Got 4 of these 5ml decants for around 1k+ from Whiff culture.

The stuff is authentic. I ordered these to spray during nice events. My friend has the bottle of supremacy CE and this is exactly what he has.

Disclaimer - none of these are mild perfumes. All of them are quite strong.

8/10 - Hawas ice - sweet, bubblegumy and fresh - does it smell like Invictus aqua? Kinda. But this is really good. Good formula. It's been engineered to perform.

6/10 - Club de nuit pure parfum - it's sad when brands like engage yin smells almost 90 percent similar to a decant i paid 350 bucks for. 5ml guys. It's so annoying. But this is much better than yin in many ways but it's annoying that you can get away with yin. This one lasts longer and has more depth when it dries down. Especially the woody notes.

8/10 - Afnan supremacy CE - absolute beast. Fills up the room. Your presence will be known. Don't know what Aventus smells like but this is my favourite interpretation of it. The smokynese and spicyness in this just amazing. Both club de nuit and this have nice pineapple opening. I'm definitely get a 30ml decant of this.

9/10 - Ibrahim al qureshi cuban tobacco - guys, this might just be my signature scent. What an amazingly smooth tobacco with such creaminess coming from sandalwood. The leather is not unbearable. The cocoa is blended really nicely into the tobacco. The sweetness from honey is something you'll notice in the dry down. Amazing. This is worth the money. And what a great long lasting fragrance. Bang for your buck.

I'll suggest everyone to buy 5ml decants. Best way to test and experience fragrances. And please note down your experience in a journal (this post is like my journal)

Also please tell if you know any trusted local decant sellers in Mumbai. Cheers 🥂

A friend gave this to me as a gift cuz I told him I like perfumes.

I thought he was pulling my leg when he got me this but turns out this was the actual gift xD

I had a bad image of this brand in my head. Why? Idk. I thought I was too cool for this.

Surprise surprise.

All three are damn good.

Cigar - an amazing copy of Cigar by Remy Latour. I'd say there's almost no difference. The original one is sweeter and this is slightly more minty.

Ammo - i love this one. This is my favourite out of the three. A weird clone in the best way of Sauvage or Bleu de Chanel. It's spicy, cool and earthy. I totally recommend you to buy a 100ml. Cuz I definitely will.

Whisky - this one is okay. It's not bad. Not the best whisky/boozy fragrance. It's supposedly a copy of the Killian Angels share but it doesn't smell like Khamrah. I like the Beardo whisky smoke better I'd say.

Moral of the story? Don't judge by the price.

Ammo and cigar have gotten me so many compliments.

These are quite the light fragrances. What does that mean? Even though it says EDP, this shit projects like a beast in the 1st hour like an EDT. It does stay with you for like 4 to 5 hours. It's not bad.

799 for a 100ml. If you spray 8 to 10 times, you'll be sorted for the day. Cheers 🥂

I was bored. I have a perfume problem. I decided to give my disposal income to Tata that evening. The question is do i regret it? Let's find out

Let's start with the Tiny ones (all for 195 INR)

003 - i wish there was a bigger bottle of this. Fresh and manly lavender accent. A clone of stronger with you. I like this.

005 - a copy cat of paco rabbane 1 million. I like this fragrance.

Bora Bora - this one is from the women's section. I liked this. A copy of Calvin Klein eternity. Don't be afraid to try women's perfume ;)

The bigger ones

Mocha Toast (50ml)(595INR) - Khamrah Qahwa dupe. I like it. A bit of coffee and feels boozy and heavy. I didn't like the other lighter alternative which was the Mocha crumble. Too basic vanilla.

Noir (100ml)(1295INR) - My favourite one yet. A copy of Diesel Bad. This shit smells good, clean, fresh and soapy. Get this one for sure.

Quality:

Small ones - for that price, I don't know how they managed good packaging and bottle. The fragrance is really good for its price. Go crazy on these. Get more than a few.

Mocha - i like the fragrance. No alcohol blast... Maybe a little. Good for the evenings. Something women might like on you. You'll smell like a cinnamon pie.

Noir - 100ml? Great. I'll spray this shit like crazy. It smells quite sophisticated. Alcohol blast? Not that I've noticed.

Longevity and projection:

I live in Mumbai. This my friends, doesn't project that well. First half an hour or 45 minutes if you're in AC. If someone in the same room is wearing a middle eastern fragrance, that will definitely drown you out.

Stays on your skin for an hour? A little bit more.

On clothes? Much longer. With enough sprays you can get 4-5 hours out of this.

These are not bad. They do more than they should for the amount you've paid. They give you options. Having options is always nice.

Once you've understood yourself better in life, go get those expensive fragrances cuz then you'll know what you don't want. Cheers 🥂
