Ajmal Oud mukhallat- for the love of Indian perfumery

Only read this review if you are into traditional perfumery, first of all very beautiful glass bottle gives that rainbow effect , bought this from myntra for around 1.5k after offers. 6ML attar in the bottle. So mukhallat basically means “mixing”. So this one is basically a mix of oud and Indian spices and rose . specially “saunf” this smells like saunf and merthi supaari with a very light oud note this is not at all a skanky or animalic oud it also has florals and Indian spices such as saffron but majorly that “saunf” smell is very prominent. Also this comes with a dipstick not a roll on

Lasting is around 3-4 hrs on skin and easily 7-8 hrs on fabric , more on winter wear.

Thanks for reading guys❤️

This Underrated cheapies from ajmal is actually really good- Oud nirvana

Tried this oud nirvana at an ajmal store recently liked it immediately but prices were on a higher side in store, so ordered for around 1350 from myntra. This is a very fine fragrance once you try it you will be shocked to see the quality under 1500 it's really good.

Starts off fresh but is a prominent oriental frag with leather and that dark patchouli to it. Beautiful darkness of patchouli I also get that saffron touch but it isn't mentioned in notes. In the base you get that creamy amber along with patchouli that is evident from start till it fades off

Performance - Solid performer right out of the box 6-7 sprays easily lasts for over 10-11 hours on clothes and projection is very strong for the first hour followed by close scent bubble for another hour.

Under 1500₹ it's a worthy perfume but not safe for blind buy so I will say go checkout in any ajmal store and then buy online😂

Ababel Euphoria discovery set initial impressions

After all the hype bought the new launch set from ababel - Euphoria

It has 5 perfumes - 5x10 ML costed me lil above 1k will give initial impressions and please consider it coming from a beginner

So I don't know what any of each clones or anything i can just tell if it smells good or nah😂

Pristine- smells like a lemon drink more like a mojito very fresh and uplifting scent profile and mostly everyone gonna like it.

Malibu vibes- opening is really good but drydown is okayish I mean it has that orange note which gets a lil bitter in drydown which I don't like much but yes it's okayish but the glitter in the bottle looks really good

Yatch club- Has that coconut note otherwise I was so excited seeing a perfume with watermelon note I love that but coconut note just turns off for me. Though it's really long lasting and projects very strong

Mavi Leather- heavy on leather frag but starts off citrusy weird combination but good for beginners , would give it wear in winters though and that too in weddings and all.

Debonair- didn't like it when I first sprayed it but now one of my favs in this set. This grew on me very beautiful drydown creamy amber and I love that

Overall it's a good set out of 5 I really liked pristine and debonair and even mavi leather but that's not versatile enough though.

This perfume is the reason why Ahmed al maghribi is considered S tier brand- Oud & roses

Monsoons are here so is this perfume took this out after 5 months, bought before the rate hikes so yes got a good deal + maceration is done🫡

Though i dont think any ME perfume lover needs introduction to this! This is peak middle eastern perfumery in budget + this is not a clone of anything

As its name suggests oud & roses yes thats the major part about it though its slightly lemony + roses in opening also it has some creamy sandalwood along with oud in drydown. There’s no way you cant like this perfume if you like rose based perfumes its like rose is prominent along with oud in background but not that skanky animalic oud. Very mass apealing profile

Performance- This projects crazy 4-6 sprays more than enough easily 2 hours + projection for the first hour its really strong, lasting you will easily get for more than a day on clothes

This isn't bad guys , long term use review- olga icebox

This isnt as bad as you guys think, almost finished 50% of my bottle and guys i am still in school in 12th standard maybe no one in this community is of my age. But you know how it is i get a very limited pocket money after which i bought seeing lots of reeels and 100’s of ads of olga , finally decided to buy one as i tried hawas perfume of my cousin once . Guys this smells very close to hawas ice i get it it may be more synthetic but its almost 1/3 of cost.

Opens up with fruity sweet notes and aquatic notes lasts for like 5-6 hours easily the biggest thing my friends in school and tution regularly ask me about this perfume.

So maybe this perfume may not be on the standards of this community but isnt bad by any means a normal person in day to day life will like it😄

Forget Lattafa atlas, when you get this ultra potent DNA under 1k - ababel Sargasso

This can be the strongest projecting fresh perfume I ever tried . Leave about lasting shit doesn't even stop projecting even after 4-5 hours. It will definitely make you nose blind but people around you will definitely notice!

This is a clone of orto parisi megamare and a good clone of that I got a chance to try that perfume once this is pretty close.

But mind me, this is a Polarising fragrance even the OG either you will love it or will hate it nothing in between!

Scent profile- this smells like you just got out from the ocean when you smell like ocean water, aquatic but with a lot of salt to it. Very potent ambroxan in it. I don't know

what did they use to create such projection or longevity

Use only 2-3 sprays don't spray it more than that! I am warning you😂 if you want to try a perfume that seriously lasts sub 1k you can definitely get it

Blue by ahmed is now performing beast mode for me!!

Last year I bought this perfume in winters but didn't use it much , took it out from the shelf just 4-5 days ago and trust me this is performing like a beast mode perfume now!

Went out yesterday even in this humid weather I was getting whiffs of it for easy 2 hours and when I came back home after 7-8 hours still it was so strong on my tshirt.

Scent profile- I haven't tried the OG BDC edt maybe it's a clone of that but as a stand alone perfume also I love it. Opening is citrusy tangy orange and bergamot which is bright and mostly people will like it out of the first spray.

Versatility - I generally used this in my office or casual outings during the day.

now I am getting very good lasting but I think if you are buying it now you will need some maceration in the new batches!

Got it almost for 1750₹ and at that price this is a no brainer freshie for daily use

Fruit bomb- Ajmal cyan oud review

Straight away saying either you will love it or you will hate it straight away nothing in between, this is a clone of erba pura by xerjoff. Earlier prices were a lil inflated but now you can get under 1500₹ from various discounters. This is a tropical fruit bomb seems like a complete basket of fruits specially peach and yes it doesn't have that coconut note. That's the reason I like it very juicy tropical fruits in a bottle, very potent I didn't like it first when it arrived but now after 2 weeks it has settled and pretty smooth. Can smell a lil synthetic though. I made 5 of my friends try it and 3 liked it very much so I guess generally people will like it.

Versatility - Don't use it in summer afternoon except that you can wear anywhere you want. Though I will prefer only to wear it in AC conditions

Is the Hype real? MYKONOS reflection

One of the most hyped frag of current time. Is it worth the hype? I have almost used 20 ML and sharing my personal opinion.

​

Guys this is no doubt one of the best LV symphony clones out there very balanced grapefruit , ginger its very bright and very uplifting. Much much better than khadlaj island dreams which smells like a toilet cleaner honestly.

​

Performance- This surprised me performed better than i thought a citrusy fresh scent would perform. Lasts around 6 hours in extreme summer. 3-4 ft projection for the first hour and after that you continuously get whiffs for another 40-50 mins before it turns into a skim scent and starts fading

​

Verdict- should you buy it now?

NO , wait for the official launch currently its selling for 2x more than it should actually. Its a definitely worthy buy if you get around 2500-2700 for 100 ML and around 1500 for 50 ml

Bought this after all the hype and it was.... (Le sel d issey)

Got my le sel d issey got delivered today trust me still cant pronounce the name😂.

It was so hyped in this sub and almost after searching for one designer in budget decided to get this. Bought it from whifff culture, the delivery and ordering experience was smooth

Now coming to review, this is super long lasting despite being an EDT version! Literally projected for minimum 2 hours today that too outdoors. Now the scent profile

Combination of aquatic notes , seaweed and salt. Smells like you have just finished your swim session at the beach, beautiful clean fragrance. And yes its not anywhere near to bois imperial idk why some people were comparing it with that!

Tell me a sub 2k bottle more beautiful than this- Riiffs prive platinum

Bought this recently after searching for silver mountain water clones watching several YT videos. This was the cheapest ME clone that i could find, and what a beautiful bottle if not perfume i can pay the same for this beautiful wine bottle too😂

I tried silver mountain water at a store and immediately liked its scent profile this is like about 75-80% close obviously cant match the OG’s depth but for the price its a banger, sour bright lemony opening can feel a bit synthetic too!

After 10-20 mins you start getting a little herbacious green notes, smells like watery citrusy on top of those green notes. Fresh, citrus, floral to sum it up!

One down point atomiser is very bad throws very little mist, its 5 sprays are equal to one spray of any other ME perfumes . So if you buy always overspray!

Average longevity 4-5 hours on skin, and 1 hour of projection

Got compliment from my crush becaue of this community 🥹

To every single person who recommended costa de amalfi in this sub , wish I could hug you guys ! Literally today I went out on my first official date with my crush and guess what? Your boy got a compliment as soon as she sat in the car🥹 she knows my love for fragrances and today finally she complimented I have a few niche and designers too but I wanted to go for something very simple and mass pleasing as the temperature is soaring over 44 degrees, I loved this perfume already and from now it has became my favourite as she sat in car she said "kya lagaya hai badi achi khushbu aarhi hai' so I asked her deliberately"kis type ki fragrance" she said "badi fresh si kisi lemon drink jaisi" and my day was made them and there!

This is one of the best and unique perfumes you can buy these summers. Kya kehte ho dosto backup ki backup bottle mngalu?😂

This deserves all the hype - Menworks 90's shave

Picked it up after watching fragrantix , ashish bhai’s video in which he was clearly saying uthaa lo ise i bought the 15 ml sample as already the 50 ml was out of stock.

Bhai this is literally so good the best thing is it doesnt have spices infact little amped up minty note to me this is so good and so mass appealing as mostly other barbershops are not as mass appealing. This feels like old spice aftershave without the spices and because of that minty note it gives that feeling of coolness which smells really good in current weather! Idk if its yet available or not but do try the 15ml Atleast this is something unique even if you have multiple barbershop frags this is more wearable .

Lasting is max 5 hours on the top 40-50 mins of moderate projection!

The Dent days it all- Naseem zephyr

This has to be one of the best attars for summers and the dent in my bottle says it all. Also note this is a 15 ML bottle bought it for around 860₹ from a discounter website.

This smells like freshly cut lime , specially if you have ever been to Uttarakhand there you get those big lemons , which are locally grown so this smells like that . Just freshly cut lime and some musk to it. You can also relate it to Mausami (sweet lemon) juice that you get on local juice shops😂 sorry thoda zyada relatable banke explain kar raha hu.

Lasting is very less though lasts around 2-3 hours only in this summer season. But i always carry it in my bag.

8/10 for me those 2 marks just for the lasting🥲otherwise its a perfect already ordered 1 more bottle of zephyr

My Experience with Whiff culture

Recently I wanted to buy cullinan diamond iris from ibraq but didn't wanna go for a full bottles as I knew I won't be able to use 150 ML in years. Came across whiff culture after seeing multiple posts on reddit about them, checked there website and came to knew that they sell partials also but almost every partial was sold out on website. I contacted them on whatsapp to know if they by any chance have a partial bottle as I didn't want a decant, doesn't give me that feel of owning a perfume (just a personal preference) got a reply after 20 mins that how much you need I said 40-50 ml will be perfect they said we will check and let you know got a message from them after 1 hour that it's available and price was also very reasonable.

Today my bottle got delivered in perfect condition but more importantly they packed the bottle so well. Nowadays hardly any seller uses thermocol but if you know a little thermocol is the best thing to pack perfumes as it's a good heat insulator that helps the perfume bottle to not heat much during the transit which can save the perfume molecules from damage.even the bottle was sealed with some tape wrapped around the atomiser which prevents it from leaking

All these things might sound very small but it's the details that matters I almost have bought from many websites but hardly anyone focuses on packaging like this. Except a few.

Also the delivery was good they used delhivery service , I ordered the perfume at evening and the next morning I got a photo from them in which my parcel was packed and the bottle photo which is again something very impressive and my tracking I'd along with it. Parcel got delivered within 3 days!

Bought these on recco of Fragrantix- fusion by rizwan

Bought these 4 from the house of fusion by rizwan on recommendation of fragrantix (youtuber) and i must say i am amazed by the quality of rizwan , can’t believe i bagged 4 perfumes just for 1900₹ (they have buy 2 get 2 offer). I dont care if you people hate or like fragrantix but man recommended me some bangers from this brand.

Yes the bottles feel cheap, they might feel basic which the brand must improve cause the juice inside doesnt deserve these bottes.

Suryaputra- My fav out of all i dont know what it clones neither have i tried og . But as a perfume opens up with orange blossom and some citruses and literally changes into a creamy slightly sweet fragrance. I dont know what gives it that creamy touch but its so addictive

Vintage library- smells like someone sprayed opening of givenchy gentleman prive on my sandalwood attar😂 due to that powdery iris on top of sandal.

Kashmir musk- this is unisex imo this is okayish i mean i will like it more if any female uses this. Generally i dont like such fruity DNA and candy type perfumes . Might gift it to some female friend

Old salon returns-proper aftershave more of a gillete aftershave kind of smell. Imo the best barbershop you can get in 500₹ lasts like only 3-4 hours but smells good overall.

u/humapkehai — 3 months ago

First I just want to adore the bottle how beautifully it's made looks like a champagne bottle. Got this for like 1600₹ well I can pay that much just for the bottle leave the juice xd

This is a clone of dior sauvage elixir , not very close but I like it more than Asad it's more appealing than that to me it's more aromatic kinda! Starts with peppery spicy opening but I can feel that tobacco note which is very prominent after 20 min that patchouli accords start coming and blended very well with depth of tonka . Leathery base with vanilla.

Performs well haven't used much yet cause of the weather but easily 5-6 sprays are enough for parties or any occasion. Just remember strictly wear it only in AC surroundings in summers
