NSY Supplies
Made in France, May 2018

I wore it for the first time yesterday, 2 sprays around my neck area. I could still smell it on my skin 24hrs later. Three compliments now

cool just used the same supplier.

i already have the other clone i mentioned previously from USA.

so i'll compare with this. I have also smelt the original. my mate has a bottle @ £230 lol.

Just ordered some , if it is rubbish it’s only £28 wasted , saying that, even if it’s not great it’ll do for work

That link is the one I ordered on 15th June and I think it's not as good as previously.

In what way?

the american clone is good. but it's not a spray it's like a oil. you only need 3 drops of it. so 10ml for $20 lasts a long time.

Pineapple vintage intense is pretty good, I remember testing the samples on Basenotes as it was being finalised. I still have a sample spray here with me
I find i get olfactory fatigue pretty quickly with Aventus and the Armaf club de nuit intense, but the vintage seems to last me a little longer

Really based on the feedback, I don't think it lasts as well for one thing.

Perhaps the individual bottles might be different? Mine says May 2018 on the bottle.
Put it like this, sprayed it on at 7am after my shower. I could still smell it when I went to bed at 11pm, next morning my pillow stunk of it and I could still smell it when I jumped in the shower at 6. That's 23hrs.

I'll tell you what it a pathetic performer. This one

It's like spraying water! Now that was a waste of money.

YSL changed the formulation from the original but I have bottle of this and it seems to have decent longevity on my skin - certainly lasts all day albeit more suited to being an evening fragrance than a day one but have had plenty of compliments with it on in the office.

I am not keen on the new YSL 'Y' as that just smells of something I would have liked in my teens/early 20's.

Well. Now that every man and his dog will be wearing aventus/clone.. (it’s really not my taste at all)


What other good scents can people recommend ? niche would be better

Aventus is too expensive for everyone to be wearing it. I do get a whiff of it occasionally though, it's very distinct

Hence all the clone talk in here (armaf)

To be honest, buying an expensive scent is no different to buying a nice suit for work etc.

I just think creed is over rated and the batch consistency is really bad

I've had a few testers of various creeds and although nice Aventus did stand out to me. I still have a small 30ml bottle now, it's my favourite but i only use it occasionally as it's too expensive to use daily!

I mean, I’d blind buy a small 30ml bottle, but reports in batch consistency put me off.

And I’m not into clones. If it’s not the real Deal then I’ll pass.

At the moment Im getting most compliments from Fahrenheit Parfum.

What sort of thing do you like? Freshies for summer I assume?

 

[Yadda]

Anyone tried Arko Gold Power? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Aftershave-Cologne-Power-250ml-Million/dp/B00WZE2I40

I have a bottle in the cupboard. It's cheap enough to slap-on daily and it smells very nice (like "1 Million" apparently but I've never had that so wouldn't know).

Anything really that’s not too popular.

I mean I’ve tried all the usual, AdG Profumo, bvlgari aqva and variants, d&g light blue intense.

None of them really last though..

Edit. Bought a bottle of AdG Absolu the other day, smells almost identical to invictus. It also stained one of my white tshirts not much of a fan

you aren't buying anything mechanical here.

as in it's not going to break after 2 uses.

smell is smell. if a clone smells like the original then IMO it's as good as the original. unless of course you plan on keeping the receipt or bottle in your pocket to show everyone you bought the original.

i agree with you on watches for instance. buy something real not fake. it's obvious to see the difference. i seen a fake version of mine at a market in thailand. i told the guy it's an obvious fake. he said it wasn't thinking i was interested in buying trying to haggle so he came down in price a little. i told him no i don't want it i have the original why would i want the fake? he came down in price again lol. however since i owned the original i could tell things like the stones weren't right. also the things holding them in place were too big, etc. it was obvious from a mile away.

also same market fake converses were more expensive than real ones from a posh shopping centre on the other side of bangkok.

i don't do fakes. however these aren't fakes they are their own smell. as in i'm not buying a box or package made to look like aventus creed. which is using their name, etc. it is it's own product. it isn't fake. if it smells like it then you can pass it off as being aventus.

how many women do you see all with louis vuitton handbags, etc? everyone and their dog buys fakes. it's obvious they are a fake too. however these IMO aren't fake and they aren't obvious they aren't the real deal. unless like i say you have the receipt or bottle in your pocket nobody can tell if it's real or not.

 

[Mobius 1]

I know where you’re coming from. Horses for courses. And I’ve never said they’re “fakes”

I just don’t do clones.

Regardless of how well they’ve tried to copy the original.
