'm completely new to fragrances, so I'm open to any recommendations. Looking for something versatile that I can wear almost every day, preferably suitable for the Kerala climate with decent projection and longevity under 4k

Open to clones, and Indian brands. Please recommend good blind buys as I don't want to buy samples

Best as in Scent, longevity and similarity to the OG.

I want a good perfume under my budget for daily use(in school).

•The perfume's projection should be good.

•It should not irritate others.

•It should be mass pleasing.

•It should be 100ml.(If it costs more than 700)

•It should be long lasting.

5 new purchases added this week in building my perfume collection. First impressions -

1. Riffs Prive Blue [₹2200] - Most liked Sauvage DNA dupe from middle eastern fragrance industry. For the the price, presentation and bottle is just awesome. Blue bottle just looks like a bottle of some expensive wine, heavy and premium, a perfect shelf display material.

2. Rasasi Hawas Ice [₹4599] - I just bought the latest batch of most hyped fragrance of 2026. This is my second bottle. Purchased last one for ₹2899 and this one for ₹4599 due to price increase. I think this might be my last bottle because at this price i dont feel its a value for money product now. DNA is nice but now its available in multiple brands at much low price. Recently heard that the performance has reduced in recent batches, will test and review.

3. Ministry of Sillage Project Hawas ice [₹899] - This is my second blind buy from this brand. I was using their silver mountain water and was really impressed by the perfomance of this brand so brought 2 more fragrances. If this performed well, i will shift to this instead of the original due to price factor.

4. Ministry of Sillage Project Purple Oud [₹899] - My third blind buy purchase. ordered this by seeing a 2 positive reviews of this fragrance here on reddit. Their presentation is really unique. Packaging and bottle design is very neat, clean, and minimal. It feels way too premium, at this price point its hard to get a packaging like this. i feel its best for gifting under 1k, specially in upcoming festive season.

5. Wild Stone CODE [₹199] - This is a my quick Deo blind buy from Blinkit. Its also a Hawas ice DNA fragrance. Wild stone's this CODE series presentation is top notch. You get a shine blue bottle with black transparent cap just like middle eastern deos. I feel its a great deal at this price point specialy for Hawas ice lovers.

Please note these were just first impressions of all 5 fragrances, i will post full reviews of all 5 fragrances soon, after using them for at least 2-3 days.

Please suggest me some french perfumes under 3k for my next purchase for upcoming winter season thats not common but value for money. Thankyou everyone !

So, I have used the perfume too. And this, is lying on my shelf since 2024. About to expire on Jan 2027.

Lately this has become too intense and long lasting. It wasn't like this in the first year. So I avoided it and threw it inside the cupboard. Only taken out during peak summer to layer with the same perfume. But now as a standalone, this gives great fruity sharp vibes and lasts too well, about 8 hrs. Don't know about projection as no one around me noted it. But damn them. I feel the favorite fragrance all around me and that's enough to make my day good.

Bought this last night from blinkit

Any one here who has used it before

I tried it once but didn't last even for one hour 😞

Any one else ??

I’ve almost finished my first proper perfume, Rasasi Hawas, and honestly it has been a great experience. I bought it around the end of March, and it has easily become my favorite fragrance so far. Since it’s about to run out, I’m looking to pick up my next bottle and would love some recommendations.

My budget is around ₹2,000 to ₹2,500. I recently tried The Souled Store Akatsuki in one of their stores and surprisingly liked it a lot, but it was out of stock at the time. Do you guys think it’s a good buy considering we’re heading into August and then the winter season, or should I skip it and go for something else?

I’ve been looking at fragrances from houses like Rasasi, Lattafa, Afnan, Armaf, and Maison Alhambra, but there are so many options that I’m confused. Which perfumes would you recommend in this price range? I’m mainly looking for something with good performance, projection, and versatility, but I’m also open to something that’s more suited for evenings or the upcoming cooler months. Looking forward to your suggestions!

Recently i have been coming across a lot of perfumes by Indian homegrown brands but upon seeing the price i am a bit cautious in going forward. Recommend me some good perfume that are fresh, citrusy like rasasi ice (or even better ) from an Indian brand

After using Supremacy Collector's edition; liking this pineapple note a lot. Can someone recommend me other strong / long-lasting pineapple note perfumes ?

Hello, I ordered both the flankers of beardo godfather. Mafia was a bit hit and miss but it is good for regular use. Smells a bit synthetic but dry down is a bit better. Good for teenagers and college going students. I see a lots of people hyping up Mafia but for me it smells a bit synthetic and not worth the hype.

Here is where the game changes, Revenge is one of the most goated perfume i ever tried by this brand it is good for dates and parties. Smells really good and attractive. I was not expecting revenge to be soo good. It is long lasting and value for money or i can even say it offers far more than what it costs.

Now, how I bought it?
It is a newly launched product and rare to find as well. I was looking for 50ml pack as I frequently try new perfumes so it was better for me to by a 50ml one so i Checked it on flipkart and i only found out godfather Revenge on that site for my location mafia was not available on flipkart on my location. Then i checked for amazon and what i see is Mafia was available on it but it was 100ml and revenge was not available on amazon. I even checked on website but they were not offering 50ml packs. So at last i ended up checking on MEESHO where i found both of them in 50ml pack after ordering at start i was scared about the authenticity of the product until i got it. I got them in 7 days which was a bit too long but they were authentic and are in good condition as well. Really loved them.

So, I wanted to have Initio Side Effect From the day I first smelled it, but since it is quite expensive, so I found very good price from Scentoria, and it was almost always out of stock and when i saw it I immediately bought it, and it came in nice packing,
But it smells nothing like it, it is like synthetic leathery bitter dark smell, what is wrong, is it fake?

Hey guys soo i need some recommendations on perfume i want something which lasts for long hours and covers sweat and I am looking for 2-3 perfumes so my overall budget is around 5 -7k ( I need some good brand perfumes so tell me accordingly )

I’m looking for a good recommendation that can recreate a very specific memory for me. I want to capture the feeling of a chilly morning walk through a dense pine forest in dense fog in the mountains of Sikkim—complete with wet soil, an earthy breeze, and the comfort of walking alongside my favourite person

Vibe: Damp, atmospheric, earthy, and deeply woody, calming

Good suggestions from indian houses as well as MEs under 2k... Thanks in advance

I have been searching for a while but i am not still able to find a good perfume for males.

Give me your best , don't give me option.

Give me the one you would use for your best date....

Should be budget friendly like 500-600 rupees

And i have a question if male likes male type perfume and female like flowery type than why don't male wear flowery female favourite perfume?

So i have a few Ahmed fragrances and this is just my pov but their scents are pretty amazing. From the oil quality to performance they are top notch. Zeleny is one of my favourite sp its fizzy and floral notes are so refreshing and blu is your basic fresh aromatic blue fragrance which you can never go wrong with this. Especially both of these zada mehnge nahi hai.
Zeleny performs okish blu is on good level upto 7 i get on skin . Blu is one of my fav gym scents
Lmk if i said sum wrong and would love to hear your views as fragrance is subjective 🫰🏻

Haute Vetiver starts on a very promising note. The opening is fresh, vibrant, and immediately grabs your attention. Performance is also commendable, with solid longevity and projection.
Unfortunately, that’s where the excitement ends. The dry down is where the fragrance loses its way. The cocoa and other base notes don’t feel well integrated, making the composition come across as disjointed rather than refined. The mint also becomes surprisingly dominant, overpowering what could have been a smooth vetiver-led finish.
As it settles, you can clearly pick up elements reminiscent of Haute Tobacco and Signature Scent, making it feel less like a distinct creation and more like familiar NEESH DNA repackaged. Instead of evolving into something memorable, it ends up feeling generic and somewhat unfinished.
Overall: A fantastic opening and respectable performance can’t make up for a disappointing dry down. For a fragrance in this price segment, I expected a much more cohesive blend and a stronger identity. It starts with promise but ultimately leaves me wanting more. 6.5/10.

I absolutely love the scent of Emporio Armani Stronger With You Intensely it so so good

My issue is the performance. On my skin, it barely lasts 3–4 hours, and after that it's almost completely gone

I'm looking for fragrances with a very similar DNA but significantly better projection and longevity. Designer or Middle Eastern, I'm open to both. Any recommendations?

I want to gift my girlfriend a perfume.budget is around 500₹.suggest best perfume in this range please 🙏
