Taboo time (poor man’s edition)
What is the general consensus about dupes?
We all know Zara is quite prolific in producing cheap clone scents that are relatively flat, yet scent true.
I recently stumbled upon a Maison Alhambra line of dupes and by the reviews, they seem phenomenally close to the real deal.
The bottles of their fragrances are ridiculous copy though.

Do you guys know any other dupe producers, to rabbit hole into ?

SOTD: Al-Rehab Dakar (although usually it's Kouros)
I like this one. Got the 6ml roll-on oil. Starts off smelling oily and heavy but in a couple minutes opens up into a fresh soapy greenie. Noticeable basil and pine, smells great. Also picked up some vetiver but it's very subdued, which is the way I like it.
The drydown is great, it has that green marine accord reminiscent of Cool Water or GIT, but it smells smooth and natural.
Sillage is pretty good, longevity is average, getting a bit weaker now after 5-6 hrs. For the price I'm happy with it, it's gonna be good for hot summer days when I can't wear my beloved signature.
I also got Al-Rehab Lord which I briefly tried on a wrist yesterday and I'm afraid I won't have such nice things to say about that one at all, but first it deserves a proper tryout.

Hmmm, i think i'm in love. Sampled Teint de Neige lately. I'm already heavily into white girls, but this scent reminds me of the white face powder european girls used in the Renaissance.

I'm looking for a nice fragrance to wear when I go out. Not especially for class or everyday use since I am heading to vacation now, so something more inteded to wear at parties, dates, and all that.

I'm from Spain and here it's very hot and wet in the summer, and a little less hot at night. I am a big guy, 190cm and pretty well-built, but with a baby-like face.

I sold them on reddit but then I got banned and didn't feel like having to interact with those fags to be able to post again (you need like a month old account, some amount of post karma, and Redditors will sperg if you break the rules or dont format something right), so I started selling on ebay.

Some of you fags need a reality check, you've gone too far down the rabbit hole. You autistically obsess over fragrances and label them as being either good or shit (no middle ground), as being for summer or winter, for this occasion or that occasion, etc. The fact is 99% of fragrances smell nice and for the most part it doesn't matter what you spray on yourself. If you're attractive then smelling good is just the cherry on top (pretty much any fragrance will do). If you're some ugly loser it doesn't matter if you're wearing a ridiculously expensive niche fragrance or a mass-pleasing compliment-getter, ultimately you're still an ugly loser.

I can kind of get that to avoid trolling/spamming, but the formatting shit is just retarded and for some reason the other Redditors are total hall monitors and will get upset with you if you dont format in the arbitrary way the subreddit wants you to. I dont get it at all
