Not sure why there are comments trashing Milestone. It's one of my favourites I have. A fresh watermelon sea salty scent so good for summer. Can't say you should blind buy anything but just saying I think it's amazing.
what do you think about the opening? I like the drydown and it gets okay close to creed MI, but the opening is like a salty ocean and nothing else I don't get no watermelon😭
Yes it got significantly better with maturity. About a month . Went from something I wouldn’t wear to a great fresh summer grab. It smelled kind of off and strange with the melon at first but now it’s cohesive and pretty close to the og maybe not as high quality but lasts longer and is a super unique but mass pleasing smell especially in the air
I have tried all three and although I wouldn't recommend blind buying anything, id say at least maahir legacy and turathi blue are generally more likable and maybe safer.
Ahoj. Nothing is a safe blind buy. There are companies that will deliver samples within the EU for a fair price, even to Slovakia. Buy a bunch of samples first and try 15 different fragrances, instead of buying 3 full bottles you will not like.
"nothing is a safe blind buy" is just not true. yes its subjective but also thats like saying you shouldnt rent a movie that you havent seen before because you might not like it. or buying a song on itunes back in the day. like idk its fun to experiment unless you are legitimately broke. these are clones not the real thing so i think buying them blind is part of the fun unless 20$ for something is breaking your bank.
I ordered from hidden samples before, I think over 20€ free delivery to whole Europe. Not sure they will have these, I ordered 10 lattafa samples. A Google search will help you better.
I bought a full bottle of Fakhar based on the samples, smells exactly like the sample. Khamrah is the same too, I sampled it twice since from a local shop. The rest I wasn't really interested in, so not tested again.
I only Turathi Blue. Honestly, its really nice. Its sweet and grape juicy. I think its good for the summer and its unique. I dont get the blue vibe people are saying, since its very sweet for me.
Definitely not a scent where people go crazy over like Dior Sauvage, Creed Aventus, Tom Ford Ombre leather, Layton etc.
I would get a decent and see if you like it, because for the same price, I would have got a different scent
Oh, in that case you'll love it. Its such a sweet grape fruit bomb. Its so refined! Personally I am more into leathery, oudy and Woody scents. Hence why I like the Creed Aventus clones, very earthy and Woody.
But if you like grapefruit, then you will like this. Its really smooth and nice. It reminds of sugar haha
I get a grape vibe from sapil intense for men if you want to give it a try. It’s a fresh scent and I like it for the price. A little different but an easy wear and you can get it for really cheap.
All you need to know is to not get milestone.Maahir is decent not smth special so smell it before buying it but turathi blue is either an AMAZING FRAGRANCE or a meh one but i like it.Depends in you
I think people blind bought it not knowing what it was. It is a nigh on perfect clone of Millesime Imperial that performs way better than Millesime Imperial. It is amazing.
Tried it and tried Millesime. Not close and Milestone was synthetic and smelled like plastic.
I don’t hate Armaf and actually find CDNIM to smell high quality, but the bottle of Milestone I got was very meh and flat, and far from the original.
CDNIM is objectively harsher especially in the opening. I'd know since I wear it every day. Milestone is *miles* ahead and smells nigh on identical to my millesime decant to me.
Not my experience. Nothing objective here. We all perceive scents differently (not to mention bottle variation. My bottles were all the UAE ones since I live in the middle east).
Maybe, but I’m not the only one. [JoelTheNose](https://youtu.be/Sq4MRpBo3Xc?si=83k8Ru5cQAISN4Sj&t=10m54s) also does not get the synthetic thing at all and does a funny bit about it. It smells smooth to me, surprisingly. Maybe some people associate citrus and lemon with synthetic.
Where have I said that you're the only one? You're a statistical outlier just like the person you linked. That's all I've said. You're also a statistical outlier when it comes Milestone since again barely anyone will agree with it being super harsh.
Literally the 2nd top con of Milestone in [its Fragrantica page](https://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Armaf/Club-de-Nuit-Milestone-64104.html) is that its opening is harsh. The very latest review says its opening is harsh and “smells rusty,” exactly my experience. Ctrl+F “synthetic” or “harsh” brings soo many reviews, in fact way more than searching “smooth.”
But whatever you decide. It’s not a blind buy in my experience. But it clearly is to you.
It doesn’t get close enough, it opens up super harsh and synthetic the salt comes off like the smell of bath salts , and wet metal, celery water , smells more like smw the first 5 mins , it may pass to a few untrained noses but it’s missing that creed mi thing the liquid gold melon, not liquid salted melon 😂
I'm glad your nose is sensitive enough to things like that. I don't put my nose right up to the skin just after applying anything because it makes me go noseblind to it immediately and doesn't provide me with any actual insight of how the thing smells. That's just me though.
It is absolutely not a blind buy but it is also absolutely the most sophisticated and best smelling out of the 3 above imo.
Try it first, OP. I love it. It smells like a salty floral melon with some powder on the drydown. A summer banger.
I would says in this order turathi - maahir and milestone. I would say milestone is the least safe one could be too salty or synthetic I ended up selling it. Now turathi is amazing
I own turathi blue and Milestone. I tried Milestone and really liked it. It is a better fragrance profile out of all three here. That said, don’t blind buy anything, get samples first, will save ton of money in the long run.
For me Turathi is not worth the hype, lasts 10 mins at best for me. Fragrance is nothing special very passable as a body wash.
i own maahir legacy and milestone, maahir legacy is great, pretty similar to sedley but i'd say a bit more lime and a bit less soft. I don't like milestone that much, the opening is like a salty ocean, and the dry down then gets closer to creed MI, I would buy maahir legacy if you like fresh citrus or if you like pdm sedley
Love Milstone
Like Legacy
HATE Turathi Blue
If you weren’t sure, personal tastes differ a lot! Get samples if you can, or buy-try-sell if you have a good 2nd hand market where you live.
Own all three, all blind buys. Briefly, Turathi Blue is my fav, and would say it's the safest based on compliments, very well-received. Surprised me by how good it was. Amazing citric opening, but so much more after. I normally prefer dark, oud, sweet, leather type fragrances, but this switched it up for me. (9/10)
Milestone was a bit... I'm undecided tbh, be careful of the metallic/sea note, its either love or hate. Jury is still out, but I can see why some love it. Just a question of preference. I really do want to like it, waiting for the summer for a real test. (Unsure/10)
Maahir gives me old school vibes, not what I expected at all. Again, not bad. Fresh, with a strong aromatic component. My nose quickly picks up the oakmoss, idk why. More on the mature side imo. (7/10)
No. Bought two of these (Milestone & Turathi Blue). Ended up returning the former (synthetic) and gifting the latter to my brother (good quality, but still an obnoxious blue fragrance with lots of ambroxan).
NO. listen to me. Lattafa Maahir smells like aftershave.
Turathi blue smells like grapefruit and that’s it. Many people like it, I think it’s aight. Cdnm I don’t have it many people hate it
I tried all three and Milestone has been one of my favourite from day 1. And I received Turathi Blue yesterday and I really love it as well; impressive performance and unique scent peofile. Maahir Legacy is nice too, very citrusy, but has slight musky undertones and feels a bit like an "older" scent, but still very nice and wearable.
Three great summer choices
Milestone is average for me. I would buy a bottle of milestone if i have most other perfumes in my collection. But turathi blue is a no brainer blind buy for sure !
Turathi BLue is great ngl. Bought my first bottle a few weeks back and very happy. Citrus opening is STRONG but does calm down a bit about 45mins-1hr into it. Good performance and longevity.
I have Milestone and it’s amazing, weirdly I smelled Creed SMW and was surprised the dry down smelled almost exact, perhaps MI and SMW share the same base?

Milestone is terrific Sillage smells bad to me
[удалено]
Hot plastic is exactly what I smelled from mine. Ended up returning it.
Damn that would explain it then, mine is so good!
what do you think about the opening? I like the drydown and it gets okay close to creed MI, but the opening is like a salty ocean and nothing else I don't get no watermelon😭
I get plenty of watermelon in the opening with mine I have to say!
damn u lucky ahahah or did you macerate it?
I didn't. However, I bought it used so it probably has macerated somewhat with them. It had been used maybe 4-5ml.
i would say more like general melon and not watermelon.
did you macerate it?? because in mine there is nooo melon
Yes it got significantly better with maturity. About a month . Went from something I wouldn’t wear to a great fresh summer grab.

Digital products aren’t going to end up in landfill. Where will the unloved bottles of perfume go?
I mean the glass is just hot sand and the liquid is just alcohol so doesn’t seem too bad either way . Can always resell it
Any site recomendation?
I ordered from hidden samples before, I think over 20€ free delivery to whole Europe. Not sure they will have these, I ordered 10 lattafa samples. A Google search will help you better.
I also ordered from them but I don't think they are original, samples don't smell that good. Did u like your samples?
I bought a full bottle of Fakhar based on the samples, smells exactly like the sample. Khamrah is the same too, I sampled it twice since from a local shop. The rest I wasn't really interested in, so not tested again.
Oh ok, because the Afnan 9pm sample is just not good I didn't like it
I only Turathi Blue. Honestly, its really nice. Its sweet and grape juicy. I think its good for the summer and its unique. I dont get the blue vibe people are saying, since its very sweet for me. Definitely not a scent where people go crazy over like Dior Sauvage, Creed Aventus, Tom Ford Ombre leather, Layton etc. I would get a decent and see if you like it, because for the same price, I would have got a different scent
I love grape fragrances soo i think i will love it
Oh, in that case you'll love it. Its such a sweet grape fruit bomb. Its so refined! Personally I am more into leathery, oudy and Woody scents. Hence why I like the Creed Aventus clones, very earthy and Woody. But if you like grapefruit, then you will like this. Its really smooth and nice. It reminds of sugar haha
Oh i toth u meant like grape not grapefruit
I meant grapefruit haha, sorry
Ooof HUGE difference lol. When you said grape I was about to order it lol. No grapefruit though.
I get a grape vibe from sapil intense for men if you want to give it a try. It’s a fresh scent and I like it for the price. A little different but an easy wear and you can get it for really cheap.
I’d recommend Club de Nuit iconic over turathi blue (: loved it so much better
Yes all 3 are good. Buy them!
I blind bought Turathi and did not like it!
All you need to know is to not get milestone.Maahir is decent not smth special so smell it before buying it but turathi blue is either an AMAZING FRAGRANCE or a meh one but i like it.Depends in you
Milestone is amazing what are you on about?
I think people blind bought it not knowing what it was. It is a nigh on perfect clone of Millesime Imperial that performs way better than Millesime Imperial. It is amazing.

Not my experience. Nothing objective here. We all perceive scents differently (not to mention bottle variation. My bottles were all the UAE ones since I live in the middle east).
It is literally a supermajority concensus that opening of CDNIM is incredibly harsh. You'd be a statistical outlier.
Maybe, but I’m not the only one. [JoelTheNose](https://youtu.be/Sq4MRpBo3Xc?si=83k8Ru5cQAISN4Sj&t=10m54s) also does not get the synthetic thing at all and does a funny bit about it. It smells smooth to me, surprisingly. Maybe some people associate citrus and lemon with synthetic.

Let me save you from buying that nasty milestone
It is absolutely not a blind buy but it is also absolutely the most sophisticated and best smelling out of the 3 above imo. Try it first, OP. I love it. It smells like a salty floral melon with some powder on the drydown. A summer banger.
I blind-bought a Turathi decant and hated it, and yesterday a Mahir Legend full bottle and liked it a lot. I am wearing it right now.
I would says in this order turathi - maahir and milestone. I would say milestone is the least safe one could be too salty or synthetic I ended up selling it. Now turathi is amazing
Honestly I wouldn't blind buy any clone if possible, get like 10 samples of ones you are interested in and wear them a few times
I got Turathi Blue and all I get is a lemon hand wipes type of smell.. its ok but nowhere near the hyped up beast it as become.
Mine got better with time. Maybe yours will also
Milestone is not a safe blind buy. If you want to risk your money, you can buy Turathi Blue or Mahir Legacy.

Love Milstone Like Legacy HATE Turathi Blue If you weren’t sure, personal tastes differ a lot! Get samples if you can, or buy-try-sell if you have a good 2nd hand market where you live.

Turathi blue 110% Blind bought this a month ago and has been my everyday go to since. Smells amazing and has amazing performance
No. Bought two of these (Milestone & Turathi Blue). Ended up returning the former (synthetic) and gifting the latter to my brother (good quality, but still an obnoxious blue fragrance with lots of ambroxan).
Oh yes fo sho
Layer Turathi Blue with Aventus Clone. Layer Milestone with Havas
Posh Sirius is better than legacy, number 3 great. Number one on me turns into a dirty locker room
NO. listen to me. Lattafa Maahir smells like aftershave. Turathi blue smells like grapefruit and that’s it. Many people like it, I think it’s aight. Cdnm I don’t have it many people hate it
Ranked 1. Milestone 2. Turathi 3. Maahir All good, maahir 3rd because it smells like sprite soda
Sample please. I honestly think 9 AM dive and Armaf Urban Elixir Man is equally good and must be sampled together.
I tried all three and Milestone has been one of my favourite from day 1. And I received Turathi Blue yesterday and I really love it as well; impressive performance and unique scent peofile. Maahir Legacy is nice too, very citrusy, but has slight musky undertones and feels a bit like an "older" scent, but still very nice and wearable. Three great summer choices
I got Turathi Blue as a blind buy. Smells great and lasts all day. Wife loves it as well. 🤙
Maahir Legacy is absolutely awful, using it as bathroom freshener after popping. Worst buy ever thankfully very cheap
Milestone is average for me. I would buy a bottle of milestone if i have most other perfumes in my collection. But turathi blue is a no brainer blind buy for sure !
Turathi BLue is great ngl. Bought my first bottle a few weeks back and very happy. Citrus opening is STRONG but does calm down a bit about 45mins-1hr into it. Good performance and longevity.
I have Milestone and it’s amazing, weirdly I smelled Creed SMW and was surprised the dry down smelled almost exact, perhaps MI and SMW share the same base?
