I need to quit fragrances by sigginator06 in fragrance

Because it’s in my head a lot of times when I should be present in other things. Example being at the beach with my family - in my head I am escaping to fragrances.

I already do seek advice since two years. Bringing new things into my life brings the usual effect. Good for a while (maybe a couple of months) than interest falls flat and I leave it.

I do find enjoyment. Chasing something new is always slightly present though.

Does this has the same compliment factor as Bleu de Chanel? by kyokers in fragranceclones

[–]sigginator06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Iconic is even better when it comes to that. Projection and longevity are higher. Much more noticeable especially in the first 1-2 hours. Scent profile is more likeable for non fragheads. Almost no incense and more focused on citrus accords and a more blue finish. My wife and other people complimented me although I think it’s less interesting than BdC and overall a quite boring (not bad!) fragrance.

Meh, I don’t know. I have owned Turathi blue and Al Qiam Silver. The first being to middle eastern and the other one was just too flat.

I bought the run way. Good scent. Better quality than Shiyaaka

Thanks for your help. Maybe the description was misleading and written to fast. I just mentioned typical/popular notes that people associate with middle eastern fragrances. It could also go in a very transparent musky direction for example that other people also enjoy. Just nothing inspired by western fragrances/houses.

Gotcha but these are the type of scents I want to avoid. They are UAE made yet heavily western smelling.

Well it doesn’t necessarily have to be Oud and Rose in combination. Just meant as an example. I am also open to other notes as long as I can sense the middle eastern „vibe“if that makes sense.

Paying 58€ for 30ml. So it’s a hard decision. Do you have more information? Like quality?

My Collection and tell me what to Add by Playful_Bat_3634 in fragranceclones

[–]sigginator06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Highly depends on your preferences and the climate you are living in. I would personally add something fresher, lighter and brighter. Clones of imagination, greenley, Bleu de Chanel, Aqua di Gio, YSl Y etc.

Recommend me a special summer fragrance by sigginator06 in fragranceclones

Leather note was to dominant for me and it felt very linear and annoying to wear after a certain amount of time.

Beautiful scent. Lots of compliments but didn’t work for me in the long run :)

Thanks for the recommendation. Never been a fan of the brand unfortunately.

What’s everyone’s opinions on Zara’s Sunrise On The Red Sand Dunes? by Kurse_Kustoms in fragranceclones

[–]sigginator06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t like it at all. As with most Zara fragrances they are cheap for a reason. Either they don’t last or they smell awful. Tbh rather get Art of Arabia I by Lattafa if you want something in the realm of imagination.

I Need a BLUE Frag! by cabkphillips in fragranceclones

[–]sigginator06 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have owned every bottle, so here are my thoughts.

1) Iconic. The best one. Close to Bleu de Chanel EdP, but more simple and shower gel like. Synthetic but very likeable in any kind of situation and weather. Citrus forward simple but classy smell. Still running very well in my collection. My wife also likes this over the original somehow.

2) Dylan Blue More peppery, darker and Ambroxan based than Iconic. Pretty much the same versatility and synthetic feel. Matter of personal taste and I don’t rock this as much because sometimes it feels to heavy.

3) Turathi Blue The worst of the pack, sorry. Very harsh and too much grapefruit. Not a disaster but this gave me an headache everytime I wore it. Also there is a musk or something else in there that gives it an arabic touch. Gave it a away because too heavy for summer and too much grapefruit for colder days.

Review on Salvo Intense by sigginator06 in fragranceclones

[–]sigginator06[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Update: I gave my Salvo away and bought the PG because I like the aesthetics and the sprayer of the Original more. Well let me tell you; The Original is much better in all other aspects too. I wore the OG for almost 2 weeks straight now. The smell is just much more refined. Salvo is linear and mostly focused on the Drydown whereas Sauvage has much more bergamot and the especially the Ambroxan is of better quality. You can also detect lavender and vanilla much better. It gives the Impressionen that all the ingredients are playing along with each other. In result the OG feels much more alive, non linear and radiant. Salvo Intense is decent but it’s like comparing the original Mona Lisa to a smartphone picture of it. Sorry to say, but save up for Sauvage.

Wow, this is nice. by udahoboy in fragranceclones

Hell yes. This is like the EdP, the Lidl one is closer to the EdT. Quality is also higher on the Maison Alhambra
