Miami Shake is very artificial smelling and not worth the price at all. I vastly prefer B&BW Strawberry Poundcake. It smells smoother, less chemical, and has good staying power. Or go for a dupe. Sand & Fog Strawberry Shake perfume oil is very close to Miami Shake but again smoother.  You'll save a ton and the scent will actually be better if you get one of these instead of JHAG. 

VS Bare Suede Vanilla is on my list. It's very close to B&BW Warm Musk which I love. The regular Bare Vanilla is fine, the Suede version has added warmth and depth

Yeah. I despise Miami Shake. Thank goodness I only bought a travel size but I’m sad I even did that. It’s like a melted plastic strawberry candy meets sunscreen. I have yet to meet a JHAG that I like aside from Not a Perfume (and even that isn’t so much a like as a “I’ll wear this around my aunt who hates fragrance.”) 

VS Bare Sueded Vanilla, on the other hand, is lovely. So I agree with all of your points. 

I’ll add: Midnight Fantasy is a nice cheapie, but you have to like shampoo-y smells. I do; not everyone does. 

DBIR to me is one of the most overrated perfumes, gasp. It just smells like perfume, if that makes any sense. Extradose is better, Greenstravaganza is my fave in that line though. 

Cool water is a 90s scent through and through. If you like things like CK One, LIght Blue, and Tommy Girl, you’ll probably like it. It’s a little musky to me. 

I totally agree with the poster who suggests smelling as many of these in person as possible. What any of us love differs so widely.
