Fragrance purchases of 2025 so far
These are all the fragrance I've purchased this year so far
Guess seductive homme(blind buy in blinkit for around 2.5k for 100ml): It opens with a very bright orange note but that disappears quickly into a slightly spicy and sweet amber. Performance and projection are below par so u might need to overspray this one (atleast 7-8 sprays. Overall a great all season night time scent. Very soothing and calming. I sometimes wear this right before sleeping. 7.5/10
Tom ford oud wood (2ml from scentoria for 450rs.) I actually kind of hated this the first time I smelt it(by hated I mean I was repulsed by it) and didn't wear it for a week after that. I decided to give it another chance and I started slowly liking it more and more after every wearing. I can't really smell any oud in this. It's more of a creamy and airy vanilla and slightly spicy woods. Not at all blind buy worthy. A surprisingly Good winter Fragrance. Give it a few wearings before u decide if it's good. 8/10
Mancera intense cedrat Boise(2ml sample from scentoria for 300rs) Opposite of my experience with oud wood. I absolutely loved this the first time I sprayed it. Opens with a bright citrus and leather. The dry down is not good tho. It's like a very yucky fruity/woody drydown which I'm very put off by. Many other people like it but it's NOT for me. 5/10
Calvin Klein defy edp(50ml for 5k at shoppers stop) An amazingly versatile fragrance. Can wear it anywhere from casual gatherings to even formal events. (I wore this for my farewell). Opens with a similar orange to guess seductive Homme. But that quickly disappears into a leather/vetiver combo which is absolutely heavenly. Lasts about 5 hours and projects pretty well. Someone on fragrantica said that this smells like "old money" and I have to agree. It's both mature and youthful at the same time. 8.5/10
Prada L'Homme(10ml decant from scentoria for 950rs): THIS. ABSOLUTELY HEAVENLY. smells kind of similar to dove soap but 100000x more luxurious and better. masculine-leaning unisex clean, floral and soapy fragrance. Very airy and fresh. Has surprisingly Good projection and performance easily lasting 7-8 hours on my skin. Very elegant and versatile. If I find myself going through the decant really quickly I might buy a full bottle. 9.5/10
