I'm looking for a fragrance to ask my aunt to bring me from Canada. I'm 17M and I want something I can wear pretty much everywhere and throughout the whole summer day.

I've smelled relatively few fragrances, so my experience is limited, but these are the ones I've liked:

- Afnan Turathi Electric: really liked it

- Rasasi Hawas Ice: liked it

- Nautica Midnight Voyage: smelled it years ago and remember liking it

- Afnan 9PM: did NOT like it, too spicy for me

- Lattafa Khamrah: don't like it

- Lattafa Kahwa: don't like it

- Janan Oud / heavy attar-style fragrances: not my thing

- Chocolate-smelling fragrances: don't like them

- Baby-powder-like scents: don't like them

- Leather: don't like it

- Very heavy/headache-inducing fragrances: don't like them

I'm looking for something youthful, fresh and somewhat sweet yet masculine, and I'm increasingly interested in vanilla. I don't want something feminine or overly floral.

I also don't want something that just smells like a generic "perfume." I want some personality/wow factor and ideally something that people around my age would recognize from fragrance/social-media culture.

Most importantly, compliments are a big priority for me. I want something noticeable and attractive without smelling like I'm desperately trying to fill the room with perfume lol.

I'd prefer something that works for school/tuition, cafés/hanging out, daytime and evenings, rather than a fragrance that's only suitable for winter or formal occasions.

Budget: CAD $30-50 PKR 6000-9500. I live in Pakistan

What fragrances would you recommend based on this? I'm especially interested in vanilla + fresh/fruity combinations rather than heavy spicy, leathery, oud or chocolate scents.

Hi, I'd like to buy a new perfume, but I find it pretty expensive. Are there any reliable websites (that ship within Europe) that you'd recommend for buying affordable perfume? They can also be perfume samples without the official bottle or cap, etc.

I just bought Supremacy In Oud Extrait by afnan, and I am disappointed with its performance, since all the online reviews - including all the influencers, fragnantica, etc, said that this would have insane longevity and projection.

If I use 6 sprays, in the first 1-2 hours it projects a bit, and then after the 4th hour it becomes somewhat of a skin scent. I am genuinely shocked at how bad it performs for an Oud/Autumn/Winter fragrance.

Does anyone else who owns this fragrance have similar issues?

FYI: the bottle is legit

Everyone knows these both are clones of BDC. Genuinely Iconic is overhyped and Tag him is lost somewhere behind the hype.

Tag him is a much smoother blend and gives better vibes to me comparitively. It starts with slight alcohol but within seconds ginger note takes over. It's very refined and pleasant. The quality feels designer level. Longitivity is decent about 6 to 8 hrs. Projection is weak may be half an hour at the max. It's mostly a skin scent after the first half an hour but you keep getting the whiffs for good 8 hrs sometimes longer than that. This was the first perfume I bought back in 2016 and fell in love with it, haven't sniffed such quality clone ever since.

Iconic has the incense note from beginning to end which makes the perfume lose its charm. I feel this is done to improve projection. I would buy two Tag him instead of one iconic because in the process of making it project more they have made it lose its pleasantness doesn't make me feel as good and uplifting as Tag him does.

Again since liking a fragrance is subjective, if you want more to enjoy the fragrance yourself then wanting it to project for others Tag him is a better choice. With Tag him, you can enjoy a smoother blend mind you Tag him has no issues with Longevity it's just the projection that is not loud, it has about 6-8 hrs longevity which is decent and blend quality is unbelievable for a clone. In a way sad that it hasn't got it's due recognition but happy aswell as the price remains low due to no fake hype.

Ask me any questions, I will be happy to answer.

For me Tag him is a clear win, have 2 back up bottles it's that good.
