Lemony something
I smelled it on paper first to make sure I like it and of course I did, because it was very simple.
But the nuances didn't show themselves until I got myself a bottle and now, my impressions are quite different.
It's fresh (though not as fresh as I expected), citrusy and woody, but there's an interesting herbal and spicy quality to it, which clashes with the rest of the blend and it reminds me of cinnamon, I guess it's the rosemary and vetiver working together.
This spicy tone sets this fragrance apart a little bit, but it can be a very "hit or miss" thing and if you were to remove it, you would be left with a generic cleaning product smell.
The performance is average, maybe a little better than most freshies.
I'd say you should test this first on your skin to see if you really like it - sadly I didn't, so I'm on the fence with this one.
Wore this mostly during Spring and early Fall, maybe this one needs the high heat to really open up, I'll give it a few more wearings.
Weirdly, it also leaves a sticky residue on my skin and none of my other scents do that.

An interesting oriental
Sweet, spicy, smoky, slightly gourmand and unmistakably Middle Eastern.
To be short and simple, this reminds me of
Angels' Share Eau de Parfum, but with the booze removed and done in a more oriental style.
I also find it to be a lot more heavy and not nearly as safe, because even though there are no cinnamon or oud listed in the notes, I get both and it just smells funky on my skin.
No denying that it's a high quality scent, but it lasts 12+ hours easily so it's too strong for me.
I bought this one a few years ago, together with
Royal Amber and I never reach for it.
In my opinion, it's posh and it's hard to find the right occasion to wear it plus the drydown puts me off.
Like, but not a love, I'll have to let this one go.

Totally underrated
Sadly, this one flies under the radar nowadays and it's got a lot of bad reviews, so now it sits in the bottom of the rankings. :(
I just love it every time I spray it on, it smells: very fresh, citrusy, floral and woody.
While it has a slight 2000s vibe for sure, it can still hold it's own against the ambroxan-heavy, shower gel-smelling blue fragrances.
You can use it all year round in casual situations, except Winter because it doesn't have the power to cut through the cold.
I think you can't go wrong with this, it's really affordable with respectable performance and the people around you will definitely like it.

Cheap, but quite enjoyable
They don't hide the fact that they copied 
Love & Luck for Men, but you can tell that it has even cheaper ingredients, so it smells more linear and "muddled" if that makes sense.
The citruses and florals make it really fresh and uplifting and the base is woody and musky. There's a slight green/ozonic touch here as well that isn't really found in Love & Luck.
Moderate longevity and sillage, you can get about 5-6 hours out of this, which is absolutely fine for the price.
Great fragrance for 10 euros or less, but I just don't need this one since I got the original.
I don't see the point in buying this scent to be honest, unless you want the cool and cheesy cigar bottle.
The Ed Hardy costs like 20 euros and it's totally worth paying the extra cash, you'll get a better quality scent with the same or even slightly better performance.

A fantastic gourmand
It was a blind buy and I didn't know what to expect, but it smells a lot more expensive than what it actually costs!
In the opening and mid, the rose and jasmine are prominent together with the vanilla, but as it dries down it becomes a very delicious vanilla ice cream scent with some toffee-like qualities to it.
This fragrance is unisex, leaning slightly feminine, but if you're a guy who likes to wear florals and gourmands then you can absolutely wear this.
It's not a super beast mode scent, but it lasts for 8-10 hours on my skin with moderate to heavy projection in the first 2 hours or so.
An absolute steal for the price and a great entry to vanilla scents - in fact I think this is my first one as well.
