Just got a decant of Zaharoff’s Signature Royale X. This is fresh, clean, musk with just a hint of animalics that give it dimension.
Unique but approachable and mass appealing.


Thanks for putting this on the radar. I've been wanting to try something from Zaharoff.
I'll add this to my decants list.

Edit - assuming I can even find a decant

I think I copped Nautica Voyage from JC Penny's...it has a fresh out the shower smell, wasn't that expensive either

the Versace Blue Jean's is on Walmart.com, again not expensive but a great smell for winter time

but yeah most of my colognes are from Macy's

Voyage is 20 bucks right now. I might blind buy it breh. Good looks. Love fresh smells.

Dude behind Portrait of a Lady (K. Samuels fave rose scent) and Musc Ravageur (my first fave niche)



How'd he get in the game?

My grandfather started the perfumery department at Dior
My mother was a perfumer.

LOL. No started from the bottom fake story at all.

Hey brehs.

Any thing similar to Tom ford Vanilla scents?

I haven't put my nose on Vanille Fatale or the new one Vanilla Sex, but Tobacco Vanille has a few clones around/and "inspired by"
  • Al Haramain Amber Oud Tobacco Edition - clone
  • Spicebomb Extreme - same idea, just done differently
DUA's Mobster - has the exact same notes as TV, and smells totally different.

Oakcha, Dossier, Alexandria, Perfume Parlour - they all have a version of Tobacco Vanille.

I've been curious about this line but they have so many I don't know where to start. Looking for something along the lines of Spring.

I been lurking this thread. I appreciate you guys knowledge. I've always kept a good collection but didn't know anything about notes and how to differentiate between the ingredients. It's really helped me be able to explain what I like.

I keep a bottle of Creed Aventus. I like the LV L'immensite and Ombre Leather.

I'm gonna try out some dupes for Silver Mountain Water, L'immensite, and Tuscan Leather. If they're good then I'll hook my son up.

Salute to y'all

I got their Ghost in the Shell, Fat Electrician, and something else. GITS smells like a metallic orange. Fat electrician smells like it has a ganja note. I can maybe see the appeal of FE, but that GITS is stomach turning (for me).

Best sample purchase ever, because I was gonna blind buy GITS. Saved me at least 150 bucks. Ain't no way in hell....

The House definitely leans towards the artistic and indie and niche style of fragrances.
