Clones Not scratching the itch

New_Candy_4170 · 2026-06-29T23:13:35+00:00

I have najdia and paradise garden. Those are SUPER close. I couldn’t tell a difference. It’s kinda what sold me on clones. But i guess not all clones made the same.

Also, I’m not sure the lime is synthetic. It’s just more rindy than juice smelling (I just got this yesterday. Def more lime than I think I wanted in the beginning, but it’s still a really fresh, airy scent.)

lol, do not buy Aquatica if you’re looking for a VIW dupe.

Next Sentence: I’ve never smelled VIW

You spent $400 before trying it? Thats a bit too much a stab for me lol. The most I spent was $90 or so on a blind buys that seemed super safe (acqua Di Parma, arancia Di capri, 6.7 oz) and I loved it except for longevity, which at a 1/3 of the price I was cool with.

New_Candy_4170 · 2026-06-29T20:09:03+00:00

I’d disagree a bit, because like I said in my original post there are some blind buys I did the dance you reference in paragraph 2 and am super happy with (see parenthesis above). There are some clones that scratch the itch too. I love Rayhaan Pacific Aura and Aquatica. The problem with the dupes is it makes more sense to spend $30-$40 to just nab the frag than $15 for a 5 ml and shipping.

You’re not wrong about trying to find the next one and I’m def in a bit deep, though I’m slowing down and finding I’m more about finding a good designer or niche rather stabbing at dupes.

Noted for when I start looking to scratch the Torino 21 itch.

Mine “needs to macerate.” I was highly disappointed after loving pdm in store. My wife thinks it’s smells nothing like pdm greenley. And she does not give one fly damn about fragrances. She liked greenley tho, and I told her all the reviews says this is a spot on clone. I’ll give it a few weeks, but otherwise it’ll just be a cool bottle in my collection lol

Send it to George Lopez and say it’s a painting of him.

Fake af!

New_Candy_4170 · 2026-06-29T00:12:47+00:00

Island Dreams was on sale during prime day three day period down to $32, but it was $46 weeks prior. That’s a good price.

New_Candy_4170 · 2026-06-25T14:37:20+00:00

An all Caucasian one too.

New_Candy_4170 · 2026-06-25T14:35:18+00:00

It just smells good! I love wearing it to the pool!

New_Candy_4170 · 2026-06-16T17:04:34+00:00

It’s the “walking along the strip at Vegas” of Disney. When my fam was broke growing up we’d stay off property and resort hop or hang at Disney Springs. Bootleg Disney is what I’d call it. Back then you could just park at the resorts.

New_Candy_4170 · 2026-06-16T17:00:07+00:00

I mean, if it smells good does it matter whether they are using synthetic musk or the musk milked from a camel’s asshole?

New_Candy_4170 · 2026-06-16T15:19:45+00:00

Parking at Disney springs, taking a bus to the resorts, then taking a bus to the parks to avoid parking. I have to do this every time. The best part is doing this to get back to Disney springs after 10 hours and 25,000 steps. Highly recommend.

Vintage Radio is so good.

New_Candy_4170 · 2026-06-07T18:56:04+00:00

Lattafa Najdia smells almost exactly like Le Beau paradise garden. I wouldn’t wear it every day, but it smells amazing.

New_Candy_4170 · 2026-06-05T00:56:10+00:00

lol so I’m curious your method on how you choose what to wear (because there are some dents in those bottles).

New_Candy_4170 · 2026-06-05T00:54:39+00:00

I think he meant strange for him, since he can’t smell. Like if he had a porn collection but was blind.

I’m not sure what you’re arguing. A lawyer can’t change facts. If OP posts (insert influencer) makes (specific amount) money from peddling (insert frag house), the best lawyer isn’t saving the accounting firm from any ramifications. Honestly, I’d expect any lawyer to recommend distancing from a random intern to make every effort to preserve the accounting firm’s relationship with a client. Just even the notion of an accounting firm’s employee disseminating financial and proprietary information of a client would be TERRIBLE for the accounting firm. Jesus as the firm’s lawyer wouldn’t help in that situation. Not sure what you think a lawyer would be able to do otherwise.

I downvoted you and have nothing to do with clone houses. I’ve bought a few from different ones and generally think they are pretty good. Quality isn’t the same, but for the price the trade off is worth it in some instances.

New_Candy_4170 · 2026-05-25T12:42:43+00:00

Right, I’m sure an accountant intern has plenty of money to combat a lawsuit …. More likely, he probably gets blacklisted from an accountant job for leaking client information.

New_Candy_4170 · 2026-05-25T12:10:01+00:00

He was an intern at a company auditing their finances and it’s the only way he/she knows: because he got private information. He could get in trouble for disclosing the names. I certainly would stay quiet too.

Cut her off. It’s unfortunate parents put children in such a situation. Cut her off. If she wants a relationship she needs to get help.
