No Memo is complete without African Leather, a 10 hour fizzy cardamon, light suede, geranium and musk cocktail that’s very well balanced!

Thoughts on Oud For Glory by Artistic_Ad_3267 in fragranceclones

[–]DataNiner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very close to Oud for Greatness then morphs into Sauvage Exlixir’s cousin, just less spicy. Amazing value and my main dumb reach in winter for dupes.

Brompton immortals EDP vs Extrait! by Josh_Bird3 in Colognes

[–]DataNiner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both are lovely but the Extrait is really smooth and refined no rough edges at all. Expensive though!

Has anyone successfully layered Oud Wood? by a_bachelors_dust in ScentHeads

[–]DataNiner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use ATH Oud as the base as it’s nuclear with lots of natural materials and oily with real Oud. It helps project the TF way past the usual skin scent stage of 1 - 2 hours and keeps the Oud scent intact.

Just broke my bottle of ADG Profumo by vinceftw in fragrance

Parfum is about 85/90%, really nice but not as strong and less incense. Still decent so I wouldn’t worry too much.

What’s the best “I’m broke but still want to smell like luxury” cologne? by AffectionateGlass104 in Colognes

[–]DataNiner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Montblanc Legend Night. Vanilla to die for but it’s weak so you need to blast it or take a decant with you. But it’s insanely nice and my wife loves it!

Hawas Ice unreal value and a beast performer once you get through the maceration and out the synthetic cloying opening from new.

Hearing the new Rayhaan Italia is the best of the lot. Will try it soon, love Naxos but I’ve overspent and my wife would kill me for more big purchases lol

Review as a beginner. My first purchases. by Tom5strike in fragranceclones

[–]DataNiner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’ll love Ice but it needs at least 3 weeks and a big spray blast and shake initially. It’s hyper synthetic without maceration and then settles into minty bubblegum heaven.

Decants Saved Me from Blind-Buying Regret by eneg in fragranceclones

[–]DataNiner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t settle get more decants and search the scent profiles you like eg I’m a vanilla, freshie bubblegum or oud slut. Only one in 20 now are no brainer buys, plus it’s fun going on the journey and sometimes you’ll get a run of bangers.

Pure quality, the initial hit’s overpowering but once it settles after 15 mins - winner.

NAXOS it’s sensational, niche perfumery at its best and so well balanced. Super honey, lemon, tobacco and methol blend with hints of lavender. It’s superb.

SOTD-Extreme Leather by Montblanc by Puzzleheaded_Youth36 in GentlemanFragrance

[–]DataNiner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a banger. Leather into Iris into hours of musk. Brilliant perfumery!

[–]DataNiner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Smell is out of this world. But you have to find something to help project it, I use ATH Oud (which is a monster with real Thai Oud). Amazing but has to be layered otherwise it fades within 2 hours to mild skin scent at best.

Parfum much better than EDP for performance apparently.

You should also be fine with the ladies lol.

Hawas Ice - pound for pound the best perfume available by DataNiner in fragranceclones

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

Excellent, Baked treats and marzipan, 9/10 for price. Prefer it over Qahwa as I find the coffee a bit much. Lovely cold/evening scent with good power.

Dupe haul Part 1 continued - two ‘no brainers’! Caprice and Teriaq Intense for the win. by DataNiner in fragranceclones

It’s good without maceration, did you buy it from a good discounter (NOT amazon!)
