maybe you went from buying cheap clones to buying decent fragrances? the price hasn't changed that much to the point where you were able to afford 20 fragrances to only affording 3. that makes no sense. most designers are still $50-$90 at discounters, same as they were when i bought my first fragrances in 2016.
I can attest to what Dallas said about Bentley For Men Intense, that it takes some warming up to. When I first sampled it early on in my fragrance hobby it was a bit much and overwhelming. But give it some time, smell some other fragrances, and come back to it. I love it now. Also, I recommend taking light sniffs of it the first time; don't take a "deep sniff" how I did my first time It smells better in the air than up close off the initial spray hahaha
Glad you included Ombre Noir. It is sneaky good, inexpensive, and one of the best tobacco vetiver scents ever. It has light projection but I overspray and smile all day.❤😊❤
I think Lalique Ombre Noire is the best bang for your buck fragrance there is. Easily in my top 5 of all time and it's way, way cheaper than anything else that comes near it.
First Instinct Extreme is a MASSIVE compliment getter, at least for the first couple of hours. then it dies completely, but it's worth it for those first 2 hours of compliments left and right.
Off topic but anyone else feel like Prada Luna Rossa Ocean line smells like Creed Original Santal or even Mont Blanc Individuel? Or at least the same vibe?
