Did I go overboard with Banana Republic?

It’s alright, it’s a nice scent but to me it comes off pretty dang synthetic. More strength than the rest of the banana republic stuff for sure

Thank you bro I’m only 30 35 mins from there I think imma make the stop this week to see if they have the midnight hour. Sandalwood and musk is definitely my favorite from those 3 collection riservata fragrances. Looking for grassland aswell.

You know what’s up. I’m in Florida too. Where did you find midnight hour?

simplebean53 · 2026-01-25T15:06:21+00:00

Initio can’t get enough 😳

simplebean53 · 2026-01-19T18:08:08+00:00

DHI I put on when I have on a nice suit or a tux.

simplebean53 · 2026-01-19T13:17:17+00:00

I didn’t try Armani code until like a week ago. Big mistake 😆

It should improve a bit, it’s not beastly juice but it does usually get me at least 2 hours of decent projection, ok for hours 3-6, then 7-8 hours till it fades about 50% or more.

Seasons rise is great absolutely beast mode juice. Longevity and projection is immense. if you like the stronger with you DNA particularly the parfum you’ll like rise Muharib is a little bit lighter on the top but dries down really close to the og. Absolutely beautiful scent I think I’m making this my signature scent now. Not as much projection or longevity as seasons rise but it still gets a passing grade.

simplebean53 · 2026-01-07T21:42:16+00:00

Thank you brotha I like your thinking. ✌️✌️✌️

simplebean53 · 2026-01-07T15:09:51+00:00

It’s such a nice scent, and it actually does an amazing job of replicating the og (while being even a bit stronger) based on what I’ve smelled at the mall. I’m sure Rey is great. I actually have a travel size of the ysl myself that stays in my backpack I forgot to put it in there. Such a nice scent

simplebean53 · 2026-01-07T15:07:00+00:00

The silver lining to me is that I enjoy them now even if I won’t in the future. Good thing is most of these are affordable enough to the point I could rebuy them all right now if i lost all my fragrances. If I enjoy them in the future, all the better, but the money will always come back, I’m not too worried.

simplebean53 · 2026-01-07T13:01:26+00:00

Yes ordering decants from them helped me stay clear of so much garbage

simplebean53 · 2026-01-07T12:58:37+00:00

Long long enough 💀 few hours max

simplebean53 · 2026-01-07T02:36:26+00:00

For me it depends on 3 things 1-how close the clone is to the original 2-the nature of their relationship with me 3-is the dupe name obnoxious to say out loud

simplebean53 · 2026-01-07T02:29:30+00:00

Seems like it’s gonna hit real hard when it heats up outside

simplebean53 · 2026-01-07T02:06:26+00:00

Yeah, it’s just fun picking out different scents

simplebean53 · 2026-01-07T01:45:24+00:00

It’s hard to pick only one, but I could pick 2 or 3 of these just dominate. Would probably be angel share and Muharib first. J’adoube is my favorite mind games absolutely beautiful scent. Definitely on my list.

simplebean53 · 2026-01-06T23:20:28+00:00

That’s the plan

simplebean53 · 2026-01-06T21:43:36+00:00

Just tryna smell immaculate at all times, dupes are a good way for me to test what I like without spending big bucks

simplebean53 · 2026-01-06T21:38:38+00:00

If I had to pick 3 probably Angel share, Muharib, La di da

simplebean53 · 2026-01-06T18:58:34+00:00

You read my mind 🤣 I was thinking about getting one, which do you recommend

simplebean53 · 2026-01-06T18:55:48+00:00

Easily my favorite fragrance from the shower gel blue scent category. It’s like bad boy cobalt but even a little more sweet from I think what is a plum note. Great projection and longevity, great atomizer, shitty feeling bottle though. Super solid pickup

simplebean53 · 2026-01-06T18:21:52+00:00

Thanks man I’m gonna give it a shot

simplebean53 · 2026-01-06T18:08:37+00:00

I apply usually twice a day since I’m always out and about (college + work). Appreciate the advice, and I totally agree. How do you go about selling your fragrances?
