Jumping straight in
Valentino purple melancholia
Cardamom, lavender, coconut and aberwoods. You can smell them individually, and it gives this warm fuzzy feel. A poor mans gris charnel. Decent 6-8 hr performance. Because I have gris charnel, I am passing on this one, but if you like that backbone, then definitely try it out. Top five Valentino for me. 8.3/10
Polo red edp extreme
Leather, vanilla and ginger. First from the polo line on skin. Definitely has the DNA. Smells like a few frags were dissected and put back into something new. Not bad but simply not exciting. Again a decent 6-8 hr performance. If you really like the polo DNA and want something for winters then go ahead. 7/10
Montagne Port D’Azur
Clone of my favourite summer frag of all time (yet) which is loumari porthole. I can’t decide if i like it as much as the OG. The iodine undertone is not there and i miss it very much. Its everything except that. But other than that its exactly the same for a 1/5th of the price. Better performance than the OG with 6 hrs. Need more wearings to decide which. 9/10
