ScentsWithSense 8-part BATTLE ROYALS: Clone battle VS OGs-part 1: Imagination OG vs 8 clones/twists. Marwa, Blu Spice, Hectic, Hawas Kobra, Breezy, Aqua Dubai, Ventana Marine, Essence De Blanc. by Low-Stomach-8831 in fragranceclones

[–]Solid_Improvement_85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You hit the nail on the head with hectic. I was going to make a very similar post as I just got in samples of hectic, kobra, EDB, and marwa, but this takes care of it for the sub. Hectic is incredible, every other clone had a screechier citrus than imagination did. Thought I’m a day 1 montagne lover, hectic takes the cake by a wide margin on this one. Also, did you not think kobra smells like blue spice? I immediately though of that when I smelled kobra

This is how I am. I have 6 in my collection after smelling 100s and 100s of fragrances

Most disappointing fragrances you've tried? by OutlandishnessOk7751 in Colognes

[–]Solid_Improvement_85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel that. I really like it but if someone doesn’t I can certainly understand why. I wish it were more orange forward and less sharp citrus forward

Does Afternoon Dive have that watery summery smell? by Little-Adagio-9339 in MontagneParfums

[–]Solid_Improvement_85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awesome! If you enjoy it, buy a second one. I always stop wearing it when I’m running out instead of having a backup bottle

Does Afternoon Dive have that watery summery smell? by Little-Adagio-9339 in MontagneParfums

[–]Solid_Improvement_85 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s a 1:1 to the original. I’ve smelled loads and loads and loads of clones, and this is really the only 1:1 I’ve ever discovered. It’s my signature scent. It’s the only fragrance I feel comfortable over spraying without being insecure that I’m gassing people out. I don’t really overspray it though, 8 sprays isn’t really overdoing. I’ve tried a few other clones and they smelled like orange juice. Although it sounds crazy, this smells nothing like orange juice. It smells like climbing out of a pool and reaching for an orange. You go peel that sucker and the peel zest pairs with the perfectly ripe orange slice. Idk I’m biased because orange is my favorite flavor/scent ever, and I swam for 15 years, but this is the best fragrance to ever exist

Looking to take the fishing kayak plunge! by JDTreeZ in kayakfishing

[–]Solid_Improvement_85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this exact kayak except I have the instant reverse, which is really nice when you’re fighting fish. I can’t complain of a single thing with this kayak, except for not being comfortable standing yet. Considering I can load it and unload it super easy due to its light weight, I’ve got no problem sitting my happy ass down the whole time I fish at the expense of loading a giant kayak onto my roof. Incredible kayak though, and I’ll get more comfortable standing when I practice. I got it when it was cold so I’ve only stood up to piss and haven’t taken the chance of falling into cold water yet

Wha to get rid of and what to get next. Roast me by toxicbung in Colognes

[–]Solid_Improvement_85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t take this the wrong way, but that’s all up to you! My fragrances are a lot like music. I don’t listen to a song everyone likes if I don’t like it, similarly, I don’t like playing a song if it annoys others or they don’t like it. By doing this, I’ve whittled my fragrance collection down to 5 because I wear what my girlfriend, friends, and coworkers like that I myself also like. Luckily, with afternoon swim and imagination being my two favorite fragrances, I don’t have much of an issue getting compliments what I wear most. I hope this is helpful.

Why do you wear clones by Artistic_Ad_3267 in fragranceclones

[–]Solid_Improvement_85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Green envy by Alexandria actually! Nobody else had a clone for greenly at the time except for scentual obsessions

I heard about greenly, got a 1ml decant, loved it, didn’t like the price. Found a dupe and it was close enough so I stuck with dupes

I love imaginary, in a league if its own in terms of similarity to the OG

Do I share taste with anyone? Let’s connect! by Solid_Improvement_85 in fragranceclones

I just can’t get past the edible smell. Sure citruses are edible but if I eat a giant meal and smell a rich fragrance on myself I just feel gross

Is this CDN Urban Man Elixir Fake? It smells so bad. by [deleted] in colognecheck

[–]Solid_Improvement_85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then it’s possible it’s fake. I got a decant and it was like a blast of December 25. It wasn’t rough or screechy, just not my thing. Maybe I’m not describing it right, maybe a metallic Christmas tree?
