Fragrance thread

It's just a flanker, most popular retail fragrances have flankers. For the most part, flankers take the DNA of the original fragrance and make subtle changes. In some cases, it's a completely different scent, but most retain the DNA. A lot of the times, they take the DNA and make it fit certain occasions, one might be for warm weather, the next flanker for winter, etc

I think all of the Bleu De Chanel flankers are:

EDT
EDP
Parfum
The newest one is L'Exclusif, from what i'm seeing it's more of a cold weather fragrances,
Might try it

 
Managed to cop this Hermes Caleche gift set for £30... I noticed no one bided on it, so DM'd the seller and made them an offer...

The box is abit battered and its missing a Hermes slip/cover that goes over the fragrances but its all about the perfume and they still smell great, have their top notes and have no signs of oxidisation... For £30 its a steal...

One of my dukes favourite perfumes so I'll be giving it to her...

Also wanted to try a vintage version of Aramis, so managed get an unboxed 15ml miniature for £10...

Not tried it yet but smells pretty damn good from the bottle... Smells so thick and rich that 15ml will prolly go along way...

edit: my bad pic is huge...

Man, im so disappointed with Hacivat. This is my first dud. That's what I get for not testing it out first. Smells great but performance is horrible.

Update on my Hacivat opinion. I wore this on a date recently. Girl i have been talking to for a few weeks. She said I smell delicious. She said this at the beginning and ending of the date. And sent me a text next morning saying how good I smelled.

I want to formally apologize to the creators of Hacivat. Keep doing yall thing.
 
I was rocking samples and vintage minis most of the summer but reached for Les Indemodables - Escale en Haiti and Dior - Eau Savauge EdP/EdT alot too...

Also just copped a back up of Equipage to keep in the stash... One of my favourite dress up Autumn scents...

Does anybody else feel like fragrance houses are throwing out these releases too fast now? I can barely keep up anymore.

Yeah its ridiculous and part of the reason we have so many generic fragrances as houses just churn out one after the other...

I tried the new Prada Paradigm this week and it smelt exactly like other lazy nuclear fragrances...
