The Perfume Thread

[blazin]

Skin chemistry is very interesting.
Me and my friend tested same perfume on skin.
My friend one smells more floral while on my skin smells sweeter.

Elixir is 1 of the best in this lineup.

Somehow there's something very sweet, sticky, and sickening in elixir, like those toilet air freshener type of thickness

I still prefer the freshness and spiciness of the edt

Tompang relative who went to Bangkok to help get this. 1859THB = ~SGD$73.50 for 60ml.

Authentic juicy pineapple right off the opening with the sweetness really dialed up. For those looking at a smokey/woodsy/birchy Aventus batch alternative, this is definitely not it. Overall, very smooth from opening to dry down and no harshness or synthetic smell often associated with Aventus clones and difference in quality is noticeable.

Longevity for me is above average (lasts longer on clothes than skin) but the scent does not really "pop-off". Its more light and airy where you can detect whiffs of it now and again. On me, the scent seemed to become something entirely different at deep dry down where i detect more of vanilla + juniper berries sweetness with a tinge of jasmine.

Judging this perfume by itself, i feel this is by no means a straight clone of Aventus but more of an update or twist version from the same perfumer that created Aventus. Price is ok if you get it from source. However, i think the ratings and hype this is currently getting from certain fragrance sites and communities feels over the top.

Best Aventus alternative? Probably. Exceeds the OG? Doubt so. Mith Mystery for Him is for Aventus connoisseurs specifically looking for that sweet pineapple bomb scent from batches long lost. But if you just want something in the Aventus DNA ballpark then middle eastern clones like Armaf CDNIM gets you 80-90% there and honestly, with better performance to boot compared to Mystery for Him.

What I didn't quite like about Mystery For Him was that saffron/BR540 DNA but for it's price it's good Aventus style frag done by the same perfumer

Hows the longevity for you? I been going light on the sprays so far but from my wearings i doubt doing a few more sprays would increase its longevity and performance. As i mentioned if getting it from source i.e. buying directly from the Mith counters, for $70+ its a good buy. But folks on fragrantica mention they paid around USD$100 from 3rd party sellers and still think its a worthy buy but i don't really agree.

I seem to get at least 10h? I spray around 730am, 730pm still can get whiffs, though granted I spray then put on a shirt so that partially helps

Never really tried spraying on arm to gauge

Fell into the youtube hype trap.
Ordered them both and i believe Nitro white is the better release here.

The Nitro red has that Invictus/ Rasasi hawas style dna with a slight fruity touch.
No more no less. Dont get the strong watermelon note everyones talking about and if anyone has Rasasi Hawas/ Mont Blanc legend spirit, this is absolutely redundant to have. Nitro red is in the same vein of fragrance with that deodorant style dry down + a tiny bit of baccarat rouge.

The Nitro white is sweet (berries) and creamy(vanilla). It opens fruity sweet and dries down to a creamy vanilla + honey with a slight hint of leather . Good as a night time out fragrance. Very long lasting. Still smell it on my shirt in the laundry basket after days. As a budget friendly fragrance, i'd say this is the winner out of the two.

Will skip the red.

Tried doing 3 sprays on my wrist in the morning. 7-8 hours later can still detect a faint smell if i bring close to my nose. Would say longevity is above average although it doesnt really project off the skin,

Was given a sample of Mith Silver Sparkle which suppose to smell like Carolina Herrera 212. Scent wise is pretty nice but no performance at all. Hardly lasted an hour on my skin,
