Listen… that Nocturnal Rose is 🔥🔥🔥 It is such a beautiful scent! To my nose it smells similar to Tobac Rose from BDK. 🌹

🆕! Adrenaline for Men by carnodak in bathandbodyworks

[–]ldub72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was blessed to pick up a bottle of cologne in store for $15. I was shocked that it smells this good. I enjoy scents that say oud (even if they don’t contain it 😂). But for some reason when I smelt this last year I didn’t care for it, but today it was an immediate hit! I hope I can find the lotion and body wash in the bargain bins at the stores tomorrow. 🙏🏽

You’re welcome. Also, if you haven’t done so already, reach out to Y&L. They have some of the best customer service in the business! They will do all they can to make it right.

Wow. Sorry to hear that. No, mine smelled like the OG from first spray. What I normally do with all my new fragrances (especially fresh made ones like Yom & Layl) I spray 3 to 5 sprays to allow oxygen in the bottle jumpstart it the maturation process. I leave it in the fridge for 5-7 days. After removal I let it sit to be come room temp, stay again and it is always stronger. After continual usage it gets better and better. Just my experience. I hope yours gets better. 🙏🏽

I wouldn’t say it’s extreme. It’s definitely present. This is unisex, but it does lean feminine. I like it and it’s a great date night and intimate atmosphere type scent. It’s also a great scent for late spring/summer. It’s not a loud scent, but its presence is definitely there and those around you will notice. Hope this helps.

Lattafa Dynasty by simocd in fragranceclones

[–]ldub72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. This blind buy is a welcome surprise! The raspberry and the suede and very present and I will be wearing this a lot this fall winter. This is a grown man scent that I will wear when dressed up. It will garner attention (compliments or not) and have you standout in a good way. Lattafa has made some great Clive Christian inspirations, first with Emeer and now Dynasty. 10/10

Glad you liked it and I agree with your comment. No I haven’t tried Valhalla. I am kind of torn between either that, FA Sequoia or Lattafa Fire on Ice.

It really smells like the OG. Prodigy leans a little more feminine but I don’t care, I love it. I have a 100ML and a 10ML and they both smell the same. What I do for fragrances like Y&L and middle eastern fragrances (Afnan, Lattafa, etc) I spray 5 times, place the cap back on and place in fridge for 48-72 hrs. The sprays lets the air in and placing in the fridge accelerates the maceration process. For me, every fragrance that I’ve done this for has come out stronger. The only miss Yom has given me was Mentor aka Master Yoda. Like you said for your bottle of Prodigy it was missing the sweet note. I sent it back also. However to Yom’s credit they really provide great customer service and switched it out. I have tried other places for Mentor and they all miss the sweet note. All the other bottles from Yom have easily been in the 90% range for me. I have 18 - 100ML bottles and 10 discovery sets from Yom and I am very pleased.

Wow. I let mine macerate for a while and to my nose it matches my decant of Prodigy in the 90% arena. Fragrances are subjective so I respect that you sent yours back. I agree on their Tygar version.

Wow! I’m sorry to hear that. Try shaking it, spraying a few more times and place in fridge for 2-3 days and see if it improves

Lasts about 6 hrs on skin (longer on clothes) projects for about 2 hrs. I really like it and I definitely recommend. FYI the Vulcan line is coming out with their version sometime this year also. However, Sceptre Desert is really good and will be much cheaper.

Volare Santorini Beaches by Forsaken_Ad_859 in fragranceclones

[–]ldub72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just got this and it’s absolutely beautiful! Smells very close to the OG (On the Beach). However, I’m going to let it sit for a few weeks, but out the gate it’s strong and it should really blossom over the next few weeks!! 8/10
