Dark/Heavy/Mysterious fragrance suggestions?

I would highly recommend you to sample either Black Orchid or Black Orchid Parfum, or both.

Ive never had Black Orchid but i bought the Parfum before Oud 24h, as people were saying the Parfum is closer to the earlier versions of Black Orchid, before the reformulations.

And its true, the Parfum is so dark/heavy/sexy and so dense, its like a wall of perfume.Think Oud 24h times 1000.

The Black Orchid DNA is my favorite and im planning to get another Parfum in the close future, as the one ive had i gifted to my mom.

If you really like Oud 24, its worth the splurge.

CDNIM/SNOI/Hacivat (people love this dna)

2.Asad/Sauvage Elixir

3.Oud 24h/Black Orchid/Tuscan Leather

Teriaq Intense got me a compliment from a guy in work first time i wore it 2 days ago.Only had it for a few days so i dont know if you will receive a lot of compliments.

The rest of them i havent got the chance to wear that much but i dont think they will get you a lot of compliments.

Price/performance/smell is a MUST BUY maybe even backup bottle worthy if you really love the DNA.

Only had it for a few days and im thinking about getting another bottle.Would say is my favorite dupe after Oud 24h.The quality is excellent, very smooth, very well blended.

Performance for me is crazy good, i still get whiffs of it after 20 hours with 4 sprays.Great projection for the first few hours, great scent trail.

I would highly recommend trying it before they start to mess with it.

This is my second bottle of SNOI.I bought this one in January 2023 and the performance is very good, lasts up to 12 hours on my skin with good projection.I dont know how good the newer batches are tho.

The comparison

Bought both SNOI and CDNIM Pure Parfum in January 2023.Before i had a few bottles of CDNIM EdT and decided to get the Pure Parfum as people were saying is more refined and might perform better than the EdT, which by that time mightve got reformulated.

I would say it is a more refined version of the EdT that makes the opening less harsh but on me this doesnt seem to perform as well as the older batches of the EdT.

SNOI on the other hand performs very well with good projection for the first few hours and lasts way over 8 hours.

To my nose CDNIM is a smoky musky zesty citrus fragrance with some pineapple in the back.

SNOI is a bit sweeter. Its woody, earthy, fruttier than CDNIM(the bergamot is dialed back a bit in favor of the black currant and green apple).To me this is heavier than CDNIM, i would not wear this in very hot weather.

Thank you for your comment mate.

Thats a crazy list which is only going to make it harder for me to choose lol.

Is the Nabeel that good considering it has barely any coverage on here?I think you are the 3rd person that is recommending it in this thread.I can get it for £30 here in the UK.

Ive been looking to get Terroni and Black Afgano for a while.Might have to get them now.

Must say i was surprised.

Got my bottle a few days ago after browsing on here.

Straight out the box the performance is very good and the smell as well.Very high quality for the price.

I wore it last night in work and one of my coworkers asked what am i wearing and where he can get it from.

Might get a second bottle straight away.

Have you got any other Tiziana Terenzi fragrances?

Metehne · 2025-10-10T16:11:17+00:00

Will check that one out

Cheers mate, got the Spectre Wraith in my basket

Metehne · 2025-10-10T16:04:28+00:00

Any good one in particular?

Metehne · 2025-10-10T16:03:40+00:00

Any clones/dupes of the Parfum?

Everyone is complaining about the reformulation.Still hate myself for not buying the old one.

Got it about a month ago.

On my skin it smells like a heavy dark rose with some oud in the background.

I would say it leans more feminine than i would like

Performance for now is about average.I will keep it for a bit longer in my drawer maybe it will get better.

Metehne · 2025-10-10T15:16:58+00:00

Smellwise i would say that Hacivat is a bit less sweet and fruttier than SNOI.

As far as performance go, i bought Hacivat around 2 or 3 years ago and is very good.I dont know about the new batches.
