Ordered from Neroli Decants for the first time. Super quick shipping & delivery, triple wrapped in bubble wrap, atomizers plumbers taped off, and most importantly - the bagged up lollipop lol. Will definitely order my next decant batch from Neroli again.

I just nuked my nostrils huffing on all 5 of these for the past 30 minutes, so I can’t give an accurate description or feedback on favorites just yet.

Right off the bat, I will say what I enjoyed most goes as:

40 Knots

Naxos

Blonde Amber

Alexandria ii

Red Tea Vetiver

Going to give my nose a break and start testing these 1 by 1 for a day or two at a time.

Hey all,

I just received my 10ML of Banadir 01 (Aventus Absolu), I must say.. it smells DANG good. It’s been some time since I last smelled Av Absolu but this thing is crazy good (smelling).

I prefer purchasing from niche houses but I was questioning yet another $300-$500 purchase of smelly water - hence I rabbit holed into the world of “clones”. The reason I’m posting here, versus the FragClones group, I don’t want feedback from strictly clone collectors and/or some paid off shill that just overhypes and spews BS.

I blind bought Lattafa K Qahwa and it quite literally messed me up, itchy bumpy skin, most nauseating headache and burning sensation within my nose/throat - which makes me worried about these “clone” middle eastern houses.

Can anyone here speak on the quality of materials used within Banadirs in house juices? There’s not much out there like there is with Montagne, which many claim their juices are the highest quality in their market. While I must say this Banadir 01 smells phenomenal and no negative reactions, I’m only spraying it on clothes for now.

Appreciate any insight on this!

I’ve had the original Aqua Celestia for about 3 to 4 years now (it’s almost empty which is killing my internally). About a year ago I blind bought AC Cologne Forte. I didn’t like it at first but now that it’s sat for a year, it’s fantastic (however, still not like the OG).

On MFKs site I only see Aqua C Cologne Forte and Aqua Universalis.

Current collection Creed GIT, Mi, VIW and from MFK Aqua Celestia, and Aqua Celestia Cologne Forte.

Just ordered some samples from Neroli Decants:

Clive Christian Red Tea Vetiver

Clive Christian Blonde Amber

Xerjoff Torino 24

Xerjoff Alexandra ii

Xerjoff 40 Knots

Xerjoff Naxos

Hoping to add and grow my small little collection.

Any layering recommendations with the listed juices?

To those shooting in RAW and editing via LR. This image was taken in a darker setting and brought to life, am I over sharpening it or was it out of focus?

If you zoom in on the dial and date wheel, it’s all grainy and fuzzy.
