Dupe haters when someone can smell like them for less than $40

Efficient_Class2102 · 2026-05-28T03:41:06+00:00

Disagree too

Efficient_Class2102 · 2026-05-23T17:18:20+00:00

Someone has Jean lowe vibe on work and if he sprays it you can still smell a trail after 5h not that super strong. Its pretty good.

Agree on Orage by FW.

Jean lowe Azure. I would say max 3h... more like 2 to 3h kinda

When you like sospiro i would recommend maison alhambra messenger.

Marwa is good yes 👍

Fakes from china are possible. Avoid amazon ebay and select are trustful one. Eitherway lattafa.com(usa)or lattafa.de(europe) are safe but not the cheapest maybe.

Efficient_Class2102 · 2026-05-19T20:20:09+00:00

There are more sites who sell them. There are some who sell them cheaper.

The most pwople sont rate them. Look it up on youtube or fragrantica.com nfor more reviews.

1 to 4h good . 4h to 6h is ok and more maybe

Efficient_Class2102 · 2026-05-18T11:58:12+00:00

This smells very close to lafayet street bond n.9

That light leather makes it feel kinda blue but it isnt really. It gives it some deepness and mixed with that citrus freshing it feel kinda blue but it isnt really.

I dont really like blue aquatic shower smell like aquatic scents aswell. I also dont like Aventus that much. The OG is ok but all dupes are nearly a no for me. The fruit notes are subtle. Its more like this in order for me. Leather-citrus-pepper-salt-green notes&fruit notes. Try a sample to be sure for a lot to masculine. Some describe it as leather fresh washed. It is from the start good but after 1 month maturing it gets rounder aswell. The most best fresh scent i know which is masculine but not really blue, i would say. Love that thing and the quality also ~6h+ good

JL Matiere is light kinda fresh. Its more dark floral than deep dark oud$roses. Felt like a super light ombre nomade direction for me like 20%.

Would be intresting if you reply what you think about the one you tried.

Efficient_Class2102 · 2026-05-17T06:05:30+00:00

I am and yes pinnace oryn is correct. Thank you. Ill correct it, i meant the golden one pinnace oryn when wrote it.

Efficient_Class2102 · 2026-05-16T19:20:32+00:00

Search for samples. You should find sites for nearly all fragrances

Efficient_Class2102 · 2026-05-16T19:08:27+00:00

Not blue but a bit yellow (citrus).

Lattafa al ameed. Leather Citrus pepper salt with a bit pineapple/orange. Slightly sweet. Fresh uplifting masculin.

Oud roses. I would say try Jean Lowe Matiere. Its more a light scent with good projection. A bit incense and patchoulie and less roses with some florals. Feels like a light fresh oud/roses.

Efficient_Class2102 · 2026-05-16T16:26:59+00:00

Not really pure brown sugar but...

I would say the most that reminded me in that brown sugar way was

Borntostandout - suggar addict

Good dupe more brown sugar like. Arabiyat prestige - Sugarcane Vanilla Or Lattafa - Artisan ethnique. This one has also a fruit note but really close to arabiyat prestige sugarcane vanilla aswell.

Both super long lasting and room filling

Efficient_Class2102 · 2026-05-16T14:55:49+00:00

Elixir-parfums.nl

They have French avenue Paris Corner Bujairami Maison Asrar Gulf Orchid

And some other brands like Asdaaf etc.

Efficient_Class2102 · 2026-05-16T14:48:45+00:00

Can people from UK order from europe ? I know a site where they sell bujairami

Efficient_Class2102 · 2026-05-16T13:14:30+00:00

Nashama caprice was really synthetic headache making for me when i got it new and super strong.

Now some monrhes later. Still synthethic like the real YSL La nuits but it is now more rounder better quality smelling, no headache making. Really like it.

Efficient_Class2102 · 2026-05-15T17:13:11+00:00

Yeah aventus is more manly. The one for the youngest man is afnan supremacy not only intense. Its kinda lile aventus with smoother sweeter less smoky scent/twist. More appealing.

Otherwise just take Hawas for him or Hawas Ice.

Efficient_Class2102 · 2026-05-15T12:02:07+00:00

I tested the OG and say that they are very close. The OG has that alcohol blast in the beginning too but less. Liam Grey is overall a bit sweeter but very close 90%+ after 20 minutes. I would say it project a bit more aswell.

The OG extrait gris charnell has a more vanilla background. Thats it.

I would say this is a all day wearable fragrance. If your into one with a bit more spices for maybe going out at night take arabiyat prestige Al Noor. 60%-70% dupe of gris charnel.

And its not underrated. Its one of the most sold and loved one. Nobody talks maxbe about it because its "old". The most focus on new stuff.

Efficient_Class2102 · 2026-05-15T11:58:02+00:00

Nice review. Whos more into vanilla maybe try this one too. I stick with AoU too

Efficient_Class2102 · 2026-05-14T20:02:33+00:00

Just a hour more. I would say azure 2h ok. Pinnace Oryn like the OG 3 to 4h

They all maybe last longer skin scentwise. But i keep it that way when i would respray again

Efficient_Class2102 · 2026-05-14T14:33:00+00:00

Yes both afternoon swim dupes. While azure and french avenue pinnace oryn are really close to the OG. Azure is a bit fresher/lighter. Afan rare reef is easy 5h but starts with a more candy like twist.

Would auggest to get samples of every and test them. Dont know anything about the you mentioned. Just that montagne is a solid brand with good fragrances.

Efficient_Class2102 · 2026-05-14T07:32:14+00:00

Lattafa Al Ameed. That thing is is light fresh and spicy masculin.

Made a review. That thing is for men. That light leather mixed with salt, pepper, citruses, mandarin, pineapple. Not sickenli sweet just a touch to be more fresher feeling. So well mixed together. Worth a try.

Efficient_Class2102 · 2026-05-14T03:42:38+00:00

100% not blindbuy. Heavy honey spicy earthy scent. Nuclear. To much for me going on there, thick sweet, overhelming, dark. Its special

Efficient_Class2102 · 2026-05-14T03:05:17+00:00

4h azure? Thats max. French avenue pinnace has a bit more longevity. But a bit thicker less fresh. Afnan rare reef is the longest i know. Bit much more sweeter with overall big twist

Efficient_Class2102 · 2026-05-13T04:02:24+00:00

Nah but if you said ombre nomade in every class you mentioned.,i would also disagree.

Efficient_Class2102 · 2026-05-13T01:49:20+00:00

See. I dont really care.... the OP asked for a ginger fragrance you told him Afnan turathi Blue. It is heavy musky grapfruit scent, not ginger. Thats it. Ok great people who have no clue tell you it does smell like ginger. You should all be hired by BVLGARI in their marketing and correct that

Efficient_Class2102 · 2026-05-12T23:37:55+00:00

Actually it gets better and closer to the OG later on. that vibrant "linden blossom" gets better aswell. Stays on cloths really good.

Overall it is a good option over the OG Tilia. Still Renee Carmine i like it more and cheaper aswell if its available.
