This hobby is addictive

So i bought 8ml of sce for 500 and idk I fell for the hype that 2 sprays give nice projection and lasting whole night day from the reviewers. Now i really regret getting it.

People said it's very potent and room filler, please tell me if it really is cause I was going for mohamad al qamar Aventus absolute then bought 8ml afnan please tell if afnan really that beast mode

So, i received this around 50 days ago,

(kept in cold dark place for 50 days and more)

And what can I say it's genuinely bad I can only smell vanila and ginger it's very faded also start has alcoholic blast like bellavita.

When i received it this was very bad smell like pan masala but now it smells somewhat of vanila and ginger which can only be Smell if you sniff the skin for 10minutes straight.

Performance : only been able to give one wearing and it project decent for 20 minutes and 2 hour longevity and then faded.

I don't know if this is bad batch but recently alot of people have claimed menworks perfumes to be inconsistent in new batches.

And I also read a review of person who order after me but he received the older batch and he claimed he can smell grapefruit citrus and alot more.

Now should I email this to menworks or everyone has same experience as I do.

Is it a batch problem that they will solve or should just let it go?

I have posted this in one more community so don't be shocked or assume it is paid pr this is my genuine review.

Between this which is the best barbershop Fregrence. Or any other scent for monsoon Also any other brand on budget.

I also had opinion on Menworks Istanbul – Hacivat Clone from scientimental youtube.

Menworks Istanbul a clone of Nishane Hacivat, but honestly, I don’t think it’s a 1:1 clone. There is definitely some Hacivat DNA, especially the fruity and woody direction, but the overall scent is noticeably different.

Hacivat feels more refined, green, mossy and smooth, while Istanbul has its own character. This is like generic dna made little bit expensive (in my opinion).

Performance I don't know but feels light to me

Should I buy it, is it original?

The bottle looks very premium, with a great wide atomizer (which comes separately in the box). The bottle itself comes with a screw-on cap.

Fragrance:

I'd rate it a solid 7/10. It could've been a 9 or 10 if it lasted longer.

Opens fresh, citrusy, and just slightly green.

Quickly dries down to a floral blend (jasmine, lily, violet) with just the right amount of powdery notes.

Settles into a woody amber base during its final hours.

Performance:

The sillage is quite low and not very noticeable after the first hour. While it lingers on clothes for 24+ hours, the performance on skin is quite weak. It projects well for the first 30-45 minutes but fades quickly.

However, as an indoor or air-conditioned environment fragrance, it performs well for its price.

Versatility:

CK One works as a great summer daily fragrance. It's perfect for office wear and also makes a good gift.

Overall:

This is one of the premium, classic fresh, floral, and slightly powdery fragrances. You can't go wrong buying it, especially considering its timeless appeal.

That said, better sillage and performance would've elevated it even further. These are my two cents on this classic OG fragrance.

I recieved menworks Ingenious today it smells incredibly bad like i smelled it and hated it so much I almost throw up.

I don't even think maturation will do anything.

It smelled like pan masala or ladies perfume with annoying sweetness of low quality.

But i only have option to do maturation so I will update but I don't see it getting anywhere
