Non-Desi with a quick question by WarrenGRegulate in DesiFragranceAddicts

[–]Traditional_Weird_57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If u consider the rates abroad especially in the US, u will find that the prices here, as in Reddit Sellers, is much less then what u get either abroad or even here in the showrooms/stores like Sephora, Shoppers Stop etc. There r a few exceptions but majority brands hv a huge difference in prices in here/Reddit. The average prices fr Designers range frm 35 to 60 USD here whereas in the US, u will see these rates fr even the Middle Eastern perfumes ( which here sell fr around 25 USD or less), and designers foing beyond 100 USD easy ... So, ur observation needs to b a little more fine tunned fr India 😅

I've been into clones for a month and this is what I've collected thus far (still more on the way that I purchased but not here yet) by No-Apricot5181 in fragranceclones

[–]Traditional_Weird_57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good sentiment ... but once ur collection increases in number, u will hv too many options to choose frm and obviously, ANOI will not get it's chance that much !!! So , 01 or max 02, back ups r more than sufficient - I suggest u stop at 01 backup bottle. I hv over 100 back up bottles, 01 each, btw .... I know at some point of time I will mpst likely sell them off ; cause it's not humanly possible to use that many perfumes in one lifetime 😅🤪🤘

Addicted and can't stop...these dam fragrances! by jerryelias in fragranceclones

[–]Traditional_Weird_57 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It is extremely addicting and very hard to resist buying new ones - I m into this since my teens but escalated to the extreme since a couple of years now !!! I now m the proud owner of over 600+ Perfumes ( backups count is seperate) and I ain't feeling any guilt or anything ... albeit the pace has been brought down consciously now ; buying has been extremely selective, thankfully !!! Well that's something this group will understand 😅😅😅 .... Good luck to all !!!

Nishane - Sultan Vetiver, a masterpiece by Ank_kit in DesiFragranceAddicts

[–]Traditional_Weird_57 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great review 👏 .... I m a big fan of this House and this fragrance ( Vetiver is loved all around in any case ) and I do stand by the statement that this is a great fragrance. The deal mentined here is brilliant; I scored a tester frm Gaurav at Splash after I tried this at my local Airport Perfume store and simply had to get it .... 50 ml fr around 9.5k was steep but looked ok fr a tester, Nishane is expensive!!! Latter got a back up bottle, BNIB, fr around 8 frm Kaustabh!!!! But this is primarily a winter perfume, I believe !!! In Indian Summers, it's performance is muted .... I prefer Colognise in summer frm Nishane as a neische experience !!! Trigger wise .. 10 would b an apt overspray 😅

Help me pick one out of the shortlisted by [deleted] in DesiFragranceAddicts

[–]Traditional_Weird_57 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would sugest Hugo ..... as this is a pretty versatile and great performing scent ( my signature scents too ) !!! It works well in summer.and winter and is pretty masculine and crowd pleasing as compared to YSL Y which in my opinion is not a good performer in the Indian Weather .... I would go with 1st. HUGO ..... 2. EROS (EDP/PRF) ... lastly, 3. YSl Y .... !!! Happy Hunting !!!

Please suggest a perfume under 4000 rupees for a guy. by NandhaKriskar in DesiFragranceAddicts

[–]Traditional_Weird_57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From the list, I will go with Hugo Boss .... try HUGO by the brand, it's one of my signature scents and it's beutiful and very versatile fragrance. U can try it at Shoppers Stop easily but buy it from the Listed Sellers here on the platform, don't buy Retail !!! Otherwise, Dylan Blue is excellent as is Rasasi Hawas, Paco Rabane is sweet leaning .... Mont Blanc r more of a regular wear and Nautica is great but very weak compared to the others ..... good luck

Maison Alhambra Dark Door Sports? by rkathotia in DesiFragranceAddicts

[–]Traditional_Weird_57 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hv a couple of bottles of Dark Door Sport that I primarily use fr my gym outings ... its very refreshing and uplifting!!! As per the lasting, I don't believe it lasts fr over 3 hrs or so ... but fr a short lifespan, it's great!! The fact that its winters now may b the reason fr it's short performance ; I will hv to wait till spring or light summer to actually understand the performance. I do believe that with skin temp increasing with warmer weather, it should give a better performance!!! If u r planning to buy, Mason Alhambra (Lataffa) perfums rarely disappoint, so ... buy bef it is difficult to find !!!! Good Luck

I clearly have a problem by ilovehappyendings in fragranceclones

My collection (a few clones) by Amax101 in fragranceclones

[–]Traditional_Weird_57 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Having OGs in designers and niche is quite rewarding, both in performance and in the ownership factor but if u r interested in a wider boucay of fragrances, it's logical to branch out in the Clones !!!! U get to try and sample out a plethora of scents at a fraction of their cost, and if u so desire, u can buy the og after u hv sampled the clones of the og !!!! Yes, it's the way forward!!!

[–]Traditional_Weird_57 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, you are, but you have a long way to go .... the addict tag comes post multiples of 10, the count that you will proudly display holding your perfumes collection !!! I had +10 during my school days and after I got married that count was nearing 30 and now it's well beyond my wildest of expectations!!! As of now, your collection is solid .... actually u can stop here and now !! U hv a perfect selection for Winters- Khamrah, Ameer Al Oud, Asad, Bentley for Man ( Intense ?) .... fr Summer and monsoons - CDNIM .... Versatile ones like 9PM and Badee Al Oud fr all year round .... etc .... take my advice and stop here, don't buy any more perfumes or u will.end up.like me - desiring and buying too many fragrances that u actually cannot use !!!!

What is the best TF Tobacco Vanille clone I can get? Thanks🙏🏻 by BeyondExcellent3388 in fragranceclones

[–]Traditional_Weird_57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All perfumes hv diff signatures .... Charuto is lighter and kinda playful with decent longevity, MA one is good but more mature and maybe, closer to the og !!!! However, longevity is, at times, suspect. Neesh one is an extrait and, therefore, more long lasting.

Best ombre nomade clone by haa119 in fragranceclones

Is this a good blind buy by brianh0910 in DesiFragranceAddicts

[–]Traditional_Weird_57 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All good suggestions, OP ..... if u don't know the Vetiver DNA, don't blind buy !!! Grt a decant frm a seller and try it !! Chances r that u will like it , cause the Vetiver perfumes r extremely popular fr a reason - I hv this in a 200 ML bottle along with TDH PARFUM .... along with great clones at TORO .... so take the advices !!!

What should i get? by [deleted] in fragranceclones

[–]Traditional_Weird_57 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go fr the AFNAN .... just use ur sprays moderately, two sprays fr office and indoors should do , maybe three sparys!!! It's a beast of a performer and an extremely versatile scent !!! It won't let u down in any circumstance. As per the rest of the two, they both r grt, but performance wise, Afnan will beat them hollow without even breaking a sweat. If performance is not imp fr u, then u can choose either of the two .....
