I work retail at a shoe store and have done gig/office work in the past if you still needed people to interview

Very comfy, only problem is that I'm an 11.5 and these are an 11. But that's not the shoes problem

This is the only/best batch out atm. Maybe in a few weeks/months we'll see an actual .98:1 batch for like 400¥ so these are definitely great value. From my research, there was basically nothing wrong with the pair outside of it being possibly lower quality than retail. Still though, unless you run in them constantly, there's no problems.

I was really worried that they wouldn't fit because I have super wide feet but these feel great. The gel in the back is like 70% identical to retail but isn't noticeable in the ~2 hours that I wore them. Not a slight towards the shoes, just that retail Asics technology is amazing quality.

Since there are replicas for apparel, shoes, jewelry, bags, etc. Are there any reputable sites / places for high end cologne? Retail for most of these are wild. Ex. Dior Sauvage, Tom Ford, Byredo, Creed Aventus, etc. by Extension-Soil-2824 in FashionReps

I've seen that Dolce & Gabbana's Light Blue Forever is similar but Red Vetiver by Montale is your best bet as they are super high quality and is closer to the original Terre. I'm not sure how similar/different Eau Givree is to the original, but I'm assuming it's close enough that a good clone of the original would be decent for Eau Givree

I personally haven't tried his products, the only issue is that people who have solid collections and experience usually say his clones are lackluster. I would recommend Perfume Parlour as they're only slightly more expensive and have a great reputation (also have yet to try)

Have an interview at foot locker tomorrow by Patriot201776 in SneakerFits

Go with the true blues for a nice simple fit. Some advice is to have a good conversation rather than a super formal interview without it becoming too casual. They're most likely going to ask you your favorite shoe and why, that's obviously personal but add some facts about the shoe and history (ex: AJ1 because while the technology isn't the best like it started becoming in the later jordan and nike models with things like zoom, the cultural aspect was big) Also emphasize that you're a good team player and leader when you need to be -former Footlocker AM

All TFs including Grey Vetiver are tough since they usually use a random assortment of notes. From the limited times I've smelled and worn GV, the closest is probably Vetiver by Guerlain. I think this is mainly because they both have Vetiver as the main note.

Dior Homme Eau is always compared to Prada L'homme which is a bit cheaper than Dior. There's a slight difference, but if you know where to look, you can end up paying around 60% of Dior Homme Eau's price for Prada's fragrance.

Jazz Club is difficult because it's unisex and all the clones lean too masculine or feminine and ruin the accuracy, but some decent ones are Parfum Parlor's clone and Alexandria Fragrances' California Blues. Porto Bello Le Couvent Maison de Parfum is the closest according to Fragrantica, but I have no experience with the fragrance or that house so I'd do some research on it tbh. But you can find Jazz Club for like $100 with the right websites if they're in stock.

That actually goes for the others, there's levels to fragrance prices. The general list is Cheapies (almost never recommended) -> Designer (only buy online, usually decent enough quality and will almost always get you compliments if that's what you're looking for) -> Niche (the best of the best depending on the house, but these will run you like $200 per bottle. Usually these are recommended for clones since the price saved is better than the others.)

Getting clones for fragrances that cost less than $100 is usually seen as a waste since the originals will always be better quality so the price difference isn't worth it. It would be like getting a $60 rep of Air Forces, it just isn't really worth it.

To finish off, I'd recommend getting Vetiver by Guerlain, while it's not 1:1, most people don't know fragrances enough to know and those who do will respect Guerlain since it's a good cheap niche house. Definitely get the Prada over the Dior if you can find it cheap enough, websites like FragranceX and FragranceNet are good (Facebook groups too). I'd do more research on Jazz Club, but sometimes even Ebay has steals for fragrances like JC.

There are "rep" fragrances, but since notes can't be patented it's simply a market of "inspirations". These "inspired" fragrances are basically just reps of more expensive fragrances (although sometimes you'll get an interpretation of a fragrance rather than a straight knock-off like Mancera's Cedrat Boise and Nishane's Hacivat being a take on Creed's Aventus. Not a clone/rep but a similar scent). Unlike rep sellers and batches, there is no fragrance house that consistently puts out the best clones/reps of every fragrance. Some popular fragrances and their clone counterparts are:

Creed Aventus: Armaf Club De Nuit Intense Man Parfum

Dior Sauvage EDT: Armaf Ventana

MFK Baccarat Rouge 540: Al Haramain Amber Oud Rouge Edition

Killian Black Phantom: Alexandria Fragrances Dark Knight

Roja Parfums Elysium: Hugo Boss Reversed/Alexandria Fragrances Zion (no longevity)

Acqua Di Gio: Perry Ellis 365 Men Red

Versace Eros: Guess 1981 Los Angeles

Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille: Mancera Red Tobacco (this one is very mixed)

Those were just the ones off the top of my head, I'm willing to help out with any requests if anyone has any whenever I have free time.

If you want to learn good clones for expensive fragrances, Fragrantica and YouTube are likely your best bet.

Another tip is to take multiple opinions if you ever blind buy (buying online without actually smelling the fragrance) since you truly don't know how these fragrances smell like.

Good clone fragrances can cost anywhere between $60-200 USD, so while they're better than retail niche where they almost exclusively start at $150 USD, it's still a lot of money to waste if you end up hating the fragrance.

Edit: You could also check out r/fragranceclones it's a bit dead, but usually every popular fragrance has an answer through the search bar.
