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.

Ah yeah, I'd forgotten about that. Hmmm, maybe I will just buy the clone.

Yeah.. okay I won’t be supporting that then :/ shame, because really it’s the work of Alberto Morillas, and his fragrances are great.

Edit. Ordered 3 samples on Friday from Alexandria Fragrances

interplay extrait (wanted to see how close this is to my bottle of BR540 Extrait

)

Hawaii Volcano

And boardroom

Will update my post with impressions etc.

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.

That’s great! I’ll take a look, thanks ! :cool:

Got my Alexandria Fragrance samples in the post today. (Boardroom, interplay, Hawaii volcano)

have only had the chance to try boardroom. I haven’t done a side by side with office for men yet, but it smells very very similar upon first sniff

I got a bottle of Issey Miyake Pulse Of The Night for a decent price. I've had a decant of it and its a cracking scent, better than Noir Ambre IMO. It will likely be my scent of the season, for now any way.

Aye. I’ve seen Ash from gents scents hype that fragrance up a fair bit. Need to find a sample.

Give it a go mate, I think you'll like it.

Mobius 1 · 13 Dec 2019 at 15:47

Waiting on a bottle of roja dove elysium parfum to arrive. (The plain bottle not the blue bottle) Will let you know my thoughts !

V_R · 13 Dec 2019 at 19:17

I have the Parfum Cologne, if its anything like that its fantastic. Wrong time of year for it though.

Mobius 1 · 13 Dec 2019 at 19:40

While I agree it sort of is the wrong time of the year. I do tend to wear citrus fragrances in autumn/winter (and I think they work great on nights out) but never winter fragrances in summer. (Unless it’s a cool evening)

I hear this version is thicker/dense, longer lasting version of the blue bottle and also slightly heavier on the vetiver. Which is great as I love vetiver.

V_R · 13 Dec 2019 at 23:02

Yeah fair point, it'll work well in the office too.

Somnambulist · 17 Dec 2019 at 12:10

Got samples of Oud Wood and Fougere Platine to try off my workmate. Also finally used my DHP sample for the first time... wasn't quite as beast mode as I expected although I do like it enough that I'll open the full bottle I have when I finish it.

Also looking forward to D&G The One Intense EDP coming out next year - I like the current EDP but it could perform a bit better, so here's hoping...

FYI anyone interested CDNI on offer at Amazon at the mo, only £23.

Bought a bottle the other day. Ended up binning it as it stunk. :/ maybe I just got a bad bottle.

V_R · 17 Dec 2019 at 13:08

Yeah I ain't a fan either tbh. Would rather a decant of the real thing, or a bottle of PVI etc. But I know it has its fans in here.

Not just me then

got my bottle of elysium yesterday. The box and presentation is second to none. The bottle is great too. It’s definitely more vetiver heavy than the cologne, it’s also got a little less citrus than the cologne too. Very happy !

edit. Sprayer / atomiser not so great.

Edit 2. Also bagged a 30ml bottle of Armani code absolu for £40. It’s getting a lot of praise atm.

Interlude is one of my favourites. I have an early bottle from 2012 before they reformulated it, that stuff is nuclear, I only go 1 spray. The newer stuff is quite strong, I recommend spraying away from your nose, around your body and not your neck.

Thought i would bump this post as I bought Interlude on the basis of this. Even a year on this is still my favourite autumn/winter fragrance - as mentioned, it is nuclear.

Noticed this offer, cheapest I have seen from a genuine retailer - is the gift set https://www.harrods.com/en-gb/amoua...&ranSiteID=0RpXOIXA500-hbk0IOhi7wRpNMFCZ9ZwMg
