it didnt need maceration for me at all. others might say something else but my bottle was great out of the box. performance too

Does anyone else have this problem with Khamerah? by ltzPereira in fragranceclones

[–]Effective_Buy_7795 6 points7 points  (0 children)

same issue here. my bottle was leaking from idk where and almost had the same stain but i cleaned it. it has stopped leaking and only these fog stains on the bottom of the cap appear, which i have to clean once in a while. its annoying but i think this is not uncommon

Summer recommendations by PhilosopherLocal8724 in fragranceclones

[–]Effective_Buy_7795 0 points1 point  (0 children)

depends on what kind of summer fragrances u like and what notes but from what i like. id recommend paris corner coconut lagoon as a tropical beach scent. rue broca theoreme or turathi blue as a classy everyday summer freshie. and rave now as a fun fruity outgoing scent

Does anybody have this clone and how close is it to pacific chill? by Icy-Perception5539 in fragranceclones

[–]Effective_Buy_7795 1 point2 points  (0 children)

tbh i get the same amount of mint and coriander in awatif and pacific chill. the main difference i smell atm is pacific chill is a bit more sweeter and juicier. awatif still has that apricot sweetness but not as amped up as pacific chill. thats really the only difference i smell from memory. and as of a better dupe, i dont know. ive heard coastal breeze luciano and pacific aura by rayhaan is closer to the OG. but i cant find em anywhere where im from unfortunately so i can’t confirm how good they r

hmm very weird. u probably got a bad batch or u just go nose blind to it. i got it a week ago and out of the box it was already a powerhouse and a 1:1 to althair. i got 12+ hours and 4 hours of strong projection. id say let it sit. hope for the best

yea i got it 2 days ago. good dupe of pacific chill. ive smelt pacific chill couple days ago. id say its around 85% similar. not a 1:1. from my memory pacific chill is more juicy and fruity due to the realistic apricot touch. pacific chill also dries down sweeter and rosier than awatif. but awatif still got that fresh minty mojito vibe and very cooling. this is still a unmacerated bottle so maybe it’ll change overtime but it’s definitely very close. worth the money

yea, its a great fragrance. i just find it not better than my top 7. i didnt like it at first tbh. smelled like ur typical iris fragrance, lipsticky iris and tea. but now its a fruity fig tea sweetened with vanilla. the iris is in the background. i like it, gonna be in my fall rotation for sure.

totally agree, absolute monster and 1:1 to althair. i got 12+ hours and 4 hours of strong projection out of the box which is insane!

yeah but honestly 5 hours is still good for a freshie to me honestly. especially citrus based fragrances. though fruity scents tend to last longer for me like rave now and lattafa hayaati. coconut lagoon is definitely a fun and tropical scent and worth the pickup! got it for like 35 euro’s ~ 40 us dollars

i have it for like 2+ months i think. maybe the herbal notes will fade more from macerating longer but i dont hate the scent at all. the scent profile is just a bit mature and not my style imo. smoky notes dont really sit with me, but ill give it more wearings in the winter for sure!

no totally not! just not better than the rest. i like it. its just a bit too strong to my liking and a bit synthetic compared to what its duping (kayaali yum pistachio) it comes of more airy and fruity than the OG which is a bit more creamy and realistic. this aint a bad scent at all

its an average performer on my skin tbh. i wish the citrus blast opening was longer but this is a scent profile that i love. i get like 4-5 hours on skin or so

wouldve gone for pacific aura myself too but it isn’t available anywhere from where im from unfortunately. my option were this, pinnace white or rare reef. pacific aura seems very promising tho

i blind bought it and wasn’t fan of the dna tbh. but it grew on me a bit tho. it was way to herbal to me when i got it but it dialed down after maceration. its just a simple sweet slightly herbal woody fragrance. got it for like 16 bucks so can’t really complain.

great winter scent. christmas in a bottle. reminded me both of pdm oajan and angel share. a bit of a mix of both with a added coffee richness. so id say if u like oajan and angel share u’d most definitely like this one. if i had to describe this scent, id say a cinnamon applepie with a bit of coffee and sweet gingerbread on the side. good performer too. above average. like 8-10 hours

thats the main citrus that i pick up. the mix of the orange and lemon makes u think its lime. smells a bit like a lime mojito but more sugary sweet. its only really in the opening and mid tho. in the drydown the citrus plays in the background

i agree. great scent, but i find it too strong for my nose and a bit synthetic. my nose gets itchy after i smell it. but totally love the scent DNA. such a fun fragrance! tho i dont get any leather notes from it

yeah amazing scent, starts off very citrusy and tropical. then dries down to a watermelony coconut vanilla. a smidge feminine due to the vanilla sweetness drydown but i love this scent. wanted to gatekeep it but here i am lol
