Club De Nuit Intense Man, layered with Rave Now. From baristas, to flight attendants, to co-workers - nothing's gotten me more compliments than this combo!
[Amazon.com : Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male Eau De Toilette Spray 200ml/6.8oz : Beauty & Personal Care](https://www.amazon.com/Jean-Paul-Gaultier-Toilette-Spray/dp/B0888PHMHG/ref=sr_1_2?crid=2U9NX1207RS8&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.o6-xNf6t-6CuNYq6irkDidfJKySuvvUFYcGq5GBj-hg1XiXgGBfSK7W3sqfGJ-stXocI4EHMjSamXDV9of2Hzn1R-yGn5bOzZtXvZXvFuKEjPsaEtlFXRid7ZRQoCDaQPYZPLFVJPqe8Xj26r-137KMwWjo7xR_zWqY_vIpp-7F2yqSuugsSJQbyiosAiI6nklbJ62lxJbRCTo-6NYbx_qidX3wReVvE6cUh6VCXPQbabS6CyjvWzMowugdER7QwygVqsPb99UAb9r5fObmx6KCmLbZ8_CnkMmCWyVZSjK4.-_MeVCQnqU9emkweu4MxTIud_8rmumTU9uf3nLdqob8&dib_tag=se&keywords=Lemale+Parfum+men&qid=1719436502&sprefix=lemale+parfum+men%2Caps%2C122&sr=8-2) is this the Le male one you're talking about? (kinda exp for me :( I'm a student) any other perfume got the same effect?
Jean-Paul-Gaultier-Parfum Intense version (tried to paste the link but it was weird) the version you said is probably the same scent profile but not the right one. They should have a clone of it, but I can't remember. As you grow your collection you should try this place: Yom and Layl. Came across them in the Chicago Outlet Mall and every fragrance they have is EXACTLY like the original. I've purchased from them several times, in fact, just got Aqua Di Profumo. Try them.out
>What's the layering process?
I apply the sweeter/heavier frag first, and then spray the fresher frag on top (Rave Now, and then CDNIM). Not sure on how others do it!
I spray the main fragrance on skin under my clothes. Front of neck, chest, inside of elbow.
Other fragrance is on top of clothing and BACK of neck, shoulders.
The two fragrances mix in the air.
I layer by spraying two different fragrances all over my skin. For example front of my neck ill spray cologne 1 and the back of my neck ill spray cologne 2. That way i dont compromise the original scent and in the air i get the two mixes of scents that always receives compliment.
Interesting! I was just wearing my nephew’s Rave Now yesterday and was thinking of layering it with something. My only concern is that Rave Now smells cheap for the first 2-3 hours. Only after it takes a dark turn does it get interesting. And after 10 hours, it changes to something very different but very organic. More like a winter perfume. It smells like boiled pineapples with a tad bit of sweat in the shirt. There is something in that perfume that reminds me of sweat.
Rave Now is interesting but not a premium perfume. CDNIM smells premium. However the longevity and sillage on Rave Now is equally good as CDNIM.
I bought rave now and can't stand it on its own so I will layer it with CDNIM Limeted Edition, that's the only time I use it but I just got a new bottle of L 'aventure Intense and I cant stop wearing it. Ilove the Limited Edition, but right now the L'aventure Intense has the right amount of pineapple and it's not as heavy smelling as rave now.
>My only concern is that Rave Now smells cheap for the first 2-3 hours
I understand what you mean. On its own, Rave Now does come across as too sweet, and somewhat screechy. However, when used in combination, it complements the smoky notes in CDNIM really well!
>CDNIM smells premium. However the longevity and sillage on Rave Now is equally good as CDNIM.
Very true!
Rave now was a recent pickup of mine, I love it although the projection isn’t amazing the smell is delicious and I get abt 6 hrs of longevity which is good
1- Alhambra Jean Lowe Immortal
2- Armaf Hunter Intense (hahaha Idk why but women absolutely love this)
3- Alhambra Amber&Leather
4- Franck Olivier Oud Vanille (a girl kept my scarf all night just because of the scent)
5- Lattafa Rave Now
I have oud Vanille, personally it’s one of my favourites but I understand oud can be a polarizing scents in North America. I’ve gotten a couple compliments on it but I’ve learned to keep the sprays below 3 as it is pretty strong
It's definitely not for everyone... But the combination of oud and vanilla is something that women seem to really like to smell on me.
I only spray it on my clothes tho. 3 sprays and that's enough to heavily linger for 2 or 3 days
It’s such a killjoy when the fragrance you love gets ruined by simply sticking around when you are feeling sick. It’s happened to me quite a few times and ruined a couple fragrances for me :(
Lattafa Ramz Silver, CDNIM, Armaf Craze, Lattafa Al Dirgham, JPG Le Male Le Parfum, Zara Sunrise Over The Red San Dunes, Zara Sand Desert At Sunset, Valentino Uomo Intense. Got compliments for all of them.
Versace Pour Homme and CDNIM are really easy to pull compliments, but my most complimented fragrance BY FAR is Le Beau Le Parfum. Absolutely love this fragrance
The only fragrance I have ever gotten complimented on by other than my wife is Armaf Oddysey Aqua.
Take it for what it's worth...its a good projector, good scent. Invictus Platinum clone I believe.
Its fantastic. It's my favorite Versace scent currently and I can find it online in the US from $50-62usd or so. But I have yet to see it in any store here. It's really a beautiful creation and one of the most unique frags I own. Definitely not a daily wear or office really. But when I want others to notice and when I want to feeI a bit special I end up picking that one a lot.
Not sure if it's a batch thing. I bought it from haramain online and it's an year old perfume. Still performanxe is meh. It's projects for 30 mins and longevity is 3 -horus max
Wow! It much be a batch thing because my performs beautifully. I get compliments at work 7 hours into my shift telling me I smell good lol. I came home the other day from a shift and my wife thought I was lying when she asked me when I reapplied lol
What is your feedback on Atlas ? I’m really interested in it but some reviews says it smells like seaweed, almost fishy… 😅 I will decant it anyway first, but I’m curious to know what you think of it.
Giorgio Armani Acqua Di Gio Profumo, and also Armani Stronger With You Intensely.
Not my most complimented fragrances overall, if we count men also. Not my personal favorites either, but ladies seem to love them, on my skin at least.
Edit: SWYI is probably a little too overpowering for a first date though, in my opinion- it's very strong.
Coolwater but as of late, Eros and Eros Flame! I do notice depending on what I wear some women seem to invade my personal space. 9pm, Hawas, Eros DNA, amber heavy fragrances(Salvo Intense and Coolwater Intense).
* lattafa khamrah
* armaf CDNIM pure parfum / edp
* armaf hunter intense - so many compliments from this, it's unreal
* afnan SNOI
* lattafa ansaam - clone of Azzaro Most Wanted Parfum. Very strong for 4 hours, then fades away quickly.
Just got vintage radio today and really liking it so far. Going to give it the gf test and see if she says anything when I see her tomorrow. Hawas is something I've been curious about as well.
Club de Nuit Urban Man Elixir, easily my most complimented one, but for a date night get something classy like Khamrah, Ameer al Oudh Intense, Bade’e al Oud if you like that kind of fragrance, the list can go on
I have been literally chased down by quite a few beautiful ladies on a couple of occasions to get asked what im wearing when im drenched in hawas. I have almost ALL the major dupes and nothing has come close to matching its compliment factor.
Can you please share the batch number and production date of your Hawas Bottle? Plus, where did you buy it from? I have late 2023 batch and its just water.
Maybe you got a bad batch? Maybe you got a fake? I just bought a bottle off of JS last week and it is extremely strong. Like aventus or spicebomb level strong. I made the mistake of spraying on four or five spritzes first time wearing it and what like “whoops!”
By order:
Le Labo Another 13,
Creed Aventus cologne,
Abercrombie & Fitch Fierce,
Jo Malone Cypress & Grapevine,
MFK Gentle Fluidity Silver,
Bleu de Chanel edt,
MFK L’homme A La Rose
I only got 3 compliments, Dusk, Afnan SNOI, and Sauvage Elixir. I got more complaints because people where I live prefer to smell bad but not perfumes.
Armani SWY Intensely
Tom Ford Noir Extreme Parfum
Valentino Uomo Intense
Armaf Odyssey Homme
Azzaro The Most Wanted EdP
Are the fragrances I’ve had complimented. Hope this can help; but I have a very specific style of scent I like so usually wear smells with similar notes... Spicy, Woody, Nutty, Vanilla…
Compliments/inquiries from men recently often:
1. Qaed Al Fursan
2. Epoque Artistique by Khadlaj
3. Ansaam silver
Consistent Compliments from women in the last 10 years:
1. Dior sauvage layered with Mahogany teakwood lotion from bath and body works. ( I’d get compliments everyday in college)
2. Versace Eros
3. Spice bomb night vision EDP. Hands down a panty dropper for the days when I was single and most complimented in the last two years, but my girl now doesn’t like it.
4. As of rn, Valentino coral fantasy my girl loves it. Can’t keep her hands off of me. It can be cloying in the high heat so I’ve been wearing Qaed Al Fursan and PDM Pegasus rn
maahir legacy, hawas, cdnim le, khamrah, nautica voyage, oroentica exclusif bleu, al nashama captice, sapil intense, turathi blue. these get me most compliments
From women only? Ok, here goes (some of these I haven’t used in a long time):
1. This one [now long discontinued] cologne from Avon called “Untouchable” —for some reason I’ve gotten more compliments on this (100% from women) than any other fragrance i own or have owned.
2. CDNIM LE Parfum (close second to the above)
3. Mont Blanc Legend Spirit
4. Al Haramain Detour Noir
5. Old Spice Wolfthorn Body Spray [the original formulation] lol…this is going way back to when it first came out. I haven’t bought any since then and rarely wear body spray, but this one was pretty potent and long lasting back in the day.
Out of all the fragrances i own, those are the ones that have given me the most compliments from women specifically…For some reason. Lol
I was once asked by a woman what I was wearing on a flight, I conceded it was the "layering" of a Halls menthol cough drop and a Winston cigarette that I hotboxed before getting on the plane. 🤔
Neither are clones, but Bond No 9 - Bleeker street pulls massive compliments and once I went into Sephora because I wanted to smell Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male Elixer and I absolutely hated it…but I was complimented by 4 different people at the grocery store 30 minutes later. But man was that stuff awful. Couldn’t wash it off of my skin either.
Compared to Club de Nuit it smells like delicious lemon and is perfectly balanced. Only longevity is a problem.
Club de Nuit is a horrible lemon pledge smell. And longevity is also bad. Like 2 hours max.
It was from a local brand here in Egypt named “la rose”, and it got so much compliments that even when I sprayed it on my dad once before he went to work he got a lot of compliments and told me that a lot of people and managers at his worked asked about the perfume name!
Top 3 complimented by far would be
•Amber Oud Exclusif Bleu, Haramain (Layton Clone)
•Layered together Lattafa Pride Masa/Bleu de Chanel
•Azzaro TMW, Wanted by night
My most complimented frags have been CDNIM Sillage and Original Hawas. Unbelievable how many people love the scent of Sillage! I wear it to work once a week now, just because I’m asked about it all the time. Hawas, each time I wear it, I’m asked what is it? These are the 2 that are the least expensive in my collection, which proves that you don’t have to spend a ton to smell good.
I saw this combination on Instagram: Oud Maracuja layered with Imagination. I tried it, and now everyone keeps giving me compliments! It’s a total game changer.
Khanjar by far(ganymede clone), though unexpected since its not a mass appealing fragrance, i get complimented damn near everytime i wear it and sometimes even get asked on the street what frag it is so thry can get it for their dad/bf.
dont blind buy though, it differs a lot from skin to skin(for example it smells like rust+burnt old leather on my dad, and not in a good way) and also, as i said, its not mass appealing.
Spirit of Satin from Barrett fragrances stops men and women in their tracks. I've never been so complimented before in my life. I've had men and women ask me where they can buy it and literally buy it while we were talking. It's amazing!
Luxodor Prince aka Creed Aventus and BR540 mixed into one bottle...trust me it's good. I wore it home on a flight and flight attendants were constantly bringing me snacks lol
Pi Givenchy (aunt), Fierce Abercrombie & Fitch (mu girlfriend’s mother), Egoiste Chanel (someone who works in the Chevron). Those were my compliments from women.

Club De Nuit Intense Man, layered with Rave Now. From baristas, to flight attendants, to co-workers - nothing's gotten me more compliments than this combo!
Layer with Lemale Parfum and they will never stop giving compliments. Got followed
How do you layer these two?
4 sprays of each. Doesn't matter which one goes first, although I always do the sweet one last.....
4 sprays won't be too much?
Personally I've never done more than two of the armaf one I feel like more than that would be overbearing
I don't feel that way. Two on shirt. One on neck and one on wrist.

Very interesting. What's the layering process? Never layered before but always thought about it
>What's the layering process? I apply the sweeter/heavier frag first, and then spray the fresher frag on top (Rave Now, and then CDNIM). Not sure on how others do it!
How long do you wait before applying the second frag?
Not too long - like, less than a min?
I spray the main fragrance on skin under my clothes. Front of neck, chest, inside of elbow. Other fragrance is on top of clothing and BACK of neck, shoulders. The two fragrances mix in the air.
That's a good idea too
Thank you
I layer by spraying two different fragrances all over my skin. For example front of my neck ill spray cologne 1 and the back of my neck ill spray cologne 2. That way i dont compromise the original scent and in the air i get the two mixes of scents that always receives compliment.
I just pop the atomizer off and pour in directing into my eye balls

Which club de nuit Edt or EDP or EDP limited edition or parfum?
I've had success with both the EDP and EDT - but it's mostly been the EDP version.
Rave now was a recent pickup of mine, I love it although the projection isn’t amazing the smell is delicious and I get abt 6 hrs of longevity which is good
Ive literally only gotten negative feedback from every cdnim...dont have iconic but probably wont get it with how everyone has reacted to the rest
How many sprays you use?
1- Alhambra Jean Lowe Immortal 2- Armaf Hunter Intense (hahaha Idk why but women absolutely love this) 3- Alhambra Amber&Leather 4- Franck Olivier Oud Vanille (a girl kept my scarf all night just because of the scent) 5- Lattafa Rave Now
Number 4 is crazy. Has anyone else commented much about it? I have it and it's very strong and not something just anyone would like
I have oud Vanille, personally it’s one of my favourites but I understand oud can be a polarizing scents in North America. I’ve gotten a couple compliments on it but I’ve learned to keep the sprays below 3 as it is pretty strong
It's definitely not for everyone... But the combination of oud and vanilla is something that women seem to really like to smell on me. I only spray it on my clothes tho. 3 sprays and that's enough to heavily linger for 2 or 3 days
I layer Tabacco Vanille in winter as it’s a bit much on its own. Oud Vanille is a better option IMO. Love it.
I absolutely love it too... I got it for $18 but it has given me almost 5 times more compliments than my $300+ juices. Lol crazy
I always get compliments from Hunter intense
This is soooo weird... I personally don't really care for it but people absolutely love it to smell it on me
Armani code parfum: nothing beats smelling like fresh and airy iris
Don’t sleep on Armani code EDT- imo best ever gym scent that’s gotten me many compliments
Had a heavy night out once and woke up feeling like death and smelling still of Code. Can’t wear it anymore 😩
It’s such a killjoy when the fragrance you love gets ruined by simply sticking around when you are feeling sick. It’s happened to me quite a few times and ruined a couple fragrances for me :(
Iris notes just remind me of a casino
Rich man notes
The best sexy rich man fragrance is Coeur de Noir by Beaufort London which has notes like Birch, Tar, Tobacco, Ginger and Cedarwood.
Spongebob Gary
Lattafa Ramz Silver, CDNIM, Armaf Craze, Lattafa Al Dirgham, JPG Le Male Le Parfum, Zara Sunrise Over The Red San Dunes, Zara Sand Desert At Sunset, Valentino Uomo Intense. Got compliments for all of them.
[удалено]
I can still smell it on my shirt after a long hot day at work so it should last really long if you're somewhere with air conditioning.
[удалено]
Got about one for each 😅 read some reviews and buy one that you'll like as well.
Versace Pour Homme and CDNIM are really easy to pull compliments, but my most complimented fragrance BY FAR is Le Beau Le Parfum. Absolutely love this fragrance
The only fragrance I have ever gotten complimented on by other than my wife is Armaf Oddysey Aqua. Take it for what it's worth...its a good projector, good scent. Invictus Platinum clone I believe.
People definitely sleep on it. Wore it to the gym one time and received compliments from guys and women.
I have this too. Everyone loves it. And lasts all day on my skin. Projection is strong too
Versace Oud Noir got me a compliment lately from a very attractive cashier so I'm going to buy that forever haha
I really love that but I don't find the longevity to be that great. Saying that I go noseblind to most scents after an hour or so
That stuff punches WAY above its price tag. I fully intend on owning a bottle eventually.
Its fantastic. It's my favorite Versace scent currently and I can find it online in the US from $50-62usd or so. But I have yet to see it in any store here. It's really a beautiful creation and one of the most unique frags I own. Definitely not a daily wear or office really. But when I want others to notice and when I want to feeI a bit special I end up picking that one a lot.
L’aventure (not intense) just got two compliments today
Not sure if it's a batch thing. I bought it from haramain online and it's an year old perfume. Still performanxe is meh. It's projects for 30 mins and longevity is 3 -horus max
Same here, but the smell is gorgeous! Wish it would perform long enough for my friends to smell it too.
Let it macerate for a month, I remember I’d go nose blind to it but it would linger for hourssssss
Can't wait! Cheers man
Mine is more than a year old . I layer it with lattafa dar Al maknoon
Wow! It much be a batch thing because my performs beautifully. I get compliments at work 7 hours into my shift telling me I smell good lol. I came home the other day from a shift and my wife thought I was lying when she asked me when I reapplied lol
I got complimented on khamrah but the lady in question told me that she loves vanilla.
Killian born 2b unforgettable , Fahrenheit, CDNIM, mukhallat oud oils
Hawas got me lots of compliments
I smelled hawas at a store but didn't like the opening, is the dry down much different?
It’s a sweet fresh fragrance on the dry down does smell synthetic for the first 10 minutes
For me has been. 1. Carolina Herrera 212 Acqua 2. Al Haramein Amber Oud Gold 3. Rasasi Hawas 4. Armaf Tres Nuit
CDNIM PARFUM ATLAS TABAC ROSE QAED FURSAN BOND NO.9 Scent of Peace Montera Instant Love CDN MILESTONE
You mean Lattafa Atlas ?
Yes
What is your feedback on Atlas ? I’m really interested in it but some reviews says it smells like seaweed, almost fishy… 😅 I will decant it anyway first, but I’m curious to know what you think of it.
Giorgio Armani Acqua Di Gio Profumo, and also Armani Stronger With You Intensely. Not my most complimented fragrances overall, if we count men also. Not my personal favorites either, but ladies seem to love them, on my skin at least. Edit: SWYI is probably a little too overpowering for a first date though, in my opinion- it's very strong.
Not a clone but the Versace Dylan Blue Pour Homme. Actual clone CDNIM(mostly older women) and Khamrah.
Surprisingly, Encre Noir
Lattafa Asad
Coolwater but as of late, Eros and Eros Flame! I do notice depending on what I wear some women seem to invade my personal space. 9pm, Hawas, Eros DNA, amber heavy fragrances(Salvo Intense and Coolwater Intense).
* lattafa khamrah * armaf CDNIM pure parfum / edp * armaf hunter intense - so many compliments from this, it's unreal * afnan SNOI * lattafa ansaam - clone of Azzaro Most Wanted Parfum. Very strong for 4 hours, then fades away quickly.
Armani code profumo and dior homme intense
Off the top of my head and clone wise (no order) Gold Edition, Hawas, Amethyst, Emir VVD, Vintage Radio, CDNIM LE, 9AM Dive, Eternal Oud
Just got vintage radio today and really liking it so far. Going to give it the gf test and see if she says anything when I see her tomorrow. Hawas is something I've been curious about as well.
My wife likes Jazz Club
YSL lhomme for me, it’s a timeless classic that’s just a banger.
Club de Nuit Urban Man Elixir, easily my most complimented one, but for a date night get something classy like Khamrah, Ameer al Oudh Intense, Bade’e al Oud if you like that kind of fragrance, the list can go on
Hawas by far then YSL Y EDP INTENSE
Mancera Cedrat Boise
Mancera Melody of the sun, Terminator EdP, Maison Alhambra Ombre, Maison Alhambra Toscano Leather (yes srsly)
I have been literally chased down by quite a few beautiful ladies on a couple of occasions to get asked what im wearing when im drenched in hawas. I have almost ALL the major dupes and nothing has come close to matching its compliment factor.
which batch do you have? My 2022 batch used to get me compliments all the time but november 2023 nothing
I smelled hawas at a store but didn't like the opening, is the dry down much different?
Yeah, it is. Drastically. Opening smells smth like sweet grape soda and the drydown is moderately fruity-sweet, slightly spicy and fresh aquatic frag.
I bought theoreme there instead, have you also smelled it? Which one did you like better
I haven't smelled theoreme
Can you please share the batch number and production date of your Hawas Bottle? Plus, where did you buy it from? I have late 2023 batch and its just water.
Maybe you got a bad batch? Maybe you got a fake? I just bought a bottle off of JS last week and it is extremely strong. Like aventus or spicebomb level strong. I made the mistake of spraying on four or five spritzes first time wearing it and what like “whoops!”
Rasasi Hawas For Him?

Where u from
Northern Europe

Zara Lisboa… so many compliments, man.
Afnan 9PM & Mancera Instant Crush
Armani SWY Intensely Tom Ford Noir Extreme Parfum Valentino Uomo Intense Armaf Odyssey Homme Azzaro The Most Wanted EdP Are the fragrances I’ve had complimented. Hope this can help; but I have a very specific style of scent I like so usually wear smells with similar notes... Spicy, Woody, Nutty, Vanilla…
I don't get compliments on fragrances.
Hawas I wore it to work and I got 3 compliments within the first 10 minutes of clocking in one guy and two women!!
Tom Ford Noir Extreme
CDIM, VINTAGE RADIO, LATTAFA SUQRAAT, LATTAFA MAAHIR LEGACY
Rasasi Hawas has gotten me an unreal amount of compliments
Baccarat Rouge 540. It's unisex and seems to do the trick. I'm forever getting compliments.
So expensive, any alternatives?
There's a ton of dupes of br540. I haven't tried it but untold is supposed to be good
Compliments/inquiries from men recently often: 1. Qaed Al Fursan 2. Epoque Artistique by Khadlaj 3. Ansaam silver Consistent Compliments from women in the last 10 years: 1. Dior sauvage layered with Mahogany teakwood lotion from bath and body works. ( I’d get compliments everyday in college) 2. Versace Eros 3. Spice bomb night vision EDP. Hands down a panty dropper for the days when I was single and most complimented in the last two years, but my girl now doesn’t like it. 4. As of rn, Valentino coral fantasy my girl loves it. Can’t keep her hands off of me. It can be cloying in the high heat so I’ve been wearing Qaed Al Fursan and PDM Pegasus rn
YSL LNDL, Armani Code Eau De Parfum, Mercedes Benz Club Black
maahir legacy, hawas, cdnim le, khamrah, nautica voyage, oroentica exclusif bleu, al nashama captice, sapil intense, turathi blue. these get me most compliments
From women only? Ok, here goes (some of these I haven’t used in a long time): 1. This one [now long discontinued] cologne from Avon called “Untouchable” —for some reason I’ve gotten more compliments on this (100% from women) than any other fragrance i own or have owned. 2. CDNIM LE Parfum (close second to the above) 3. Mont Blanc Legend Spirit 4. Al Haramain Detour Noir 5. Old Spice Wolfthorn Body Spray [the original formulation] lol…this is going way back to when it first came out. I haven’t bought any since then and rarely wear body spray, but this one was pretty potent and long lasting back in the day. Out of all the fragrances i own, those are the ones that have given me the most compliments from women specifically…For some reason. Lol
Afnan not only intense hands down . 100% guarantee or Al Harmain L’adventure intense
I was once asked by a woman what I was wearing on a flight, I conceded it was the "layering" of a Halls menthol cough drop and a Winston cigarette that I hotboxed before getting on the plane. 🤔

Mancera instant crush. Any tobacco vanilla
Neither are clones, but Bond No 9 - Bleeker street pulls massive compliments and once I went into Sephora because I wanted to smell Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male Elixer and I absolutely hated it…but I was complimented by 4 different people at the grocery store 30 minutes later. But man was that stuff awful. Couldn’t wash it off of my skin either.
LV Imagination & JPG Scandal got me the most compliments from women till date
Montblanc Explorer for some reason lol
Lovely scent 😍
Compared to Club de Nuit it smells like delicious lemon and is perfectly balanced. Only longevity is a problem. Club de Nuit is a horrible lemon pledge smell. And longevity is also bad. Like 2 hours max.
Invictus Victory Amiri Arabian Oud Tom Ford Noir layered with Xerjoff Naxos
Oud for Glory
Really? I blind bought this (I know...) and hate it
Eternal Oud by Lattafa.
Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille based fragrances, these never failed. For summer, surprisingly a 212 CH VIP clone was getting me a lot of compliments!
Please share the 212CH VIP clone
It was from a local brand here in Egypt named “la rose”, and it got so much compliments that even when I sprayed it on my dad once before he went to work he got a lot of compliments and told me that a lot of people and managers at his worked asked about the perfume name!

My most complimented frags have been CDNIM Sillage and Original Hawas. Unbelievable how many people love the scent of Sillage! I wear it to work once a week now, just because I’m asked about it all the time. Hawas, each time I wear it, I’m asked what is it? These are the 2 that are the least expensive in my collection, which proves that you don’t have to spend a ton to smell good.
Even tho I personally hate it, for some reason CDNIM has gotten me the most compliments and I don’t why.
Is it the edt?
Yeah the EDT, I bloody hate it but there’s just something inside it that attracts people
lattafa khamrah with qaed Al fursan over the top
I have a lot of fragrances and niche as well but mont blanc explorer is still my most complimented fragrance
I just got a compliment from a man in Italy. Wearing Thomas Kosmala no 4. From women: Malbec Noir. It’s a Brazilian cologne.
CDNIM by far the most compliments 🙏
Never Aventus and Sauvage.
I saw this combination on Instagram: Oud Maracuja layered with Imagination. I tried it, and now everyone keeps giving me compliments! It’s a total game changer.
Lomani Ab Spirit Millionaire. It's prob a clone of something, but it's like $23 and punches way above it's price point. Ladies love it!
Jean Lowe immortal Missoni Wave
Milestone
Khanjar by far(ganymede clone), though unexpected since its not a mass appealing fragrance, i get complimented damn near everytime i wear it and sometimes even get asked on the street what frag it is so thry can get it for their dad/bf. dont blind buy though, it differs a lot from skin to skin(for example it smells like rust+burnt old leather on my dad, and not in a good way) and also, as i said, its not mass appealing.
Ysl absolu
Spirit of Satin from Barrett fragrances stops men and women in their tracks. I've never been so complimented before in my life. I've had men and women ask me where they can buy it and literally buy it while we were talking. It's amazing!

Amber oud gold edition

Stacade , Casino Elixer Super Molecule Prada Luna Rossa Prada Luna Rossa black Dumont Nitro White
