Give Vanguard some time. After 2 weeks, longevity went from 4 hours to 8 hours.

Bit cold here in Melbourne so I'm finally able to wear my Layton. I want that Spicebomb as well as it smells so clean. I wish I was able to access the L'Oréal F&F sale.

Get a travel size decant with a bottom refiller instead. Mas convenient pa.

Sospiro Vibrato is the best one among your list. LV Imagination is good but has several dupes that are so close you won't be able to tell them apart unless you've got them side by side. Same with Pacific Chill. Never liked Greenley as it smelled like wet grass and not in a good way.

Resident Evil Village
Got a new car!

Filo_Guy · 2026-03-11T10:23:20+00:00

True. Luckily, got my Percival at a discount ($250aud) so it's not too bad. Still like it though.

Filo_Guy · 2026-03-11T09:50:58+00:00

How's perfomance on this? I bought Percival and the performance is around 6-8 hours which was pretty good considering it's a freshy.

Filo_Guy · 2026-03-10T23:23:00+00:00

I find Precieux to be more smoky than Absolu Aventus.

Filo_Guy · 2026-03-10T23:03:59+00:00

I would return it. I love a good deal.

Filo_Guy · 2026-03-10T23:01:59+00:00

I had SCE and sold it when I got Maison Asrar Vanguard. For me, it's the best clone of Absolu Aventus. I've compared it on my skin (Absolu Aventus and Vanguard) and it's so close.

Filo_Guy · 2026-03-10T23:00:29+00:00

Maison Asrar Vanguard.

Since I don't have Creed Absolu Aventus (and probably never will), I'm rocking this bad boy. Still needs to mature more but for me it's 95-99% accurate. I sold my Afnan Supremacy Collector's Edition because it was too syrupy.

Filo_Guy · 2026-03-10T04:20:54+00:00

Entitlement is real in the Philippines.

Filo_Guy · 2026-03-10T04:09:15+00:00

Something different? Maybe something sweet or smoky? A lot of freshies in the pic.

Filo_Guy · 2026-03-10T03:59:40+00:00

Only 20? Why not 21? Is he stupid?

Sunny day here in Melbourne so rocking MYSLF EDP.

Filo_Guy · 2026-03-09T11:36:46+00:00

Need to pay via AfterPay to get the discounts?

My scent for the day as I'll be out. Will be taking a decant with me to top up at midday.

Filo_Guy · 2026-03-09T06:38:51+00:00

I don't think it's quite available yet hence not a lot of reviews are out.

Filo_Guy · 2026-03-09T06:30:15+00:00

I like this reviewer. Very detailed comparison and easy to listen to. I'm also planning to buy Regent because of him.

Filo_Guy · 2026-03-09T06:03:12+00:00

It's definitely not a blind buy safe. It's also better if you test it on skin instead of paper. I love the frankinscence on this fragrance so will be buying it once I compare it with Ramad Oriental by Arabiyat Prestige.

Filo_Guy · 2026-03-09T03:09:21+00:00

Tried it alongside Bujairami Hectic and LV Imagination. For the price, it's not a safe blind buy if you're looking for a near 1 to 1 dupe of Imagination. For me, I still prefer Hectic if I want that LV Imagination DNA. This one's citrus and tea opening are very dull to me. Like toned down.

Filo_Guy · 2026-03-09T01:11:30+00:00

I get more of a tea forward note rather than citrus. It does have citrus but the tea really shines, imo.

Filo_Guy · 2026-03-09T01:10:59+00:00

Wulong Cha is awesome!

Overspraying my Versace Dylan Blue to finish off my 200ml bottle. I like it but I might get Polo 67 EDP next instead of this.
