[QUOTE=Coal Man post_id=1600325151]I think most of Alexandria stuff have that synthetic vibe but this is one of the 3 or 4 offerings from them I REALLY like. And by that I mean this might just be my favorite freshie scent at the moment.

Not sure what you meant with the wood and oud though. There's a slight wood in the drydown but not as much as Aventus for example. This is a fruity, creamy, clean orange and vetiver scent with a nice dose of sweetness for sex appeal. Imagine biting into the most delicious orange creamsicle, and while doing that you get a little taste of the wooden stick that it's on.

I just see oud and kinda think ehhh. Maybe ill order this and hawaii volcano on the next sale. I've been looking for a good sweet/orange scent. TdH was a little too earthy for me. Most bergamont stuff i smell...smells like my grandmother.

All Creeds like this? Love the scent though. Going to check out the AF clone I guess.
Some are better, but none are what I'd call high performers.

If anyone finds a scent similar to VIW that actually lasts, PLZ tell me. Would love to have a good performance version of it.

Nice description coalman. I'm gonna take a different angle.

If 540Extrait was renamed "540 Extrait Pour Femme", then I think Bal D'Afrique/Africano could definitely be "540 Extrait Pour Homme"

It's sweeter than it is woody for sure, but it's not nearly as sweet as 540Extrait BUT there's just enough wood notes in the base to make it a "masculine-sweet" scent. I want to continue to give praise to Byredo since they're the ones that created it, but the performance on Africano is better but smells nearly as good. Nearly all out of my 540Extrait, won't be replacing it soon as Africano makes a good date night frag but suitable for other situations as well.

Might have to give it a shot. I like BR, but as i've previously stated it smells identical to some cheapie a former FWB wore all the time.

I have a 3ml sample of that from AF. I've only worn it once, not really my cup of tea. Maybe I'll give it another try tomorrow if I remember.

It definitely does have a 540 feel to it with the sweetness. Not as sweet of course but I can see this one appealing to people who want a more masculine and "fresher" take on 540extrait. It's definitely more versatile because of this. I even get a slight citrus touch in the beginning of 540e. Of course they are different scents and I still personally prefer 540 but I feel it's the similarity that has shot this to the top of my freshie list.

I dug out my decant/sample box as seen in the background and gave this another shot. I can see why this is so popular. It's super strong, fills a room easy, performance is bomb from only 2 sprays from the tiny sample atomizer, but it'sjust not for me.I dont know why, I usually like these strong, spicy, in-your-face type of scents but this one is just too......something.

NO RACIST whatsoever, but this comes off like a sweaty, swarmy, Middle Eastern farmers market. Maybe the incense?

If Spicebomb had a much older uncle with a sleeve of poorly done homemade tattoos, a mullet, and drove a 1979 rusted out Camaro this would be Hafez 84.

Looking for a summer scent. Any recommendations? I’m cool with a blind buy and I’ve smelled a ton so I remember what I Enjoy atleast a little. I’m trying to stay around 100$, but I’m cool going more niche if it’s worth it as fragrancenet does the afterpay stuff so I wouldn’t have to drop 3-4 hundo up front.
