I am a 20 years old who is new to the fragrance community. This is my first higher quality fragrance.
I am very pleased with this one and I got a lot of compliments wearing this. I have a more reserved personnality, but I still like the fact that others can smell me very well with this, even hours after putting this on. It is not a punch you in the face type of fragrance and it is not too sweet that it smells juvenile like most teenagers. It still fits for all ages in my opinion and it is what makes it great.
I apply this fragrance in the morning, and I sometimes become noseblinded to it and I think that it is gone, but others can still smell me up to 10 hours after putting it on.
I find that it is a very well balanced fragrance that is super versatile. I could use this in any situation and i would not got wrong.
I would highly suggest this fragrance to anyone who would like a good manly fragrance that fits very well in all situations and that is liked by the ladies.
FYI : I am a 20 years old male who is new to the fragrance community. If you have any suggestions on manly fragrances that are pleasing and good price-value, please fell free to send me a message !
I just ventured back into the hobby after 2 decades (43 now) and have built up a small little collection so far. If you're looking for quality bang-for-the-buck manly fragrances here's some to try:
Lattafa Suqraat: This is a clone of Acqua Di Gio Profumo. It's a spicer/smokier version of the original. Great during the summer and winter. Get the original if you can afford it later on.
Lattafa Asad: Clone of Sauvage Elixir. This is bordering on something you would want to wear in your mid-30s and up, but you said manly so here ya go! It's not quite a 100% dupe, as it does its own thing a bit but it's still really good and it's super cheap. Alexandria probably does the best clone of Elixir.
Insurrection II Wild: A clone of A*Men Pure Havane (discontinued). I hated, hated this at first. I put my decant away for half a year. Then I tried it one day on my skin and let it sit. Once the dry down hit me, I fell in love.
Honorable mention: Rochas Moustache. YSL Tuxdeo dupe. Classy & Elegant!
