Blind buy disaster | Worst fragrances in my collection

[@dukeagainsttheodds3170]

You know, I find your gesture admirable.

[@crashnebula7]

Omg you're hilarious without even trying... "This smells like a box of crayons" "This smells like the middle between your fingers" "This smells like funk"😂

[@mr.demond5984]

A lot of clones are horrible just like the niche.It's best to get samples of fragrances instead of a whole bootle

[@CamilleMcCullom]

@@mr.demond5984 I’ve learned that the hard way smh. That’s all I buy now before a full bottle

[@Menruleall]

I blind bought Mercedes Benz Intense, 8oz. bottle and I just never liked it, and I tried to. Had it almost a year. Every time I wore, I liked it less, and wished I was wearing something else. Same with MB Le Parfum. It's a nice leather fragrance, but I got TF Ombre Leather and Le Parfum was out. I also have Polo Supreme Leather. Also, I had MB The Move, which is a really beautiful freshy, but it's too young for me. I'm 51, not 21. So I gave all 3 to my granddaughters father for Christmas. Gave a BIG bottle of Eros to my son. Gave my Spicebomb infrared to my mom, because she expressed interest in it. I replaced all that with 4 Bath and Body Works fragrances, and Insurrection Tobacco & Cognac. Oh, and I got a $15 fragrance called COFFEE DATE from TJ MAXX that I absolutely adore. Man that was a good buy.

[@CamilleMcCullom]

@@Menruleall I like a good coffee fragrance, a lot of ppl may not like walking around smelling like a cup of coffee but I use coffee and whisky body wash and lotion from bath and body works and wear Caffeine Break which is a dupe of replica coffee break. I’m curious if that $15 fragrance is in that realm

[@CamilleMcCullom]

Car fragrances are hit or miss

[@Menruleall]

@@CamilleMcCullom I wish I could find coffee and whiskey body wash and lotion. I ordered Coffee & Whiskey cologne and Leather & Brandy cologne off eBay Monday, in a lot sale. Both for $40. They're not here yet. Those 2 are blind buys, but I've heard lots of good stuff about Coffee & Whiskey. I figured for 20 bucks, what the hell. Never heard of caffeine break. I'd love to try it tho. COFFEE DATE has a peculiar beer/rubbing alcohol scent in the opening. Not bad. I don't mind the smell of beer. I mean, what did I expect for $15. 10 minutes in, that's gone and it becomes a lovely vanilla mocha scent. Oh it is gorgeous! Eventually, it becomes a warm vanilla bean scent.

[@CamilleMcCullom]

@ yea it sound similar to coffee break. A lot of cheapies have that alcohol opening but once it dries down, some are surprisingly pretty good

[@Menruleall]

@@CamilleMcCullom Indeed.

[@oldtimer4888]

Lattafa's Raghba wood intense and Tabac by Maison Alhambra are two more to avoid. KZbinrs will say they're good, but I threw them out.

[@CamilleMcCullom]

You threw out Tabac??!! That’s one of my most complimented flavors!!! What was it you didn’t like if I can ask?

[@CamilleMcCullom]

Wood intense is something different I need to play around with

[@oldtimer4888]

@CamilleMcCullom So, the sweetness from the honey in Tabac was cloying to me because it's just so damn strong. The two I picked up are Rayanne Insurrection II, and Emir Voux Eligante, and they both seem much better blended to my nose. They are Naxos clones.

[@Menruleall]

I have Exclusif Tabac and that is one of my favourite fragrances in my collection. Insurrection II Wild is another banger of a great Tobacco fragrance that I have. Many pellet aren't fans of Red Tobacco. I put it on an hour before I leave the house and I am in love with it all day long. That opening is disastrous, but after it's gone, I just love it.

[@CamilleMcCullom]

The TF tobacco vanille turned me away from tobacco fragrances, I only wear Tabac and every time I wear it it gets better each time. I want to experience more tobacco fragrances as I get older. I feel it’s not a profile a lot of people wear

[@dalitsomwanza7216]

That black mahir in an all black outfit and a leather jacket tho…

[@CamilleMcCullom]

@@dalitsomwanza7216 it’s funny you say that, last time I wore it I wore leather pants. I felt like it fitted at the time

[@ROHAANJALALYT]

I don’t wanna be disrespectful or anything but most of them you showed are for a matured nose. They are more woody, oud and leather, which I am sure if you give it some time, you would love them. Keep them!!! You will change your mind later.

[@CamilleMcCullom]

I agree, they aren’t for everyone, I will give them another try or even test out what they are cloning

[@T-Mac23]

Now do your best ones

[@CamilleMcCullom]

On the way

[@dukeagainsttheodds3170]

RITE!

[@luism8130]

These are all funky clones, just save up and buy real fragrances. Clones are all junk. Specially once your nose matures.

[@dukeagainsttheodds3170]

1st, it's "especially". 2nd You are WRONG, I've purchased indie & niche. Designer AND clones, cut the crap & stop spreading misinformation. For the individuals young in their journey, they need to hear facts! That's only your opinion
