Anyone interested in a fragrance test?
I have been chatting with a fragrance producer in the UK who , let's say, takes his scent inspiration from well known expensive perfume houses. He is going to send me some samples of his wares which I want to send out as a pass around to see what you guys think. Anyone interested?
It will work similar to the pass arounds we have going for razors and blades. Add yourself to the list, try out the samples, post to the next on the list and so on.
After you are finished then give us your thoughts on here. I will try and post a list of fragrances that are being sent as it will be useful if people also know / own the original. You don't need to own the original or be a fragrance guru to take part though.
Here is a list of what he has for sale: https://copycatfragrances.co.uk/collections/male

  1. Wayne Pritchard
  2. Morticiaskeeper
  3. globalm
  4. GordyC
  5. fly3k
  6. Antonio
  7. BillS
EDIT - Russell removed from the list as he has bought a sample pack. Remaining samples currently en route to Paul (Morticiaskeeper) who will pass to GordyC when done.

These arrived with me today. I'm not sure if some have taken a bit more use or if they might have leaked. My hands smell of TV so think that may be leaking. I'll come back with further thoughts once I've tried them but the Oud Intense is an initial favourite.

Yesterday I used the executive sample which is based on Creed Aventus. I used about five sprays in the morning and it was ok at first and pretty close to the real thing but I found it didn't last all that long and was gone by lunch. Pretty disappointing. I've got a few other Aventus clones such as Armaf Club De Nuit Intense Man and L'Aventure. I also have a perfume parlour copy which is good too. The best clone I have tried so far is the CDNIM which lasts all day. Considering the cost of the copy cat clone CDNIM would be my recommendation as it is about £25-30 for a 105ml bottle.

Today I've just put on a few sprays of the Oud Intense. Smells good so far and I hope it lasts longer than the Executive.
