Let's talk Cologne

[CrypticZA]

compare to lattafa or others ?

I have Ramz Silver from Lataffa and i much prefer Lion.

Ramz for me all i smell is a linear sweet lavander and from the get go it only really has that one smell and doesn't develop.

I get a decent 8 hours from it but Lion for me smells a lot better blended. With all UAE stuff i buy, i spray it like 8-10 times then let it sit for a couple weeks so i have not worn Lion yet other than the first day i got it (got 2 compliments that day). I am wearing Obsidian today to work and got multiple questions what i was wearing and a "you smell nice".

Sprayed it 6am this morning 6 sprays and we now at 14:30 and its still going pretty good. Its a bit of a skin scent but i am still often gets wiffs of it.

I have not compared them with anything else but enjoying the Rayhaan stuff

I do not get many either to be honest and i wear it more for myself. I feel more confident if i know i smell nice.

They often do a 50% off a lot of the stuff and if you get lucky there is an extra 10% at 6 or 7pm.

Pacific Aura was like R374 the other day. Very nice smelling apricot scent.

apricot ?

its more a pacific chill clone and i got jean lowe vibe which is also a pacific chill clone and there is alot of citrus like full on orange/mandarin mint smell ...

if you want one that last the whole day .maison asrar vision but its around R1k ..jean lowe is around R500 and now if pacific aura is around 375 then more worth it

To my nose and my moms we smell quite a bit of apricot. I wore it to gym this morning and its a fruity smell and smells nice but i get like no minity smell from it. I have looked at the notes on Fragrantica and it doesn't list Apricot even but both our noses maybe associate that smell with a sweet fruity Apricot lol

I had a look at their stuff and Perfumology i think they called and their prices are too high for my liking, i have to spend R900 for free shipping and for 1 unit i looked now R360 + shipping. A lot of the clones you can get a decent Dubai one for that price and even cheaper. There are lots of companies buying the raw fragrance oils then they just mix the stuff up themselves and they a lot cheaper.

I also bought one of these cheaper local ones and it was like 90% alcohol and by the time i walked out the door the smell was gone... Complained and left a bad review on their site and they deleted it and ignored me...
