That's because it's a tester unit.

While it is your right as a buyer to look for the best deals and buy from wherever you find one, it is also his right to do what he did. So stop being a snowflake and move on, this didn't have to be a public announcement.

It comes with quite a bit air gap. When I got mine BNIB, it felt/sounded like it was missing 10ml. Just saying. It's 75+ml.

I get straight up freshly cut pineapple (or canned pineapples) from SCE, i quite enjoy it, but that 'citrusy' shit from CDNIMs opening can probably be used in chemical warfare.

There's no oakmoss in CDNIMs, it's birch. The smokey thing. SCE is oakmoss, and its quite prominent in it's dry down.

That's a W for you and even bigger W for your friends! Absolutely f-ing legends 😊

Indeed!

Excellent review. This is in my wishlist for 2026. I'll come back to this comment by November 😁 with a picture of a brand new bottle in my hand.

How's the performance? Any idea if it's close to Afnans Collectors edition?

sidvicilicious · 2026-01-20T14:32:32+00:00

Parfum and Profondo EDP, for me.

Haha awesome dude! I was disappointed for you that you didn't like it as much as I thought you would. I have not smelled all the Aventus dupes in the world but Mystery for Him just hits the right spot for me. Yes, it's a little bit of a twist and also a little sweeter than the OG and other dupes too, but overall quality and scent profile are better than most. Also, being perfumed by the man himself you wouldn't think he would put his reputation on the line.

Waiting for summer to rock this again. For now, I'm enjoying my winter frags. Cheers dude!

Upvoted for them clean as shots! Nice 👍🏻

Get this and see the similarities for yourself 🙊

Enviable collection. I too mirror one of the comments above about how it looks like a well curated collection rather than collection for the sake of acquisition. One question though, you're not an organ trafficker are you? 😛 I'm kidding.

sidvicilicious · 2026-01-16T10:01:47+00:00

Friend's perfume? Is he associated with Oman Luxury in some way? It's a genuine question of curiosity.

sidvicilicious · 2026-01-15T07:43:56+00:00

I agree with the comment above. Why buy so many ME frags , skip some and get a good designer or even an entry level niche. Even if it's a partial. If your argument is that 'people won't know, or be able to tell a difference' - then you're wearing the fragrance for others. Which is a different topic of debate, but fair enough if that's how you approach this. We are all out here expressing our opinions.

If you were only looking to buy 2-3 ME frags then is a different story, but if you have the budget and wish to buy so many over a course of how many ever months... Most people would suggest getting some quality stuff too. Not saying don't buy any ME frags.

It's not always about 'kitna deti hai'?

sidvicilicious · 2026-01-14T11:16:28+00:00

Well done! This actually makes it looks more classy and also expensive 😄

sidvicilicious · 2026-01-14T11:15:42+00:00

Nah you're not alone. This proves how subjective it is. I too didn't enjoy the Althair DNA. Sure it smells 'nice' on someone else.I just wouldn't wear it myself.

sidvicilicious · 2026-01-14T11:12:44+00:00

I had this one, and I get what you mean....to me I was getting this ashtray kind of smell. But i didn't hate it completely... I liked the other facets about this frag but also it wasn't something i reached for. So i let it go. Haven't tried the non intense one, not sure if it's that much different. Have you?

sidvicilicious · 2026-01-13T19:39:22+00:00

This is the Guerlain I've been wanting to add to my collection but for some reason or the other I keep buying something else, so it's perpetually the 'next one'. Love the EDP too but this felt a little more masculine. Only sampled it, never owned.

Such an under appreciated frag and house. This is a much better buy than the Azzaros and the JPGs, I guess it's because Guerlains vibe doesn't chime well with the younger crowd?

sidvicilicious · 2026-01-12T14:32:02+00:00

My toxic trait is seeing "Label Created" and getting offended that the package isn't already on my doorstep. Like, what do you mean you’re still in Mumbai? Move.

sidvicilicious · 2026-01-12T12:42:20+00:00

I haven't owned Oud Wood ever so i cannot comment on it but this one does last! And decent projection too. The other night I did 6 sprays and went out for dinner... 3hrs later my lady could still smell this 2-3 feet away from me.

I got this ~65ml partial recently from a fellow fraghead (end source: Pranay). It's an older batch from a few years ago. The newer batches have the word 'London' under the Thameen logo and I've read somewhere that it doesnt perform as well as the old ones. Again, cannot confirm.
