One example i can point out is Mugler Cologne vs Creed Orginal Vetiver. They smell totally identical to me and Mugler Cologne is wayyyyy cheaper..

Escentials is a great place to try fragrances. Whenever i go there, they jus take leave me alone and let me try.

I have them both. Mugler is like a EDT version of OV, but given the price difference, Mugler anytime.

Yet another is Frederic Malle's Musc Ravageur (€125/185 for 50/100ml) vs L'erbolario's Meharees (€22 for 50ml), the resemblance is like Parfum vs EDT, acceptable for the budget conscious.

That's a good strategy for Escentials!
The ability to advance/retreat as needed, giving customer freedom and space to browse, seeking their assistance when they need recommendation. Perfume is an olfactory experience.

Bought club de nuit intense to see how close it is to my aventus. For 20+ it's pretty good. The opening is terrible by dried down musky smell makes up for it. I don't find it a aventus clone since i don't smell pineapple, which is what makes most people like aventus.

I'm assuming u didn't get the smoky batch of Aventus, if u did u would feel that the dry down is 90% similar

It's more of the drydown that reminds me of Aventus, not the pineapple opening which doesn't really linger for long.

Perhaps its a good fragrance nonetheless for a little over $20

How many scents do you guys keep and rotate?

I'm only using only 1, and I find that it's not as strong as when I first started using it, think it's because I'm getting used to it after daily usage

I got close to 400 bottles, can rotate one different one daily. Sometimes you do get immune after smelling the same for long.

It's personal preference to me rather than gender specific, not to mention some perfumes marketed for women smells perfectly unisex. Feel free to share which particular female perfume are you drawn to.

The W version of Club De Nuit Intense, a good clone of Tom Ford Noir de Noir.
