I have seen a few videos on invictus victory elixir by him where he mentions it has fruitiness in it but clearly it's a smokey warm spicy vanilla amber fragrance. Even there's no official mention of any fruity note. In his recent video he smells pineapple in it.

Do you guys smell any fruit? Coz it is way different from OG invictus or kind of opposite. It's a warm mature fragrance and I use it in summer AC environment bcoz I just love it. Using this since 3 years never caught a fruity note.

What do u guys think?

First time buying arab perfume, pls help me which one to choose

In the last post I mentioned how Dee has a very irritating style of content. So I wanted to discuss SmellGoodWithKeshav.

Is he a sellout for paid promotions and for heavily marketed products? Probably yes.

Would I take his perfume suggestions with a grain of salt? Yes.

Do I enjoy his content? Also yes.

Spontaneous, easy to consume content, whether you like his choice of perfumes or not. Keshav seems to be at the very opposite end of the spectrum in fragrance content creation when compared to Dee. Glazes middle eastern, never saw niche perfumes with him and enjoys designer perfumes here and there. Seems very relatable for any average fraghead and how one would approach perfumes considering the budget constraints. Not everyone would get Nishane or Amouage every week.

Let me know if you guys dig his content or nah..

I recently bought

Titan Raw 20ml
CDN Intense Men

I can't decide between,

Afnan Asad
CDN Sillage
Afnan Men supremacy
Davidoff Ice Water
9PM

I can just blind buy so asking this here, and where to buy I bought CDN from myntra last time

So my friend (M 27) is very fond of perfumes and I know notting about it. So on his bday I want to gift him a perfume. This is his collection in the picture.

Budget is around 8-10k and I’m thinking of 100ml. And the perfume should be available on Myntra/Ajio as I have to get delivered in 3 days. Please help.

I actually got lucky with Myntra's MynCash Spin & Win and won around ₹77. I used that discount to buy this perfume. After that, though, I couldn't spin the wheel anymore I have no idea why. 😂 Maybe Myntra saw me winning and decided that was enough luck for one person. Anyways, back to the perfume.

This perfume is inspired by Tom Ford Ombre Leather, at least that's what I've heard. I can definitely pick up some leathery vibes. In the opening, I get a mix of tobacco and floral notes. The opening is nice, but the real magic happens in the dry down. That's when the leather starts coming through much more, and honestly, it smells really good.

As for performance, I get around 5–6 hours on clothes pretty easily, which is decent for the price. The best part? I actually got a compliment while wearing it. Even my sister liked it and told me it smelled really nice. Overall, I think it's a solid buy, especially if you want to try this kind of fragrance profile without spending a lot.

So i recently visited one of the Ajmal stores in my city and tried this Cyan oud, which was out of stock in most of the Ajmal kiosks in the city.

I really don't understand the hype regarding this - or perfume is selective of course.

It opens with a fresh fruity note and then suddenly changes into a harsh grape, peachy combo which had me headache. Felt too overrated and after some time the smell literally sucked.

Maybe it's for those who prefer a strong smell but in a fresh category such strong fruit notes are out of the blue.

Projection and longevity is good - 2 sprays almost stayed 7 hours in my hand.

What's your opinion regarding this

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.

​Hey guys, just wanted to drop a quick review of Engage Brazilian Maracuja Cognac EDP because I am impressed with this stuff lately. For a budget bottle, it genuinely punches way above its weight class.

​Here is the honest breakdown:

​How it Smells

The opening is this super juicy, tropical burst of passion fruit. It is bright and fresh, but then the dry down hits and that kinda mature. A warm, boozy cognac note creeps in with a smooth amber base. It ends up smelling dark, sophisticated, and way more expensive than it actually is. It kinda gives off those high-end niche vibes but is totally wearable for every day. But may be synthetic for initial few Seconds

​Projection and Longevity

​Longevity: I am easily getting 6 hours on clothes. I can still catch strong whiffs of it at the end of a long day.

Projection: It pushes out really well for the first 1 to 2 hours. It creates a nice little scent bubble around you but lacks scent trial

​Final Thoughts: I would rate 7.5/10

It is super versatile too. Even though it has that boozy cognac vibe, the fresh passion fruit makes it totally fine for day wear, casual hangouts, or nights out.

​If you love fruity-boozy scents and want decent longevity on a budget, do not sleep on this one.

​Anyone else tried this yet? How is the performance for you?

Please check it guys

I recently received Jo Malone Wood Sage and Sea Salt and I LOVE the smell but it doesn’t even last 30mins on me or my clothes until I spray it 10-15 times. On the contrary it lasts 6+ hours beautifully on my boyfriend. And what’s sad is while buying it the store associate already advised me against buying this as he said it it wont last on me but on people like my bf. But I was so much in love this particular scent that I just ignored it and got this one (my other choice my Poppy and Barley). I absolutely love the fragrance but it doesn’t last on me at all or even on my clothes so please suggest me some tips to make it last longer😭. Ty guys

This Dee account keeps popping up on my feed and honestly I find her so irritating.

I once heard somewhere, maybe in a perfume guru video, hobby of perfumes/fragrances should never come with snobbery. She does exactly that, keeps putting down opinions which don't align with her and glazing ultra expensive perfumes.

Don't even get me started on her staged "look what my family is wearing to our day out plan" videos. So fake, so pretentious.

Hey guys,
I’m looking to buy my first proper perfume and could use some recommendations.
Budget: ₹2,000–2,500 (can stretch a tiny bit if it’s really worth it)
What I’m looking for:
Good longevity (6–8+ hours if possible)
Projects well and gets compliments
Fresh, versatile scent for everyday use
Mainly for college and the gym
I found a CK fragrance for around ₹2k, but the seller is completely new and has zero reviews. Would you risk buying it, or is it better to avoid? Any trusted websites or sellers you’d recommend instead?
Also, if you had ₹2–2.5k to spend, which perfume would you buy and why?
