Just not a fan of Dior Homme (whatever year). The profile and scent DNA does nothing for me. I think the praise comes from the scarcity of certain versions. Had it and felt like

This smells a lot like Xerjoff- Alexandria II but a bit more smoother with a touch of freshness. Really great smelling and perfect for fall winter.
That's high praise. I like Alexandria II a lot.

Exactly. I've heard em use excuses like "offensive" nah I want my shyt booming off of two sprays like they used to 12-15 years ago. It's clearly become a hustle by big fragrance houses to water down and expect you to crawl back after the bottle runs out. Well now we can just cop clones that may not be spot on but they project and perform better.
Where y’all be getting these clones from? :jbhmm:

And by clones you mean actual knockoff cologne spray bottles or body oils? :jbhmm:

SOTD - Amouage Royal Tobacco

Gotta start the year off right wit that good juice. Picked up on the incense right away, but surprisingly enough the thing that really stuck out to me the 1st 15-20 mins was this tart/fruity kind of smell---Im guessing it's the plum like Prunol note. The tobacco kicks in pretty quickly of course---and it's a lil diff than the usual tobacco I come across. A lil more smoother & fruiter in sum aspects.

Low-key this kind of reminds me of a way more complex version of the Dua Dude that I have. It also has its own version of everything & the kitchen sink in it. It has incense, tobacco, cardamom & raspberry (+ other fruit) notes that pop out too.

It bothers me that you have this and I can't get it.

I've heard so much about it, and it's discontinued, and if I go blind buy this for a ridiculous price online...I'm pretty sure I will hate it.

Because that's always how it goes, right?
Discontinued. Hype. Overpay. Disappointment.

:unimpressed:

Whatever. I'm sure it's awesome. I just missed the boat.

Its an awesome scent, but not worth it at all to get for those outrageous prices. Bought my bottle in 2014 when it was $87. Its a designer scent all the way through. I wouldnt be tripping about it. Hopefully mugler re release it again or create another boozy amen scent that is similar.

Speaking on $87, that was considered high as hell for a designer scent 10 years again. Now that is cheap :francis:
I think you're right. I don't remember prices but I do remember buying Le Male as a gift for my brother in the mid 2000s and I think it was pricey but I don't think it cost like $200 or anything.
