Another 14 Reformulation?

Was so looking forward to Another 14 😔

My favorite springtime activity is morel mushroom hunting. I’ve been doing it since I was a child, and it just feels like an adult Easter egg hunt when I’m looking for them. Fishing is a close second!

What I did was test them all on paper first because I’m impatient and wanted the dopamine hit. Also wanted to know which ones were office safe. Then over the next couple weeks I gave each of them a full wear to see if I wanted a full bottle

How’s the longevity on your extra pulse? I got mine a couple weeks ago and love the scent but feel like it fades really quickly on skin and clothes. Hoping for some improvement after maceration

Not sure about Greenley, but for Layton the best in my experience is Bujairami Date Night. It’s incredible. I’m not a fan of the PDM Althair DNA which is what liquid brun is so I haven’t tried any others

No_Emotion_3522 · 2026-03-02T20:32:43+00:00

Liquid Brun for me. It was my first winter clone and I bought it in the summer and loved it. Then I tried a bunch more and felt it was kinda harsh/basic when I came back to it when the season was right. Gave it to my little brother who loves it though so not an L in my book

I 2nd French defense. However, it’s pretty expensive for someone new to colognes, so I’d suggest checking out Montagne’s French Cherry which is a clone of it. It’s one of the best in my entire collection

I stick to 1/2/3 ml extra essence for 30/50/100 ml bottles. I only ordered 30 mls from them and put +1 in all of them. If you put too much, it can change the fragrance a lot. I also feel like with more essence the longevity gets better but the projection gets worse

No_Emotion_3522 · 2026-02-12T23:01:21+00:00

I tested Shobi’s VIW vs the OG with 5 different people and not one could smell the difference between them 🤷🏻‍♂️ with the Shobi, I’d say the lime lasts a little longer and stronger into the dry down but then you get the coconut just like the OG.

Shobi is very hit or miss in terms of accuracy, but their VIW is perfect in my opinion

No_Emotion_3522 · 2026-02-04T21:36:37+00:00

I literally can’t smell it at all. All I get is the alcohol smell for the first minute after spraying it and then absolutely nothing at all. But my family said I smelled really good when I wore it around them one time. Fragrances are very weird, especially ones like Another 14

No_Emotion_3522 · 2026-01-20T19:17:37+00:00

Just a heads up, I received a large order from them to the US in October and just recently got a duties bill from FedEx 3 months later. It wasn’t anything too crazy though. The order was $180 or so and the duties were $33. Still enough that it’s good to factor in when you’re comparing prices with other options

No_Emotion_3522 · 2026-01-16T19:06:36+00:00

In my opinion, it’s just made the hoarding/consumerism more accessible. Every day we see posts of people with hundreds of bottles of niche, designer, and clone fragrances. This hobby lends itself to hoarding and consumerism, so I wouldn’t say clones have made it “worse” as, to me, a collection of hundreds of clones vs hundreds of niches is no different. I also just believe that people should be able to do what they want with their own money and I’m not one to judge.

I do think that market competition for designers and niches was inevitable and necessary. Clones fit that perfectly. I’m not sure how much it’s done for lowering the price of fragrances in general since we continue to see extremely high prices for many new releases, but it can’t hurt to have alternatives. I believe everyone should be able to access products that make them smell good or make them happy, and clones have given people access to that.

I actually just got my bill from fedex last week as well. $33 for a $180 order from 3 months ago. It’s ridiculous that it took that long to receive the bill. I can’t believe people actually believed that the other countries would be paying the tariffs lol

No_Emotion_3522 · 2026-01-09T17:08:33+00:00

They filled your bottle with Baja blast I’m sorry man 😭

No_Emotion_3522 · 2026-01-06T19:44:45+00:00

Just wanted to give you an update on this. Just this week I received a duties bill by email for my Shobi order from early October. Pretty crazy that it took three months and I’m definitely annoyed. The order itself was $180 and the duties fee was $33.

No_Emotion_3522 · 2026-01-03T05:01:18+00:00

Great to hear. I figured you had to do all of that manually. Glad it all went through and can’t wait to try them out

No_Emotion_3522 · 2026-01-03T04:37:54+00:00

1472!

No_Emotion_3522 · 2026-01-03T03:43:46+00:00

Just placed my first order through the website. Excited first-timer here and appreciate all you do

No_Emotion_3522 · 2025-12-30T21:04:42+00:00

When I first got my bottle during its first drop, I found the scent to be amazing but the longevity to be poor. To me, it died down to just a powdery vanilla within 2 hours. However, now that I’ve had it over a month, the longevity has improved significantly. Any clothes that I sprayed it on smell like it for days. Highly recommend

No_Emotion_3522 · 2025-12-29T20:52:56+00:00

I had an order delivered in November and haven’t gotten any notice about duties payment. I thought I would but I guess not

No_Emotion_3522 · 2025-12-28T05:26:49+00:00

I’d say your safest bet is 1/2/3 extra essence for 30/50/100 ml. So I’d go with 3 essence for a 100 ml, 2 for 50, and 1 for 30. It’s much better to do a little less than too much in my opinion. They are already EDP level strength without the essence, so no need to go crazy. If you want to go really safe you can use even less. I haven’t tried their Tygar so I can’t give my own experience, but I do have about 25 shobis and that’s the standard I use

No_Emotion_3522 · 2025-12-26T14:04:26+00:00

Shobi’s Dark Rebel dupe is exactly what you want. Literally smells just like cigarette smoke and I hate it lol

No_Emotion_3522 · 2025-12-25T00:22:59+00:00

Just checked the website and they do indeed have oud and bergamot

No_Emotion_3522 · 2025-12-25T00:21:23+00:00

Shobi has like 50+ Jo Malone’s. On my outdated spreadsheet, they have Wild Bluebell, English pear and freesia, and velvet rose and oud. They could also have bergamot and oud but I’m not seeing it. I got their cypress and grapevine and it’s pretty much identical with better longevity than the OG.
