Mykonos slow living, fresh out from laundry

Bought slow living recently, though idk when the brand will launch and prices will get reduced. Got this in hype though its a pretty simple frag , clean citrusy smells like clothes came straight from laundry . Because of the prominent Neroli note in this. Citrusy, floral indeed a safe scent if you like that laundry or new clothes smell. Issue with it is its lasting projects for like 30-40 mins and lasts like 2-3 hrs onlyy , twist of neroli portofino by TF.

2 things more needed and it would have been perfect.

  1. 100 ML bottle at the right price sub 2500

  2. longevity is a lil less

This is a compliment Magnet 🧲- Ahmed al maghribi oud & roses

By far one of the best perfumes from AAM, beast mode though by hearing roses in its name you may think it leans feminine but it isnt its very masculine to me. They only mention oud and rose as notes but to me it got some light citruses too in the opening and rose in it smells like an expensive rose based soap. I mean it has some soapiness to it

One of the best rose fragrances i have smelled though ! Very interesting and mass pleasing fragrance , though not a blind buy for everyone try a decant first I would say

Performance is just out of the box will just say beast mode longevity and projection

Mykonos California Blue, another dupe of hawas but made better

So, this one is somewhere between hawas and hawas ice if mixed together. Btw if you have any of them you dont need this one, but if you dont have something from the hawas DNA and want to try that old batch hawas which was famous for its performance, cause new batches have shitty performance. This is the one you should go with again there are issues with its availability and pricing as they havent yet launched in India. But i bought this from dubai 100 ml just for 80 AED , so if it launches around 2100-2500 in India then only its a try for you anything above that should be expensive.

Also the performance and quality is neck to neck with my old hawas batch and far more superior than new batches

In love with this- Ingenious ginger

In love with this fragrance , this is very rare currently but by lucky scentoriaaa had 2 pieces left😂 so bought this one!

It smells like sospiro vibrato or tygar the same ginger and grapefruit DNA but the game changer is it's drydown the way it takes transition from a fresh citrusy perfume into a vanilla based sweet gourmand just blows my mind. People generally say this is a summer scent but for me I can wear this all year around.

Lasting is decent for like 6-7 hours projection is moderate for 2-3 hours after which it becomes a skin scent

Latest Launch which I actually tried 4 months ago- Riiffs Seasons rise

Bought riiffs seasons rise as it launched in India now but I tried it in dubai atleast 4 months back when I was on a trip but couldn't purchase as I already had many perfumes in my bag, so didn't take the risk as customs is very strict nowadays. Now coming to review bought it from a discounter for around 2.3k .

This is very much similar to stronger with you intensely though fragrantica says iits a clone of SWY parfum but for me its very much similar to intensely as i have never tried parfum. Opens up similar with lots of vanilla and chestnut , very sweet and warm scent profile which is so seductive for cooler weathers , now in monsoons if you wear it in parties and late night dates or clubbing this is a perfect fragrance.

Projection is really good in this one anyone standing in 2-3 ft radius will be able to smell you. Easily projects for around 2 hours just dont wear too much sprays in a closed area like a car or a small space otherwise it can choke others . For the price i genuinely liked the quality and specially the performance though its still very early days of my use

Naseem Aqua, my go to Dumbreach fragrance

This smells so good for so cheap, i recently got a decant of tygar and this is pretty close.

This starts with juicy grapefruits with citrus and a lot of ginger, this is sweet at the same time fresh and citrusy. I would say its a grapefruit rich ginger and citrusy candy . If i had to describe its scent profile.

Performance is good considering this is an water based perfume not beast mode like the turathi but decent you get 1 hour of good projection and then another 30 mins of close scent bubble before it settles downs as a skin scent. Stays as a skin scent on clothes for easily 5 hrs.

Considering the price its worthy i describe it as my dumb reach fragrance

Menworks profondo intense - long term usage review

took out my almost 1 year old bottle of profondo intense which has hardly 20 ml of juice remaining.

Honestly saying this has got to be the best clone of ADG profondo under 800₹ back then. The quality of this is just mind blowing i dont know whether the new bottles have this quality of juice or not but this is so close to ADG profondo that hardly you can spot the difference in air!

The bottle though back then looked very cheap but now they have upgraded the bottles , i hope when i buy a new bottle they mantain the juice quality

Scent profile- Aquatic opening with citruses and some smell of rosemary is what i get from this stays linear almost from start to end.

Definitely a mass pleasure perfume i wear in gym or just for casual outings

Performance- 40-50 mins of moderate projection than very close scent bubble of 1-2 ft for another 30-40 mins after that turns into a skin scent

Worth it? Definitely yes if menworks has mantained the same juice quality till now

Why hate to one brand who copied bottles and no backlash on Westside?

Just want to know why didnt these westside perfumes got hate as much as bla bli blu got? They also exactly copied BTS perfume bottles and to be very frank i dont like any of BBB perfumes just love drunk is at par okay for the budget , but after all the hate they are changing there bottles and caps now, but why do we not comment on brands like westside? They are on a more commercial level than any of these new online indian brands..

Guerlain Epices exquises review

This perfume is a perfect example of how spicy perfumes should be, a unique smelling perfume but very much mass appealing, despite being spicy its not a polarising mostly people will like it out of first spray. The spices dont pinch into my nose, its very balanced. Spicy warm a lil creamy almost perfect for winters! Pepper , cardamom and lovely creamy amber in drydown. Literally just love it.

Very long lasting easily lasts 7-8 hours for me on clothes projects like a 3-4 ft distance

Initial impressions of Perfume capsules- late check-out by madnose

I have a habit of impulse-buying random stuff online, and these perfume capsules caught my attention. 😅 The box comes with 25 × 1 ml capsules, so each one is basically a single-use sample. It’s definitely a unique concept, especially for travel.

I got the Late Checkout pack. It reminds me of the Aventus DNA, but I wouldn’t call it a clone. Opens with a fresh bergamot-heavy citrus blast and some juicy pineapple, then settles into a mossy, musky drydown.

Performance: Around an hour of decent projection, followed by another 40–50 minutes where it stays within arm’s length before becoming a skin scent. On clothes, it lasts noticeably longer.

Paid around ₹750 on Flipkart. I wouldn’t say it’s the best value if you’re only after performance, but if you like trying new fragrance formats or want something super portable while traveling, it’s a fun purchase.

A basic fragrance that everyone likes- naseem ocean enigma

Bought Naseem ocean enigma in recent eid sale after seeing multiple reviews of it.

Scent profile - Opening is fresh , citrusy nothing very unique but something everyone around you will like, kinda basic but that works very well. Opening is like if you have ever used cinthol lemon body wash! What I like is it doesn't have that harsh syntheticness to it. Neither that face hitting citruses everything is very subtle .

Versatility - can wear literally anywhere it feels like the right scent for every occasion 10/10 in versatility

Projection & lasting- 40-45 mins of moderate projection , you can get close whiffs upto 1.5 hrs after that it's a skin scent lasts around 3-4 hours on skin!

Scent profile- 8/10

Projection & lasting - 7/10

Finally Got my hands on Khamrah waha- Overhyped frag

Finally got my hands on the most hyped fragrance khamrah waha, to be honest I wasn't impressed and to me this is extremely overhyped.

Scentprofile is like it has lil salty and cucumber notes in the opening but only for 15-20 mins after that this feels like a toned down version of khamrah OG. It's like one spray of khamrah 😂 or diluted khamrah after the drydown. Isn't near anywhere close to Nautica voyage for people who are comparing it.

It has the same boozyness and warm notes after drydown though very subtle but isn't appropriate for the 45 degree weather here in north India.

If you have to buy it I would suggest to wait till September cause that's the weather you will be able to use it. It's a skip for me for now at this price

Can't even use this as a bathroom freshener - Perfumers club

Man who tf buys this and why is this a bestseller on amazon bought just to try after they started b*mbing my insta with ads . Trust me guys you people hate the wrong brands bella vita, BBB, olga . This brand and perfume deserves 10x much more hate this cant be used as a toilet freshener literally. This is such chemical warfare even mosquito sprays smell much better than this. In the end now i know why they gave a sprayer that can finish the whole bottle in a single spray cause you wont be able to use it. Marketing aani chahie sab bik jata hai India me

Its pineapple in a bottle. Thats it. Yea there are other notes like ambergris and a bit of oakmoss, but really what youre gonna get is pineapple. But man, its good pineapple.

If you think Vulcan fir as a mango fragrance think eclipse as a pineapple fragrance

Think of it as a juicer version of afnan supremacy collector edition

Its juicy but not crazy juicy, i think the wood and ambergris give this an almost burnt smell. Like to me it smells like a juicy toasted pineapple. Because of that it is insanely versatile. Any season any temp any time of day you can rock this.

However, it very potent projection but average longevity You can choke a room out with this so be careful with how many sprays you do.

The bottle really looks premium but there's a problem because of its graphite like texture you can hardly see it's name!

For 1600₹ it's a good scent though
