I’m a fan of Jazz Club but did get a little bored of it from wearing it so much so that one sounds quite nice.
That Duke one sounds interesting. Will try that when I go Chester store again.
From TF private I like Costa Azzurra probably best. Not the acqua version though. Amazing for summer. Beau de jour has just moved from private blend to signature line so can be had for a better price now. Oud Wood is always good if not a bit played out now(to me anyway). I tried Soleil Blanc last year for summer but I just get a bit of a sun cream vibe from it and wasn’t that impressed.
Edit: just to add I also like Mandarino di Amalfi and Azure Lime. Both really good citrus scents but staying power on my skin isn’t beast mode.

Anyone tried/rate the Alexandria Fragrances? Specifically Dark Knight.
I have been wearing a tester of Black Phantom by Kilian and it’s just amazing but a bit of a stretch at 245 quid for 50ml so looking for a clone for now.

They seem to have a decent rep but I’ve never tried any.
The fella who manages Alexandria in the UK is in the Fragheads facebook group and is very helpful.

I'm getting sick of spending so much on aftershaves and then hardly using them when I find another I like haha. Which are the best replica sites in the UK? Any recommendations?
Also, not sure where to put this but any recommendations for nice candles or preferably diffusers? I'd like something for the office

Recommend Eau Sacree by Heeley if anyone's looking for an incense scent that could still work through Spring. Got a bottle from End for 35% off.
Another big recommendation is Ganymede by Marc Antoine Barrois. Fairly safe with the fragrances I buy so this might not be as mind-blowing to others, but this smells amazing. A really bracing, sea smell. With cool, crisp fruit in there and some leather in the background
Also got some samples from Kingdom Scotland. Portal, Albaura and Metamorphic. Albaura's the more interesting one as it's like iced berries, but all smell really high quality. Portal for those woods and Metamorphic for booze and smoke.

That’s cool being able to take the price off a full bottle.
Personally there isn’t much I’d try at the minute(from Nose) I’d recommend Jovoy for samples over Nose to be honest. I’ve got some coming buy a brand called Gissah which has been hyped for the bottle design in the frag groups. Notes sound interesting with different fruits being used for top notes over amber, leather and oud.

Smells to me very similar to Mancera Aoud Vanille but a great scent… sits quite subtle on me but others have noticed it..

Don’t know how from Essenza as they only got their delivery Saturday just gone. That’s why I’ve been waiting a month. Mine got shipped this morning from ordering on 5th Feb
