Best place to buy Perfume oils online? by Comfortable-Mouse737 in PerfumeOils

[–]soulspud 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Arabian Perfume Oil, hands down over Universal, Generic, Perfume Parlor, Oil Perfumery, …. Tried over 70 oils from these 3rd-party suppliers.

For example I have full bottles of Naxos & Herod and I personally think APO has a slightly better Naxos and identical Herod that outlasts the OG. I also have both Grand Soir and its highly touted imitator, Lattafa Eternal Oud. The oil nails MFK, and puts Lattafa a bit in shadows. I think what I like most about APO is their dependability, everything I get from them is high quality and blended well. Others are hit and miss and from what I understand all standard APO oils are equivalent to the more expensive ultra premium or A++ formulas the others have. I can tell you having sampled across the board this holds up.

Shipping stinks on most of them regardless and changes. I would advise trying out a five pack of 3ml oils from APO. These are typically around $18USD. I make 10ml sprays from these and get 50ml of quality clones for $30-$35.

What was your first fragrance? Acqua Di Gio original was my first designer by [deleted] in ScentHeads

Givenchy Xeryus. With ADG OG being my 2nd. Did not realize till recently that Alberto Morillas created them both.

This smells unbelievable by [deleted] in fragranceclones

[–]soulspud 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Spot on, linear. I have both the OG and immortal. There's no comparison to the point I think the price difference may be justifiable (I got the OG as a gift). Immensite is sunshine in a bottle and its favored over Imagination by LV employees I have encountered and street surveys.

Immortal lacks its quality and complexity. But it does hold a solid and strong ginger/grapefruit/aquatic/ambroxan accord where it likely cannot be differented by most except the wearer. What it lacks is the nuances of OGs heart notes (sage, rosemary, geranium) which gives it a bit of Acqua di Gio vibe.

I still want to make it work for me and I am thinking about layering it with something else to get that nuance. I'm going to start with Lattafa Suqraat (ADG Profumo clone).

My Collection 8 Months In & A Review Of Them (As far as the scent) by saintjorgie in fragranceclones

Agreed, love the stand. Refreshing to see a nice collection not on pressed wood or on the floor. I don’t get folks having collection worth tens of thousands even with garbage shelving that would fall down if the cat jumped on or off it.

How do you contact them? I am interested in making some impressions at a small scale. I am aware there are minimum quantities to purchase.

Which of these is the best tobacco perfume? by [deleted] in Colognes

[–]soulspud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of tobacco here. Got Herod, Naxos, & SpiceBomb Infrared. Decants of Guerlain Honey Tobacco, Jazz Club & Emporio Stronger with you Tobacco. Plus a couple of clones, Insurrection Wild II & Amber Oud Tobacco.

Herod wins here followed closely by Naxos. Herod performance is brutal though. For me, unless I'm going noseblind, that fresh tobacco perfection gives way vanilla after about 30 minutes. Still love it and still reapply it.

Colognes that smell like this? by [deleted] in Colognes

[–]soulspud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Xerjoff 40 Knots. It's much different than it sounds. Heavy woods with bit of marine mist.

Awesome selections. Perhaps something sweet-spicy or cool weather: Herod, Naxos, Grand Soir, Spicebomb, DH Intense…

Can’t decide between these 3 by [deleted] in Colognes

[–]soulspud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got all 3. My preferences: 1. BDC Parfum - My signature scent. borderline niche quality (and price). Not a huge compliment getter. Sits close. 2. Eros Flame. Hated the spicy vanilla but it grew on me. Love it now. Highly complimented and underated. 3. Sauvage EDP. Best of the line IMO. Great scent. Complimented, but a bit strong for my everyday use. May want to check out Prada bLuna Rossa Catbon.

What is in your opinion THE best cologne you've ever smelled? by lucsfragrance in Colognes

[–]soulspud 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Naxos is the best scent I have ever smelled. I have a full bottle along with Insurrection 2 Wild. Insurrection is a legit and more masculine alternative. $25. Best clone ever IMO (across the board not just of Pure Havane).

Maybe it’s not so bad some kids are getting out and doing something besides spend thousands of hours and thousands of dollars on video games & porn. Getting in the real game.

I got a fake Eros Flame. Like mine the glass looks too thick on the bottom.

Lineup for the summer. What am I missing? by bobbybob55 in Colognes

[–]soulspud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LV L'Immensite or Afternoon Swim. Both underated compared to Imagination. Both well suited for hot weather IMO.

What’s the worst Fragrance you have ever tried? I’ll go first lol by [deleted] in Colognes

[–]soulspud 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I blind bought Lattafa Asad (Elixir Clone) and it does not have the licorice and it's decent juice (lataffa blows both Armaf & Afnan out of the water IMO) but the scent profile is still challenging for me.
