Rarely do cool bottles actually smell good- HIRA Dive Club

very rarely do cool looking bottles actualy have good juice inside, this was one of those rare times bought this one just bcoz of its cool bottle and who doesnt wanna try new frags, and trust me if anyone specially office goers are reading this review,

this is a solid safe purchase, my first impression was honestly okay just another synthetic but once it settled on skin it clicked afterall its a cheapie super fresh and spicy blast in opening which dries down into that classy woody musky vibe almost perfect for daily office wear, perfomance is moderate around an hour of decent projection but lasts noticably longer on clothes. easily pushing 5 6 hours i wouldnt say it offers heavy room filling projection will update you guys if it gets better after some time but it definately doesnt smell cheap

DISCUSSION - The crazy rate at which most Indian fragrance reviewers have sold their content for money from brands and don't even tag their videos as advertisements anymore.

So, i've been following the indian frag space on yt for a year now
and 80% of the content seems to be by people who barely know their notes, or are blatantly promoting stupid, shitty products.
I won't take names, because theres too many for me to list haha, but everyone knows man.
And i quit watching american and european reviewers for the same reasons, except they start their own brands and promote clones like crazy instead.
I stick to watching Chetan bhai from sentimental, and ppl say even he's been bought off by menworks but i dont think so.
what are your thoughts??

Why do these 3 perfumes smell the same?

I’m new to fragrances and got decants of Afnan Modest Une, Afnan Supremacy Collector’s Edition, and Ahmed Al Maghribi Blue. They arrived today, but all three smell about 80% similar to me. Is this just because I’m new, or do they actually share a similar DNA? Also, should I let them rest for a couple of weeks before judging them?

Creed Aventus Cologne | My second Niche Buying Experience

My Creed Aventus OG finished a few months back, after using it for 2 years and the last 20-30ml the performance went down drastically.

So I decided to get a new one with the same DNA but a fresher version of Creed Aventus OG which is the Cologne.( Difference is- Cologne top note is manderin orange and ginger as compared to OG's blackcurrent)

On skin it stays 4 hours and clothes approx 8hours yet to test it again to confirm.

Buying experience - I checked the creed website for authorised dealers in Delhi.. there were 2

  1. Scentido in Saket Select City Walk Mall

  2. Creed Store in The Chanakya Mall

I went to Scentido store in Saket but they did not have stock , then I went to Creed Store in Chanakya mall they had good amount of stock..

I wished to try Creed Vetiver but they did not have that..

I tried Creed Absolute / Creed Viking my friends liked it but I did not as they are too strong for me

I went Creed Aventus Cologne.

With the bottle I got 3 vials of the tester of Silver mountain water/green irish tweed/delphinus

They store don't offer any discounts so bought on full MRP 36750

Is Arabiyat Prestige launching a Marwa Extrait?

I just came across a video from a fragrance influencer claiming that Arabiyat Prestige is about to launch a Marwa Extrait version.

Also, what are your thoughts ? I'm curious whether an Extrait version would actually be an upgrade and are you excited.

My first designer fragrance.

Just received a tester of Davidoff Cool Water for 1975/-
Can’t say if it’s an excellent deal but I just wanted to own one for sometime. It’s not something which I’m gonna use a lot but it definitely has a very fresh scent profile, maybe I’ll just keep it for gym as it doesn’t last more than 2 hours anyways.

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..

How do y'all deal with perfume stains on clothes?

This might get deleted, but I wanted to know how you lot deal with perfume stains on clothes?

I have used the hawas lineup and a couple others on clothes. I observed that it ends up staining the cloth. Is there a way to avoid this?

Also, are there any perfumes that don't do that?

Is it real or fake? Bought it from myntra

I bought CK one from Myntra. It came without a seal and does not have any smell..the box was closed with a cello tape. I possibly cannot find any deviation from the original/real bottle, if it is present. Is it fake? How to know? What to do next as there is no return option available. The seller is flashtech retail.
