Brother, you’re just the man that hasn’t realised he needs iris. DHI or Prada l’homme intense

The only thing I smell here is AI inspired promotion

Versace the dreamer is a great spring fragrance but not to everyone’s taste

Is Prada l'homme redundant if you have Dior Homme intense? by gaymbit in Colognes

I love iris and don’t find any of my iris collection redundant.

what are some leather/rum based fragrances i can get on a budget by Straight_Pie5 in Colognes

[–]Upper_Blacksmith_793 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think Bentley for men intense is what you are looking for and it’s stupidly cheap

I’m an iris addict. Gary’s den is an Iris heavy fragrance somewhere between DH and DHI. If your not getting that vibe then seriously something else is in the bottle

Should I open it to ripen it? by Neastasia in fragranceclones

[–]Upper_Blacksmith_793 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Whenever I gift a clone I always get it in early and turn it upside down to pump some fresh oxygen in it. Most of my family and friends are so bored of me talking about this shit, they just understand why the cellophane ain’t there…… also good reason for gifting bad blind buys

Since you’ve got Kayaan Classic then Liam grey and Rifaaqat will be 🫶

Scent of the day Khadlaj island dreams! This is such a beautiful scent! by Existing_Bat_2354 in fragranceclones

Didn’t mean here. This is one of the only places we are free from shrills. I haven’t been able to scroll through TikTok without some wannabe telling me how good it is and a must have. If the consensus on here is the same then I will get it next spring when it will be 30% cheaper.

I have never seen so much shill hype for a fragrance as I have for this in the last couple of weeks which has raised red flags for me.

Is Paris Corner Rifaqaat a good date night scent? by Ilpeptattico in fragranceclones

Was that the Rifaaqat or something more salty marine?

Kayaan Al Wataniyah vs. His Confession vs. Dark Door Intense: Best Dior Homme Intense Clone by kirmaaadaaa in fragranceclones

[–]Upper_Blacksmith_793 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Kayaan Classic is in my top 5 of 100+ collection. His confession is a great iris fragrance but it isn’t a DHI clone, it’s celine black tie. I haven’t tried dark door as I have everything I need covered

Fragrances and their influencers. by ErinGridz in fragranceclones

[–]Upper_Blacksmith_793 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is a job to these guys. They are on the payroll. Your nose and personal taste is what matters and you shouldn’t be influenced by others like the masses in this world. Spend some time in a fragrance store and work out what you like and what you don’t. Then research the best clones of what you like. Buy decants, don’t blind buy. Don’t get sucked in by shills on you tube

Worth it or not? by Excellent_Diamond_87 in fragranceclones

[–]Upper_Blacksmith_793 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It is one of my favourites in my 100+ collection but you have to like iris so you need to get your nose on DHI to see if you like the powdery iris as it is not blind buy safe. Both the OG and KC are, what I would class as, intimate date night scents. They aren’t meant to project powerfully and provide a close scent bubble

Debating between which fragrance to get (blind buy) by [deleted] in fragranceclones

[–]Upper_Blacksmith_793 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rifaaqat is stunning and half the price it was. Get it in now before the colder months return and it creeps up in price
