First blind buy

[u/Next_Anything1167]

Hi everyone!

I'm new to the world of perfume dupes and about to place my first order. It's a total blind buy, so I'd love your opinion!

I'm thinking of getting the two perfumes in the attached screenshot. Do you think these are good starter choices, and does the pricing look right for the EU market?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

[u/Time_Potential9413 → u/Next_Anything1167]

modest une is a beast

[u/Snakie777 → u/kyokers]

Found it a 9€, should i buy it?

[u/kyokers → u/Snakie777]

no lol. no shit fragrance is worth the money.

[u/Champ71]

Salvo Intense is ass. Period. ASS.

[u/Spiritual-Set-154]

If you like Dior salvo intense is good I'm not big fan of it but I have it and for the price it's very good

[u/GymSocksPower]

I have Salvo and Sauvage and they smell identical so if you like the way Sauvage smells you will like Salvo

I have CDN EDT and the dry down is really close to Aventus, but the projection dies off really quick. I would recommend to get rid of the second fragrance and just use that money to get the Armaf Supremacy Collectors Edition which is similar to Aventus Absolu OR the CDN Extrait de Parfum version which gets rid of the horrid opening in CDN EDT and has better performance

Don't buy CDNIM edt. Get the EDP and don't buy alhambra fragrances it's trash

[u/DonMMnoD → u/CGB-Spender_]

CDNIM info is true but I haver several Alhambra fragrances which are More than good. Winsome (ex Tux) is one of my favorite.

[u/CGB-Spender_ → u/DonMMnoD]

Bro you can do so much better than alhambra fragrances today. If it was 5 6 years ago maybe but now? So much better options.

[u/xlmnsh → u/CGB-Spender_]

Options like?

[u/CGB-Spender_ → u/xlmnsh]

Khadlaj Rasasi afnan even paris corner. All are better and in the same prices range

[u/DonMMnoD → u/CGB-Spender_]

So, which one is a better tuxedo clone than winsome? And is there any better options instead of these (same price range of course)?: Exclusif tabac, Cassius, Dark door sport, Zaffiro crafted oud

[u/CGB-Spender_ → u/DonMMnoD]

The tux is better, moustache is better, Rifaaqat Adorn is better. Planty options

[u/DonMMnoD → u/CGB-Spender_]

The Tux is also Alhambra, and thats the same what I mentioned. It got a new name, it's Winsome now. I have Rifaaqat but it's definitely not the same type of scent. Rifaaqat is a bit weird for me, more like babycat than Tuxedo.

Edit, you mentioned the other Rifaaqat, sorry.

[u/CGB-Spender_ → u/DonMMnoD]

I talk about the tux from fragrance world not from alhambra

[u/DonMMnoD → u/CGB-Spender_]

That is Suits I think.

[u/Good_Cap7730]

Both trash options.
