Another solid review that covers all of the bases.

[@LetsScareTiffanyToDeath]

Thank you for your review! Based on it I changed my mind from Desert Oud to Velvet Intenso!

[@mister-xv5in]

The next day and I'm still smelling Taxco on clothes. It smells amazing and I don't smell a green note (a plus). I have the velvet collection but they just don't last.

[@rogerblakely7453]

Good review. I'm picking up Taxco if I see it in TJ Maxx.

[@WhoCares69]

Maison Alhambra’s The Tux is still the best Tuxedo clone. Very close to original. Lasts about same. Just doesn’t quite have the overall richness as Tuxedo but considering the huge price difference it’s a no brainier!!

[@beesmile8392]

I picked up Taxco and Black Insenso last month, they smell great! They do sit close to the skin after an hour or so, but last 6-8 hours on me. I find the Taxco to be much stronger than your experience, I could smell it on my shirt for days!

[@commonscentsreviews]

Oh wow! Then maybe give it another show. Maybe I just went noseblind super quick 😮

[@beesmile8392]

@@commonscentsreviews Yeah, Taxco is certainly not a powerhouse with booming projection, but it does stick around (on me at least). I think there's a lot of amberwood in it to mimic the ambergris that you find in YSL Tuxedo...and I find that amberwood can be hard to pick up at times. I think it's really good for $14.99, great bottle and pressurized atomizer too!

[@commonscentsreviews]

@@beesmile8392 I sprayed it about 4 times up and down my arm, and sadly it didn't stick too long, at least on my skin. I'm gonna try it again on my clothes. The presentation and atomizer are really nice however!

[@beesmile8392]

@@commonscentsreviews Well, unfortunately it just might not work on your skin...you never can tell until you really try any fragrance. One that never worked for me is Armani Acqua di Giò Profumo - great scent, but terrible longevity on my skin, even tried different batch years, no luck.

[@hc2777]

@@commonscentsreviews Spray it, let it dry really quick, then hit that spot again.

[@McCarthyRay]

I absolutely love the velvet intenso, but the Milestone clone has such poor performance that it would be hard to use.

[@marcialythcott5532]

You give the most amazing, informative
reviews! I learn so much.

[@commonscentsreviews]

Thank you, that means a lot!

[@antonioviana7645]

My experience w milestone, overall is 6/10 ,, not all are spot on, a few are, I rather have fragrance world and Maison Lattafa Alhambra those they truly nail the OGs

[@vettevert5284]

Thanks for the review! It was very informative. I have been looking for the Taxco, but was wondering about the performance. Think I’ll pass, now.

[@tommygunn829]

I just picked it up yesterday don't pass on it.. I tested it out and I get about 6 hours with descent projection . Taxco 👌

[@lboog7778]

Yes, I just copped one from Marshalls. It is an excellent fragrance. Very similar to tuxedo with sneaky longevity!

[@gregorystringer9050]

I have the two velvet by Milestone but not Taxco. I would like to see Milestone's version of D&G Velvet Black Patchouli. I would grab it in an instant.

[@davidmoses76]

I thought that with taxco but do this . Put it on go to bed a smell it in the morning. its still there faint, but there . I went nose blind with it ..... Its not a beast but better than 2 hours more like 6to7 for me that is

[@commonscentsreviews]

You’re totally right. I made an updated top 10 milestone perfumes video, and Taxco definitely will make you go noseblind. Plus I let it sit and macerate on my shelf for almost a year. Now it’s much better

[@BigBusiness02]

This guy is tripping. I've been loving Taxco for about two weeks now. Dries down to a lot of rose but not in a bad way, masculine rose that's darkened by amber. I don't get much ambroxan out of it at all so not sure if his is different or what. And I easily get 4 hours out of it but I'm not a heavy sprayer. Gotta agree, milestone atomizers are great.

[@halfnorfolk5310]

I really like Taxco as well. It smells fantastic and is a dupe of YSL Tuxedo. The only problem I have with Taxco is its longevity. It doesn’t last as long as I’d like it to but it’s great. Along the same DNA, Kismet and the Tux offer better performance as far as longevity goes.

[@marcmccreary6617]

thank you for these videos. been seeing these milestone frags pop up more and more and its very hard to find info on them.
i do wonder if the amazing atomizers are intended to mask cheaper performance issues of these clone scents? since one pressururized "spray" from these things gives out as much liquid as 2-3 sprays from an aversge or crappy atomizer

[@Dj_KingTee]

This is the same house that makes Armaf

[@commonscentsreviews]

I had no idea, wow!

[@chim7741]

To me black intenso is a skin scent from the beginning

[@touheedzaman753]

How about rasasi WISDOM.... Any idea bro?

[@commonscentsreviews]

I haven’t heard of that one before. I’ll have to check it out!
