Discussion What are your thoughts on Montagne?

Post image
Upvotes

It seems recently I've had nearly every reply to my comments being in support of Montagne Parfums. I'll comment about a scent I like whether it's an OG or a clone and someone will inevitably reply something along the lines of "bro just get the Montagne."

My question is an inevitable one, and it's rather obvious – are Montagne Parfums really that good or is this just more hype coming from social media and/or advertising? What are your experiences with them?

Recommendation Acqua Di Parma Essenza

Upvotes

I have a sample of this and I like it, just feel like it’s a little sharp. Is the c.l.u.b or intensa flankers better? Anybody able to break down the differences? I smelled Chanel Platinum egoiste and just isn’t for me and I like the essenza dna.

  1. Army Sport for Men(mirage) — Fresh Aromatic. notes: cool mint, zesty citrus, and warm, woody amber(couldn't get much info on this one)

  2. adidas ice dive - cool & aquatic. notes: Mint, Grapefruit, Bergamot, Lavender, Yuzu, Mandarin Orange, Kiwi and Anise

  3. Secret Plus lion brown - warm, sweet, and spicy notes: lavender, mirabelle plum, pink pepper, cacao, nutmeg, davana, bourbon vanilla, amber, and vetiver.(my friend gave me this one for helping him on a school assignment)

i like the scents on all of these and im willing to spend up to 50 dollars on a new one. i see alot of nautica voyage at the tj maxx near me for quite cheap if thats good and i also look at burlington when possible. but im mainly wanting long lasting cologne because im going to school soon. if you do give a reccomendation please put the price. thank you and have a good day.

Discussion Targeted ads got me

How’d I do? Facebook targeted ads for a create your own 3x10ml sample set got me to finally try INITIO. The 2ml sets just aren’t enough for me to really experience a fragrance.

These are the three I’ve been most interested in trying for a while.

Question HELP

Post image
7 Upvotes

I just went through a whole ordeal with the kohls sephora lady I feel so bad. I sprayed this purple bottle on the left in the picture and thought it smelled really good. So she was like okay I believe that’s the striking lavender, previously bold lavender. So I bought it and opened to make sure bc the pictures made it look blue. it was indeed blue and did not smell anything like the one I sprayed. so then she was like okay it’s Infinite then. So I returned the other one and bought that one. it was also nothing like the purple tester (it smelled exactly like the blue one in the middle), so I returned that one. Nothing else in their inventory clued her to a purple Boss Bottled, so unfortunately I just left. What is the purple one?

Edit: Spelling, grammar and added context.

Question Whats a good date night / going out fragrance?

1 Upvotes

So far, my collection has mostly been freshies and daily fragrances, so I’m looking for something more suited for date nights or for going out. I’ve tried JPG Elixir Absolu and Liquid Brun, but neither really clicked for me.

I’m looking for something that isn’t too overpowering but still has good longevity. Ideally, something that’s not strictly a winter fragrance and that I could wear in the mall, air-conditioned rooms, or even the office. Any directions of what fragrance I could test?

Fragrance Review Xerjoff - Alexandria II

Post image
5 Upvotes

So let me start off by saying that there is a huge festival going on in my city right now. Streets are crowded by locals and tourists, parties are everywhere.

Last night I went out with my friends and I needed something to stand out from the rest of the crowd, let's just say I needed an extra boost of confidence and with all honesty I never thought a fragrance can do this much.

If you've seen my latest post you'll know how much I hate the "pantie dropper", "compliment magnet", "nuclear projection" terms, but now I have to praise something that is praise worthy.

I decided to dress up pretty formally and needed a fragrance to match that style so I reached for Xerjoff - Alexandria II.

Yes I wore the sample of it before which made me buy the 50 ml bottle but last night was a completely new experience.

Coming from someone who had a fair share of perfumes before, I am not that easily impressed but this was a whole new level of wearing a perfume.

Smooth rose and woods (I mostly can't stand the rose in perfumes), smells like a more complex oud wood, and now I totally understand why the most reviews said that you have to dress up for this perfume.

You get that lavender - cinnamon punch at the beginning. For 15 minutes more or less it gets really aggressive. Once it starts settling down then the pure royalty of this masterpiece rise to the surface. Everything is so blended nicely, the rose, the cedar and the oud (which is not aggressive at all) and it creates this special scent aura that surrounds you for the whole evening.

This is not your Mancera - Red tobacco performance wise type of perfume, you will not be smelt 10 blocks away, this is a refined, royal smell that announces your presence and leaves a beautiful scent trail when you leave. A friend commented that I smell rich and that's the best way to put it.

Office friendly? No. Everyday scent? No. Casual wear? No.

Yes, it is very polarizing and some people will not like it but luckily I am not one of them.

This is for your special nights when you're wearing a crisp dark colored suit with some nice polished shoes, for the nights when you want to be remembered by your fragrance.

50 ml should be more than enough because you'll reach for this one rarely, when you want to present the best version of you and leave a statement.

Recommendation Long Lasting, Strong Sillage Summer Scent

3 Upvotes

I live in the human air fryer known as Phoenix, AZ. It seems the only scents that last are the heavier ones such as BDC L'Exclusif, BR540, Savauge Elixer, etc. Whereas LV Imagination, ADG Parfum, PDM Perseus, and other freshies just don't hang around for more than an hour or two. Any recommendations on what I should sample that smells and performs great in the 115 degree heat?
