How could you not have appreciated such a scent?) 4) L Instant de Guerlain Edt. ( a woman almost ate me once and wanted passionately to know what I was wearing and i didnt even know her) 5) Zino by Davidoff.

Nice recommendations, will have to check out that Armaf Milestone :) About the Hermes, first time hearing about it, will try to sample it. That seems to be just one of some Creeds with quality issues. Agnes Eva (I'm sure many other KZbinrs too, likely) made a video comparing different batches of Aventus (2015 vs 2019), and the differences were staggering in smell and performance. She had each on each arm, the drydowns were so different she summarized: basically two different fragrances. So indeed clones (not just of Aventus) might be more faithful to the originals than newer batches.

However, recently I’ve got Hermes H24, and I think it has some of the Elixir DNA with a bit of masculine twist. Is really amazing and beautiful perfume, long lasting, with a nice transformation through the day. This too could easily be a unisex perfume.

I own CDN Intense. You will need to spray it loads as the smell tends not to last. It does get compliments but need to massively over spray. It does have a slightly synthetic smell, but smells really nice. Not sure if your own nose just cant pick it up when you are yourself wearing it. Any clothes you get it on and go back in the wardrobe. They smell amazing with the dry down weeks later. Don't overpay for it however.
