I'm still thinking about getting Renaissance for a couple of years now. In my opinion, Xerjoff(Serđeoff not Đrđeoff) is a highly overrated house with a lot of glorified designer clones at niche prices, but still have a couple of bangers.
I have the EDT, that I bought 2 years ago for my birthday. I was intrigued by Oud and wanted to try it out - I would say I like it, but I'm a little on the fence about some of the notes that come through (I'm not new to perfume ofc, but I am new to trying to describe it! lol). I feel I get a taste at the back of my throat that I think could be tobacco and I don't know that I like that element.
Over the past 18 or so months, I blind-bought the following Alexandria Fragrances EDPs: *Campfire Nights* (clone of "By The Fireplace") and *Sweet Smoke* (clone of "Tobacco Vanille"). Although both started out promisingly and were remarkably close to the opening notes of the originals, I was very disappointed in their weak projection and lousy longevity. Applied liberally, both scents stuck around for a few minutes then slipped out the back, sticking me with the tab. Some 20-30 minutes post-spraying, then *poof*-- barely detectable This pattern repeated itself no less than five applications over 7 or 8 days and several different "noses". I've tried the real BTF and TV shortly before purchasing the Alexandria dupes, and they both performed like champs. Apologies for the preceding being a tad off-subject, but if anyone's considering an AlexFrag blind-buy, you'd do well to first request a sample. And pay special attention to that sample's longevity.
Renaissance is a masterpiece IMO. It's silky smooth, no rough edges, and it transitions beautifully into a musky citrus patchouli scent. It's dead sexy.
Bro you are being Bias(probably cause you got a free bottle) I bought the 100ml of Casino Royale Nights, and after an hour is practically skin scent, I understand now why they don't accept returns.!
Bro please do honest review. Yes. The smell is fantastic, I never smelled an amazing fragrance like this before. But, performance, longevity and project... This fragrance doesnt even last for 5 mins. I never saw a fragrance shit like this. Its like spraying water. Even the 1 dollars fake parfums stay longer on you and projects better. The shittest fragrance on earth.
I got it and it was a dud. Smells cloyingly sweet with nothing else. No Pink pepper, Leather, Tobacco, Vetiver… And it probably lasted 5 minutes. Sniff sniff it’s gone. Reached out to them and they don’t reply. And delivery to my country in South Asia took almost a month!
The .2012 was beast mode correct the tobacco was more dominant now is waterred down I still have the 2012 full size bottle and 20219 you can tell a massive difference. nice review thinking of getting a clone
Already I have the Parfum .. and I am looking for the Intense.. Is it worth buying and they have a different smell .. or they are they very similar smell ? Thanks for the review 🌹 .. by the way what's ur cute dog name ?..
"Lol oh i won't but clones." Thats a tuff sell man. Especially when AF is typically 95-105% of what the target frag was. And a quarter the price. Heres I think a better way to look at af: for like 1k u can get like 15 bottles and thats w no discount (they have huge discount codes out there) code and really get into what different houses are all about. The tom fords are amazing. Id rather wear citrus splash over mandrino di amalfi, or agar over oud wood for instance. AF just does em better. Which sucks cuz I have a lot of $$ tied up in tom ford but hey, heirlooms? Lol whatever. U want a SOLID AS FK collection? Collect alexandria for a year. You'll have more frags than any of your friends, and since uve already invested in a grip of expensive ones like aventus and tobacco mandrin (which i wouldnt trade for anything) and a half dozen tom fords, they can't say u dont have taste either. Then u can show em: look which smells better oajan or apple crumb? 95% of the time my friends pick af. Then I just say, youre welcome now buy me beer.
Not wanting to smoke, not even pipes--turns out that was an especially good call, considering that COVID-19 would rear its ugly head in a few months! Anyway, nice video. Thanks.
It’s a safe blind buy worthy frags. You got a sample to taste it, this is the reason you don’t like it.Buy a 100 ml bottle & your opinion would be completely opposite. In terms of blending it’s definitely on par with xerxoff nio,Roja dove Elysium & creed Aventus.Peace.
@@smellgoodfeelgood4248 @ As far as I know, the official sample from Nishane is very difficult to find out any retail shop. So people usually go to frag community in social media to buy & test from a 5ml or 10 ml decant & as we all know the availability of counterfeit or fake perfume, there is a strong possibility of sniffling the fake one.I Don't know from where you got the sample. With due respect, I didn’t find any fragrance reviewer who don’t like Nishane Hacivat. I know, every persons choice & taste is subjective. So,I guess your taste is different from all other reviewers in a good way.The other thing that I like to mention is the psychological aspect of human being who usually used to love the things where they invested big amount of money.If they don’t love,at least they liked but never hate or blame himself.I think I can make you understand with my little knowledge, sir.Peace.
