Middle easterns: Buy this year and use next year

I have bought a few middle eastern fragrances which are hyped and every one is blind bought. To be very honest max fragrances in their initial impression are not good. I am putting all these to settle down and giving time to macerate.

Bombay shaving companys ~ TOXIC fruit (take it if u r getting it for free )

TOXIC FRUIT ~ BOMBAY SHAVING COMPANY
I’ve seen quite a few reels about this fragrance, and honestly, it’s a 10/10 disappointment. Not that I expected much, but still.

It smells like some kind of powder, with a noticeable blackcurrant scent as well.
The longevity is around 2 hours max — and that’s the absolute maximum I could get out of it.
I’ve purchased it from
Blinkit for 450 somth

One word to describe this fragrance: BAD

I switched from Lattafa, Afnan and Rasasi to EM5 and Wild Stone to save money—and I’m disappointed

I usually enjoy fragrances from brands like Lattafa, Afnan and Rasasi. Recently, I decided to try some more affordable Indian perfume brands, particularly EM5 and Wild Stone, because I wanted inexpensive daily-wear fragrances for days when I’m staying at home or not going anywhere special.

I tried options such as EM5 Ocean Breeze, Imagination and Inglorious Ginger, along with Wild Stone fragrances like Edge and Hydra.

Honestly, I’ve been disappointed with my experience so far.

I understand that perfumes costing ₹500–₹1,000 cannot necessarily deliver the same performance, complexity, or refinement as Middle Eastern fragrances that cost considerably more. I wasn't expecting miracles at this price point.

But my main complaint isn't longevity or projection. It's the smell itself.

Several of these fragrances came across as extremely synthetic, with a harsh, chemical-like, alcohol-heavy impression that I personally found unpleasant. For me, the overall blending just didn't feel smooth or well-rounded.

What surprised me is that I haven't experienced this same degree of harshness with the Lattafa, Afnan and Rasasi fragrances I've used. Even though those brands also offer affordable perfumes, many of my experiences with them have been much more satisfying.

This is what frustrates me about the Indian perfume market. There are plenty of customers in India who are interested in fragrances, and not everyone wants to spend ₹2,000–₹4,000 on a bottle. There's clearly an opportunity to build Indian perfume brands that offer distinctive scent profiles, smoother blending and a more enjoyable fragrance experience at an affordable price.

I'm not expecting every Indian brand to compete directly with Middle Eastern brands in performance or ingredient costs. I simply want a fragrance that smells pleasant, feels well-blended and doesn't give me that harsh synthetic impression.

Why does it feel so difficult to find an Indian perfume brand in this price range that gets the overall fragrance quality right?

Maybe I haven't discovered the right Indian brands yet, so I'm open to recommendations.

Have you found any Indian perfumes in the ₹500–₹1,000 range that smell smooth, distinctive and genuinely good? I'm particularly interested in fresh, citrus, aquatic and clean fragrances suitable for everyday wear.

I'd love to hear about your experiences, including brands that you think genuinely deserve more attention.

Ladies, help me out!

A female friend of mine works in the aviation industry. Last time, I gifted her Coffee Elixir, and she absolutely loved it! Now she’s asking me for another perfume. What would you guys suggest? 👀

Which one would be great for college student?

Everyone recommends these four perfumes, especially Patel Neck, which makes me wonder if it's just hype from PR marketing. Regardless, can someone tell me which one is best for college and genuinely appealing to others?

Hawas Ice Freeze Review 🥶

Got my hands on the new hawas (ice) flanker. Ice FREEZE!

Let’s jump straight into the review.

The opening is really citrusy and fresh nothing very freeze-about-it at all tbh. It does smell familiar I’m still about able to pinpoint it yet.

If you’re expecting it to smell anything close to the original hawas ice let me break the news for you it doesn’t! It feels like a hybrid of Dior Homme cologne and Chanel Allure Homme Sport and hints of Prada L’Homme (blue one).

Dry down is still pretty fresh aquatic af but with hints of wood and florals.

This scent profile is very mass-pleasing, and if you’re into fresh aquatic, orangish-lemon, woody scent profiles you’ll enjoy it and it is a safe blind buy.

Let’s give it a rating.

Smell: 8.5/10

Projection: 7/10

Longevity: 6/10 (based on the profile, will test it soon and update it here)

Overall: 7.1/10
