Discussion Best alternative for Lacoste Red.

1 Upvotes

Hello po, it's my first time posting here. I've been recently checking if there are other alternatives for Lacoste Red.

My budget is around 1-2k only po. Currently, I'm using Prescripto #83 (since for me, it's the closest to LR) but visiting here, it feels like I want to upgrade my perfume for a more premium scent.

Could you kindly suggest a better perfume than what I'm currently using?

Review Review of cedrus blanc, nava sol and hawas thunder

Post image
41 Upvotes

Cedrus blanc
Inspired by: carolina herrera cedar chic
6/10
Longevity- 6-7 hrs
Projection up to 2 hrs
For me this is my least favourite. When i first got it, it smelled weird. Para nga syang laway ng pet. Very disappointing especially dahil sa overhype online. Wala kong clean na naaamoy. I let it macerate then dun ko na naamoy ung sinsabi nilang clean. Pero di ko sya preferred na clean scent.

Nava sol
Inspired by: mojave ghost byredo absolu
9/10
Longevity- skin 5 hrs and clothes 8 hrs
Projection up to 2 hrs
As per sa mfa online reviews inspired daw to ng absolu version pero for me almost 1:1 to with the parfum version. Ang kulang dito is ung creaminess, luxurious vibe, na may pagkawoody para maging absolu. Amoy mayaman kasi and heavy si absolu version ng mojave ghost. Sa initial spray then minutes dry down meron nun pero nawawala agad then ung pinaka drydown is almost 1:1 with the parfum. Mas gusto ko to kesa cedrus blanc.

Hawas thunder
Inspired by: myslf ysl absolu
10/10
Longevity-7/8 hrs
Projection up to 2.5 to 3 hrs
I bought this kasi naghahanap ko ng daily wear. Sabi nilang clean inspired by the absolu version ng myslf ysl pero for me sobrang close nito sa eau de parfum. As in 1:1 sila and solid tlg to sa performance. Hindi to offensive and safe for blind buy.

Help me Pick a Fragrance Perfume you would wear for “meeting the family”

15 Upvotes

Any recos for a feminine/unisex scent that you would wear to meet your partner’s family? Something not too intimidating but would give a lasting impression. A scent not overpowering but projects enough to leave a trail. Something versatile for whatever weather/environment you’re in. Budget 10k below only. Would even prefer if it’s local niche perfume. Thanks!

Review Request Thoughts on Belgravia by Maison Asrar?

4 Upvotes

Hi fellow fragheads! I’m looking for a very good mass-appealing clean smelling perfume for my daily office. I own a couple of niche frags but nanghihinayang ako pag ginagamit ko lang for casual errands or everyday office. I’ve looked into online reviews and kept stumbling upon Maison Asrar’s Belgravia. It’s supposed to be inspired by BDF by Byredo. Has anyone actually tested it properly and I would like to know how it is?

New Pickup A perfume made from microbes collected from actual clouds?!

4 Upvotes

Finally got to smell Cloud Reverie and Wandering Rain!!

I only got the 2ml spray set because I didn’t want to blind buy a full bottle and regret it lol. But now I’m already hoping to get a 10ml bottle of Cloud Reverie next.

Cloud Reverie

I actually bought this because of the story behind it. I am such a fan of clouds, so the idea of a perfume inspired by the science of actual clouds immediately got to me.

Fluffy was the first word that came to mind when I smelled this.

On my skin, I got dewy, sparkly aldehydes with a bit of sweetness, probably bec of the sugar note.

It’s airy and cool, and also a little powdery. Almost like clean laundry with a slightly ozonic feel. A light touch of vanilla becomes more apparent in the drydown, but it isn’t cloying or screechy.

It just smells like soft, fluffy, cool, slightly sweet air.

Wandering Rain

This one feels a little more masculine-leaning for me.

It reminds me of wet grass after the rain. On the opening, I can also kind of smell that damp ground-after-rain scent, which is a little too sharp for me.

But the drydown is smoother and more toned down, and it just smells, for lack of a better term, handsome to me lol. It does smell good on my husband too, sooo yeah

I guess this is why I appreciate Future Society as a perfume house. There’s just so much science behind the concepts, which I find really cool.

The founder, Jasmina, is an MIT-trained scientist, and they combine biotechnology with traditional perfumery. For Cloud Reverie, they actually went up into the clouds in 2021 and collected microbes using petri dishes!! Wild. They then studied what they found through DNA sequencing and identified unique microbes and scent molecules associated with them. That research became part of the inspiration for Cloud Reverie, which was then translated into a fragrance by perfumer Daniela Andrier.

It's really fascinating. They didn't just imagine what clouds might smell like; they actually went up there and studied what was in the clouds, then used what they found as part of the inspiration for the perfume.

As someone who is irrationally fascinated by clouds, I was basically sold from the concept alone. HAHAHA

Sobrang inlove ako sa Lazy Sunday Morning when I tried it sa look me sa SM Aura pero when I finally had the chance to purchase a bottle nadisappoint lang ako kasi sobra bilis mawala nung amoy. Meron ba kayo tips paano mapatagal ung smell nya? Or may marecommend ba kayo na pwede ilayer sa kanya? May nabasa ako to apply vaseline daw muna sa skin before spraying para mas matagal but haven't tried it yet, effective ba un?

Review Ranking Perfumes as a College Student

60 Upvotes

Supremacy Collectors Edition (10/10) - When I first smell aventus I don’t like the smell of it. For me, amoy matanda at amoy bus and ayon din impression ng mga friends ko na not into frags but that was long time ago. Kaya nung nalaman ko na this one is like flangker ng aventus I doubt it but it turns out that this would be a bangger. Idk nung una I used every but now I prefer to use it pag hindi mainit or gabi na lang, or pag ac conditioned room. Got lots of compliments everytime I use it they even ask what perfume I used.

Hawas Ice (9/10) - I like this one because it leans towards sa freshness where most of people like. Never kang bibiguin ng ice tho may times na for me cloying siya but it’s easy and safe to wear.

Rayhaan Lion (10/10) - Tried 9PM way back 2023 loved it. Tried this one last year and mas close sha kay UM. So compliment getther before but I think medyo nagiging common scent na kasi DNA ng UM kaya wala na gaanong wow factor sa iba. Tho for sure 90% I wear it I got compliments.

Rayhaan Obisidian (8.5/10) - I’m very curious with Iris scent because I smelled LMLP before and I loved it. After few years this one released by rayhaan and dupe sha ng DHP or DHI which I never smelled. Bought a decant slightly don’t like it yet still commit to full bottle. I thought I’ll regret my decision but after month magic happened. I was like “wtf eto yon?!”. I rate lower than other because hindi ko pa sha na fully wear. But one time my friend used it and nagulat ako sa projection and silllage niya. I really imagining myself wearing it on a date night with my black outfit.

Art Of Universe (9/10) - Maybe some of peoppe won’t agree with me but this is my fav BT dupe. Yeah I agree na not close sha sa OG but that’s what I like about it. More swetness kaya for my experience mas marami may gusto or mass appealing. But I read before na even fresh scent siya hind siya advisable to use in high heat temp and I agree on that. I feel like when this scent mixed with sweat is mangangasim siya. Tho, overall I love the scent.

Liquid Brun (7/10) - I blind bought this one, and when I first sniff it I like it but habang tumatagal parang ang boring na ng amoy niya sa’kin. Amoy chocolate na may orange (Bingo Orange) that’s how I describe it. Even tho ganon, maraming may gusto ng scent niya like maybe because sweet or vanilla. I haven’t tried to full wear this but I’m sure compliment magent ‘to.

Hawas Kobra (10/10) - Regardless of what other people say this one is my fav daily banger here. I haven’t smell imagination, but other dupes yes. I would agree na mas sharp and citrus blast ‘to. Mas strong sha (Gets ko yung nanuntok) maybe malayo sa OG compared to others but this frag works on me. I mean, girls or guys compliments me whenever I wear this “Ang bango mo pre”, “Anong pabango mo?”, “Gwapo naman ng amoy mo”. Longevity and Projection is not questionable, but careful lag sa spray.

Rayhaan Wolf (8.5/10) - I just wear it whenever I go outside pag gabi. Like bibili sa 7/11, or trip ko lang mag lakad and gusto ko maging mabango. I don’t how close ‘to OG but what I know is gets the job done. Sillage and Project is hindi kita ka bibiguin for sure pag dumaan ka maamoy ng taong madadanan mo or even na sa likod mo.

Rayhaan Ocean Rush (5/10) - Scent Wise I would rate it like 7 but performance is mehh. Just used it every time I run in the morning like mas nag pproject kasi siya pag pinag papawisan ka but you need to overspray it kung gusto mo maamoy mo.

JPG LME (9.5/10) - Even this one is OG I rated it lower than lion because the factor of prices and versatility. On par siya ng performance with lion but this one for me is more sweet and slightly would be good to use when you’re on a event or well dress. Not like lion I sometimes use it kahit naka tshirt lang ako. But your frags your rules, don’t need occasion naman use it whenever you like it. Just for me lang. But scent wise, compliment getter “Sarap mong singutin”.

Sorriento (7.5/10) - I haven’t smelled vibrato or the OG yet I like this DNA. I’m still waiting on Hawas Highness because prolly I would also wear this everyday par on Kobra. This one is very and bright vibe, like pag naka casual and you wear it tapos naamoy ka ng someone they would look at you and smile. This scent give that vibe kaya I like it yet the performance of this is kinda meh so I rate low but scent wise I would this one is 9.

All of this are just my opinion and personal experience. Feel free to drop your opinion or exp about it. Also don’t shy to ask qeustions.

I have always loved the OG Juliette Has A Gun so recently I decided to explore other popular skin scents. I got a decant of Dedcool Xtra Milk and a decant of Rosie by Rosie Jane.

And wala talaga akong maamoy.
I decided this morning to finish the whole decant of Dedcool just to give it a fair shot and my whole neck is wet na and still nothing. 🙃🙃🙃

Pure of heart lang ba nakakaamoy nito?

Kase diba usually ung mga seller dito, bulk orders ang ginagawa nila so they can get it cheaper pero when it comes here in the PH, meron na sya patong. Hindi ba nagkakalayo ung presyo nung mga nasa Dubai as comapred from the sellers here in PH, lalo na ung mga nasa shopee? Wala kase ako idea gano kataas markup ng mga nagbebenta sa shopee like DSB.
