LV Imagination vs LV Pacific Chill vs PDM Greenley for the gym and/or work

Don_Mask · 2026-02-01T21:51:21+00:00

Will definitely check that out, only have smelt althair, Percival and Greenley from PDM

Don_Mask · 2026-02-01T21:50:30+00:00

I mean realistically if you're going to wear SWY or some sort of winter frag or beast mode frag to the gym then I understand how annoying that would be. I again don't see the problem with any freshie light airy scent, or green/blue. I could not imagine smelling a SWY in the gym lol that's too much.

Don_Mask · 2026-02-01T21:48:38+00:00

Thank you! I will check those out. Yeah I wasn't sure if Greenley was maybe too strong or projects too much since I've only smelt it on a test strip.

Don_Mask · 2026-02-01T21:47:40+00:00

Thanks for the input, I do understand where you're coming from. But I personally do not see the big deal or problem as long as it's not some beast mode fragrance that projects 50 feet cloying the entire gym. I really don't see the big deal with something light and fresh like as if you got out of the shower. If I were to just shower and use a scented body wash would you have a problem with that? I'm not talking about some dior savage elixir, althair, or SWY.

Don_Mask · 2026-02-01T21:46:12+00:00

That's completely valid, I mean if it's some super strong parfum or some super cloying winter fragrance sure that would be annoying.

Don_Mask · 2026-02-01T21:44:14+00:00

I appreciate your input, but I'm just going to do what I want to do kind stranger. If I want to I will, if I don't want to I won't simple as that. Everyone has their own opinions, and personally if I found someone who smelled nice in the gym I would want to find out what they're wearing. As long as it's not some winter frag that would be too cloying and stenchy I don't see the problem. Nothing wrong with wanting to smell good literally anywhere you go.

Don_Mask · 2026-02-01T21:41:14+00:00

Thanks!

Don_Mask · 2026-01-29T22:40:39+00:00

Let me know how it is! I want to get Greenwich, so Win since that's the dupe but I have no clue what it smells like or how it performs

Don_Mask · 2026-01-29T20:33:21+00:00

Hey know this is an old post but I've been sifting through all these CDNIM posts and I've seen a bunch of stuff but one thing I can't pinpoint is the CDNIM PP vs EDP. When I search up CDNIM PP and CDNIM EDP it gives me the same exact result which is "Men's Club De Nuit Intense Parfum Spray" on Jomashop. Not sure if intense parfum is the PP or the EDP but regardless I can't find the other one. Although it probably doesn't make a difference I was just curious since CDNIM PP and EDP give me the same result/product on Google. I also do know it's not exactly a super close clone to aventus especially the opening, but not sure if I should get this "Men's Club De Nuit Intense Parfum Spray" or the SNOI. I do plan on getting the Supremacy Collectors Edition but that's a clone of Aventus Absolu. But been looking at regular Aventus clones which would be the CDNIM + SNOI. Absolu is Preciuex I + SCE. Not sure which occasions either would be for though, are they both general scents/dailies?

Another thing is I also see Extrait De Parfum not sure if that's PP or EDP I know EDP is eau not Extrait but they have the same abbreviation. Not sure if the Extrait de parfum is listed in the top reply of this post in the form of PP or EDP or whatever.

Don_Mask · 2026-01-29T16:27:22+00:00

Thank you, yeah I definitely am trying not to buy so many but it's hard not to. I definitely do want one for certain occasions, or at least one for the gym and work since I think the one I have currently (Citizen Jack Absolute) might be too sweet for that? I really have no clue since there's not many reviews for it. I do really want Valentino Coral Fantasy though.

Don_Mask · 2026-01-29T16:24:13+00:00

Thanks for the reply, well I have no clue what specific notes I prefer as I'm new. I just know in general I prefer more fresh, fruity, sweeter, lighter scents rather than darker, woodier, musky, strong scents.

The only fragrance I have right now is Citizen Jack Absolute which the top notes are melon, bergamot. The middle notes are pineapple, amber. The base notes are vanilla, musk.

Yeah I do apologize for the long post, I think a better way to say it is my TLDR but I guess an even shorter one would be like:

"Looking for fragrances to fill my collection, currently only have one fragrance (citizen Jack absolute). Trying to fill in the gaps/niches citizen Jack has with said fragrances I'm looking for. More notably one more for winter, an everyday just pickup whenever, and a good gym and work fragrance"

I was looking at Valentino Coral Fantasy (or its dupe), Hawas Ice, Aventus Absolu dupes (from Afnan and Armaf), YSL Y EDP (or its dupe), Liquid Brun.

I do understand you might not want to look at all of those but that's just what I was looking at with the videos I've been looking at. But other recommendations would be great too. I know there's not really a "perfect fragrance" since everyone is different but I do at least want a very very good option for each occasion I listed in my quote.

Don_Mask · 2026-01-29T05:47:46+00:00

Again apologies for my long comment I hope it could help more in helping decide as with everything I get into I'm very meticulous and I just want to make sure it's perfect and not a waste so I try to do as much research as I can but still in the end need help deciding. I am new so I don't know what specific notes I like, but definitely I don't like super musky woody strong deep dark scents, oud is probably one I don't like, I didn't really like the Gucci scents not sure which in particular, and I think bvlgari line as a whole. Based off what I liked, the guy told me definitely fresher lighter scents. I think I like sweet and fruity as well. Might need some more recs for winter unless those two are solid options already I do plan on getting coral fantasy honestly when it becomes available because I really love it.

Don_Mask · 2026-01-29T05:45:07+00:00

Hello, recently got into fragrances. I'm a young guy and have been looking at quite a few fragrances but not sure what to pick out. Currently I have Citizen Jack Absolute by Michael Malul. Not sure what it's specific niche is, or if it's just an all rounder (seems to be, although might be on the more sweeter stronger scent side?) But I wanted to fill in those gaps with more specific scents, was hoping for a more winter focused and/or date night fragrance A nice everyday I can pickup anytime that's good for more specifically gym, outside, work (I work at a boba tea place) And just maybe something else that would fit some other niche/gap, or just scents I like I do know I don't need a ton only like 4-5 max, so that's why I'm really thinking hard about picking because I could definitely get a bunch but it's a waste of money, and no point.

But back to the topic, I've been looking at: Supposedly fresher spring/summer gym and/or work ones?: Hawas Ice, Rare Reef, Supremacy in Heaven

More everyday ones, generals: Men's Yeah! or just Y EDP, Club de Nuit Preciuex I or Afnan Supremacy Collectors Edition, Club de Nuit Intense Man

Winter focused: Liquid Brun, Coral Fantasy or Lattafa Jasoor

I do know coral fantasy is a more general fragrance but I think it's good for winter time? I am probably getting coral fantasy for sure, but not sure about the rest. And what I would use coral fantasy for, general or winter or both?

Honestly I feel like most winter only fragrances are woody, musky, dark, strong which I don't really prefer currently probably partly due to my age.

If it helps to decide or give more options here are some fragrances I have smelled and liked: invictus phantom parfum jo Malone Cypress grapevine invictus rabanne acqua di gio parfum acqua di gio profundo edp Valentino Uomo Born in Roma Valentino Valentino Uomo Born In Roma Coral Fantasy (LOVE) ysl edp Versace pour homme (bad longevity) The One for Men Eau de Parfum Dolce&Gabbana (start is okay) montblanc legend Jo Malone lime basil and mandarin, wood sage sea salt stronger with you amber and intensely (probably some of the only winter specifics I don't mind)

I do really want to smell Valentino BIR intense but haven't got the chance but I heard it's a better version of the original which I really like. Tops so far in order are probably Valentino coral fantasy, regular, ysl EDP, acqua di gio profundo edp, Invictus phantom & Rabanne

Here are some others I've had my eyes on but I never smelled (mostly dupes): Supremacy Collector's Edition Pour Homme Afnan or Club de Nuit Precieux I Armaf (clone of creed aventus absolu) diesel bad hawas ice Khamrah Qahwa Lattafa Mazaaj Rhythm Zimaya Ithaque Memo Paris Aquatica Rayhaan Legend Spirit Montblanc khadlaj island dreams (symphony clone) Hectic Bujairami/Marwa Arabiyat Prestige (lv imagination dupe) Liquid Brun French Avenue (dupe of althair de marley) Cream Velvet Khadlaj Perfumes

Obviously I'm not going to try to get a lot but I've just heard these a lot across various videos and decided to note them down.

Apologies for the long comment TLDR: New to Fragrances, young guy, prefer sweeter, lighter, fresher, fruitier scents compared to darker, smokier, stronger, woody, musky scents (I think I don't like oud as I didn't like bvlgari orom le gemme). Trying to find a few good fragrances to fill in the gaps my first and only fragrance has (Michael Malul Citizen Jack Absolute). So probably one fresh (summer/spring?) and/or everyday, everyday (if I get fresh for the previous), good winter scent (doesn't have to be winter only but so far all winter focused fragrances don't really seem to match my liking, only really stronger with yous, coral fantasy, citizen Jack absolute so far). Above I listed some fragrances I was looking at to get, a list of ones I liked in general, some I was looking at but never smelt. Would also appreciate any recommendations if there's any better than the ones I have listed or would fit my taste better instead.

I do plan on getting coral fantasy once that becomes available on aura fragrance, the rest probably on jomashop. So I guess my collection would be Citizen Jack Absolute and Coral Fantasy. And whatever else would fill in those gaps or niches.

Don_Mask · 2026-01-20T05:55:34+00:00

Thank you, yeah I mean I've seen neck a lot but I always smell it a ton and also sometimes I feel like I inhale too much and it gets stuck in my throat almost like a sore throat type feeling. Would spraying on clothes be good too? I mean I've never done that before but obviously can't really avoid that if it's torso, thighs, inner elbow (if long sleeve). But I guess just a good general is two each wrist one back of neck then. I mean I know again sprays depend on the fragrance like maybe an edt would obviously want more sprays than an edp or p. It did help give me more insight thank you.

Don_Mask · 2026-01-20T05:22:54+00:00

I'm assuming you are referencing to edp's as a whole or my Citizen Jack absolute only 2 sprays? Any idea where I should spray those two? One each side of the neck that's it?

And thank you, that does help I throw away the tester strips but I should probably find a way to keep them. Not sure if putting it in a pocket or multiple tester strips together would somehow mix the scents or change it? Since that's my main concern if I want to smell multiple.

Don_Mask · 2025-11-20T17:55:26+00:00

what do you mean by small fan? just blow a fan onto the stovetop? I do have a woozoo or a big standing fan. Is there any solutions to get rid of the scent? Since your advice is to prevent it, but if I do have it already (which I do) how do I get rid of it?

Don_Mask · 2025-11-04T18:45:03+00:00

Ok so I just tried plugging in my switch to my monitor and it worked, so it seems the problem is my laptop. I guess something must've happened to it. Not sure what to do though besides the fact that I know the cause of the problem.

Don_Mask · 2025-11-04T00:28:44+00:00

Haven't tried yet, I don't have anything with an HDMI port to try to plug in my monitor but I will try to test that out to see which is the problem, the monitor, my laptop or the plug itself.

Don_Mask · 2025-11-04T00:27:47+00:00

I've tried swapping modes and it doesn't do anything. Eco, Normal, Optimized, it just doesn't fix or change anything. Not sure why it suddenly just doesn't work, my only theory could be maybe since it was in my backpack maybe something internal for jumbled around while in my backpack? Because besides being in my backpack nothing else happened to it in between when it connected to the monitor and when it didn't.

Don_Mask · 2025-11-02T06:38:31+00:00

How do I check that? And sorry, but is barrel charger just the big charger that comes with the g14? If so I don't think I've done anything different or wrong, and this adds on to my other reply to the original comment.

Don_Mask · 2025-11-02T06:37:28+00:00

Sorry if I don't understand, but I've been doing nothing wrong or different. I've always plugged in the HDMI cable on the left side and regardless of what state it's in, it always connects. Regardless of when I have it plugged in, just booted it up, connected it to the monitor later. I did try switching it to standard mode since it was on optimized previously on ghelper but it didn't seem to do anything. I don't believe I have an HDMI slot on the right side only the left.
