[WTS] Lattafa Atlas, Dynasty & Lalique Encre Noire (bottle)

All prices are shipped and all bottles come with their box.

If ordered tonight (Wednesday) or tomorrow morning/afternoon (Thursday), I'll have these shipped out Thursday afternoon or Friday afternoon at the latest.

Lattafa Atlas (Orto Parisi Megamare clone) 55ml, approximately 90% full. $20 shipped.

A powerful marine fragrance inspired by Megamare. Salty, aquatic, and long-lasting. 55ml may not sound like much, but a little goes a very long way with this one.

Lattafa Dynasty 100ml, approximately 85% full. $20 shipped.

A unique and underrated fragrance built around red tea and suede. Smooth, slightly sweet, and unlike most fragrances in this price range.

Lalique Encre Noire 100ml, approximately 70% full. $16 shipped.

A dark, dry vetiver fragrance with an earthy character that can smell almost like damp loamy soil. A modern classic for fans of woody and natural scents.

Add-on only:

Al Haramain Detour Noir (PDM Layton clone) 100ml, approximately 40% full. $5 with any purchase.

I’ll also throw in a free 5ml decant of 2018 CDNIM EDT with every order. The infamous "lemon cleaner" opening dissipates much faster, and this batch lasts longer than any other CDNIM flanker I've personally tried to date.

CONUS only. PayPal F&F/G&S, Cash App, or Venmo accepted.

[WTT] Imaginary Authors The Cobra & The Canary (bottle)

Looking to trade a BNIB 50ml bottle of The Cobra & The Canary. Really cool scent with bright lemon, worn leather, hay, and that unique asphalt road trip vibe. Definitely one of the more interesting fragrances from Imaginary Authors and a fun one to experience.

I picked up a couple bottles when I heard it was being discontinued, so I figured I would get one back out to someone who has been wanting to try it or add it to their collection.

Comes with a sample of The Soft Lawn as well.

ISO

Heeley Sel Marin

Pineward Coastal Veil

Lorenzo Pazzaglia Black Sea (partial is fine)

Imaginary Authors The Language of Glaciers

Other interesting indie or niche fragrances

Open to offers as well. Always interested in checking out something new.

CONUS only.

[WTB] Dr. Squatch Castaway Cove (Bottle)

Hey everyone,

Figured I’d try one last time. I’m looking for Dr. Squatch Castaway Cove to finish off my collection.

If you picked it up as a fan of the brand and don’t really use it anymore, or it was a gift just sitting around, I’d be interested in buying it off you.

Full or partial bottle is fine, but I strongly prefer it with the original box if you still have it.

It’s the last one I need to complete the set of six, so if you’ve got one you’re willing to part with, let me know.

Thanks!

Kaaf by Ahmed Al Maghribi - The Daily Driver for You?

https://preview.redd.it/8uyf3td3tk1h1.jpg?width=1620&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f0069a6be3f3cff4acf1371f49b0783b026dd8f6

I’ll start this by saying I haven’t tried Parfums de Marly Percival, and it’s been forever since I smelled Abercrombie & Fitch Fierce, so I can’t really compare this accurately to either. I also know Kaaf has already had a ton of hype, so I’ll keep this pretty short.

Right away you get that classic masculine woody aromatic profile: sweet citrus, lavender, musks, and that slightly synthetic freshness. Honestly though, this reminded me of something specific for a while and I finally realized it smells really similar on my skin to Old Spice Bearglove (specifically the body wash) for the first 30 minutes or so. Sounds crazy, but once I looked up the notes on Bearglove (“zesty citrus, crisp greens, and spice”) it kind of made sense to me. I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if this reminds people of a bunch of body washes because of the scent profile.

As it dries down, I get more florals and that watermelon sweetness people talk about, then eventually it settles into a musky ambroxan base. Pretty standard modern fresh fragrance DNA.

The biggest strength here is definitely performance. My bottle is strong. The sweetness sits somewhere between Hawas and Club de Nuit Blue Iconic to my nose, but performance wise it leans way closer to Hawas. This stuff projects strongly and lasts all day.

I think Kaaf is decent overall. Easy to wear, masculine, and versatile, but definitely go light on the sprays because it can get loud and a little headache-inducing if you overdo it. If you’re sensitive to synthetic fragrances this probably won’t be your thing, but if you want a sweet woody aromatic freshie with strong performance, then this could be right up your alley.

This one did make me interested in trying more from the house though, especially Kaaf Noir

LV Ombré Nomade vs Zimaya Ilham Al Oud – Surprisingly Close?

https://preview.redd.it/eirfhu8e2q0h1.jpg?width=4092&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8db78a896ee85a32c075a7dcbfdf3c14dc41ee81

I see a lot of people talking about clones of the fresh LV fragrances but I don’t see too many people talking about alternatives to the oud line. One fragrance I really wanted a cheaper version of was Ombré Nomade, which led me to pick up Zimaya Ilham Al Oud.

I’ve had this for around 4 months now to let it mature a bit.

Opening

Right away you get that recognizable oud, rose, and saffron combo that makes Ombré Nomade so unique. The biggest difference in the opening is that Ilham Al Oud smells a tad smokier with more incense but also has a little more sweetness.

A lot of Middle Eastern clones seem to make things sweeter but I think it works well here.

Comparison

As it dries down, Ilham Al Oud changes a lot faster than Ombré Nomade. I started getting more raspberry pretty early on, and I also think this one dries down a bit more leathery. If you’ve tried LV Nouveau Monde, it sort of reminds me of a mix of that and Ombré Nomade.

I was honestly surprised by the oud in this one. I was worried it would be weak or watered down, but that wasn’t the case at all. It’s definitely not as loud or beast mode as Ombré Nomade, but I actually prefer it that way. For me, Ombré Nomade can be a bit too much sometimes, while this feels easier to wear without losing that richness.

I often see people mention that certain clones tend to have a slight Middle Eastern twist to them. In this case though, it actually works in favor of the clone. The incense, oud, and rose all come together really well.

Performance

Performance was better than I expected. I got around 5–6 hours on skin with pretty solid projection for the first couple hours. It also stayed on my clothes much longer.

It’s toned down compared to Ombré Nomade but honestly that makes it more wearable for me.

Price / Value

This is probably the craziest part. I paid around $30 for a 100mL bottle while Ombré Nomade costs over $400.

No, it’s not a perfect clone but for the price I think it gets really close. I’m bad with percentages but I’d probably say it captures around 75–80% of the Ombré Nomade experience.

Who is this for?

I still would not call this a safe blind buy. Even toned down, this style of fragrance is still pretty challenging if you’re not already into oud and rose fragrances.

If you want the super loud room-filling beast mode side of Ombré Nomade then this might not fully satisfy you. But if you want a slightly sweeter and easier-to-wear version for less than a tenth of the price, then I think this is absolutely worth trying.

This one surprised me more than I expected.
