Al Haramain Amber Oud Gold Edition Eau de Parfum 120ml
at 2024-05-16A sweet scent that is quite good for its price, generally Al Haramain has good fragrances for 30-50 Euros. Is it a clone of Erba Pura? For someone who has smelled Xerjoff in the air, yes, the profile is close, so it can easily pass as a clone. Now, if you are a owner or have tried the genuine one from a sample, you will notice huge differences, especially up close, in terms of separation, evolution, and dry down. In Xerjoff, the notes hit an incredible realism. As a replacement and to not ruin your genuine fragrance, it doesn't do it at all. As an independent fragrance that reminds you of Pura in the air, it is an impeccable choice. To be honest, it is much superior to the Erba Pura types that I have tried.

Epic... better than Erba Pura, smoother, easily distinguish notes and fruits, after half an hour it brings out cinnamon and pepper which makes it less feminine. Very strong, easily 8 hours with huge projection in the first 2. Every moment, every hour that passes, this one screams quality.

If this has to do with Dior, I must have a huge issue with my sense of smell. In the search to find an affordable fragrance that matches what we like but we can't justify the cost, many times we convince ourselves that we found the perfect clone, and yes there are some that come incredibly close even 80% to a fragrance. However, this is not one of them. Nevertheless, for 20 euros as an independent fragrance, it's just okay.

Hugo Boss The Scent Elixir Intense Eau de Parfum 100ml
at 2024-04-30They gave me a sample and I can say that even though I don't like these types of profiles in fragrances, I would easily recommend this one. In the opening, it brought something like Erba Pura, very sweet and fruity, wonderful... after 1-2 hours, intense patchouli that I love, but it also had intense sweetness and spices... that's where it threw me off, if it had less sweetness, I would have liked it more. Of course, tastes differ. In terms of projection and longevity, it's huge, this one screams from afar. It's fine.

Hermes, so it would definitely be something with realistic notes, something high-quality.
It is a summery citrusy peppery scent, but not like the classic cheerful summer scents, no, this one is warm and smoky with a hint of oriental tea.
Simply beautiful, fully masculine.
It is a fragrance with a short duration for specific use, so that you can wear something else during the day... Like, you wear it in the morning, have coffee, and in 3-4 hours max, you can wear something else. Projection is also very minimal, it's a fragrance for you and the person next to you to discover. That's how elegant fragrances are, they don't seek projection.- Value for money

As everyone says, the opening of the classic quality Montale Mancera is full synthetic and needs time to settle down, an aroma for those who want to attract attention and not for those who wear it for themselves, it is unacceptable close to the skin but works well in the air.
The longevity and projection reminds of a room deodorizer, if you make the mistake and spray it in a closed space more than 2-3 times then you will suffocate people.
People who have several fragrances and wear a different one in the morning, another in the afternoon or evening, just forget about it, this one will not come off you even after a shower.
The dry down after 2 hours is something nice but personally I find it pointless, I don't want to put on a fragrance and wait, nor do I want a fragrance to last more than 4-6 hours and trap me. If it falls on clothes? then it will simply smell the next day. Something that would be acceptable if the profile was fresh or blue, however this one is a nighttime winter fragrance and surely no one would want to smell like that at work in the morning or at a gym or afternoon coffee.- Scent duration
