Hello all,
Sorry for the lack of reply, life rather got in the way.
I really only had the Executive and the Old Wood to try.
My fragrance experience is limited so I considered the two scents in relation to two references that I have small samples of already; the Aventus Creed and ADP Oud.
In both cases, I found that the scents were both very close to what I expected them to be. Initial top-notes were less pronounced in the two fragrances under test, the middle was as one might expect but sadly both faded faster than I would have hoped. Although to be fair, it isn't as though we are comparing apples with apples as far as the pricing is concerned.
I usually find that all genuine ADP scents last a remarkably long time.
A really interesting test, I am interested to know what the minimum sales price needs to be for a scent that can compete properly with the originals?
What stops there being really disruptive change in this market?
