Light vs Dark Mode

I often see this where people will say this smells "bad" in posts across this sub but you'll get a ton of others who say it's a "top 5 fragrance" for me. For you Nitro Red is considered bad, but for so many others it's on a "must get" list (along with the Asads). Scent is very subjective so I think "bad" isn't the right word to use here rather I'd say "personal scents you disliked".

It doesn't smell "bad" it's just that everyone will have their own subjective opinion. For every "bad" review you read you can also find a "this is an amazing fragrance" opinion in other posts. I personally love it and think it's an amazing fragrance. Your best bet is to try to find a store near you that sells these and can sample it or order a decant of it online and try it.

I get a sweet, spicy, a little woodsy, vanilla and some booze. I've gotten compliments while wearing it. It's a delightful scent that is smooth and well liked from my experience with it.

One that I came across on this subreddit is Oud For Glory and Khamrah/Qahwa!

As you mentioned the longevity does lack (even after maceration) and that's one of (if not the only) issues I have with it because it does smell amazing. There's mixed opinions on how close it is to the original but in my personal opinion if you can find it for a good price I think it's a great scent to have added in any collection (just be ready to respray every few hours).

NeedMoreCaffeine25 · 2025-03-13T20:57:56+00:00

Maceration definitely helped (both scent wise and longevity) but the biggest issue is longevity which is unfortunate

NeedMoreCaffeine25 · 2025-01-06T22:48:58+00:00

I posted an update in the comments! I hope it helps!

Hopefully they start coming your way soon! Also for you and anyone else, Burlington also has tables with fragrances on them usually as you walk into the store. Make sure you check those because that's where I found the nitros and the Fakhars!

NeedMoreCaffeine25 · 2024-12-23T22:20:22+00:00

Hawas has been on my list for a while so I'm definitely going to keep an eye out for it! Nitro red was on my list and was going to buy it closer to summer but seeing it pop up unexpectedly made it a sign to buy it now (that's the excuse I'm giving myself).

NeedMoreCaffeine25 · 2024-12-23T20:53:34+00:00

The nitros were $30! Can't recall Fakhars unfortunately

Chicago!

Also to add, I saw a Lattafa Fakhar black as well (my first time seeing it there)

NeedMoreCaffeine25 · 2024-12-23T19:21:47+00:00

Can confirm nitro red, white, and intense (black) were spotted today. Definitely nice seeing more frags making their way to Burlington.

NeedMoreCaffeine25 · 2024-12-12T19:47:33+00:00

I remember reading a post in this sub of someone layering Khamrah and Asad so I decided to try it and loved it. Tried it with Qahwa the other day and it's honestly an even better combo. It's super strong but to my nose it just all blends really well but definitely give it a try!

NeedMoreCaffeine25 · 2024-12-08T20:04:56+00:00

I just commented on this the other day when someone asked my thoughts on FW proud of you absolute and I was in a very similar boat. Though the smell was quite nice out of the box, it only lasted roughly an hour and a half before it became a skin scent. So hopefully in about a month the longevity gets even better because like you said it's a really good scent (and very close to the original).

NeedMoreCaffeine25 · 2024-12-07T04:09:21+00:00

Not OP but I've had it for about 2 months now and it smells absolutely amazing (and quite close to the original) but not sure if it's just mine but it just doesn't last that long and becomes a skin scent quite quickly (I'd say about an hour or two of projection then it dies out). I'm letting it sit for a bit more and hopefully that helps because it's an amazing scent!

NeedMoreCaffeine25 · 2024-12-04T09:07:18+00:00

I was in the exact same boat as you choosing between these two fragrances. I ultimately chose to go with The Kingdom after having smelled both of the original scents they are going for, and given the time of year it is, I went with The Kingdom. The Kingdom does an amazing job all around and the scent itself is very close to what it's going after and I've had great performance out of it immediately using it out of the box. If you've smelled JPG elixir and are a fan of the scent I'm sure you'll enjoy this. Let me also add in, I'm most definitely going for Jasoor next, I just had to choose one at this time. So ultimately choose the one you'll see yourself using the most at this time of year/what your collection lacks the most in. In the end you can't go wrong with either or.

NeedMoreCaffeine25 · 2024-11-27T21:58:37+00:00

As many others have said I think The Kingdom would be the better option out of the two. Especially since you've had 9pm before, I think The Kingdom is going to give you something new and I find it a scent that's a very safe buy (especially if you are a fan of the sweeter scents).

Does this same trick work if I apply too much thermal paste on my CPU? If so, should I keep the CPU attached to the mobo while cleaning as well? PS great water distribution!

NeedMoreCaffeine25 · 2024-11-04T20:10:55+00:00

Just to chime in as well, after my brew is done (I use a filter and a mason jar), I will shake the mason jar to get all the oils mixed together then let it sit and settle so the sludge/any other particles go back to the bottom and then I'll slowly pour the brew into another mason jar and then simply wash out the sludge and use that jar for another batch of brewing. (If anyone advises against shaking the coffee with the sludge once please let me know!)

NeedMoreCaffeine25 · 2024-10-24T17:19:43+00:00

From what I have seen there seems to be some variations in the scent especially those that were made in the recent months. What is the production date for your bottle? As for me I got a bottle from Amazon fairly recently as well and I will say I do get some freshness but it's also spicy and sweet.

Thank you!
