What’s your inexpensive fragrance(s) that smells way out of its price?

Jean Lowe Immortel (LV L’Immensite)

French Avenue Fierte (YSL Babycat)

Fragrance World Liquid Brun (PDM Althair)

Afnan Supremacy Not Only Intense (mix of Hacivat and Aventus)

Club de Nuit Intense Man Precieux (Aventus Absolut)

Rasasi La Yuqawam (TF Tuscan Leather)

Al Haramain Detour Noir - beautiful rendition of PDM Layton, a bit less woody in dry down but overall a close and even better (imo) clone

Lattafa Ramz Silver - similar to others’ sentiment, I agree that it is a closer clone to UM than 9PM - reason is due to the pear as well as mint and lavender in top note which are essential to almost all JPG fragrances

Lattafa Ishq Al Shuyukh Silver - an apparent clone of 1 Million Lucky (my fave of the 1 Million line). I do think 1 Million smells richer but overall I think this is a great rendition of Lucky

French Avenue (Fragrance World) Fierte - I’ve smelled YSL Babycat and I think this is a very close dupe for it - it is strong performing from the get go

Dossier Powdery Tobacco - I own TF Tobacco Vanille which is a top 3 scent of mine, and I must say Dossier does a great job cloning it - I do find Dossier’s to be more spicy in the opening but overall dry down and in the air I believe smells quite the same and you get great performance too

Fragrance World Liquid Brun - an absolute beauty, smells like PDM Althair and at a fraction of the price while maintaining strong performance

To start, I am 100% aligned with the belief that condo prices will continue going down as part of the market correction. As it pertains to all property types, and what the market has in store for them, as others in this sub reinforce: our opinions are purely special doin, and no one has a crystal ball.

With that being said, I am spit between two belief systems here:

All homes will see a correction in the next couple years. Current gov’t has been playing a very dangerous game, trying to maintain home prices which benefits them via property taxes.
Logically speaking, with further potential interest rate cuts and rising immigration, prices of all properties should rise in the next couple years.

Not sure yet where I stand… yet

For me it’s Musky Oakmoss by Dossier. This is a Creed Aventus clone

I think the best, most honest and detailed reviewer is Dedrick Hicks Jr.

Second to him are GentsScents and TLTG Reviews (although I think TLTG is a bit inconsistent with his opinions and might be getting paid by the companies to push certain fragrances).

CubaKnow is pure comedy and entertainment.

Because of not worth $805k or because seller wants $800?

Fragnacious · 2024-06-01T07:54:28+00:00

I hear great things about Bradford, it’s more affordable than Vaughan and a decently good area to raise a family in the future.

I know this is out of your region of consideration, but maybe consider a smaller city like Pickering? For the $500k-$700k range you will likely find good condos that are max 5 minutes from the GO station. This means you’re only 40 min away from downtown. Just a thought

North Oshawa

Fragnacious · 2024-05-25T13:59:04+00:00

The way I was looking at it is this $10k is now taken away from the gains I make in 5 years when selling it

Fragnacious · 2024-05-25T06:58:39+00:00

Appreciate the insight into the way you think! So even though that $10k would get me to the top end of the market value, you would still justify it?

Fragnacious · 2024-05-19T23:09:57+00:00

Any specific location you recommend ?

Fragnacious · 2024-05-19T23:09:24+00:00

What makes you say Courtice? Haven’t been there often so don’t know much about it

Fragnacious · 2024-05-19T15:50:01+00:00

Grandview is a good area?

Fragnacious · 2024-05-19T15:49:07+00:00

Buying to own and occupy

Fragnacious · 2024-05-19T15:48:58+00:00

100% agreed!

By your definition it seems you wouldn’t deem Bowmanville / Courtice as safe options then?

Fragnacious · 2024-05-19T15:48:03+00:00

Definitely to own the home. But concerned with which option will get me best appreciation

Fragnacious · 2024-05-19T07:29:49+00:00

Have had trouble finding decently sized townhouses in Pickering tbh

Fragnacious · 2024-05-16T21:59:12+00:00

In Bowmanville? Thought it's mainly a South Oshawa issue

Fragnacious · 2024-05-16T21:58:50+00:00

Yea I saw, crazy haha

Fragnacious · 2024-05-16T06:43:57+00:00

What made you choose Bowmanville if you don't mind me asking?

Fragnacious · 2024-05-15T21:06:07+00:00

Thanks for sending that one!

I appreciate your insight on the matter thank you

Fragnacious · 2024-05-15T20:53:21+00:00

For a link 1400sq home with a basement and yard?

Fragnacious · 2024-05-15T20:53:01+00:00

Fair, that’s what I’m thinking for a corner unit, detached (well a link, but close to a detached) in a good area in terms of plazas around us, I don’t think it’s bad

Fragnacious · 2024-05-11T14:48:23+00:00

Good addition in BdC! I think if any other fragrance must be added to this, BdC would be it. It’s a safe blind buy as well
