EP 54 | BLANKO | DISCOVERY SET OF 8 FRAGRANCES | REVIEW | BUDGET FRIENDLY ALTS |

[@gorohit]

Indian oud smells unlike any of the perfumes I've smelled so far. It might be an acquired taste, cause I like it the least of all these. On the other hand, I'd read so many negative reviews about dusk, that I was almost sure to hate it. However it has started growing on me. Btw, legend smells similar to narciso rodriguez bleu noir in my opinion. I may be wrong. This is a solid discovery set though!

[@ThePerfumeExperience_English]

Indian Oud smells like Blue Oud of IAQ. Dusk is good , fragrances are subjective, so wear it as long as you love it. 😊

[@ganeshpawar231]

1) Does indian oud bother a lot at initial kick? 2) Is that sweet on dry down?

[@ThePerfumeExperience_English]

It’s a mild version of the blue oud, not as potent as OG. Does not bother.

Dawn Reminds me on the old One Man Show from 90's dry down smells like Fennel Seeds (Saunf)

[@ThePerfumeExperience_English]

Oh nice 👌 can try to get that to check though.

@@ThePerfumeExperience_English I've got my Dad's Perfume the new Ones smells a bit different, You need to check with someone who's got the old stock with them.

ibrahim al quareshi's blue oud is a projection monster.the Indian oud has the same projection?and lasting for the blue oud is aprx 2-3 days how does blanko indian oud performs in indian atmosphere?

[@ThePerfumeExperience_English]

Hi .. Indian Oud doesn’t perform as IAQ, about 8 hrs max and then on skin for about another 2-3 hrs at max. But then again huge price difference between the two as well.

[@Thesciboy]

Difference between wild stone code terra and blanko legend?

[@ThePerfumeExperience_English]

Need to check , been sometime .

[@Thesciboy]

@@ThePerfumeExperience_English make comparison please

[@abhinavmaurya2963]

Nice work. How will you compare blanko sports with tygar alternatives, turathi, Theoreme, muzna, yasmin alts?

[@ThePerfumeExperience_English]

Thanks. Definitely cannot be compared to those houses as most of Blanko are not 1:1 clones , they are inspired and in many cases made of multiple frags. But for budget , 100ml at sub 500 they’re extremely VFM.

Great review 🙌🏻

[@ThePerfumeExperience_English]

Thank you!

[@sameermanhas6576]

your fav among all? and which is more long lasting among all

[@ThePerfumeExperience_English]

My favourite is Legend, it’s bang on TDH. Long lasting is Indian Oud.

[@pradeepdharmavaram9260]

Can you pls suggest blind buys among these eight perfume varients ?

[@ThePerfumeExperience_English]

Sport, Old Money, Billionaire

[@ShaswatBagh]

Is legend good for daily uses(night)?

[@ThePerfumeExperience_English]

Yes you can use it

[@8080408729a]

I initially ordered billionaire ,sport,dusk & legend 20ml each People were going GAGA over billionaire as it was considered as clone of creed but honestly … it smells soo generic to me(my father liked it though) & lasting was complete joke.. it hardly lasted 10 minutes on my skin in Mumbai’s summer As per legend is concerned, I’ll prefer my Wildstone terra over it(it’s my evening/night fragrance) Dusk was also not upto the mark I’ll prefer my Wildstone aqua over it(it’s my morning/day fragrance) On other hand “sport” was absolute bonkers Totally Loved the fragrance . Started using it as my workout fragrance It gave good projection & lasted long too. Thus, End up placing an order for 100ml combo of “sport” (749/- for 200ml EDP sounds great to me)

[@ThePerfumeExperience_English]

Thank you for taking your time to give your full review 😀❤️

[@mukeshsharma00007]

Sports is absolutely amazing but have you tried WS code acqua? Just wanted to know your thoughts..if it's better or not than sports

[@8080408729a]

@@mukeshsharma00007 both have different scent profile together Code aqua is more of a luxury,mild,office type no nonsense fragrance (few says it's clone of blue de channel) It's soo smooth that even people sensitive to strong perfumes can wear it. I would say it's blind buy On other hand, Sport is as name suggests, on a sporty side. Definitely stronger then aqua for sure. It's a gym fragrance

[@ThePerfumeExperience_English]

@@mukeshsharma00007 let me try and let you know.

[@jayashiTGUY]

Does billionaire have that smoky birch note?

[@ThePerfumeExperience_English]

Yes not a lot , for a budget it’s a good alt of the CDNIM. You want a good smoky Aventus consider Al Mahams Posideon 2010.

[@sachinkanwat4219]

How close is billionaire compared to cdnim or hamidi?

[@ThePerfumeExperience_English]

About 70-80% to CDNIM, I feel Hamidi is still better .
