Not many people have mentioned it but Nitro Red and Rasasi Hawas smell extremely similar, especially the dry down which is almost 90% similar. Wish that watermelon note at the top in Nitro Red lasted longer, on my skin it lasts barely 30 seconds. I'm going to have to check out that watermelon jolly rancher fragrance you recommended. Prolly nice layering with the Nitro Red

Stumbled upon your channel and instantly subscribed after seeing your comments on Batikh and the Dumont for which I don't need repeat fragrances that are the flavor of the month I have Rasasi Hawas Ice and 2 bottles of Rasasi Hawas which have the banned ingredient Butylphenyl Methylpropional in them and they are nuclear looking forward to watching more of your content

Imo. Nitro White a better fragrance then the Red . A more mature, creamier version of the Red , and in the mid and dry down adds honey, a bit of leather , and a vanilla note in the dry down .
@GrimG814 ай бұрын
Thanks for the feedback. There is something off putting with the red. The white definitely sounds a lot better but I'll have to look into what it's supposed to be cloning. Does it still have that invictus aqua type DNA because I think I discovered I'm not really a fan of it.

I can respect your opinion. I'm not a huge fan of the DNA and I was expecting more og a juicy watermelon. I might have a bad batch or something though because I just get a slight hint of watermelon and it almost smells like the watermelon went bad. It's a little off putting for me. Longevity and projection ate both there though and can't be beat for the price. Thank you for stopping by I always appreciate the feedback.

I agree with you! Wat too much over hyped stuff in 2024! it is strong and does last long time but that watermelon is so sythentic, I did not like. Hawas is better but not all that either. Liquid brun a clone of PDM Althair clone, so good, so beautiful, lasts all day on skin, last all week on clothes. smells expensive, rich and high quality! best purchase in 2024!

So many things these days smell like so many other things these days. I'm 58 and I don't mind the Invictus aqua DNA and things. One of my favorite ones that carries that sort of DNA is dunhill icon racing blue. But one or two of those type of fragrances is all that you need.
@GrimG813 ай бұрын
@ThecrosseyedTexan I agree to a point. That DNA is very popular for sure I just think it might not be for me but scent is subjective. I love gourmands and I heard someone say I already have a sweet fragrance I don't need anymore. That's definitely legit but me personally I love the different scents of all my gourmands. As far as that aqua DNA though I don't know how many different variations of that would make sense. Thank you for stopping by I really appreciate the feedback. I only have 1 from dunhill I think it's Egyptian smoke. I might have to look into the line a bit more. Stay blessed brother.

I own both, and honestly, they smell cheap! Once they dry down, they even have a makeup-like scent 🤮. And NO, NITRO doesn't smell anything like a watermelon Jolly Rancher-those claims are pure lies. People who say it does clearly have never had one and are just parroting what they've heard to get more views. Both fragrances have a very cheap smell...
@GrimG813 ай бұрын
I agree. Only reason I bought the nitro red was due to the watermelon jolly rancher claim. That batikh though is better in my opinion and truly smells like a watermelon jolly rancher.
