One of JPGs better fragrances, I prefer this to the Le Male Elixir, but not as much as Ultra Male. Definitely a scent heavy on vanilla nd spice, I wouldn't recommend this for closed quarter office settings. Decent staying power. Definitely worth adding to any collection.

While I do offer a couple of comps to this fragrance, there really is no substitute. Sauvage Elixir gets a lot of hate for being overused, but there is a reason that it has been so popular. This is a great cologne. Manly, spicy, musky...the sillage is great and the longevity is outstanding. I've worn a number of colognes, both designer and niche. This is the only one that I've been complimented on. So, yes, I will praise this cologne as the GOAT.

Saying that Winners Trophy resembles Valentino BiR Intense may be a bit of a stretch. But, there are some similarities between them. The biggest differences would be the earthy and powdery notes that Valentino adds to round out the fragrance. At its price point, you can't beat Winners Trophy. But, for a little more, I would recommend BiR Intense. You won't regret that purchase.

Haltane is one of my top 5 fragrances. This is definitely a more mature cologne, I'm not sure how much a teenager would enjoy this (I may be wrong). The praline addition is what separates this from its dupes. A nice blend of woody oud and leather, tis is a year round fragrance for me.

Herod is an amazing scent. A subtle tobacco note under a warm amber/woody scent that is very appealing. I won't fully accept that Hercules by Maison Alhambra is a 100% match, but it is a solid substitute for the cost savings. Herod is simply unmatched in the depth of aroma that you get upon application.

Mancera is just known for beast mode fragrances. Amore Caffe is definitely one of them. This fragrance has both lasting power and sillage that are unmatched. While I wouldn't necessarily recommend this scent for confined office spaces, I say that tongue-in-cheek, as I will wear it to the office. The only comparison I could make for a cheaper option would be Tiramisu Coco by Zimaya, and they aren't really all that close. You can find Mancera products on discounters occasionally for a very affordable price. Considering that you only need 3 sprays of their scents, it's well worth the money.

Similar to Percival, in that no new ground is being broken with the scent profile, Layton still delivers an extremely solid every day scent. A nice mix of peppery spice, vanilla and green apple, this fragrance can be worn every day. Solid lasting power. Again, with PDM, the only drawback to their fragrances is the sticker shock when purchasing.

While it's not a hugely unique scent profile, Percival delivers a solid mix of common scents blended nicely for a solid everyday fragrance. While you can likely find a similar scent profile for far cheaper, PDM just knows how to blend these notes perfectly.

Only lacking in the vanilla and powder notes of Tom Ford Oud Wood, this fragrance hits the woody oud scent that you are looking for. The smell is very good, not too cloying, and lasts for a solid 8 hours on skin and clothes. Solid choice for those who prefer manly scents.

The Most Wanted has rapidly crept into my top 10. This scent profile is amazing. The spice is smooth. and the sweetness of the caramel mixed with amber is intoxicating. Not a cloying fragrance at all, even doing up to 8 sprays. I would say this is a step up from The Most Wanted EDP, but not by a lot. Both are worth getting in to your fall/winter rotation.
