"Majority of people working in department stores do not know fragrances." I had this exact experience. I went to buy invictus victory as a fragrance newbie. I tried it on and loved it. As i asked the worker for a box, she comes back with invictus platinum. I was like "Uh sorry, i'm looking for the Victory." They said "This is Victory, they both have the V on it." And I replied, "Yeah, but the bottle is the wrong color. It's supposed to be Black not Silver."

The 9:35 - 11:00 "Testers" part is the real gold mine here. I have gone through that whole experience myself and it's all just like you say. My biggest surprise was with Prada Luna Rosso, i even tried it on the skin, but i still made one mistake. After a few minutes on the skin i bought it. Had i worn it for half an hour, i would've realized that this particular fragrance develops a really harsh and unpleasent synthetic smell on my skin. I've never had this before and had to give it away to someone else in the end. But i got Fahrenheit for that and this scent really goes well with my skin. So really 1. thin down your options 2. Try them in person and on the skin 3. walk around with it for some time, allow yourself to forget about it and then "resmell" it after an hour or so

Cdnim is a great scent once you get past the 5 minute mark and I’ve had soooo many compliments on it from women. If it’s a good dupe that smells good, I’m all for it. I don’t need to spend a fortune to trick my brain psychologically. Others aren’t going to know how much I spent. They just know they like it or not.

Too hard for me to do a blind buy in that regard, with no guarantee either I or her will like it enough, not to mention it wouldn't be feasible, from a financial standpoint.

(Yeah, overall the bottle sucks for a few reasons, but you can't deny what's inside.) Of course, it's all subjective to what you prefer and everyone will have their opinions, but I do a ton of research before I buy a fragrance, clone or not, and I haven't bought a bad fragrance yet.
