@@Kunal-i4n from what I understand, no. I have only smelled the EDT and this one, but I've heard people say the PP makes this redundant

@@user-xm1mz9yv5o all true. These are all some of the strongest frags in my collection, and they were inexpensive. If you like em, these are a hard value to beat.

@@IAmBolverk I can't imagine my experience is representative. It smells too good

@@brandi5730 depends on the fragrance. I'd wear cloud, sure. I probably wouldn't wear sweet like candy out and about even though I like it, but if I am just hanging out at home, I'll give my wrist a spritz to enjoy!

@@joesmellsgood I’m the same way I sneak and wear some men’s fragrances to lol ! I love the vanilla spice type ones

@@brandi5730 absolutely! I'd say about 1/3rd of my collection is targeted for women. Idk what to say, y'all smell really great.

@@joesmellsgood love that 👍❤️

@@Michaelmorris25997 I get the comparisons, it doesn't smell exactly like Haltane/OFG OR Savauge Elixer, but has characteristics of both. It has the body of Haltane without as much of the Oud and some of the spiciness of Elixer. If you're looking for a more pure version of Haltane, the new Detour Noire Eco might be more in line with what you want. If you're into the idea of a twist that has shared DNA from both, then this may work. Though I didn't see Solon on Athena's website anymore. Just in the premium discovery set

@@joesmellsgood I don’t mind the twist but I’m not sure how people will take it, I want to make sure what I’m wearing is palatable for people since I live in the US and am 21 years old. I was contemplating between Solon and ABHA. I heard ABHA has a funk to it and but I’m not sure if it’d be too much for western noses. I like how both of their notes are looking and this will be a complete blind buy, but I trust your taste in fragrances 🙏🏼 if you had to go with one being my age and for complement factor and uniqueness, which would you go for? (I reached out to them I can still get a bottle of Solon even with it not being on the website)

@@Michaelmorris25997 I am 38, but between the two you stated, I personally prefer Abha and don't find it too funky myself. That being said, this is actually an insane value cause it's like 14 3ml bottles, which means you get like 5 wearings or more per sample. You may find that one of the 14 you like WAY better. Edit: Solon is probably the safer choice for you, but I'd still recommend the discovery set because it gives you so many options and enough juice to wear for a couple months probably

@@Michaelmorris25997 I'd also say that Solon will not be taken poorly at all by western audiences. It dials down the Oud that COULD be challenging and amps up the spiciness, so it's broadly appealing imo.

@@joesmellsgood Hmm… In that case, I think I’ll risk it with ABHA. I think it terms of uniqueness it’s more unique since it’s a twist on a more expensive discontinued product. I just pray it will suit me at 21 years old here in California and that me and everyone around me will enjoy it. Thanks Joe 🤝🏼

Thank you so much! That's very kind!

@@shuku09 this is all I have been thinking about since recording. I'll talk about it more in the next video, but the short version is that I don't think it's redundant to Club Black, probably a decent alternative to the PDM because it is very similar and half the price

@@alexcelestin98 thank you!

@@williamburns6689 nailed it 🤣

@@johnadair4693 thanks John!

@@kenobiswift thank you so much!

@@MarioAguila I haven't had much luck with FW clones, Paris Corner makes a nice clone I've tried though. How's the fragrance world one?

@@kristofraemdonck and? What're your thoughts?

@@joesmellsgood I have not yet given it a full wear. But my first impressions are positive. I do not get the original, at all. This is in my opinion a stand alone fragrance hinging on a pleasant nutmeg/saffron/leather combo with a sandalwood baseline. Not challenging at all. Nevertheless a nice addition to my collection

@@saulgoo2334 I will, just haven't had a chance to pick it up yet

@@saulgoo2334 it'd be pretty funny if they did 🤣🤣

@@SquallMonteZ I've had several grow on me substantially, but not sure it's not worth the immediate sell you're talking about

@@joesmellsgood I just sell them because i'm not the person who likes to collect much. I just like to have a nice number of fragrances on my collection and not hundreds and hundreds. But thats just the way i do.

@@SquallMonteZ I'm getting close to doing a massive purge. I like collecting, but there is an awful lot of bloat and waste in my collection. A lot of figuring out what I do and don't like.

@@jaymeez I know, I'm sorry. You're singing my wife's song

@@rubenfajardo4782 I could totally see that. Glad you have success with it!

This is the brand new 2024 one right? How's I compare to the limited edition one from 2021?

@@ItDoesntMATTERwhatYourNameIS this is the limited edition from 2021. I haven't picked up the new one, but have been considering it...

@@Sultan_Essence thank you so much!

@@kenobiswift 🤣🤣🤣

@@johnadair4693 I could see that habit a similar effect. I think The One is just asking for citrus

@@DwyaneWadeCounty I REALLY like it, but have experienced no panties dropping

@@mttqll8623 opening is fire for sure

Who makes it?

@@joesmellsgood dumont / fragrance name nitro black intense

It's such a strange reaction. I've been spending more time with Starwalker since recording and think it may even be better than how I felt in the video, but I still don't choose it. I'm gonna have to do a followup at some point. Thanks for watching!

@@FragranceDOUD thanks so much!!

No, that's pretty genius actually. Give me enough to enjoy and then I'm out... That's smart!

What is Brown a clone of? I was pretty middling on the Tygar DNA at first, but it grew on my aggressively and I don't quite know why. "this smells awesome, I'm not gonna wear it" is a 50 times better than the one I came up with!

@@joesmellsgood I've read Brown is supposed to be a clone of YSL Tuxedo, I"ve never smelled Tux so I can't say how close it is but Brown really is awesome.

@@Sum1Stoopid I haven't smelled tux either but I have Kismet and Rochas is on the way as well. That is absolutely one of my favorite DNAs. Wore that to my brother in laws wedding. Was perfect. Think Imma wear it today.

@@joesmellsgood Turathi Brown isn't crazy expensive (I think I paid $38??) It's totally blind buy worthy - it smells much more 'expensive'. Like your channel btw, already subbed. FWIW I think this video is a lot more interesting than the generic lists of good frags most other ppl put out, best wishes!

@@Sum1Stoopid thanks! I'm trying to veer away from the 500,000th one of those videos, though sometimes they can be fun to make. Appreciate the sub! May pick that one up...

I still need to get a bottle but just moved so haven't been able to spend as much as my heart desires 😢. Great scent though, I'd say I get 4ish hours or so which is pretty standard for ADP for me. Maybe a bit longer as a skin scent if I get warmed up. Thanks for watching!

@@joesmellsgood Alright, 4 hours is enough for me tbh. Good luck in your new home sir! I wish you many more happy moments and new fragrance bottles in it haha

@@dinopalavra876 thank you so much! Excited to find new places to shoot videos!

Extremely unprofessional! And you've discovered my secret, I ACTUALLY work for Initio and it's my life's mission to bring Lattafa down! You'll not stop me so easily!

Thank you so much!!

I think you're right about it VS real Aventus. It's one of my favs as well!

I have a sample and have been spending time with it. This house does woodsy fragrances so well!

I think this is a fun one!

Man, once I get settled in, I'm gonna hit you up to give me a list again of these because they sound great! Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it!

@@joesmellsgood The gardenia one was really nice, but was the best after dry down. I’d love to hear your review of Quorum. I think it’s outside your wheelhouse. A full bottle is like 15 bucks. It’s been called the most masculine fragrance of all time. It’s from the 80’s and I bet if you did an unboxing first impressions video it’d get a lot of attention. They have vintage 7mil sample sizes on eBay. Pleeease. Also Agua Brava by the same company (Puig) is beautiful and really inexpensive. It has pine and bay leaf in it. It smells like you cooked a big Italian meal and went walking through the forest. Please review these! I love your channel!

@@saulgoo2334 I screenshot this comment to not forget. I'll try and pick them up soon and do a subscriber request video

@@joesmellsgood I am really looking forward to it. You are a legend Joe and you don’t even know it!

Thank you so much! And thank you for the recommendations, I'll keep an eye out!

Gotta let nature know what's up! I have certainly given it several sprays like you've suggested. It's grown on me for sure, but I think I'm gonna rest on it until the fall and see how it's developed
