ok so they say this is a Delina clone and I do have both and they smell very similar. I won't say it's a one for one but it's an amazing resemblance and for under $40 you just can't go wrong. Simply a wonderful rose scent
I'll start off by saying that it's not an exact copy but i also won't need to purchase a whole bottle of atomic rose now so for less than $30 this is a win all day long. i don't know if it was oud or the incense but whatever that mysterious like darker note that's in atomic rose this fragrance doesn't have that. but the rose in this is just as amazing. I haven't got to give it a full week wearing yet so can't speak to the longevity for most people but the guys I work with said they can still smell it on me after a 12 hour shift
Although the notes don't suggest it, this is very much a barbershop style aromatic fougère.
The woods are soft, warm, and creamy. There's smooth spice from Tonka, and some warmth from the rum, without the boozy hit.
There are fresh aromatic and herbal notes throughout.
Fresh and soft, yet warm and inviting.
Really pleasing scent in my opinion.
Stunning bottle, not so stunning price !
For such a cheap perfume, this offers a really lovely, quality incense and resin bouquet, it's totally unique and doesn't have any scratchy, cheap smelling crap underneath. The only gripe I could have is that it doesn't last too long but for the price I'm happy to reapply. The soapy, elemi opening with its light floral tones puts me in mind of vintage Amouage, like maybe silver man and/or opus I.
For sure a love at first sniff for me. Like putting your face into a tin bucket of iced tea with some freshly cut celery leaves thrown in. Probably the best scent to wear if you want to feel refreshed. People around you will love it. The only thing in my wardrobe that my wife says she plans on stealing sprays of. Exhudes a modest confidence and an approachability lacking in many modern fragrances. Green, a little sharp, juicy, pretty straightforward, definitely worth a full bottle or blind buy I'd say. Mrs. Meyers cleaning products makes a dish soap called "pear tree" that smells 90% similar to my nose. If you love uplifting daytime scents that smell natural, seek this one out. My wife gives it an 8.5/10. (I think Agua Brava is the only one she's ever rated a 10.)
VERY old school
It doesnt get any better for an office or school scent lots of fresh citrus in the opening. Not overpowering or offensive bright fresh clean scent. It's not complex but not completely linear looses some of the citrus but not all of it. I work in a powerplant this isn't gonna choke the guy out beside you. All in all it's my newest go to every day. Usually 3 sprays around the neck and 12 hours later I can still smell it on my clothes at quitting time
I love love love this. This is hands down the most complimented perfume I own.
While I also love Delina, the original, this one is just that little more fresh in the opening somehow. The opening is a little less tart, as it lacks the rhubarb, but the drydown feels almost the same.
Sparkling, fresh, juicy opening, and a creamy, floral, warm and sweet drydown that lasts for ever :)
This is pretty, but for me the dry down is a bit too dry and woodsy. I think it is probably the cashmeran, which is a new note for me.
Phew but does this have staying power! The sillage is moderate, you can easily smell it but not in an offensive way, so good for office I would say. It lingers however to the point where you need to wash your clothes if you want to get rid of the smell in the fabric :D
It starts out as a pretty, my-skin-but-better scent with a musky, but spicy, peppery accord, and as said, a dry/woody drydown.
I adore this scent. It opens with a juicy sparkling mandarine / orange note that radiates pure sunshine and happiness.
Sillage is close, I'd say, it is not overpowering, so this is great for office, very inoffensive. It has staying power too, as I can usually smell it 4 to 6 hour later.
It dries down to a pretty orange creamsicle type of scent: the orange stays but gets softer and less bright, and the musky basenotes come more forward.
I absolutely love this scent, especially the juicy pear in the opening. I could douse myself in it, if it wasn't so expensive ;)
I so so so wish it had a little bit more of a sillage, as it is very intimate. I know it is sold as intimate, so this is just my personal wish. The longevity is moderate, I can smell it on my skin during 4 hours or so. It does morph into a more musky, ambery warm scent with only hints of pear, as the pear is truly a topnote.
This is one of the yummy scents my woman says I own. The silliage is amazing she described it like Pepe Le Pew trailing me around. This is my forever date night scent
Nice amber but it has something in there almost like althair but nothing as sweet it's not in the vinilla but whatever helps make it amber. The silliage is where it's at with this.
Clive Christian knocked it out of the park with this fragrance. The only gripe i have its not worth the retail look for it on discounters or get a decant 600 is just to much for any fragrance
Strong cinnamon over a resinous, ambery base with saffron. Of course, there's no actual oud, but it's a lovely perfume, and quite different to the other MFK "ouds". After an hour this is leather. But not Tom Ford leather, this is realistic, worn Moroccan or Italian leather, like a bag bought from a souk that lasts for decades.
Picked up this from TJ Max for $12 and I'm blown away by how good it is. If you like the old school barber shop scents this is pretty damn good. For the price it's a blind buy I'm really liking. Lots of citrus and musks but not like lemony citrus more of a fresh take. I can't stress enough how impressed I am for a $12 fragrance
Great discontinued fragrance, a more mature take on the DNA.
Beautiful fragrance, A classic for a reason, a fruity pear and vanilla fragrance.
A Rebours is a scent I expected more from if I’m being honest, given the extensive and complex note breakdown. And whilst it’s not unpleasant by any means, it just comes off rather simple - leaving me wanting more. I should be clear in saying that this is not animalic, in any sense - I’m not sure why these notes are even listed when in fact it’s very easy-going. It’s a sort of fresh-metallic violet leaf paired with bitter-green florals and a soft soapiness, alongside a gentle whisper of leather and cumin. It’s not unpleasant as I said, it’s rather nice if anything. But it doesn’t stand out as anything special for me, I was expecting a lot more especially considering how unusual and unique the bottle is.
Intimate is a befitting name for such a sultry and suggestive perfume, a gloriously gentle musky floral, with pronounced elements of Chypre. An array of blooming white florals, namely jasmine, basking in sunny aldehydes greet you upon first spray. These shimmering florals are paired with a delicate creamy warmth through sandalwood and orris. Despite this, a punchy note of oakmoss bolsters through, which is intensely green and archaic - before developing a lustrous base of musk. This scent masters the enticingly dramatic dichotomy of delicate femininity, with primal sexual urges. I’m shocked it’s taken me this long to discover this beauty, but I’m hooked; I definitely need to find myself a bottle.
1740 is my first experience with the house of Histoires de Parfums; a wonderfully surprising woody leather scent with some unexpected oriental facets. Initially it opens rather bitter and harsh with a pronounced rindy bergamot and herbal artemisia, though it soon becomes much more inviting. The dry, vegetal nature of immortelle is paired with a beautifully thick, almost sappy leathery labdanum. This dry woodiness is furthered by an earthy patchouli, contrasted by the inimitable warmth of cardamom and creamy coriander, with just a touch of sweet vanilla. It’s magnificently complex. It has elements of classical chypres and orientals, combining characteristics of the golden age of French perfumery - but elevated to something slightly more contemporary and unique. This scent has really taken me by surprise, I think I adore it, and I’ll definitely need a bottle.
Sunny Day in Paradise
When I close my eyes, I imagine myself taking a dip in the cold sea in a sunny paradise. Coming out of the water and feeling the breeze on my face, I head towards the sand to drink my drink. That's the feeling! Perfect.
I was eager to try this perfume because of the combination of its notes. I had never felt this more "salty" aspect in a perfume. A very good perfume, I really liked this more marine and fruity touch. Right at the top, that salty sea aroma stands out, accompanied by citrus notes of lemon, bergamot and mandarin. During the drydown and evolution, the aroma remains clean, already pulling towards a much more sophisticated side due to the musk and the iris note. I was really impressed, I really liked its proposal and its balance.
Testing it in my decant here, the performance is actually "ok", considering the Creed house. But let's be honest, it could be better. Projection of 1 hour and fixation of around 6-8 hours, with a few good sprays. It really is a very different marine/citrus perfume in my perception. It is definitely worth trying.
For me this has a spicy, oceanic cola vibe to it.
With almost a faint tobacco vibe behind it.
Now that sounds a little weird but this fragrance has a class to it for sure..
I could easily wear this out on date night.
great aquatic fragrance. Popular for a reason!
Very aromatic, fresh woody fragrance! Amazing performance and great compliment pulling fragrance!
Very soft clean floral citric fragrance! Perfectly unisex!
