I’m not sure if it’s just my bottle. This fragrance doesn’t smells like everyone talked about, doesn’t smell like Red tobacco at all, unfortunately. It’s like smoky leather, not sweet, a bit synthetic, last forever. The dry down is only smoky and leathery on my skin, not a pleasant scent. I hope this is only my experience, do not blind buy it just because someone reviewed it.

People saying the Missoni smells like Blue de Chanel, not quite to my nose. It’s fresh strong opening and a bit sweet and soapy woody dry down. It lasts a whole afternoon outdoors and survived a late night shower. Quite long lasting for its price point.
The Missoni smells familiar to me, like something my father would wear 30+ years ago. Very old school style, can’t really resemble what perfume has the similar notes, the dry down on my skin has a hint the original A&F fierce.
I would recommend for people looking for a safe, versatile, masculine scent that long for a long time, get it at a discounter.

I’ve heard a lot of good things about this Milestone, people said it’s similar to Creed Millesime Imperial. No, it’s not. I have the Creed MI and use it daily on hot days, this Milestone is far from it. I can say it has the similar concept of a fresh melony-smell opening, semi-floral woody a bit powdery dry down. But no, it’s far far off from some other clones like Aventus. To me Milestone is way lacking of the high quality feeling of Creed Millesime Imperial, it’s like not mature enough or something. Can’t really describe it, it’s just off compare to the original.
I’m not a fan of the Club de Nuit intense man either, the opening is too synthetic, chemical-like. This Milestone is in the similar style of its popular brother. But Club de Nuit intense man does have 80%+ similarities to Creed Aventus, at least in the dry down, much better for a clone concept of perfume.
Millstone is decent daily use perfume if you don’t have high expectations fir it’s not a clone that many people claimed that is. For less the $30, it’s good enough for its value.

This fragrance has a beautiful fresh fruity opening, kind reminds me of Erba Pura’s “ boyfriend”. Fresh berry like. The mid is a bit green notes mix with the sweet fresh fruit, not bad at all. But the kicker is the dry down, smells medicinal, kinda like the bitter Chinese herb medicine, in a negative way. After about 30 minutes, the fresh fruity note is completely gone on my skin. Left with a wet dirt mix with wet grassy note, doesn’t smell clean or pleasant at all. The longevity of this fragrance is up there, luckily the dry down doesn’t project much. I would hate to smell like a dirty wet mop. Very disappointed.
For anyone like the H24 DNA, still recommend to try it on skin first before buying.

The first sniff of Chergui is similar. Smells like some type of Asian Floral-water formula 30+ years ago, green glass bottle, mostly for the summer for mosquito bites, the scent is not a negative association, it just part of the memory.
Back to Chergui, it’s slightly sweet and a little medicinal at the beginning, it’s simple but with some depth. The dry down on my skin is more creamy, a bit boozy, floral and sweet, in a very nice way. I know it’s different on everyone.
Overall, after smelling few heavy-hitters, I still like Chergui. The scent is not unique to me, but very nicely blended. A bit towards the feminine side. I would say it’s more versatile for cooler seasons, very nice after a bit dry down. It lasts about 4-6 hrs on skin after one spray. I would say it’s good quality for its price.
