Thanks

Woah ! You must be having a good heart to giveaway one of the most iconic fragrances for men I picked it up from DXB duty-free last year. Fragrance is nice but I love Paco Rabanne 1 Million Prive more.

I don't want to spend tens of thousands on perfumes, and I am not exactly a connoisseur, so as long as I smell good, I am not bothered whether the clone is a perfect one or not, but in general I have found them to be good.

Are there any good recommendations on where to buy perfume clones online?

The Hyderabad store that I have mentioned has online presence:
https://alharamainperfumes.in/

They even have a Youtube channel where they discuss their products and are very upfront about what they offer and what to expect. https://youtube.com/@alharamainperfumeshyderaba353

I was looking for non-spray-type natural deodorants and came across Caveman Naturals Deo. Not getting into their certified safe claim, etc which needs to be evaluated by someone qualified. What I want to talk about is the performance. Have been using it for a week and not experiencing any BO throughout the day. And the Bangalore weather has been unusually warm and humid the past few days. I am thoroughly impressed.

Here is the link to the product: Caveman Naturals Deo

PS: I have no association with the brand.

Some perfume collections at home are currently in use. While my wife prefers Chanel N5, the rest of the collection is mine. Creed Aventus is a sample bottle. Personally, I really like Chanel Bleu the most. Out of all the perfumes, Nautica is the most affordable but surprisingly has a pleasant scent. I am considering adding Dior Sauvage to the collection soon.

Is that Rasasi Dareej I see to the right? If so, what is your take on it.

Very nice, sweet and long lasting fragrance. Perfect for a party or an evening out. You can smell it on yourself even the next morning.

I have started getting into designer fragrances recently and this is my current collection.



I have always liked smelling good but earlier I was mostly into deodorants. Axe and Fogg were my go to choices. I would pick up EDT/EDP from here and there if I liked something. Jovan Musk has been favourite for a long time. Hugo Just Different was my first designer/expensive fragrance. I tried it once at Shoppers Stop and liked it.

Some time ago I saw a pic posted by a colleague of his fragrance collection - I noted down the names of them and tested some of them at various outlets. While searching online about perfumes I came across a Reddit sub called DesiFragranceAddicts. From there I came to know a lot of fragrances and about the WhatsApp sellers who sell authentic designer fragrances at a great price. And I have now started building a small collection.

Jovan Musk - My all time favourite. I am on my 3rd or 4th bottle now. Have also tried Jovan Black Musk, but I like the original more.
Hugo Just Different - Spicy and intense. It's different really.
Davidoff Cool Water - I am not very fond of its aquatic intense smell. Might not get another after finishing this one.
CK One - New favourite. Picked it up at London duty free. 200ml for £30. Absolute steal. Really like the fresh citrusy smell of it.
Skinn Verge - My favourite from the Skinn line. I got a discovery set of Skinn and have liked Verge, Amalfi Bleu and Country Road. Similar fragrances. Got a 20ml bottle for travel.
Ascot Leather - Inhouse brand of Westside. Has an intense leathery spicy fragrance.

Have ordered Bvlgari Man Wood Essence, waiting for delivery. Have also got a bunch of testers and samples.




Bvlgari Aqva - Very similar to Cool Water, just more intense. Not getting full bottle.
Bleu De Chanel - Have liked it so far, may get a full bottle.
ADG - Kind of OK, need to try it more.
ADG Profondo - Hated it. Smells like rotten flowers to my nose.
ADG Absolu - Liked it, need to decide whether to get a full bottle.
Sauvage Parfum, EDP and Elixir - need to try more.

Others on wish list

Bvlgari Man in Black
Tom Ford Ombre Leather
Tom Ford Oud Wood
YSL Y
JPG Le Male

I still like deos as well. Killer Marine is my current favourite. Also like the Skinn Escapade Forest Rougue which is a nice spicy deo. For talcum powders I prefer Z talc and Nivea Musk talc.

Jovan Musk, have tried others but none can come close to it.

Lately have tried Park Avenue Voyage Woods, KS Urge.

I read rave reviews about Heavenduft Coastal India and wanted to know what all the fuss was about. I ordered their discovery pack which included Coastal India, Chief, Brim and Azure. I was quite impressed with the Coastal India and Chief so I got 50ml bottles of both.

Coastal India is similar to Hawas in many ways, sweet bubblegummy and generally a crowd pleaser. Chief has a ripe pineapple opening note. What struck me most was the concentration of oil in these perfumes. These are good perfumes on their own, but they can also be layered, I have layered Coastal India with Afnan 9 PM and received few compliments. Brim is more of a unisex perfume, more suited to the fairer sex, while Azure was nothing special.

Impressed by this combination, I ordered their other discovery set, which includes Amor Psyche, Sabah, Pious and Tonca Tobacco. I'm not a fan of tobacco-based perfumes, so I can't comment on Tonca Tobacco. Sabah and Pious have pleasant openings and somehow we can relate to the story the brand is trying to tell with these two. Amor Psyche kicks in sharply and may not be for everyone. I have a compliant though dry down, they all smell similar, well maybe except Tonca Tobacco.

All in all, I am very impressed with the quality of these perfumes for the price that they cost.
