CDN Overdose;

Brought from armaf’s tik tok shop with a nice £13 voucher.

Just sprayed a little bit on my hand, and you know what it smells pretty good.

It’s definitely in the Afnan’s collectors edition wheelhouse.

Which is doing the whole aventus absolu spin.

It’s nice, smells well blended, pineapple, bergmont opening

Getting the patchouli too, you know it kinda reminds me of explorer extreme.

Now if it projects and has better longevity then extreme then we are in for a treat.

Has anyone gotten fakes from Fragrantvilla on ebay?

I purchased a hawas black from there and received a fake. I own hawas Kobra, so I already know how beast mode the hawas line tends to be... what I received smells like burnt plastic and lemon water- instantly fades. I did some digging and it seems that they rarely (never, actually) reply to any complaints. I have read comments of people returning items for x or y reason and the return didn't meet their guidelines.

They have a 99.7% rating on Ebay somehow, so I have to wait 7 days to leave feedback because Ebay deems them trustworthy. I went through the process of reporting the listing and their AI bot took down their listing.

My question is, how does an Ebay store keep such a high rating selling fakes? Are they somehow mixing real and fake fragrances and able to relist their items by proving they have authentic stock?

How do you organize?

Just saw a post about a guy that had about 400 fragrances. I’m at about 70. How does everyone organize your scents? By DNA, House, type or scent. Mine right now is by House but like blue fragrances are really my thing. Have about 5 from different houses so have them grouped together. Have my vacation scents grouped and my date night scents grouped. But then. Have all Prada L’Homme together and Myslf line together etc. just see how the big dawgs have decided fits their collections the best. (Also if I sort by house / line then I feel like I need to collect more from the line that I won’t wear very often.) example have Gucci Essence but will not buy another so put it next to Prada Carbon vs buying 3 of each or being disorganized.
