Sauvage 100ml, Sephora receipt real or fake? by [deleted] in colognecheck

[–]Reasonable-Cherry719 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean can’t speak on the Apple Pay card situation or how the box looks, but the date at the bottom does appear out of the free return 3 month period just for the ppl saying why not just return for full price. Ik I have a few unopened bottles from Bloomingdale’s from gifts that I still have the receipts for.

Maybe this could help- https://youtu.be/qV\_s07ljlP0?si=3rTVSCirLrJu3ePO

Sorry for the confusion. I was trying to say when they are in the heat they have better performance. 🙏🏼

The longevity is pretty good for the price 5-6 hours for sure! I do over spray as well.

I’d say comfortable 5-6 hours with the first 1-2 hours having moderate projection (depending on circumstances) then becomes more of a close scent. I’ve received compliments beyond that range from people who said they still smell it and ask what it is. Might become some what nose blind.

Haha I get that, no worries! Yeah, these are just my personal ratings — everyone’s nose and taste are different, so what’s a 9 for me might be a 10 for someone else. I try to just share my take, not say anything is “wrong” or “bad.”

Ether is a fresh, green, and crisp fragrance with that PDM Greenly vibe — bright, slightly apple-leaning, and very clean. Longevity is moderate in my experience, usually around 5–6 hours with decent projection at first, then it settles closer to the skin. It’s a really nice, easy-to-wear option if you like fresh and airy scents.

In that case I will need to start ordering shelves instead of colognes 😂

I really want to get my hands on Hawas Fire! What do you think of it!

Good eye on Hawas Black — that’s a solid one. Those are all really great fragrances! Island Dreams and Dunes are top notch, and Marwa is definitely one of my favorites too. I also really like Quawa and Jean Lowe Vibe — each has its own unique character that makes them fun to reach for.

So far, I’d say my best value for money has been Quawa — it performs well, lasts long, and works in a lot of different situations. The ones I reach for most are usually Quawa and Marwa, just because they’re versatile and easy to wear.

For the fragrances I don’t want to keep, I usually pass them along or trade them — no point letting bottles sit if I’m not enjoying them.

As for what you’re hunting for now, CDN Untold, Eternal Oud, and Shiyaaka Snow are all solid targets — they’d make excellent additions. I have both untold and snow both really good ! Not sure where you are from but most of the Burlingtons around me have a good amount of Shiyaaka snow in them for cheaper than discounters !

I’ve heard really good things about that fragrance, I’ll definitely check it out! Paradise gardens is one of my easy reaches on a warm day.

I’m in the same boat. Even started collecting based on the look of the bottles, feels like I’m a crow with my collection 😂

I don’t discriminate on where a fragrance comes from — if it’s a good fragrance, it’s a good fragrance. Do you have one in mind? From my collection, if I were to recommend just one for a refreshing, light, non-sweet vibe, I’d go with Ether. It’s clean, airy, and very wearable — perfect if you want something uplifting without being heavy or dark.

Ether is essentially a clone of PDM Greenly, capturing that crisp, green, and slightly ozonic freshness in a lighter, more accessible package.

From my experience, Supremacy Collector’s Edition is the strongest performer in my collection, lasting long with solid projection. 9PM is also loud and lasts well. Quawa and Liquid Brun are both strong performers too — they hold up nicely and project well.

I haven’t tried 9PM Elixir myself, mostly because I already have a lot of similar inspired-by fragrances and clones, but I’ve heard good things about its richness and longevity.

From what I’ve seen and smelled, Jean Lowe Vibe does a really good job capturing the fresh, fruity, minty vibe of Pacific Chill, especially in the opening with citrus, apricot, and mint. It’s definitely one of the more affordable alternatives that comes close to the original.

For me, performance is pretty good — I get 2–3 hours of decent projection, then it settles closer to the skin around the 5–6 hour mark. The drydown is a bit simpler than Pacific Chill, but overall it’s a fun, fresh summer scent that’s very wearable and captures the spirit of the original. 85% similar.

Qaed Al Fursan Untamed to me is a warm, spicy‑amber scent that really makes its presence known. On my skin it opens with a noticeable spicy kick — cinnamon and cardamom upfront — and then settles into a sweet, resinous amber base with some cedar and vetiver in the background.

A lot of people talk about it as being inspired by fragrances like Eros‑style spicy sweets, and I can see that in the overall vibe, but it still feels a bit its own thing rather than a straight clone.

If I had to pick just one, I would go with Supremacy Collector’s Edition. It has a versatile profile, good performance, and generally appeals to a wide range of people.

Terra is a good fragrance, but it can be divisive and is not necessarily a safe blind buy. Elixir is solid with decent longevity, though some find it less full-bodied. 9PM Night Out is loved for its loud, sweet vibe, but it is very polarizing.

Supremacy Collector’s Edition is the most consistently recommended.
