As far as Fierce is concerned, I will say that DNA has pulled in more compliments for me in like 15 years than any other. I've had women from ages 18 - 40s absolutely adore it. The only other kind of fragrances that have given me this kind of broad appeal are aquatic freshies, and as most of you know none of those are terribly memorable, but they are safe. I was never able to replicate that with Mont Blanc Legend or other clones. There is one exception to this, and that would be DUA's Fierce Attar. It projects and has longevity similar to the original early 2000s Fierce. I have smelled it side by side with a bottle of vintage 2007-2011ish Fierce, Fierce Intense, and current formula Fierce and it is definitely worthy. I suggest checking it out of you enjoy this DNA.

Yes, I think that "dubious choices" or "Think Twice" would be a better title than "worst fragrances". Armani fragrances are never cheap. So, I think think there are better choices for the amount you will be being under the Armani name.

Haven't encountered Lagerfeld for Men but I own Bois de Vetiver and honestly I really like it. It's a very rose-heavy scent which I imagine would be very polarising for a men's scent but it's certainly quite unique in that respect and still comes across as quite masculine. Performance isn't great but what can you do.
@jove1155 11 ай бұрын
Bois de Vetiver smells great. I put it up to Guerlain Vetiver, Daniel Josier Vetiver, Montale Red Vetiver, Mancera Vetiver Sensuel and I preferred it to most of them.
@richardkolnsberg4418 11 ай бұрын
It’s a shame about the Karl Lagerfeld for Men because Lagerfled’s mid/late 80s KL Homme remains one of the most amazing fragrances I have ever encountered. Citrus, florals and amber curated with dry and soft woods. It was my first exposure to smokiness in a scent and stands on top of all amber/smoky scents I have experienced since.
@vanderleitadeudesouza3358 11 ай бұрын

I can agree that the Armani lui isnt the most exciting one on the market and perhaps the quality or formula has changed over the years, so what I have isn't what's being sold right now, but as far as all around pleasantness of a scent goes, it has always been one of my favourites. Any time I smell it "I (still) like this.", never "Enough of this". There's been a few years (or itterations of the scent?) where I went noseblind after two minutes. And no, it wasn't during 2020-2022. But that was probably a me issue, not the scent being too weak.

Call me crazy, but sometimes I want to have a fragrance that doesn't feel like a fragrance. Just a light combined smell of existence. Like when it wouldn't be appropriate to wear a scent or I just wanted to be neutral smelling.... That is when I use Karl Lagerfeld for men. You are right, it is not a scent i desire to wear but more like a room spray Karl Lagerfeld probably liked and then bottle and had sold.

I own a 25,000$ collection and get more compliments on that blend then any of my other frags except a few Maison Anthony Marmin attars . Notably (Musk Aswad and Amber Al Quds which dwarf dam near any and all frags on aroma and complements will almost start to bother you from so many random people asking what that smell is Shocked how many in the frag community are sleeping on the Maison Anthony Marmin oils which are on a whole different level compared to other frags .
