Pros & Cons

  • alexo.1924: 'this dupe right here is absolutely incredible, one of the closest inspirations i've ever seen from an arab house... it lasts for pretty fucking long time for the price you pay for this (7-8 hours), with really good projection on the first 2 hours.'
  • 1ryker: 'For being this cheap, it's an absolute steal. I honestly like this over the original. It has a more refined leather note and is really well balanced. Performance is solid too.'
  • Heichy1225: 'It smells really good, especially in the dry-down... the quality is surprisingly good—perfect for those who love sweet fragrances. It lasts long on clothes and the scent really clings.'
  • picklelogic: 'I tried SWYI at Sephora and was impressed but didn't want to spend that much money, bought this soon after and smells identical... If you like sweet, warm spice smells in the winter (think vanilla spiced rum) I really recommend it.'
  • DanyGeany: 'It has something dark about it that pairs really well with its gourmand sweetness! Longevity/projection better than expected, and the value is right.'

  • It smells really good, especially in the dry-down. I bought this last year for a cheap price, but the quality is surprisingly good—perfect for those who love sweet fragrances. It lasts long on clothes and the scent really clings.
  • If you like sweet, warm spice smells in the winter (think vanilla spiced rum) I really recommend it, the amber and warm spices really strong and I have gotten compliments on that
  • Not as thick as the Armani but well executed... The quality obviously isn't quite on par with the original but it's very good for the low price.
  • Kaonashi9: the opening 'exude[s] a warmer toned blast of that generic, synthetic, designer sport cologne scent' — enjoyable only after it smooths out.
  • Loukas999: 'It tries to come close to the SWYI, but fails halfway' — perceives significantly more lavender and leather than the original.
  • VITONATOR: 'Pretty similar to SWYI before drying, but it has that awful shitish scent, don't blind buy it, it's really hard to like in my opinion.'
  • Hun0r: 'it's pure vanilla but idk why I smell this cheap oud in the dry down which makes it overwhelming to me.'
  • Calbary: 'I can understand why people say it smells synthetic, but it doesn't smell bad by any means.'
  • Sillage may be too subtle for some
  • Not ideal for hot summer days
  • I can understand why people say it smells synthetic
  • I smell this cheap oud in the dry down which makes it overwhelming to me
