5 CHEAPER Alternatives To The Best Expensive Fragrances
Vložit
- čas přidán 10. 09. 2024
- Well...let's try this a different way.
I was hoping that more folks would take to the previous video in this series ( • 5 Niche Alternatives T... ), but that was not the case.
And I understand why--niche fragrances can be expensive. But in my opinion, if you love a scent, then it is worth the price (within reason)...but I cannot impose that sentiment upon anyone.
So instead, we're taking the opposite approach--I'm going out on a limb and recommending alternatives to some of my favorite niche fragrances...ones that I suggest often.
This video does not negate my outstanding recommendations on these niche fragrances, but rather it offers some gateway fragrances that may hopefully lead you to be interested in my niche recommendations if you haven't yet tried them.
Again, I'm trying to bridge the gap.

Sometimes it is the feel of a fragrance that we appreciate more than the nuances of composition. I think if you want to get that feel, the alternatives are the way to go. If you want to stay in those feels and deepen that, go for the niche experience. You’ll get more refinement and excellent quality.
Well-said.
Oud Touch is one of the most aggressive fragrances I own. It packs an uppercut of a punch. Room filler, looong scent trail but not for the faint of heart, but it really shines in cold weather in a leather jacket. Easily beast mode: 12+ hours on my skin
Really good said.
My boss said, who’s wearing pepper spray, its so strong. You’re going to survive in any war. Whole room smells like this!
And everyone admit it that the whole room is filled with this smell😂
@@donzi7712 lmfao 🤣 I’m willing to buy one
@@donzi7712 and me dumbass sprayed it 4 times on the arm to test it, my nose hair got singed, after 45min the smell got so good
The problem lot of the time is that folks do sample lot's of niche FRAGRANCES " and could definitely find the scent amazing!!!!
But unfortunately it's a big difference from spending 20 to 30 dollar's on a niche decant from buying a full bottle ranging from 200 to 400 dollar's! Especially when it comes to the working class who have other priorities like bill's to pay and the economic situation now isn't the greatest time to be splurging on hundreds of dollars on fragrances lol lol lol
Even a decant can be enough! Full bottles can definitely be expensive. But if you run out of a decant of a niche fragrance you love, it might be worth forgoing a few cheaper purchases and saving up for the full bottle.
@@stayfreshproductions
Sometimes is hard also just get a sample, is way more complicated than you suggest...
If it's a problem to spend hundreds of dollars on a full bottle, you're probably also better off not sampling a bunch of decants for 30-40 dollars. 10 samples also cost 300-400 dollars then AND these don't come with an guarantee you'll actually love the fragrances If you love a cheaper fragrance, that's fine. Rock that stuff and be happy. But if you sampeld a more expensive one, it is just perfect for you and you have a small collection, better to buy a bottle of that one, than to sample 10 others. And with a bigger collection, a decant can last quite a long time. If samples are crazy expensive or impossible to get, then shop on. Blind buying expensive bottles is always a bad idea.
Thanks for the recommendation of Oud Touch. You described it eloquently as always and I was feeling and took a leap with it. Smells expensive and niche, unlike anything I have. Thanks for the recommendation have a great day bud
You are so welcome!
Oud Touch is great, but I find myself going for his Oud Vanille more. It’s so good and just as affordable.
oud touch is huge value for money. excellent rose oud combo
I can’t afford niche fragrances, but I appreciate hearing about them from someone who is passionate and intelligent like yourself… I have purchased the Frank Olivier fragrance and should be getting here tomorrow. I have a few designer fragrances, but mostly I enjoy variety. I can get with high-quality clones. If I had the money, I would definitely be a snob lol but I want you to know that I really appreciate you and what you bring to the fragrance community. God bless you.😊
Layer Oud Touch with Aventus or any other clone of it. Spray Oud Touch first and then the other. Thank me later.
👀
I'm listening
@@Blessedtruly03 Try Spicebomb Extreme and Moschino ToyBoy.
A bit late to the party but you got any more of those combos? I'm just trying those two and they seem to work really well 😳
@@whackywilley sure do. Check out my channel, have a couple videos with layering.
@@watchandspray pretty good 👍🏼
Oud touch is amazingly cheap. It was the rave about five years ago. Your statement about the declaration is accurate. It doesn't smell dated at all. Will hopefully get a full bottle someday. I've only used a sample decant.
Couldn’t agree more.
@@SherlockDave thanks
Hey Justin. Cartier is a very under the radar house. I have quite a few that get a lot of wear on a daily basis. Thanks for the video.
Thanks!
Tried the two Cartier fragrances, I own Declaration d’un soir and Pasha Parfum. Wouldn’t say I dislike niche fragrances, I just find them pretentious, I’d say you find designer quality fragrances near the same quality as niche, but for about a fifth the price.
You do a fantastic job describing these delightful products...really really appreciate that 🥳🥳😎
Thank you Thank you Thank you for recommending Oud Touch. Was looking for something in the arena of Oud Isphan. This comes close and takes care of the matter for me. Great suggestion
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoy it
Great video! Thank you...although I choked on my coffee when the "cheaper alternative" was a Tom Ford. But hey, no lies detected. I've gotta get down with some of these Cartiers you often recommend. Im always sitting on a full cart about to pull the trigger and wander off to fragrantica to see comments that say their longevity is equal to juicy fruit gum. I suppose there's a time and place for that...but I still can't help but think that I should buy only big longevity. I bet you would like Detour Noir by Haramain or Perlador Borouj. Better than the inspiration!
Big facts right there, I own both and the Détour especially is amazing as far as 1 to 1 and the projection and longevity significantly exceed the originals. Not mentioned but Armaf Craze is another one, amazing.
Yes, the Tom Ford as a cheaper alternative. 🙂 Like if a Lamborghini is too expensive for you, just buy a Porsche. 😉
But nonetheless, probably going to try the Tom Ford. 😎👍
The Tom Ford is cheaper than the Penhaligon's.
Thank you!
You can get Black Orchid really cheap at the discounters.
I found your previous mentioned video one of the most interesting (and i am watching quite a lot frag videos everyday). This one is a very interesting video as well. Niche "vs" Designers is a very interesting topic, at least for me.
Thank you!
I'm surprised Détour Noir by Haramain for a Layton clone was not mentioned. I'd have to say, out of all the different clones I've smelled and own its one of the best, if not best 1 to 1 I've ever smelled. Price is great, quality, longevity and projection. Smelling them both off test stripe_ I can't find a notable difference in any area. I wish all clones where this good!
My goal was not to use clones as the alternatives, but rather fragrances that carry a similar vibe. In terms of a cheaper alternative in my collection that fill the bill, for Layton it happened to be an inspired fragrance that came the closest.
Just sampled that Oud Galore and it was not what I expected at all, but in the best way possible. Though it is powerful and undeniably dark and sexy, it was very accessible. It almost has a effervescence to it that - even though it's bold and different - made it very "designery" in a way. It had that pop to it, if you know what I mean. I think it would be a great intro into niche ouds.
I have smelled both Cartiers that you mentioned but I prefer the Pasha De Cartier edition Noir more. Might buy a full bottle soon.
As for your previous format, I think one of the reasons why it didn’t get the traction you were hoping for it is that for newbies who are open to testing out niche, getting a niche version of the designer you love or have in your collection is a bit redundant if you are just starting this hobby or vice.
I love Mancera and I love Vetiver. I was so excited and planned to get Vetiver Sensuel but after testing the sample I realized that it has an almost identical vibe to Terre De Hermés. With this I decided not to get a full bottle.
This new format is different in a sense that for those newbies who are tired of blue fragrances and want to venture into niche but can’t still figure out what their tastes are, niche like designer offerings can offer a bridge.
Cartier fragrance are amazing I ordered carrier declaration once again 💪🏾👍🏽
Yeah, I gotta admit that I don't watch "Niche" reviews. Excellent review, my Brother. Peace and Love.
These videos been on point and up my alley lately 💪🏿🔥
Love this series of videos.. Keep them coming! 👍
Thank you!
Great video and I enjoyed it and I like PDM LAYTON EXCLUSIVE AND TOM FORD BLACK ORCHID PARFUM and I'm going to try the other fragrances and have a blessed day
Hey Justin, been a fan since 2020. I really appreciate your work. I have a question though: So far I have not bought an entire bottle but focussed primarily on samples. How do you decide which size you're buying (when you want to have a collection and not just one fragrance for all situations)? Usually, you save money when you buy the bigger size. But does it make sense to always buy one of the bigger sizes? For example, I like Dior Eau Savage and Beau De Jour by Tom Ford. They are not completely identical but somewhat similar, at least in my humble opinion. I don't want to have a super big collection but I do like variety for a variety of seasons and occasions. I would love to hear your opinion. I hope I was able to explain my "problem" and I apologize for the long post. Cheers and kind regards from Germany.
Hello Alexander, thank you for the kind words and for your support.
To put it simply, if you plan on having a collection of 20 or more full bottles, getting the largest size never saves money. You spend more money for it, and you have a lesser chance of actually finishing the bottle because of how large it is and the fact that you’ll be wearing other fragrances.
If you plan on having maybe only 5-10 bottles tops, then the largest size is reasonable. I hope this helps.
Bro. I love you, but I don't have those kind of pockets. Can you do a $30 and under fragrance video?
Brother Earl the Pearl, you can purchase the samples for cheap. Under $30 USD.
@@uncleg7676 What this person said. I have multiple bottles and they are all at the very least 90% full, most are 95% full since I have so much since I’m rotating and changing my mind so often. Samples are the way to go.
Wanted to buy the penhaligon but own the black orchid parfum.
Great content, as usual, but I have to say - the color of your shirt matches perfectly with the dusk outside... Just great composition!
Also slowly discovering the house of Cartier, they have fantastic fragrances! Wearing Declaration L'Eau today. So good!
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoy Cartier as well!
Your presentations are always top notch, thanks!
Much appreciated!
I'm the kind of guy that loves niche and designer
Oud Touch is amazing. Love it. Oud Ispahan vibes
I sold my Roja Enigma because i did not think it was very good! Specially for the price! The Coke Smell i see but really its a rip to pay 300 bucks for that Fragrance! Roja needs to drop there prices a bit! Of course that is just my opinion!
I have Cartier Declaration in my collection, I love it and can't wait for the colder months to rock it.
I liked the look you gave when commenting on whether the Oud is real in the Olivier fragrance! You know that oud was made from a chemistry set!
Have you smelled it?
@@stayfreshproductions Yes and I agree they have done a good job. And that price too!
And I think Justin forgot to add that Oud Touch lasts and lasts
@@MrErnestangelo and lasts....😊
some niche are terrible with performance and NOT worth the money...my humble opinion you are better off with the classics like Perry Ellis, Nautica...brands you are use too....I have tried niche and ehhhh some houses are VERY GOOD, EXCELLENT but some, not worth it, why bother. great video!
Ganymede is considered niche...I think. It's just well worth the price point. You get what you like, sometimes you get what you pay for. Either way it's your choice in the end...just say'in enjoy and try the decants.
It's definitely niche.
I’ve smelled the TF Black Orchid Parfum and it was a lot lol I have the edp and it’s the perfect balance.
Declaration is a classic! I love wearing it. I hadn’t realized it was similar to Oligarch. Great lineups brother
Thanks bro! I’m not saying that Déclaration smells like Oligarch, it just has a similar vibe.
Oud Touch and Declaration 👍👍👍👍👍
Hey Justin, love your reviews, and glad you venture into some Middle Eastern frags. I love Loyal Agar by Luxodor, an interpretation of PDM Layton. You might also want to check on Oud for Glory by Lattafa, an Oud for Greatness clone.
Thank you! More to discover.
Well done, I like it. More! More videos!
Thank you! Will do!
Ah Justin I loved the original Pacha de Cartier what a classic! Good to hear it getting some talk 😍😍 have you tried Must De Cartier pour Homme? It’s a lovely warm cinnamon probably not for this season but who cares I love it 😂
Hey Justin, love your content. I have a sample of vanilla oud and i love it. The only issue its summer where i live and I can't wear it. Although I'm thinking about it for a summer night out. Would you say it's appropriate? I also want to ask about the performance of this one and pineapple oak. I'm thinking of buying a full bottle but I'm not sure.
I think it's great for a summer night out!
Halfeti cedar is truly the best. It’s is a dark forbidden fruit . Best matched with strong personalities and individuals
I myself do not genrally like clones/inspired by for plethora of reasons but I think the #1 reason is I know I'm using it to replace something else. Niche fragrances are expensive yes but alot of people keep on buying cheapies after cheapies when maybe they should restrain themselves for a while to get the real deal.
Best case in point is the notorious Aventus, seeing people buy quite literally dozens of subpar clones they could've just get the real deal - 100ml bottles last ages/possibly a lifetime if you have a collection.
Ive been eyeing oud touch because people say it is similar to dior oud ispahan. How do you feel about the comparison?
Its definitely similar! Not quite the same quality though.
What is a good dupe for Bois De Portugal by Creed?
I have yet to find a good one.
Only saying this as a bro. Your set up is visible in the window as a reflection. Keep to good content coming.
Well, you tried to spread The Gospel of Niche, can't say you haven't been giving it your best shot, haaha :D. I'm a member of your long-time converted congregation here, so I'm always going to follow your train of thought and aesthetic direction here, but....I love a bargain too. I find it confounding when a cheaper, mass market designer fragrance performs better than a high end niche house fragrance. It's infuriating. I'd love to know more about the technical side of this phenomenon; why can't they inject some firepower into the niche fragrances to make them have greater tenacity and a more impressive projection?! It has nothing to do with money and budgetary considerations and everything to do with the technical side of composing fragrances: if you can sell a fragrance for 60 quid and have it positively SING off the epidermis then I KNOW it's not to do with pricing of ingredients. Other than that, I know nothing. Is it considered vulgar to make anything other than short lived skin scents in the $200+ price point? I don't get it. What am I really paying for? How are these fragrances actually intended to function, y'know, when you look at them as olfactory accessories and consider how most consumers want their fragrances to work for them after they've sprayed them and left the house?
PS= Halfeti Cedar: your description= SOLD. Will check it out on my day off work next week, sounds gorgeous. I love the original Halfeti but holy smokes, your description of the Cedar version, wow!!
Very well said! I am one that loves the smell of niche fragrances but can’t pull the plug on spending that amount of money, especially on some that their longevity is just sub par for what you’re paying for. Roja Elysium for example, is a beautiful scent and one of my faves, but doesn’t last as long for the price. So we ask ourselves, is it worth just buying for the name or possibly just a little smoother scent , or is buying a fragrance at a fraction of the cost that may smell 75-90% the same but out performs the niche is the best way to go? 🤔
@@martinoquendo4051 Oh, Martin don't even get me started on Roja fragrances and their dreadful longevity and projection. I love the Engima Pour Femme Parfum (not the Essence, the original parfum) and it's priced just under 400 pounds! That's not US dollars, that's in UK POUNDS! And it just dissolves and disappears entirely after half an hour or so. Many people have this complaint against Roja, so I know it's not just me. You have to smash your nostrils right up against your skin to smell so many of these high priced niche fragrances and if that's their idea of 'longevity' they can stick it. Why last for ages on skin as an olfactory shadow, a whisper that lingers but can barely be detected?! That's not the kind of longevity I'm after at that price point, y'know, like some drunk party guest who won't get the hint and go home already, just loitering and slurring and just...being there whilst also NOT being there, if you know what I mean. Hahaha. If you're going to stick around, don't loiter in some insipid ghostly way, really BRING IT, y'know? Longevity at a low hum is a total joke; longevity with some fullness and volume is what I'm after. I feel the same as you about forking out for high priced full bottles and tend to curate a collection very slowly; not cos I'm cheap but because I feel disappointed by so many fragrances when 'test driving them' and not going by superficial first appraisals alone. I'd love to know which fragrance impresses you and gives YOU the longevity and sillage you're after. :)
@@ciganyweaverandherperiwink6293 Honestly, I don’t spend a lot on fragrances. I have plenty of 10ml decants that will last me some time. Unfortunately, I’m like most ppl that have plenty of bills and so forth, so I try to get the best bang for its buck I guess. Little by little, I will have a big arsenal of full bottles which I do have quite a few, but I’m building my collection. As for my fragrance of choice, I have a bunch, but call me crazy maybe, but I have two from DUA fragrances that are called Royal Elixer and Ottoman Drowned in Vanilla that both project heavily and smell amazing. They literally last 12+ hours. I do have faves like Nishane Ani, PDM Layton, YSL Tuxedo, ADG Promfumo, YSL La Nuit De Lomme, and Club de Nuit Intense. As a sleeper for the cold, I like to wear Burouj Perlador, which smells like PDM Carlisle. It will last 15-20 hrs for $50. Some ppl might frown upon wearing a clone or buying decants, but why not have multiple fragrances for the cost of just one? And the funny thing is, is that a lot of clone houses, such as DUA or Alexandria, make their fragrances so well, that their sillage and longevity last way longer than the super expensive niche and some designers and smell almost exactly like the original. At the end of the day, the person standing around you that enjoys how you smell, doesn’t care what house of fragrance that you’re wearing, or possibly know. It’s the experience of smelling good for yourself and knowing that others think you smell good as well is why we all go crazy buying so many fragrances. I’m not a huge frag head yet but I like whatever makes me feel good and I can afford , whether it’s niche or not. 😁
@@martinoquendo4051 Thanks for your long reply Martin. I'm evangelical about long comments and trying to encourage more people not to be shy about letting it rip. Long comments are the way to go; there's plenty of room to flap your wings a few times instead of chirp a couple of sentences through the cage bars. I just don't get this unspoken social media diktat that comments should only be three sentences and two emojis otherwise they're obnoxiously confrontational and self-indulgent. Er, riiiiiiiight. It's fine to interact like that if you're 15 but otherwise...oh dear. So thank you for actually sharing something of value with a definite personality showing through. Even though I am not interested in clone houses, I loved reading your enthusiastic suggestions-- Ottoman Drowned in Vanilla is the best fragrance name I've heard in a long while.
You're right--many niche fragrances seem to underperform compared to designers...but in my experience, that is the minority. Most niche fragrances I've come across WAY outperform the average designer scent. I'd be curious to know which ones you've tried that did not last. And which ones you've tried that do!
Here are some niche houses that are known for their strong performance across just about all of their offerings:
Nishane
Amouage
Unique'e Luxury
Xerjoff
Jovoy
Manos Gerakinis
Parfums de Nicolai
Mancera
Hey, thanks for this video. I really would like to buy the Oud Galore but it is not possible in Germany. So i will try the Oud Touch
Hey Justin..how are you doing
What's your honest recommendation on declaration d 'un soir? I own roadster for nostalgic memories.. but I keep hearing good things about pasha parfum(I love boozy scent and declaration d un soir they say it's similar or in the same vibe as toy boy...what's your recommendation 🤔 😅😅😅 thanks in advance..just to add I just want to know if declaration is still relevant at this time of time
If you love rose, Declaration d'un soir is wonderful. It is indeed in the same vein as Toy Boy, but a little less unusual and perhaps more wearable.
Hello Justin I have a lot of decants of niche fragrances mostly because I just wanted to know what they smelled like and have found several that I really like but for the sake of my pockets I have to decline on most of the full bottles Thank you for giving some cheaper alternatives cause I purchase the majority of my husbands fragrances and most of the time it’ll be a unisex just in case I like it 😁
I hope you can try some of these cheaper alternatives, Debbie!
I have Oud touch and can't dig it. Too much Rose.
Layer it with an Aventus clone. Let me know how it smells.
@@watchandspray Yeah that works. TY.
Watching this and found out another bottle of Hacivat is about to bite the dust..It is one of my signature scents but I think that the bottles or atomizers are not as airtight as they should be..levels seem to drop more than they should..anyone else have or think they have a similar problem with any of there Nishane frag bottles?
Hmm..I haven't experienced that yet.
GREATEST THANKS!!🙏.
Hey bro Justin, great video yep 👍 have you tried Electimuss imperium? It smell like blends nishane Ani and Hacivat yeah and have a blessing week peace ✌️
Thank you brother. I haven't tried Imperium yet!
My man!
Can't wait to smell Oud Galore.
Love these alternative videos
Glad you like them!
Pasha EDT (love this) does not come anywhere close to Bracken Man!
What does smell similar to Bracken is Houbigant Fougere Royale…very, very similar and the latest versions of FR. another which has some similarity in the cinnamon, clove, labdanum, sandalwood is Costume National PH EDP! CNPH EDP is incredible!
As I said in the video, similarity is not the primary goal. Function is the primary goal.
Hi Justin , nice Video and nice suggestions. If you can put your hand on Acqua di Parma Colonia Mirra try it. i think it will make your lists easily
I'll try!
Very Nice Today Justin!
Thank you so much!
Why did Roja remove Oligarch from his website though?
Probably going to try to rebrand it - ‘Oligarch’s’ are corrupt Russians who got rich illicitly, and who hide putin’s stolen money for him. With the current war crimes they’re implicated in, not really what you want your brand associated with!
I guess it's because of Russia's attack on Ukraine as oligarchs are deeply rooted in current Russian regime.
Rusia, this scent was created for Chelsea's ex president I think
Hey! Do you know any alternatives to Halfeti? To the original, not the Cedar.
Chopard oud malaki is a quality alternative.
Have you ever tried Giorgio Black? Great rendition of Black Orchid and is in 20 dollar range.
Haven’t tried it!
Tommy Hilfiger impact and al haramain detour noir are really good layton clones.
Thank you, Justin
Thank YOU.
I pretty avoid all niche I don't have the funds to buy them so I am all ears when someone tells of a less expensive version
For another Layton Exclusif clone you gotta check out Nazar Fragrances. His stuff is amazing. I’ll try Vanilla Oud at some point
I have Franck Olivier Oud Touch and the Oud Vanille. Both of them are really good. I'd like to be able to spend the money on Tom Ford, but I can live with Franck Olivier for now. (Plus, Franck Olivier is niche and Tom Ford is a designer. LOL) I've also heard that Franck Olivier has a new fragrance out that has similar notes to Baccarat Rouge 540. I haven't tried it.
Do you know the name?
@@Olm9hi its called Pure Addiction..Franck Olivier😊
Stopping by to say hi brother

Best 3 tobbaco fragrances according to you.
Le Labo Tabac 28, PdM Herod, Argos Triumph of Bacchus. And there are many more I love.
Uugghh. I know views are higher with these but trading down is a bummer. Ill pass on these going forward but wanted to give you a comment to help with the youtube algorithm.
No need to watch videos you’re not interested in. This is an old video, and this comment doesn’t actually serve it. But that’s ok.
@@stayfreshproductionsI see. It just hit my feed today and didnt notice the age. I watch/listen to yours as they come up in my feed mainly because I like your delivery. I have a 2 hour commute to work each way and usually fill it listening to videos for the day.
Tom Ford and cheap don't go in the same sentence 😂👀
IMO you are out of touch with most people. Most people have other priorities. I really laughed when you said Tom Ford was a cheaper alternative.
Come on man. You already know that expensive/cheap is relative.
And “priorities” can always be remedied by saving. Delaying instant gratification. If you really want something, you can save for it for as long as it takes. Everyone who earns an income has that ability.
@@stayfreshproductions I understand. Not every channel is for everyone. I will stick with my favorites.
Heyoo
We do not mind niche.
We just don't like the price.
Decants! :)
One of my first frags i purchased to start my collection (im upwards of 60 now) was oud vanille by franck olivier and it smelt like deer piss, absolutely horrid lol it wasnt a total loss the bottle was maybe 20 bucks and i gave it to my brother it worked differently on him but ive come to learn if your going oud u cant cheap on it bc if its that dirty ammonia type oud your better off wearing nothing but thats my opinion and im a boob so theres that. Come to think of it now bc of that ive been afraid to buy any oud forward frags since 😭
Oud vanille works on my skin heavenly but you're right it doesn't work well with everyone.
@@darylrichardson76 yea dude deff, way to animalic on me but if it works on u for the price i mean u spend more on starbucks now lol
Lol, right. I've moved away from oud though. It's an acquired taste and it's hot or miss...
@@darylrichardson76 yea its gotta be a real light smooth oud for me to go near it so i feel u
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

If you truly believe this Oud Touch’…is a good scent, then I question your judgement…..it’s a rubbish scent….do you know that?
And please don’t give me the ‘it’s your opinion’ copout.
I can’t believe people actually think they are getting honest and ‘knowledgeable’ reviews. Unbelievable.
Well…”it’s your opinion“. That’s indisputable.
If you go read the reviews for it on Fragrantica, you’ll see that everyone has one. Some of them align with yours, and some of them don’t.
To be transparent, this is an old video. My taste has changed. I like this fragrance, but I no longer love it enough to wear it, which is why you’ll never see it in my recent content.
But more importantly, have you asked yourself why such an emotional response was elicited out of you over such a trivial matter as a fragrance, to the point where you felt compelled to leave a negative comment? Did you feel better after typing it than you did beforehand?
I hope so.
Cheap alternative fragrances are for cheap alternative guys. IJS!
🇧🇪🙏🏾🇨🇩🇦🇴
Franck Oliver Oud Touch has a oud smell… probably a old type of oud perfume typically worn by elderly arabs. The scent note is like the basic level of oud.. very common and old…. Is not a new type of oud…. I don’t suggest to buy it. As it stains the cloth slightly.
It sounds like it’s not to your taste. And that is ok.
stop going on what you like and focus on your audience that don't have the money to buy expensive fragrance.
I believe in your ability to save money.
