Which one did you pick up ? I hear a few of them are worth grabbing for the price.

I’m testing a few Amouage and Diptyque at the moment. :) the ones I like most are

amouage - reflection (really digging this one!), overture and jubilation xxv.

diptyque - philosykos edp and tam dao.

I picked this one up, had to order from the German eBay as it was cheaper.

Have you smelt Tom Ford - Vetiver? It’s amazing!
 
I haven’t tried it yet. But I’m really enjoying beau de jour, so I’ll check it out !


For anyone interested.. there’s a new acqua di gio on the horizon. (People are just getting their hands on it this week) looks like their take on blue

You confused me with the user name change for a second!

Got a bottle of this recently after a getting some in a split, stunning summer scent, if you've smelt Creed's Virgin Island Water this is that but with added lime and a more 'fun' vibe.


I've also bought a bottle of Armaf Milestone as I love Creed's MI. Should be here in a few days.

Haha, yeah ! I’d had my previous name so long I don’t even know why I chose it, so decided on a change :P

I love ViW. I’ll have to check that alternative out. I tried Hawaii volcano by Alexandria but it is missing the rum note so it’s not quite the same.

armaf milestone looks interesting. Let us know your thoughts !
 
Malibu isn't a direct copy of VIW, its similar but has more of a lime punch. VIW is smoother, more grown up. :)

As for the ARMAF, Will do. I hope its good as MI is one of my all time fav's.

I got a pre-mixed bottle of iso-e of eBay and added some timbersilk and sylvander. I can not tell them apart, lasts all day. Had a few ask what I'm wearing - I just say armani most of the time though haha its easier.

Its a good clone, I have a 2013 bottle of MI and its very difficult to tell them apart. Creed version feels a bit more airy and notes are slightly more defined.

Update:
Been wearing MI and Milestone side by side today. I still rate MI as a much better fragrance, there is a nice light fruity accord and when it drys down the signature Creed ambergris note appears, which is missing in the linear Milestone.

Ordered a bottle of Missoni Pour Homme which turned up this morning. Great fragrance for the price (paid £31 for 50ml) hefty glass bottle with a magnetic cap.

Reviews say it smells similar to Bleu De Chanel (I’m not really getting that personally, but I can see why some are saying this) overall I’m impressed though ! Very versatile, can be worn in the heat of summer, or the cold of winter. The atomiser is fantastic, reminds me of the Dior atomisers.

Edit. I’ve also got a bottle of hanae mori HiM edp on the way too. 50ml cost me £16. :D

Nice pick up. I like Viking :) I only have a sample, but from what I’ve tested, it’s a really fresh, modern barbershop :D my only issue was it didn’t last too long. (Tbh, most fragrances these days don’t last that long. Dior Homme Parfum being the exception which lasts 12+ hours)

unlike Aventus where your clothes still smell of it a week later :D
 
Has anyone got any personal experience of any copycat type aftershave companies? I keep seeing adverts on Facebook with lots of rave reviews, but not sure if I can trust those reviews thinking they may be paid for reviews etc.

I think one company was called copycat fragrances and the other I think was the essence vault. I can't bring myself to pay full whack for the likes of aventus etc.
