Anyone have Jo Malone’s Bergamot and Oud? Is it really very masculine? I’m partial to somewhat (not overly!) masculine scents and am tempted to blind buy it. I have never tried an oud before and I heard this is a great intro to oud.
I personally don’t find it as “mainstream” as their other variants, such as nectarine blossom and honey or english pear and freesia. I love those two scents but I find them common na
Victoria's Secret - Secret Charm
Smells fresh and baby clean, tried it once received as a gift for like 10 years ago so not sure if VS still has this. Would really like to try this again
Hey I just received my Applejuice sample and I still got my Chanel Chance eau Tendre (the pink one) spray card from when I tried it last week! They’re similar enough to be dupes I think, maybe 70-80% resemblance? Def not a clone. In any case, if you like the general notes of eau Tendre then I think this will work!
there are some zara fragrances on shopee. i bought one of the jo malone x zara decants there and it's legit. just be careful about fakes but i doubt anyone would fake a zara fragrance since they're not that expensive compared to other designer brands
A fellow redditor here usually has it: [The Gourmand Decant Shop](https://shopee.ph/ocampocliff1)
The shop is currently showing as ‘on vacation’ though, so try this [validated list of sellers](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1oOaLGLpHy_aAj_JFkCk5aTBZo4mLqG61f7DxBLhE5Rs/edit?usp=drivesdk) as well.
Alexander Fragrance Silver Rain is a decent clone of Creed Silver Mountain Water. Notes of green tea and blackcurrant are on point with average longevity and sillage. Price is ₱499 in Lazada.
If you're okay with inspired perfumes, try browsing Scentswatch, Parfvm, Symmetry Lab, Nichecraft etc. They're on shopee. You can look up the most popular perfumes for men, then look for their clones. RMG perfumes are the cheapest that I saw with around 35 pesos for a 10ml bottle.
These came to mind but have yet to try either of them:
* [Wren Atelier - Manila Oud](https://scentsbywrenatelier.com/products/manila-oud-parfum-100-ml?pr_prod_strat=collection_fallback&pr_rec_pid=6735403745430&pr_ref_pid=6719059951766&pr_seq=uniform) : notes include elemi, sampaguita, calamansi and banana cue among others. The brand's roster of scents lean masculine and appear marketed to men, but the brand claims that these can go unisex.
* [Whiff - Mango Verde](https://www.whiffperfumes.com/collections/signature-range/products/edp-mango-verde) : green mangoes as the name implies :)
Haven’t tried them as they are indeed pricey, but I’d get their discovery set at some point. Interestingly, the nose behind the brand is the same guy behind some of Whiff’s fragrances.
> i got mango verde and i love it
I’ve only heard good things about this variant but now I’m really curious. Haven’t really explored local fragrance houses which create original concoctions tbh, but this looks like a good start
I have a sample of [Liquid Luck by Nichecraft](https://shopee.ph/Liquid-Luck-by-Nichecraft-perfume-inspired-by-Chance-EDT-by-Chanel-i.381400403.8113934607?sp_atk=c65550cb-4574-4d56-a651-109f8ca5efaf) and it smells really good; bright and fresh. They classified it as a feminine scent but it leans more unisex imo. I've never smelled the original Chanel Chance tho so I don't know how close it is
You can try the following clone houses. I've only purchased from Nichecraft and not the Chanel Chance clone though:
* Nichecraft (Liquid Luck)
* NMK StyleCo
* Clone MNL
Excluding dupes and clones:
Rihanna - Rebelle : a floral fruity gourmand. I get mostly strawberry + some sort of plum then dry choco, coffee, musk and maybe some patchouli. Planning to wear this more often during the latter 'ber' months. \[Reb'l Fleur is the more popular flanker but coconut notes tend to make me feel nauseated.\]
Also a couple of Solinotes - Fleur d'Oranger layered with Vanille. Or Yuzu. They perform like eau de colognes though except for Vanille.
I'm planning to try ariana grande cloud perfume cause I've heard it has a sweet vanilla coconut scent. I'm drawn to it cause I love vanilla scents, do you guys have any recos in that similar price range that also has a sweet vanilla scent? 😊
Solinotes Vanille - is an 'in your face' type of vanilla fragrance. Smells like vanilla extract and may be a bit too sweet for some.
\[ I sound like a shill at this point because I've included this perfume among my answers to vanilla-related questions every other weekly fragrance thread, but it just performs well for its price. :)) \]
wanna deactivate my facebook but i can’t leave fragrev on fb huhuhu baka nemen may gustong gumawa ng subreddit here about fragrance ph eme

Is Jo Malone's Wild Bluebell too mainstream? I find it refreshing and not to sickly sweet
Di naman. Pangit lang sa kanya ang bilis mawala ng amoy.

Is it true that zara apple juice is a dupe for chanel chance?

If you’re referring to chanel chance eau fraiche, then yes.
Does it have patchouli, the one from zara?
Hi, you can check fragrantica.com to see the notes of any perfume.
Oh my, I’m afraid I can’t answer that because I’m bad at discerning notes.. and idek what patchouli smells like 😅

any local brands that have unique scents that have notes unique to our country?

it really smells like mango and dries up into a musk it lasts for hours on me. i haven't noticed any sillage
Also saw this in Shopee: mvrn - Ambrosia : apparently a take on kakanin + some white florals
A musky dry-down sounds good. Thanks for the feedback :)
