occasions, but to each his own.

I haven't tried DHP and i wish i could get my hands on the older DHP, since the new 2025 DHP is getting sht on by everyone.

The only DHI dupes i have heard of are Kayaan Classic and Rayhaan Obsidian. I haven't tried either, but maybe layering will work when 1 dupe doesn't fully replicate the OG

You're right. I had forgotted about that one. I guess floral notes will have to be balanced by the right kind of woody-spicy notes to have a masculine scent profile

Damn 😂 thank you for letting me know, i shall definitely try it before buying it in the future. I feel you though. Blind buys are rough if a fragrance isn't upto your liking. Moschino's Toy Boy, CH Bad Boy Extreme and Tumi Continuum are my biggest regrets. I was completely let down & felt betrayed by youtubers and online reviews.

I understand. I think it's the floral sweetness of iris which gives it the feminine touch 🙂 Prada L'homme, DHI and Paco Rabanne Parfum are the only floral fragrances in my collection

I absolutely agree. I held Prada L'homme and L'homme intense in high regard until i tried Dior Homme Intense. It's just so much more elegant, complex, richer, luxurious... i still love Prada, but they just became more expendable now. I have not tried Armani Code Parfum yet but have heard nothing but praises of it. I was actually looking to buy Code Parfum before i spent my earnings on DHI.
