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.
Beside like spicebomb and those tom ford(not private blend line) scents which cost between $90-110. Designers did not get to that cost back then(im sure there more, but majority were not).

The 2 most worn scents I had this year was Dubai indigo and Mancera instant crush. Most compliments too
The official site and Dillards got the Instant crush 4 oz for $195 but Walmart got it for like $91. Is Walmart legit for fragrances? :dwillhuh:

And y’all paid $600 for that Dubai Indigo? :dwillhuh:

Or got it from Jomas? :jbhmm:
Initio Side Effect...the Thot collector
Anybody else vouch for this? :mjgrin:

One thing I love about the last 20 or so pages of this thread is the fact that many of us embrace trying out obscure juices and having unique collections instead of posting the same ol tired fragrances that the internet has discussed to death 10 years ago. :ehh:.

I for one refuse to smell like other nikkas if i'm in public, especially if there's a risk I could remind a woman of her dad, brother or ex . :hubie: :dame:

Have you tried the original Guerlain Homme EDP? It used to be one of my favorites and would get me so many complements :whew: . That mix of lime and rum :wow:

but sadly lost that bottle when I forgot my collection in a storage.

I wore this 2 days back to back just to make sure I wasn't wrong about this.

This is a carrot and tea laundry smell. The problem is this mad fukking lite. This starts disappearing off skin as soon as you spary it. It stays on clothes a lil longer. This shyt got way too many notes listed and really I just get the carrot and tea. The rest I don't get. It has that fesh washed clothes smell but without any soapy smell.

This just mad weak. :francis:

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.

Closest thing I have to it is Fragrance World Star Man Nebula. Its on point IMO.
It's $17 at amazon. For some reason amazon links don't show in here.

SOTD - Emperor Cologne Extreme by Parfum Vintage

Smells like Versace Dreamer mixed with Aventus. Instead of Pineapple you get a makeupy Iris smell. Iris isn't listed in this but that's what it smell like to me.

*Wore this today. This SUPER sweet. More chocolate powder than anything else. Then vanilla and some Iris. It's crazy that this is named Iris when this is mostly sugary powdery chocolate.

Invictus Onyx - Not even worth going in to detail about this one. Just alright. Nothing special going on here. Sea notes + grapefruit in the open. Some ambergris in there somewhere. Fresh shower gel type ish going on. Other iterations of Invictus either smell exactly the same and would be reached for over this.
