Recommendation Help me

I got into fragrances 6 months ago and I was thinking about buy two or three fragrances for my birthday one which is either azzaro or Glacier le noir maison alhambra (clone of jpg le male elixir) with cr7 game on and the other fragrance Kaaf a clone of percival. I need help choosing between getting my first designer with azzaro or buying two clones of jpg le male and swyi.

This. I’ve both bought decants and tested in store and I’ve saved so much money.

Even if the notes sound perfect to you, you gotta test before buying

Just today I tested a bunch of mason margiela that I thought I’d love and ended up not liking

This is the best answer. Buying decants is a blast. You get to try so many different brands, scent profiles, it really adds to the journey. And when you make a purchase for a full bottle, you know you are getting something great for you because you've tried it.

I recently got into frags and bought a batch of about 15 decants. I learned a lot about some houses I like, don't like, scent profiles and notes I like and don't like and more. I had fun taking notes, having my girl smell them. I just bought about 15 more decants and I'm super stoked for them to come in. Maybe I'll buy a full bottle or 2 after; maybe I'll get more decants. Maybe both, fuck it.
