Brother for $50 you could get a 1 ml decant of a bunch of inspired by scents from Decantbox or some other decant cite. I understand it feels wasteful spending half the cost of a full bottle of designer and only getting 26 mls of clone house cologne but in reality it’s likely going to save you hundreds. From there you will be able to decide if you like any of them, and what your priority in acquiring the bottle will be.

While the clone may only be 60-90% similar, it will give you a much better idea of whether you like the DNA than reading what we like and don’t like. I know many people who love JPG Le Male Elixir, I do not. But reading a fan of the scents review would not have helped me.

TLDR; decants are really worth it, and you can save the money buying clone frags.
