Oooh, I missed this earlier, MI is one of my all time fave's will be checking this out.

Yeah that’s the one ! I’m interested, as I’ve never smelt MI before. I tried to order last night but it said I had to spend £50 minimum hmm.

MI is a fantastic frag, but performance isn't great. Rush of Unicorns by PV fixes that and smells exactly the same. Cheaper too.

Just a heads up, selfridges have a 10% discount going on their site for all fragrance if anyone was looking to pick some up with a discount for Xmas etc. Just grabbed a bottle of nasomatto Pardon.

One of my all time favourites but sold it on as it was just too expensive and didn't last on me.

I might get it again once Notino has it for a good price.

it didn’t last ? I thought it was a beast when I tested it a month or two ago

I guess it’s all down to skin chemistry.

might pick up duro or baraonda too.. hmm decisions

I was in Muscat a few weeks ago with work. I grabbed a bottle of Jubilation XXV 100ml. It is way stronger than the UK version that I had a sample of. Sample lasted 5hours on me, realy Oman bottle lasts 12+ easy still smelling it on myself lol

Been testing office for men the past day or so, and I don’t get why it gets so much hate ? It’s actually a decent, freshie. And seems to last ages. I do rather like it ! (Don’t like the price though, as mentioned, it should be cheaper than it is)

V_R · 29 Nov 2019 at 08:00

Yeah, as I said earlier, I would happily wear it, but I wouldn't pay that much for it. I just looked again and its 160 euros, thats about £137 at the mo. If you get it when they run a BOGOF (which is every other week at the moment!) that still works out at £68 for 100ml. For what it is, that's too damn high.

If I could get it for ~£45 or maybe £50 then I'm probably pick up a bottle.

He does make it easy to hate on him though, that's the problem!

I’ve never watched any of his YouTube videos

and I don’t think I ever will. For reviews and stuff I usually catch Gents Scents.

might look at picking up a bottle on the bogof deal and gift one to a friend for Xmas. Or just wait until the price inevitably drops.

V_R · 29 Nov 2019 at 09:22

Yeah I was tempted to see if anyone wants to go in on two bottles, might be a good way to do it. That or wait for it to hit the discount/grey market.

Ah yeah good idea ! I’m gonna keep an eye out for that bogof deal.

I don’t think it’ll hit discounters, as the only place to buy it apparently is their website?

V_R · 29 Nov 2019 at 10:56

Nah me neither tbh. I do know that its already been cloned by the likes of Alexandria and I think Dua are on the case.

£48 with vat? Very reasonable. Might see if I can get a sample ! Thanks ! :cool:

V_R · 29 Nov 2019 at 11:49

Yep, its what the original fragrance should be tbh. They do samples for something like £8 I think.

Mobius 1 · 29 Nov 2019 at 11:53

Just looking through their selection.. wow impressive! They all get great reviews too on fragrantica. Great site !

V_R · 29 Nov 2019 at 11:54

Let me know if you are thinking about a bottle of OfM. I might go half's with you if they do a BOGOF again, that is is you would be interested of course!

I dislike the guy and will never support him by buying his products. He's a dishonest arrogant lair asking his viewers to donate so he can keep his channel going, then shows up in Ferrari months later. In a preview video (which he deleted) of his fragrance launch, he said that he planned to triple the price to make it seem like a luxury product.

The problem with Office is that there are already plenty of established brands offering fragrances in that same category. Its not something you can gift either.

I have had a sample and would choose Versace Dylan Blue over it for a fraction of the price.

Still not sold on No9 myself. I've had a few compliments but on a personal level I'm just not sure I like it enough to buy again.
