Another good scent (-clone) from the house for a modest price / + personal opinion!
Hello everyone,
how do I start this review = Good question ...!
Preface:
We are talking about a house that somehow feels like it only clones scents!
Do I think this is good?
NO!
Do I find it reprehensible?
Not really!
Why?
Personal opinion on this!
Creating a scent, bottling it, designing flacons (etc.) often costs in the hundreds of thousands (roughly) of euros. I’ll call it resources x; if I had those resources to create a scent, I would use them to design something new, + something different that hasn’t been combined in the best possible way yet..., but nowadays, all companies (99% of them) always think that a scent must generate maximum success and revenue. I feel there's a bit of a lack of courage to take risks...
At the end of the day, that’s also completely right/economic, and cloning "successful" scents for a fraction of the money...., it’s an approach, but certainly not one I would choose, but that’s a personal perspective...
_____________
About the scent:
It goes 98% in the direction of "Oud for Greatness | Initio" and Haltane. Woody, spicy, oriental, slightly green, a bit of lavender, and a soft fluffy drydown are what we have here.
An amateur will hardly ever (!) notice the difference from the expensive counterpart, and that alone is really shocking and shows how good those clone houses have become in some cases.
Of course, trained noses will notice a certain difference, and dismissing this is nonsense in my opinion. So if someone is looking for this, wants it, and needs it, go for it!
When sprayed discreetly, it is very well received!
Its biggest plus point is its price!
Because it costs around 150€ less
than "Oud for Greatness | Initio" or Haltane ...
with a similar performance, and somehow that’s almost frightening...
And now have a nice day/evening or whenever you read this review, best regards, Benny
