I like this house. I purchased six bottles last year and have given them all a decent running. The perfumes are consistent in quality and all quite smooth after a few weeks. But I definitely have favorites. I might order a few others but the problem is always stock availability. I'm weighing these against the originals. I have owned or sampled all the inspirations so I can do the two arm test. I. Alcantara Supreme. This is Chanel Allure Homme Superleggera. I was actually very pleased with the Chanel limited release. The Montagne has an intense grapefruit opening with a somewhat coarse citrus wood heart. Aldehydes are the main note to me. I think this is a fair representation of Allure but it's lacking that something special from the Chanel. The clone can stand on its own though. 8/10 II. Brooklyn Jazz. It's Maison Margiela Jazz Club. I love that one. I'm wearing it tonight. Unfortunately the prices on testers doubled last year. The EDT is often stated as the downside but I get good performance and lift with it. The Montagne is an airier version that's lacking the deep rum underpinning of the MM. It's pretty close but the performance is around 2 hours. It doesn't feel like I'm wearing Jazz Club. 5/10 III. Carnal Grey Extrait. Gris Charnel Parfum, and this one delivers well. The fig vanilla isn't as creamy but the spicy tea comes through. I won't be missing the MFK with this bottle. 9/10 IV. Sicilian Tobacco (2025). The newest Naxos clone. People had complaints about the former versions. I think there are three now. This one SLAYS. It's a little less honeyed than Naxos. It's not going to replace the Xerjoff but it's fantastic. 10/10 V. Monkey Special. It's... Monkey Special from the Xerjoff Iommi line. It smells a lot like Monkey Special. I don't think it's as raw or potent as the Xerjoff and I can only get ~4 hours from it. I was expecting this one to be nuclear but it kind of leans into passionfruit over rum and leather. It's a little different than other MS clones I have in an odd way, like Coke vs RC Cola. Good but not in the same league as Xerjoff. 8/10

Today was my first day wearing Mission Fragrance Commitment, and I wanted to share some honest, simple thoughts from a full day of wear. From the first spray, this fragrance felt intentional and put together. It didn’t hit me with anything loud or overwhelming. Instead, it came across as smooth, confident, and well-balanced. There’s a clean freshness at the opening that immediately made me feel polished, like I had my day under control. As the day went on, the scent settled into something warmer and more grounded. It stayed close enough to feel personal, but present enough that I knew it was still there. This is the kind of fragrance that doesn’t beg for attention—it earns it quietly. It feels professional, dependable, and mature without being boring. Performance-wise, I was pleasantly surprised. It lasted through most of my day without needing to reapply, and it wore evenly without turning harsh or flat. The scent stayed consistent, which I appreciate, especially for an everyday wear fragrance. Overall, my first experience with Mission Fragrance Commitment was a good one. It feels like a fragrance built for consistency, confidence, and reliability—something you can reach for without overthinking. After one full day of wear, I can already tell this is a scent that lives up to its name.
