  1. Opened today, 10th May. Strong alcoholic opening that lasts about a minute. It’s like half of CDN Intense. Rich citrus with a woody base. Once dry, it smells very much like Biografia Encontros de Natura.

  2. Excellent copy of Montblanc Explorer at half the price. The opening is slightly more alcoholic, longevity is lower, and once dry there’s less wood/ambroxan. It also leans towards Vibrant Leather, sitting somewhere in between the two.

  3. Another Aventus clone. Objectively it’s a good fragrance, but in my opinion there are better fakes on the market.
