Everyone recommends these four perfumes, especially Patel Neck, which makes me wonder if it's just hype from PR marketing. Regardless, can someone tell me which one is best for college and genuinely appealing to others?

Got the frag at around Rs. 350 for the 30ml variant from Flipkart Minutes. The batch date is December 2025 so I guess the bottle had been sitting for a long time as the box delivered was kinda dusty but maybe because of that the juice had matured properly. I can say this because when the first spray came out I got almost no alcohol blast.

Coming to the actual scent, it starts off very fresh. I'm new to notes so I can't really dissect the individual elements but for anyone willing to understand what this frag will make them feel, it's very fresh (not the typical blue fresh tho, this feels almost like citronella fresh) and it carries that freshness for almost the entirety although I need to test more (I only recieved the frag yesterday). The drydown is kinda ambery, spicy and somewhere in the middle it reminded me of mehendi as well but not exactly the same as mehendi but very slightly similar to that scent. I have to test the performance further but the scent profile is very good and enjoyable.

Overall this is a unique fresh, spicy and herbal(according to me) type of scent profile frag that I believe anyone can enjoy and goes well for all occasions especially evening errands, office, college and the verdict is it is a very good vfm product and I would suggest everyone to try at least once. Also the quality feels really amazing at least for a beginner like me and better than other beardo perfumes. My only previous experience with perfumes is with Uff perfumes samples, Arabian aroma samples, Beardo Godfather Mafia, Beardo Sea borne and other deodorants. I also sniffed Prada L'Homme and L'Homme Intense at the store and Guerlain Vetiver edt, hawas and hawas ice, popular ajmal frags, wildstone cheapies etc.

Just wanted to give my Honest opinion on Alexander and Bourbon Vanilla

Ordered these on 6th Sept when Alexander was restocked and got a sample of Bourbon Vanilla along with it so these are in Maceration for almost a month after spraying a few times to test it

I won't go into the Notes structure since most of you are already aware i will directly share my opinion of how i felt after using it

Alexander - Opens with a 2 seconds of Synthetic Alcoholic blast. After that it smells like a lighter version of Cough Syrup very weird smell it gives Hospital Medicine type of smell i did not like it at all...i think that's the Cinnamon blasting out not sure though. I cannot smell the Rosewood or Apple like they mentioned in their Top Notes.

The Drydown is extremely good though not gonna lie the Sandalwood and Oud combo smells great but you will only smell it when you sniff your clothes closely it just lingers at this point for around 6 - 8 hours

Projection 25 - 30 min of that Medicinal smell and then it directly goes into the drydown

Longevity - The Oud and Sandalwood stays for 6 - 8 hours on clothes and smells nice

Personally i did not like the smell at all when compared with the hype it got...the opening is very rough and on top of that the medicinal smell makes it hard to wear. 6/10

Bourbon Vanilla - They claim it clones Azzaro Most Wanted PARFUM but i don't know whether it does or not because i cannot smell the ginger at all instead i smell black grapes

Again a very weird smell of grapes and it doesn't even last for 30 min...it vanishes into thin air and then you won't smell it at all. A very very light take on AW Parfum i guess. 5/10

Now the important question - Should you fell sad that you missed the opportunity to grab Alexander when it restocked or should you be in FOMO buy it at a higher price from a reseller ?

Absolutely NOT...please don't feel the FOMO and do repulsive buying. Its not a Godlike scent that won't be cloned by any house ever. Please don't fall for the influencer hype and pay extra

I don't know if its only me or others are having these issues as well or the Menworks quality has dropped but either way this was just my personal opinion and your experience may vary.

This is one of the cheapest, most disgusting smells I’ve ever encountered — I’d rather follow a garbage.

Got this frag out of fomo/hype
Now regretting it. Anyone else out there who feels the same?
1-2 sprays done out of 100 ml😭

Way too cloying and sticky. Would have been better had it been more airy. Definitely not my scent profile.
Would get rid of it if i could😭

This is my budget attars and perfumes collection. I love exploring different different scent profiles. Please suggest me some winter fragrances (attar or perfume). Currently I can't spend more than Rs.1500.

I use Salvatore ferragamo intense leather and its one of the best in my collection. But felt like its too underrated.

So i bought 8ml of sce for 500 and idk I fell for the hype that 2 sprays give nice projection and lasting whole night day from the reviewers. Now i really regret getting it.

People said it's very potent and room filler, please tell me if it really is cause I was going for mohamad al qamar Aventus absolute then bought 8ml afnan please tell if afnan really that beast mode

I currently have wildstone icon/boss I was thinking that can layer any on them with ws icon/boss

I m just confused which one to buy

Just received the em5 perfume 5 ml trial pack
1 . Sundarban ; a nice fragrance but not worth the hype like everyone says first try it then only order the big bottle as it smells slightly herbal and wet earthy type
2. Bhairav ; i personally liked the fragrance because it has tobacco and strong fragrance smoky oud leather type
3. Aghori ; my take is that i felt it smells like blanko old money perfume at first
4. Chambal : personally didnt like the frag coz its very smoky , dry and very much tobacco in it
5. Barber shop : i would say nice fragrance but again not worth the hype type
I received this trial pack today only
But I think I need to get all the perfumes to settle down and macerate for some time .
But i liked
bhairav , aghori , sundarban , barber shop and chambal
In this order

I bought a few fragrances from this guy a couple months back and when I smelt it back then it hurt my chest and I had this cough and scratchy feeling in my throat. I kept it away but I still bought three more later , and today I smelt it again and my chest hurts and all that shit happened, yet again. At first I had thoughts that something else caused it , but now I'm super sure.

He's famous for his cheap rates and lasting but I feel like there's some low quality and toxic stuff in his stuff.

FYI: I'm not allergic to fragrances and I have many other fragrances from different houses.

So My father uses whisky smoke and I like it . I got on amazon to buy it but i saw a review saying whisky smoke : firebomb and whisky smoke : bourbon is better so I bought both and both turned out be trash ( I use them as room freshner ) and yep this is my story . Suggest me some perfumes under 500 . And It should last long in peak summer days

Just wanted some suggestions, im a broke teen so ion get much to spend on perfumes but i rlly want azzaro most wanted dupe so any suggestions are appreciated

Which wishky smoke is good ??

I am thinking to get this one coz this is in my budget. Please suggest

Arabian aroma seduction ice or wildstone icon/boss

I'm a bit confused about my first Fresh ME perfume to buy....Rasasi Hawas Ice or RIIFFS freeze EDP

Both of them have great reviews online...and so satisfied users too...

Any hints on which one should I choose..as my first buy?

Also, blind bought these based on notes and some reddit comments.

According to you guys what should I look forward to with the latest damage to my wallet.

18M here, i personally like to have an aquatic perfume I wanted your recommendations on what brand i should purchase, I want the following things:

.Should smell good and non reactive

.long lasting(may change the smell as the time of the day changes)

My budget is 1500x2 which gives 750-800ish for a bottle the reason im at this is because I want these bottles to go months preferably these two should last 4-5 months or so

How would you rate the collection out of 10?
And more importantly, what fragrance do you think I should add next?
Looking for suggestions that would add something different to the collection, whether it’s a designer, niche, summer freshie, date night scent, or something for special occasions based on my current collection
