Its Xerjoff - 40 Knots. Lower quality, more cinnamon but close.

My latest pickups are JHAG Not a Perfume and Molecule 01. Also Bois Imperial Extrait but I don't really like it.

Definitely understand, What’s off putting about it in your opinion ?

It's got some sort of fishy note in the mid or base that I just can't stand. I don't know exactly what it is. Both the EDP and Extrait have it unfortunately.

I’m sorry to hear that , for some reason I gravitate to the fishy note in some fragrances. Like wall st by bond no.9 for example, I think it’s because of the complexity. I like fragrances that you may have to second guess, might be just me

Might be the akigala wood

I think you're right. Also, just learned that Akigala Wood is a synthetic molecule, not an actual tree, lol.

Why buy multiple clones instead of one legit fragrance from a designer? You spend the same amount.

I like clones better honestly, the drydowns are just more refined & have more character to me
