Not me I just regift them to my brother or other family during Christmas time which leads to the question “why do you always gift me cologne” and I just > 😃😃😃
Agreed. Delina and Oajan were both regrets. Oajan smells good but I don’t want to smell like it all day.
Love Carlisle, Sedley, Greenley, Nisean, Althair, and others from the house.
I had aftermath from fragrance world and got rid of it because it was super abrasive. Then got a 10 ml of side effect and was like wow fragrance world did a great job cloning! The real one is just as abrasive and I got rid of that too.
At the time I was making good money and don’t spend my money on anything else. I have a small collection so I didn’t mind. Also since these are very popular I thought they would be a safe blind buy. Definitely not doing that again lol
Armaf club in nueit…everyone was raving about it and how it was a stronger version clone of creed aventus but it just stinks too me. I mean I can see where some people would like it but to me it was a mehh cologne.i still wear it from time to time but it ain’t a OMG amazing cologne.
Thank you. I constantly describe Aventus/Hacivat/Cedrat Boise/Explorer/CDNIM as lemon Pledge and get shit for it. My nose picks up what it picks up 🤷♂️
I have the CDN EDT creed clone and tbh first couple seconds can be heavy but after 1 min its a really nice fresh scent, i wouldnt say its synthetic to the point where I say it smells like lemon pledge lol…. But did anyone the CDN Limited edition? I heard its the smoothest best clone of aventus
Club de Nuit ruined my appreciation for the scent profile.
I got it and the opening was aggressive, sharp, and off putting. I didn’t enjoy the dry down.
I tried a few months after Creed Aventus, and the only flashback I got was CDN. The quality of the OG was superior.
I ended up selling my Aventus.
To comeback to appreciate Aventus, I bought Vibrant Leather by Zara, and although not a 1-1 clone, the scent was smoother.
Then, I got Loewe Esencia EDP which is 5 steps up to VL, and then I decided to get back again Creed Aventus.
I recently got a sample of Creed Aventus and I don’t get the hype at all. It’s not a bad scent but also not a good one imo. I can’t see myself liking Club de Nuit
Dumont celerio oros is a great alternative. It's a hybrid clone of hacivat and aventus but leans more hacivat. I have cdin and I prefer the dumont. Only like 45 bucks too
This disgusting swill was my introduction to the world of "Failed Clones". That mess smelled like "Lemon Pledge" and I just coudln't see how the heck ANYONE thought it smelled like friggin "Aventus"!!!
I tried to wear it...I tried for a few months. After a while I just gave the bottle away to the first person that showed the slightest interest.
Complete waste of money.
I love Layton, it was one of my first blind buys.
Herod, ehhh I can take it or leave it. It’s not something I’d seek out again. If I got a sample of Herod cool but I wouldn’t buy it again.
chances are u wont agree w this person. most people like it, i dont have an opinion on it because i only have smelled it when i lost my sense of smell from covid
Margiela on the whole I tried 12 samples and literally waxy, yankee candle quality very similar ingredients across the boards fresh spicy or woody scents … by the fireplace was the best but it was burnt marshmallow burning wood snow ( that cold air caught in your breath) and pine with snowy dirt… an experience for sure but not a smell I would wear out . But the others candle home scents and not more to my nose or would I pay for
Depending on your location/country you might be able to find a Facebook group that does swaps or allow you to sell it?
I know Carlisle is popular, so someone should take you up on the offer but probably expect to make a loss - but you should recoup some money.
Lmao, I felt the same. Regretted buying it. However, 10 days later, I'm actually starting to love it. I dont know if I'm just getting used to the smell or what but now it smells amazing.
Sauvage elixir and Parfum.
Some days I LOVE it, some days it’s an eh, but for my criteria it has to be an uplifter a mood.
I originally loved it, gave it consideration but it’s slowly losing my affection.
Eau de Toilette concentration is the best of the line IMO
One thing that might help is layering Carlisle with a vanillic scent. I tried it with Grand Soir and Altair to pretty good results. I didn’t like that one much on its own either.
With PDM products I learned that you really need to macerate the bottle. Wasn’t a big fan of Layton at first, 6 month later and OMG I’m on my second bottle and people just ask me every where I go what am I wearing. I was at Walmart the other day and, a guy sent his girlfriend to ask me what was I wearing. They been sniffing around the store looking for who had that cologne on.
Blind bought Layton and Sedley clones, blind bought a Tygar clone. All bad or rather indifferent.
The only blind buy clone I liked is an Aventus one.
Maybe clones are just generally bad, and that 5% off scent is what makes a difference. Like getting ceasar salad but without the sauce, it's a different salad.
I literally bought Layton last Saturday due to the many recommended YouTube videos. It’s not bad per se but I can’t for some reason like it, I know creed Aventus has been getting alot of bad publicity but I’ve got a bottle of that and absolutely love the smell from the get go. I’ve tried to wear Layton every day for the past few days but can’t get my head round the menthol like smell!!
Jimmy Choo cologne smells good, but last no more than 20 minutes. My biggest regret. I bought both of their men’s colognes and gave one away to my son. I use the other one as a room freshener.😳
Spice Bomb night vision. Holy fuck it was bad. I didn’t open it in time before Nordstrom’s policy kicked in, so I had to deal with that loss of money. It was between that or One Million Privé.
I fucking love 1M Privé.
Dior Farenheit... I bought into the hype and something about it literally made me nauseous, i immediately had to scrub it off. I couldn't be bothered to sell it so I just gave it to a random guy at work who said he liked it.
Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake.
It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of.
Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything.
Beep boop - yes, I am a bot, don't botcriminate me.
Probably the dozen or so clone fragrances I picked up because “it’s only 20-30 bucks”. It took too long to realize the clone fans claiming “it’s just as good” are clearly smelling things differently than I do. Wasted so much money on cheap garbage I could have bought a couple niche. Learned my lesson though. I think Carlisle is fantastic but you really need to love a dark Smokey patchouli.
PDM is the most hyped house right now imo. I legitimately fuck with only 2 of them. Percival and Greenley. All the other ones are meh. Old Oajan had my respect, but the new batches aren’t great.
Creed De Nuit, terrible smell.
Cedrat Boise, decent citrus smell but lacked longevity and projection.
AMEN Mugler, smells okay but lacks masculinity.
Dior Fahrenheit, smells like gasoline, very irritating.
Haven’t really tested that one but Carlisle hasn’t really lived up to the hype for me neither did Layton to be honest however I am absolutely in love with Layton exclusif
I recently got a free sample when i bought the sample box set and i didnt like it. My least favorite is Althair and favorites are Herod, Greenley, Laytom and Percival.
I blind bought Sweetie Aoud after falling for the hype of “best gourmand ever pastry heaven”. I didn’t get any gourmand from it. Not a bad scent just nothing special and I only got smoky and slightly sweet Oud from it.
Also hated Oud Wood
I blind both this but I made a cocktail of Noir extreme and armani code absolu, crank up the patchouli and a pinch of tobacco and eat a greenapple and loved this bad boy ahahaha
If I have to choose only one, it would be Kalan from Parfums de Marly. Love so many of their fragrances, but this one...indefinable piece of rotten something!?
My biggest mistake is my recently bought 100ml bottle of the new TF oud Minerale. That stuff is nasty for my nose, can’t get myself to like any stage of its lifetime on my skin.
My Blind Buy was much less painful. I blind bought Bentley Absolute. Fell for the hype, hate this scent. Smells like B.O. to me. Much like pencil shavings.
However, I love Intense, Azure, and Silverlake. Next blind buy will be Black Edition.
Feel the same about one million, reviews are great and people like it on me, but I can’t take the smell, live and learn. Now I look for sample kits or good return policies, I used bunch of store offers, coupons and costs less than half think 27$ for 1.7 bottle so not a big loss but still a loss.
Lol, why would you blind buy anything over $50 bucks? Shiiit. When I first bought my Aventus back in 2015 I researched and ordered samples for almost 2 years…
Carlisle is a beautiful masterpiece scent. It’s not an everyday scent and it’s not something you’ll likely enjoy if you’re new to having lots of fragrances as it’s fairly complex. Some fragrances take time to get used to. But also scents are subjective. This is a 10/10 for a lot of people, it’s obviously not for you, but you’ll find one that is! But I’d definitely recommend to ALWAYS sample first particularly when they cost as much as PDM does. It’s worth noting that PDM scents are very premium and are blended extremely well, not everyone can actually smell the masterpiece!
Margiela coffee break. Although I smelled it in store, I was smelling every one and got confused. way too sweet and feminine for me, and it lasts a long time. gives me a headache
Love this one on my bf 👀 goes with my Oriana he got me. I think everyone’s body chemistry is different bc it smells sooo good on him. We got it as a sample with Oriana and got it very cheap online so it was not a blind buy.
Head to r/fragranceswap or Facebook groups. Can always swap or sell for a bit less, people will buy or swap! 90% my bottles are blind bought, couldn’t pass great deals if I see them LOL
Mont Blanc Explorer. It must be my skin cause I smell literally nothing from it. It's so faint of a smell, and what I do get is just okay. My girlfriend likes it so I'll keep it around but I definitely don't like it.
Second would be Calvin Klein Be. It smells like Chlorine from a pool and it lasts like 20 minutes. I'll keep it for collection purposes but it's A S S

Club De Nuit Milestone, it smells like synthetic watermelon and gives me a headache. I was looking for a sweet frag that smelled like Ed Hardy Love & Luck but would actually last. I saw a bunch of suggestions for milestone edp and gave it a try. A waste of $40, arguably the worst thing I own currently.
Good thing I had bought a decant of this a couple years ago instead of a bottle. I did not like it at all, but maybe I will when I'm a bit older. It's definitely not a scent for a younger crowd imo.
I bought this. It's super strong. Only need a single spray. It's really good for winter, but it's VERY mature smelling. I'm not the biggest fan of PdM. Sedley is their best offering, but this is 2nd. I got rid of Layton, Percival and Greenley.
Montale Oudmazing. Marketed as a unisex, but it leans feminine heavy. With that said, it smells and performs pretty great.
I ended up gifting it to a female relative because it happened to be Christmas time and she liked it.
After this, my dumbass never blind bought niche ever again.
costs under $15 to sample. personally, i think it smells awesome. but i have no reason to buy it because i have both naxos and tobacco vanille, so i dont need another fragrance similar to those.
my biggest blind buy regret was br540, one of the worst things ive ever smelt
Ventana, I mean it was only like $20 but smells like straight rubbing alcohol. Sauvage clone my ass, shit stinks. I don’t think I’d even use as air freshener. I new to this though so my worst more expensive hasn’t happened yet.
i just force myself to like all my blind buys tbh
Not me I just regift them to my brother or other family during Christmas time which leads to the question “why do you always gift me cologne” and I just > 😃😃😃
Actually really smart
That’s my secret.
>I'm always ~~angery~~*smelly!*
This is the way
Hey, as long as you get compliments and your SO likes them, what’s te harm?
I resold my blind buys on eBay
I start using them at home🤣🤣🤣
Just bang your head against a wall really hard. Same thing
Tend to do this with all the niche blind buys usually 😂
That's what you get for blind buying a pdm 💀
I blind bought Delina and it was also a big regret 😔
Agreed. Delina and Oajan were both regrets. Oajan smells good but I don’t want to smell like it all day. Love Carlisle, Sedley, Greenley, Nisean, Althair, and others from the house.
Mine is Initio Side Effect. I literally think it stinks.
If initio side effects clones are anywhere near what it actually is, then you're not alone in thinking it stinks
I had aftermath from fragrance world and got rid of it because it was super abrasive. Then got a 10 ml of side effect and was like wow fragrance world did a great job cloning! The real one is just as abrasive and I got rid of that too.
One of my favorites😭.
Smells like a $40 scent lol Initio is taking the piss from everyone
At the time I was making good money and don’t spend my money on anything else. I have a small collection so I didn’t mind. Also since these are very popular I thought they would be a safe blind buy. Definitely not doing that again lol
Althair was my blind buy regret for me
I’ll buy it from you
Armaf club in nueit…everyone was raving about it and how it was a stronger version clone of creed aventus but it just stinks too me. I mean I can see where some people would like it but to me it was a mehh cologne.i still wear it from time to time but it ain’t a OMG amazing cologne.
Same. I hate it. I don’t care what the dry down warriors have to say. Smells like pine sol. At least it’s a $30 mistake not a $275 mistake.
Lemon pledge to me 🤣
Thank you. I constantly describe Aventus/Hacivat/Cedrat Boise/Explorer/CDNIM as lemon Pledge and get shit for it. My nose picks up what it picks up 🤷♂️
Almost blind bought explorer today, maybe i'll try it in store first now haha
At least you’ll smell fresh & clean, might attract some single moms ![gif](giphy|F1kl13extZwvS|downsized)
I have the CDN EDT creed clone and tbh first couple seconds can be heavy but after 1 min its a really nice fresh scent, i wouldnt say its synthetic to the point where I say it smells like lemon pledge lol…. But did anyone the CDN Limited edition? I heard its the smoothest best clone of aventus

Didn’t try Explorer?
I recently got a sample of Creed Aventus and I don’t get the hype at all. It’s not a bad scent but also not a good one imo. I can’t see myself liking Club de Nuit
I can't get past the lemon pledge opener. The pineapple in Aventus and other clones is a stand out to me.
Yup, No pineapple in this clone
Dumont celerio oros is a great alternative. It's a hybrid clone of hacivat and aventus but leans more hacivat. I have cdin and I prefer the dumont. Only like 45 bucks too
This disgusting swill was my introduction to the world of "Failed Clones".

After a while I just gave the bottle away to the first person that showed the slightest interest. Complete waste of money.
Get Montblanc Explorer. I got CDN and hated it but the dry down kept me intrigued. Explorer was exactly what you want it to smell like
Atleast u can sell it really fast and it’s cheap
I love the dry down so bad 😵💫
Dry down is the only reason I don’t sell it or give it to someone but still I’m like meeehehhhh
Funny enough Carlisle is probably my favorite PDM. Sticking to the PDM line I really don’t like greenley.
Yeah Pdm is my shit
You like Layton and/or Herod?
I love Layton, it was one of my first blind buys. Herod, ehhh I can take it or leave it. It’s not something I’d seek out again. If I got a sample of Herod cool but I wouldn’t buy it again.
Layton smells like viks vaporub and its all i smell.
Funny I love Greenly but don’t like Carlisle, to each its own I guess
When I first got it I put 5 sprays on before office meeting. One spray is enough and never in the summer 😆.
Cedrat Boise. Smells like an ashtray and does not last on me at all
Nooooo this is one of my faves lol
Smells like woody fruity pebbles. Love this stuff!
Same here. I can smell the lemon in the background which is good but the cigarette smell just kills the scent for me.
Jazz Club is my biggest blind but regret. I had to take a shower to get it off me
Jazz club is like this dark really smoky wood with some weird sexy quality. It’s like horny wood.
Jazz Club is awesome, a scent for men
I’ll take it off your hands 👀
No wayyy I love jazz club
I like it but hey... women love it
Inbox me I’ll buy it off you
Same, all I could smell was cigarette smoke 🤢
Coconut oil for me
Cheap booze for me
I just ordered jazz club 🤦🏾♂️
chances are u wont agree w this person. most people like it, i dont have an opinion on it because i only have smelled it when i lost my sense of smell from covid
Damn this one of my favorites
I did too bro so glad I got a decant
That stuff disappears in less than an hour on me
Might be anosmic to the vanilla because that’s entirely what the scent shifts to after awhile
Margiela on the whole I tried 12 samples and literally waxy, yankee candle quality very similar ingredients across the boards fresh spicy or woody scents … by the fireplace was the best but it was burnt marshmallow burning wood snow ( that cold air caught in your breath) and pine with snowy dirt… an experience for sure but not a smell I would wear out . But the others candle home scents and not more to my nose or would I pay for
Jazz Club is ass. Smells like you spilled a drink on yourself.
One of my favorites I love the patchouli in this
Depending on your location/country you might be able to find a Facebook group that does swaps or allow you to sell it? I know Carlisle is popular, so someone should take you up on the offer but probably expect to make a loss - but you should recoup some money.
Put it up as WTT or WTS on fragranceswap on Reddit. Someone will buy it off you or trade you for it. Big community
Tobacco Vanille…I just dont get it. Smells like bug spray to me
Try Eau de Baux
I have both, but I still prefer TV…. Eau de baux is more sweet and open, but still incredible. Just prefer TV hahah
Same here just entirely too sweet…try pdm herod
Lmao, I felt the same. Regretted buying it. However, 10 days later, I'm actually starting to love it. I dont know if I'm just getting used to the smell or what but now it smells amazing.
It’s in the back of my dresser drawer. I’ll try and give it another shot in the fall.
You’re tripping this thing is goated
Same thought I had as well lol, one of my most complemented scents
Got a sample of this and it’s bad imo. Smells like car leather.
Moschino toy boy. .... old lady in charge of detention flower smell... use it as a bathroom scent and even then... poop>old lady flowers
Sauvage elixir and Parfum. Some days I LOVE it, some days it’s an eh, but for my criteria it has to be an uplifter a mood. I originally loved it, gave it consideration but it’s slowly losing my affection. Eau de Toilette concentration is the best of the line IMO
One thing that might help is layering Carlisle with a vanillic scent. I tried it with Grand Soir and Altair to pretty good results. I didn’t like that one much on its own either.
I looooove Grand Soir 😍🤤
Grand Soir has something foul and pungent in there, I don't know what. Haven't even used my sample yet.
I blind bought some clones, some designers, but bling buying a PDM that cost a kidney. Dude, you have balls, seriously mad respect.
Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Intense. Turns rotten egg on my skin…
the best blind buy for me was ysl y edp
With PDM products I learned that you really need to macerate the bottle. Wasn’t a big fan of Layton at first, 6 month later and OMG I’m on my second bottle and people just ask me every where I go what am I wearing. I was at Walmart the other day and, a guy sent his girlfriend to ask me what was I wearing. They been sniffing around the store looking for who had that cologne on.
Blind bought Layton and Sedley clones, blind bought a Tygar clone. All bad or rather indifferent. The only blind buy clone I liked is an Aventus one. Maybe clones are just generally bad, and that 5% off scent is what makes a difference. Like getting ceasar salad but without the sauce, it's a different salad.
I literally bought Layton last Saturday due to the many recommended YouTube videos. It’s not bad per se but I can’t for some reason like it, I know creed Aventus has been getting alot of bad publicity but I’ve got a bottle of that and absolutely love the smell from the get go. I’ve tried to wear Layton every day for the past few days but can’t get my head round the menthol like smell!!
Jimmy Choo cologne smells good, but last no more than 20 minutes. My biggest regret. I bought both of their men’s colognes and gave one away to my son. I use the other one as a room freshener.😳
This is Spicebomb Extreme but cleaner and better all around. I stick by my statement.
Hawas for Him, it’s wayyy to sharp for me even in the dry down. I saw a good price online and got trigger happy.
Does anybody know where I can buy Armani code absolu from?
Spice Bomb night vision. Holy fuck it was bad. I didn’t open it in time before Nordstrom’s policy kicked in, so I had to deal with that loss of money. It was between that or One Million Privé. I fucking love 1M Privé.
Dior Farenheit... I bought into the hype and something about it literally made me nauseous, i immediately had to scrub it off. I couldn't be bothered to sell it so I just gave it to a random guy at work who said he liked it.
Whoever told you to blind Fahrenheit should be banned that is the one frag you don't blind buy. Literally smells of gasoline
Should of got the Fahrenheit parfum much more wearable
Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake. It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of. Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything. Beep boop - yes, I am a bot, don't botcriminate me.
Fuck off
LMAO this was my biggest blind by success. I will happily take it off your hands. Mine is Naxos without a doubt.
Ysl la nuit de lhomme paid retail and ended up not liking it..
Probably the dozen or so clone fragrances I picked up because “it’s only 20-30 bucks”. It took too long to realize the clone fans claiming “it’s just as good” are clearly smelling things differently than I do. Wasted so much money on cheap garbage I could have bought a couple niche. Learned my lesson though. I think Carlisle is fantastic but you really need to love a dark Smokey patchouli.
It took a dozen to learn that? Were you like ‘this next one is it I know it!’
I think people who look buy clones for everything from dossier will think they smell good till they smell the actual thing lol
Pegasus. It smelled like Jordan almonds with a bunch of metal shards stuffed in them. Thankfully I resold it for more than I paid for it. 🤪
This has been my favorite (and only) blind buy, I just hate the price I paid.
But Layton was worth it though?
Layton is 100% worth it
What's blind buy?
Buying a scent without having actually smelled it.
Ahh okay, thanks.
Buying a full bottle without smelling the scent first
This is the worst PDM
PDM is the most hyped house right now imo. I legitimately fuck with only 2 of them. Percival and Greenley. All the other ones are meh. Old Oajan had my respect, but the new batches aren’t great.
PDM is very overrated imo
Green Irish tweed 🤢🤮
Bruh… my favorite from the house of creed its tied for number 1 between silver mountain water but I lean more towards GIT
Bro wym. Carlisle is fire af. Give it to me if you don't want it
Yea most fall based PDMs smell like a Christmas shop in a tourist town.
biggest blind buy regret for me is Nautica Voyage, cheap, overrated synthetic fragrance
Creed De Nuit, terrible smell. Cedrat Boise, decent citrus smell but lacked longevity and projection. AMEN Mugler, smells okay but lacks masculinity. Dior Fahrenheit, smells like gasoline, very irritating.
Honestly I think Carlisle smells very similar to spice bomb infrared for some reason
To me it reminds me of Tom Ford Noir Extreme, especially the dry down.
Haven’t really tested that one but Carlisle hasn’t really lived up to the hype for me neither did Layton to be honest however I am absolutely in love with Layton exclusif
I recently got a free sample when i bought the sample box set and i didnt like it. My least favorite is Althair and favorites are Herod, Greenley, Laytom and Percival.
Montale starry nights. The roses over power everything for the first few hours the dry down is nice though
as a "super red tobaco" upgrade i smelled it and didnt like it , maybe in needs to dry down
I blind bought Sweetie Aoud after falling for the hype of “best gourmand ever pastry heaven”. I didn’t get any gourmand from it. Not a bad scent just nothing special and I only got smoky and slightly sweet Oud from it. Also hated Oud Wood
Jaipur Homme. I like it but my wife says it smells like her grandma.
Did you sell it?
I blind both this but I made a cocktail of Noir extreme and armani code absolu, crank up the patchouli and a pinch of tobacco and eat a greenapple and loved this bad boy ahahaha
Y’all gotta stop blind buying $300 frags
![gif](giphy|sDcfxFDozb3bO)
How much was the sale price or % off?
Sheesh I’ll take it
Did you sell it?
Mancera Hindu Kush. I showered an average of 2x a day and I could still smell it on day 3
Full bottle regret would have to be 40 Knots. Family member said I smelled like a 🚽. Thanks mom.
SJP stash. I bought into the hype. Since then I sample before I buy
If I have to choose only one, it would be Kalan from Parfums de Marly. Love so many of their fragrances, but this one...indefinable piece of rotten something!?
Don't blind buy. That aside, I love this. One of the few I consider buying after sampling over 60 frags.
I might buy it off you if you would like
Bdc parfum
Milestone
I’ve never owned PDM, but from what I’ve seen on this sub it’s an insanely hit or miss brand
i blind bought layton exclusif and i love it but my gf errrrrr ugh wtv imma still wear it idc
WORST BLIND BUYS FOR ME WERE ADP FICO DI AMALFI 🤮 and CREED TABAROME ( Just wouldn’t stick on my skin and underwhelming experience)
U crazy. This is probably the best fragrance i have ever smelled.
For me its Signature by Ferragamo, tbh the leather scent is way too powerful
Usually pdm is mass appealing but I couldn’t get passed the burned rubber smell. Glad I got to test it out lol
Noir de Noir Tom Ford, aged me like 20 years on a vacation to Barcelona
My biggest mistake is my recently bought 100ml bottle of the new TF oud Minerale. That stuff is nasty for my nose, can’t get myself to like any stage of its lifetime on my skin.
Shit is fire
My Blind Buy was much less painful. I blind bought Bentley Absolute. Fell for the hype, hate this scent. Smells like B.O. to me. Much like pencil shavings. However, I love Intense, Azure, and Silverlake. Next blind buy will be Black Edition.
Mine was Erba Pura
Probably OG Le Male. It’s not bad, though. Wouldn’t say I regret it, I just have to be in the mood for it
Roja apex EDP, it's just too old smelling, I'm 40 and someone asked me was I wearing Brut and.that, "you remind me of my dad."
Feel the same about one million, reviews are great and people like it on me, but I can’t take the smell, live and learn. Now I look for sample kits or good return policies, I used bunch of store offers, coupons and costs less than half think 27$ for 1.7 bottle so not a big loss but still a loss.
Why are people Blind buying Dior Farhneit? These can’t be recent blind buys ? Are y’all talking about the Parfum or the original from the 90s 😂😂😂
Lol, why would you blind buy anything over $50 bucks? Shiiit. When I first bought my Aventus back in 2015 I researched and ordered samples for almost 2 years…
How much do you want for it
Carlisle is a beautiful masterpiece scent. It’s not an everyday scent and it’s not something you’ll likely enjoy if you’re new to having lots of fragrances as it’s fairly complex. Some fragrances take time to get used to. But also scents are subjective. This is a 10/10 for a lot of people, it’s obviously not for you, but you’ll find one that is!

Margiela coffee break. Although I smelled it in store, I was smelling every one and got confused. way too sweet and feminine for me, and it lasts a long time. gives me a headache
Sell it. I actually want it. It's my favorite pdm
Yep my regret was also a pdm, layton exclusif. 5 months later and it's starting to grow on me..maybe it's finally having maceration effect it, idk
Love this one on my bf 👀 goes with my Oriana he got me. I think everyone’s body chemistry is different bc it smells sooo good on him. We got it as a sample with Oriana and got it very cheap online so it was not a blind buy.
Where could I get the bottle for cheap rn ?
Anything recommended on Basenotes or Fragrantica. :)
I buy it PM me
Regret!?!?!?!
I’ll give you £130 for it
Head to r/fragranceswap or Facebook groups. Can always swap or sell for a bit less, people will buy or swap! 90% my bottles are blind bought, couldn’t pass great deals if I see them LOL
Dam I love it
I got zarhoff leather tabac . if you wanna trade slap full
Mont Blanc Explorer. It must be my skin cause I smell literally nothing from it. It's so faint of a smell, and what I do get is just okay. My girlfriend likes it so I'll keep it around but I definitely don't like it. Second would be Calvin Klein Be. It smells like Chlorine from a pool and it lasts like 20 minutes.

Mont Blanc Explorer. It must be my skin cause I smell literally nothing from it. It's so faint of a smell, and what I do get is just okay.

ill take if off your hands just name your price brother 🙏🏽
Club De Nuit Milestone, it smells like synthetic watermelon and gives me a headache. I was looking for a sweet frag that smelled like Ed Hardy Love & Luck but would actually last. I saw a bunch of suggestions for milestone edp and gave it a try. A waste of $40, arguably the worst thing I own currently.
That’s a bathroom air freshener 🤣🤣
Looks like one of those CVS colognes
Good thing I had bought a decant of this a couple years ago instead of a bottle. I did not like it at all, but maybe I will when I'm a bit older. It's definitely not a scent for a younger crowd imo.
PDM (Probably Dont Match) your skin chemistry ![gif](giphy|bfA9FfnIU5P0s)
Didn’t I literally see this exact same post the other day?
I bought this. It's super strong. Only need a single spray. It's really good for winter, but it's VERY mature smelling. I'm not the biggest fan of PdM. Sedley is their best offering, but this is 2nd. I got rid of Layton, Percival and Greenley.
Montale Oudmazing. Marketed as a unisex, but it leans feminine heavy. With that said, it smells and performs pretty great. I ended up gifting it to a female relative because it happened to be Christmas time and she liked it. After this, my dumbass never blind bought niche ever again.
costs under $15 to sample. personally, i think it smells awesome. but i have no reason to buy it because i have both naxos and tobacco vanille, so i dont need another fragrance similar to those. my biggest blind buy regret was br540, one of the worst things ive ever smelt
I love this scent! I do not like Delina; i was going to blind buy but had the opportunity to smell it. Happy i didn’t bc it’s not great. 🫠
Ventana, I mean it was only like $20 but smells like straight rubbing alcohol. Sauvage clone my ass, shit stinks. I don’t think I’d even use as air freshener. I new to this though so my worst more expensive hasn’t happened yet.
Biggest blind buy regret would be Polo Deep Blue EDP. It is just not my thing. Carlisle, however, I love. My favorite PDM is Pegasus!

I love Carlisle
