Solid blue smell, seems like a great office friendly choice and has a great dry down.

I am not a huge fan of green scents. I blind bought a bottle of Atralia Absolute Chill and it smells awful to me. I can see some of the appeal in the dry down, but it just smells sour and gross to me. Aether was better...but still not it... I smelled this though and I think this may be a full bottle contender!

Has a masculine like spicy, creamy...cookie? scent that is just enjoyable.

To me this was the clear winner but both had a similar vibe but idk this is a little more...creamy? suits my tastes more.

This has the CDN feel but def a different flavor from the Intense man.

With the over saturation of “Hawas” fragrances, it’s easy to overlook what got them here in the first place. Hawas, the original, Exceptional warm weather sweet aquatic that lasts all day. This is the perfect time to rediscover this classic Rasasi did Invictus Aqua before Rabanne’s version hit the market, and they did it stronger, fruitier and cheaper! Don’t be afraid to look back at a 10 year old fragrance, This is timeless for a reason.

Very masculine

Smells great, fast and prompt processing

This is Armaf’s answer to what would happen if you met somewhere in between Aventus and Absolu Aventus. Hyper fruity opening, kinda similar to Nitro Black, then it eases into an AA adjacent vibe. Not spicy, but smooth and deep oakmoss like Hawas Black. As it finally settles there is a sweet powdery base that carries it home. To me this leans more Aventus if you completely stripped away the birch. I am a fan!

A gourmand for people who don't like gourmands. Full bottle worthy. Banana tropical punch, but not cloying or rotten. Fresh and sweet, a hard combo to pull off.

Just very well done, very nice profile, spicy tobacco.

Some may describe this as cherry-tobacco. There isn't an actual cherry accord. Instead, the spice and slightly sweeter elements smell somewhere in the ballpark of cherry, but it's not a fruity cherry. Not too sweet and not heavily spicy. Woody and creamy at drydown.

BR540 is a very controversial profile, so one needs to sample clones/twists first to figure out if they like it or not. This is a nice twist. It is less sweet and way less cloying. It starts drier than expected and a little soapy, then ends up a very light and balanced. It is on the weaker side.

I'm giving this 5 not because it's my favorite or because of the hype, but due to the fact that this really is a unique and well-done twist. The lavender is done right, the plum note is nice and worth a try. And the other woody and herbal notes blend very well.

This is a tricky profile. I've several dupes, and this is as good as this profile gets for the sort of nutty-floral-vanilla to work.
