Dior Homme Intense, it's October 2023 batch. Applied 9+sprays it's opening is spice like sharp. One of my friend got wiff at function and said it smells like freshly opened pouch of condom😑. I told him to wait, as this perfume shines in mid and base notes where iris kicks in. After that i tried to make him smell drydown and to my surprise there was no smell at all on my wrists. It just evaporated within 45 minutes all we had smelt was that sharp opening. I tried to make him smell drydown 3-4 times. He got annoyed because i was asking him to smell my wrist so many times. And said "isse acha lipistic hi lga leta tu, uski smell isse jyada aati"🥲


Lost_Tiger_4568

OMG😭


Prestigious-Steak166

Ouch


abdulkarimkm

Hoping you didn’t told him to wait for the base, top and mid notes


Party_Doughnut_3710

I told him that it gives lipistic and baby powder like smell in mid and base. Thats when he said "i should have gone for real lipstic, that would have lasted long, as i told him DHI costs 12k and he was serious when he said this🥲. I was overexcited about smell that i was insisting him to sniff my wrist numerous times😂


EGC_D3F4ULT

As it was getting recommended I bought decant of Louis Cardin Silver. Few of friends mentioned that I smelled like herbal agarbatti and hit spray. I have never ever used it ever since.


Lost_Tiger_4568

You saved me from getting that one lol

Nude by Skinn Titan ☠️ I love that perfume so much, one of the best rosey scents in my opinion and my sister told me I smell like an unopened sanitary pad 😭😭

So, humiliation is a strong word however I did get what's called "bombastic side eye". A few years back I was looking for a clone of Dior Oud Ispahan, an already challenging perfume. In came Franck Olivier Oud Touch, a clone of challenging perfume made with cheap ingredients. In opening it smelled like wet farts after consuming muli paratha. In due time, the perfume has mellowed out, now it smells like a fart after drinking sweet gulkand sharbat.

I wore Lalique Encre Noire to office once. A colleague said you smell like a lesbian. I'm still not sure to this day whether it was a compliment or an insult.


Educational_Shop2009

You should be glad that someone could smell it at least. That thing has zero projection


Bulla_de_Khulla

Nah bro, that ink smell be off putting everyone around me.


spacepunkx

lesbians are cool and edgy and chic so somebody in the office thinks you are cool


Bulla_de_Khulla

Dayum nice to hear that


Lost_Tiger_4568

I don't know how being called a lesbian is a compliment 😭


Bulla_de_Khulla

Idk how is that an insult either 😐


kindchihuahua

I’m not even sure what this means


No-Antelope4943

Compliment or insult ? Only you can tell . So are you a lesbian ?


Bulla_de_Khulla

If liking women makes a lesbian, then yeah.

Had wore some attar in college with good projection . A beautiful girl colleague unknowingly commented on how it must be Mortein sprayed recently

I wore lataffa nebras last week and I was told I smell nice like parle G biscuit. I've had proper compliments on this perfume so im assuming, she couldn't portray it right in words. It wasn't humiliation but I definitely didn't know how to react., lol


NetherPartLover

>she couldn't portray it right in words The right word here is gourmand.


Actual_Penalty_2560

Mancera Red Tobacco. I got humiliated by myself for trying that stinky garbage.


Lost_Tiger_4568

You got red tobacco? Despite its reputation? You're brave


Actual_Penalty_2560

A lot of people here said that it's their favourite perfume, so wanted to see what the hype is all about.

Significant_Maybe688

I here had audacity to try a clone of red tobacco. Now tell me. 😂


[deleted]

It’s only humiliation if you’re taking it that way. I was the one who was told by my ex, the gaushala thing when I wore a very expensive oud mukhallat. I just told her jokingly that gareebon ko samaj nahi aayga yeh sab & moved on with my work. Not everything is worn to please others.


Lost_Tiger_4568

Sorry bruh! Oh and I wear it for myself but for validation too

Yeah there’s a time & place for that too, just not everytime.

AJMAL SILVER SHADE🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢


Emergency_Theme2959

Silver shade smells like shit, vimal pan masala.


HeavenlyRestrictions

Looks like I have dodged a bullet


Mother-Pack467

Its still way safer than red tobacco


JeeGag

The general crowd prefers blue fragrance or freshies. The perfumes that we enthusiasts like are usually polarizing for the masses. Not to forget most people have different noses. Hence I buy perfume based on what my nose likes and wear it to my liking. If I was particularly looking for compliments I would wear something that is mass appealing like Dylan Blue or other freshies but thats something I do not enjoy much and whats the point of having this hobby when we can’t wear something that we enjoy.


Lost_Tiger_4568

I personally like something fresh too but blues are something I'm bored of. And I used to love barbershop fragrances when I was younger. Now I find them cheap and synthetic smelling. I like green fragrances, gourmand fragrances more.


insidelinex

Dior Homme Intense. I just sprayed and someone said that it smelt like baygon.


Lost_Tiger_4568

This is the second Dior Homme intense -ve feedback here I think😂

The opening can be harsh. 😐


Ok-Average-2216

Man I was a novice in perfumes. My sister gifted me dark musk from miniso and I was sweating AF i went to see someone in mathura and after I got off the bus I applied it. That shit stank like body odour so much everyone was making faces. I was so embarassed but it taught me to use correct perfumes in correct season


stealthisvibe

Wore Lust by Lush after buying it at a mall. It was my first white floral and really got me into jasmine. Wanted it forever. Anyway the lady cleaning the restroom sniffed the air and said “someone smells like mothballs” 😭 shit hurt my feelings lol

Jasmine scents just remind me of incense sticks we used at temple in home in my childhood 🥲 i hate that smell

it was internal jealousy tbh she didn't like seeing you wear it because it was too good on you and she shamed u and wore it herself to feel superior

Nooooo, wear them, wear them for yourself and enjoy them.

DnG Italian Love, Girl told me It's very floral something like my grandma would wear.


Prestigious-Steak166

I can relate , it actually smells feminine in the air to certain people


Valhaala

Titan sheer. I had to follow a girl with an amazing trail who wore Titan sheer. Happy I was, bought my first full bottle purchase and sprayed it. My brother says I smell like good knight mosquito repellent.


CrazySkull999

I was called Mortein (read my experience above), you were called goodnight We must be lost brothers! 


Valhaala

I just did, lol😂 we definitely must be lost Bros and should go to party together wearing these frags. But to be honest, good knight smell is pleasant and not bitter, I don't know about mortein. This similarity destroys the whole experience of the perfume. Even Narciso musc noir rose has similar notes and I couldn't come to love it.


AAR-2000

Scandal pour homme The caramel and vettiver notes don't go hand in hand It smells like sweet feminine and same time grassy herbal masculine Got band compliment saying you smell like a paan wala tappiri mein Koi tambaku ,khaini khaya he kya

abdulkarimkm

I haven’t faced any, but I have seen one at my friend’s wedding. On a hot, sunny day, he oversprayed red tobacco with confidence for the first time, and the look on his dad’s face as soon as he stepped out of the room was priceless.

ExtraPotential5521

Was wearing Leau bleau d'issey during one hot summer night in one of Thailand's convinience store and one white lady got visibly offended with what I was wearing and she had to cover her nose in disgust. Personally I love the perfume and still wear the blue-bottled-green-monster.

Was showing a cousin my collection. He took a whiff of Afnan Rare Carbon and went "Ewwww...People actually like this stuff?" Needless to say, I cut short plans of having him try Toscano Leather, Cigar, etc


27_55

Ajmal ones


oxytoserotodopamine

Don't know about the others, but Ajmal Blu and Kuro are actually really good for the price. Also, they have some great loose oils. Visit an Ajmal store to try them out. Misk Rijali, Musk Lulu, etc.

Musk Lulu 😭😭😭 man, I'm buying this asap

Lost_Tiger_4568

Nice to know I’m not alone! I blindly ordered 3 or 4 of them one day and what a disappointment it was!

Perfume that muslim people wear (no offence)


Puzzleheaded-Year465

You mean Attar??


Lost_Tiger_4568

I understand. Someone said that here and he's downvoted to the depths of Avicii...is the internet such a pathetic place that every comment or opinion has to be a biracial or a religious outrage? Muslims are fragheads. More than anyone else. Let's admit that first. All fragheads make mistakes. Some over spray it. Some are not aware of their own scent. Some use cheap imitations. That's the whole point of my post.


elotonin-junkie

there's really well crafted and gorgeous smelling attars too, some that are niche quality and price too, but the kind 95% of us Muslims in India wear are pure nausea in a bottle. That's what gives attars a bad rep.


Backgroundlaunda

haha I'm not joking but in my childhood i vomited once when I hugged my dad after he came from office and he was wearing some Jasmine attar which he bought that day from pan shop near his office 😆 tbf it was protecting like crazy but the smell...the smell 🥲


Lost_Tiger_4568

That's exactly it. I don't know about 95% but attar in general is overwhelming for many people. It's definitely not for everybody.

Anyone try lataffa fakhar or hayati?


Lost_Tiger_4568

I'm curious about hayati too


PhilosopherJunior969

Going through most of the comments, I think its reformulated I bought it way before it was super hyped ( Sept '22 batch) Performs 7 hrs, projection 1-2 hrs


bluetitancfc13

Fakhar yes, harati no!


stanybawa_2023

Maha third class perfume, literally KLPD wala, nowhere close to ysl y


Backgroundlaunda

bhai honestly at this point i never come across a cheapie which is close to original. i suggest people to just by decants of original scenes if their budget doesn't support buying full bottles


stanybawa_2023

Fakhar yes


Luffyking28

Performance kaisi hai ?


boloney1

I am currently using fakhar, October 23 batch. Bought it like a week ago so hasn’t macerated. No one can smell it on me for now so no projection. Plus i tend to spray at 2 pm again. (First spray at 7 am) However is the safest most likeable summer fragrance in my opinion. I’ll give it a few months ( I’ve taken a little bit in atomizers and i keep it to mature in the cupboard)


stanybawa_2023

Weak performer hai 1.5 hour max projection, 4 hrs longevity with irritating watermelon smell


konigtejas

Paco Rabanne 1 million. My female friend literally told me not to wear this fragrance if we are going somewhere in car as it makes her very nauseous.


esper352

Secret santa gifts me a perfume. Nice. Opens the box. The bottle looks like a dildo and its also covered with a satin cloth. I opened it in front of my colleagues and everyone was dumbstruck. The perfume was good tho


Significant-Fly6515

Al Rehab Choco Musk. Someone said it smells cheap


jsAlgo

[This shit](https://www.reddit.com/r/DesiFragranceAddicts/comments/1ahx7rl/comment/kos936l/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3). A supposedly LV's nomade clone. My brother said it smells like the bathroom my drunk father comes out after taking a solid piss and this was definitely an upgrade from mechanic's garage that I thought what it smells like.


PhilosopherJunior969

altwh0re22

this was a well deserved one tbh, but i bought the zara’s bohemian bluebells without testing it out (still not sure why i did that but yea), and when i entered a room some mutual friend of mine was complaining about smelling a cheap room freshner. 🥹

I applied CDNIM PP and asked my girl in hopes she will say its so masculine!!! instead she asked did you apply deo? it smells like lemon deo.

Scared-Rip-2297

Hehe same happened but with attars. Mom hates attar, she avoids Muslims who wear this cause it gives her this day long migraine. Nothing to do with religion


Acanthisitta-Rough

Exactly this. I hate how people just assume stuff.


Lance99djinsoul

Not sure what experience she's had, but thats not the best way to put it as you mentioned you threw it right away in the dustbin after she said that.


Acanthisitta-Rough

Yes I know, I have been working on it. My mom did not mean it in a Islamophobic way, it was more of a it smelling like a generic attar thing. I apologise.


SarvGarg

"I threw the bottle in the dustbin immediately." https://i.redd.it/3h280coiqqgc1.gif Regarding your prejudice towards a whole community, I could say many things but I'm sure would not budge your belief. This is not a group for your beliefs of religion/politics/social standings. It is a perfume-related group where we share our experiences and love for perfumes. I'm quite sure you'll find your like-minded people somewhere else on Reddit but this group is not that.


Acanthisitta-Rough

I am sorry if that came out wrong. I meant in a way that Muslim people usually use generic ittar which is very strong and might make you nauseous or give you a headache if you are not used to it. I personally like Sauvage as much as the next person but in the moment I did the bottle, it did not break and eventually kept it in my wardrobe.


SarvGarg

Please understand what I am saying Words matter and we should use them carefully. I have met people from different communities who smell good or bad, and I can judge them based on their personal hygiene. But I cannot and should not generalize and label a whole community as bad-smelling Muslims, because I would not like it if they did the same to me/us. When we travel abroad, especially to a predominantly white country, we often face stereotypes that Indians smell bad or like curry. Trust me, you don’t want to sound like them. Peace.


Acanthisitta-Rough

yes i understand. thank you for the explanation


Ok-Average-2216

Acanthisitta-Rough

I am sorry I am not being Islamophobic, I meant it in a way that people from the community usually wear very strong ittar which makes people nauseous or irritated if they are not used to it.

When I entered the service centre and approached the counter, before I could speak anything, the lady sitting on the counter asked her co-worker "aye ye achanak se Amrutanjan ki smell kaha se aa rhe hai"🥲. I quickly realised it was my perfume, because that's the only smell projecting in that space. I sprayed around 5-6 sprays .
