If you had just $500 to spend on fragrances or a fragrance, how would you spend your hard earned money and why ? me personally I’d go Niche I truly get a more satisfying after the purchase is made

I’ve been a bit inactive lately I’ve been extremely busy with work as I have a Feature Film in Full Production but during my absence I’ve made a decision to purchase Niche Fragrances mainly and a few Designer here and there my most recent purchase and my scent of the day

Hey fellas, Thought I'd share my adventures with Marwa yesterday. I know I haven't posted much but I've been going through all the bottles I've acquired over the past couple of months and man, let me tell you. First off, to the Youtubers out there who say, "don't worry about maceration"...that's a damn lie. There is SUCH a huge difference in scent profile, projection, and longevity for these ME fragrances once they sit. Marwa is a prime example. I have others that have shifted as well that I'll be sharing experiences with in the future, too. Marwa is a LV Imagination dupe. I've never smelled the original so I can't say how it compares (I'd love to try the LV's given their popularity but I can't even find a decent decant at a reasonable price). I blind-bought this one on hype and when I first got it, I didn't know what to think. I didn't love it, but I didn't hate it. Here is the interesting bit, I bought it, let it sit for a couple of months...tried it once on an arm during that process and was still on the fence, and then finally yesterday decided to go all in and wear it in my "fragrance-free" office. I emphasize fragrance-free because that's what I was told but I was also almost knocked out by a woman wearing something Ariana Grande-like and realized it was BS. I'd been getting away with freshies every day and likely because they smell clean and unoffending I didn't hear anything. But smelling what I'm smelling on others I realized the "fragrance-free" nonsense is really just, "don't overspray Sauvage Elixir dummies" and you're fine...LOL. Anyways, Marwa is interesting to me. For starters, it starts and finishes very linear to me. I didn't catch much of the cinnamon though you sense it's there. The ginger and black tea were the most prominent notes and honestly all I smelled all-day from start-to-finish. At times it almost smelled like clean laundry on me but I wouldn't say it's straight Downy by any means. The kicker though, not only was it clean (and compliment-worthy from the wife), but it lasted all freaking day. I put it on about 5:30a before I left for work and after 5p when I got home...still could smell it on my arms and was even catching whiffs throughout the day.

One of my favorites in the collection. First impression a spiced rindy citrus mixed mixed with an earth scent. Reminds me slightly of Tygar and Versace Pour Homme but nowhere near as fresh or common. This is a scent for a confident man who wants to smell different than the run of the mill guy. Applied 8 sprays and from my experience lasts an easy 8 or more hours. Granted I have a 2018 batch. Rating 10 out of 10 Sample before buying IMHO.

Good morning gentlemen. This is rapidly becoming one of my favourite fragrances. I could quite easily adopt this as my signature scent for this time of year.
