Goodness! This is a beauty. I have on each hand this, and the current from the Exclusifs line which is dainty and shy in comparison. I'd say the drydown of the current EDP has very little to do with Russian leather, more like an approximation of raw meat with some woods and florals. The oil is much more fitting of a raucous flapper from the 20s. The oil is denser, warmer, darker. A beautiful and voluptuous ylang ylang dances with smokey leather. There is a generous amount of birch upfront which gives it a wonderfully, almost masculine feel. It gets sweeter as it dries, and the iris pops out, and I get the connection to other classics like Bois des Iles and No. 5, but this stays Russian leather from start to finish. Seriously good.
Chanel - Cuir de Russie for UnisexNio has a beatiful citrus opening that projects well for the first 1 to 1.5 hours after application.Tt then becomes a skin scent and stays that way for quite a while. The dry down is smooth and very enticing. This is a shyly long-lasting scent; at times you think it is gone only to be pleasantly surprised by beautiful whiffs of this wonderful scent. On my skin, it is still detectable 9 hours after application. Full-bottle worthy
Xerjoff - Nio for Man - A+The best smell ever and exactly like the original Gosh what a beauty !!!!!
Frederic Malle - Portrait Of A Lady Women A+Smell so good had to buy the 50ml bottle.
Maison Francis Kurkdjian - Baccarat Rouge 540 Extrait - A+Smells so good will be buying a bigger bottle. Lasted more than two on a shirt I sprayed it on. I made a spray of out the 5ml I got.
Maison Martin Margiela - Coffee Break for Unisex - A+To my nose this is a gorgeous fruity fragrance that is so good that I kept sniffing my arm through out the wearing. Performance on my skin is very good; easily lasts more than ten hours. Projection is good during the first three hours of application. Definitely full-bottle worthy
Xerjoff - Cruz del Sur II for Unisex - A+This is a very high quality fragrance. It is one of the few oud-based fragrances that can be worn in warmer months. For me, this is a masterpiece. It doesn't assault one's nostril but rather one keeps getting whiffs of it during the wearing. To my nose I get a very smooth creamy, leavers and vanilla scent in the dry down. I keep sniffing my arm. Longevity on my skin is over 10 hours with soft projection for three to four hours after application. I intend to always have this one in my collection. Back-up bottle worthy.
K2773 KSA A++ HQI received this one as a complementary sample with my last order. I must say that this scent has turned out to be a very pleasant surprise. On one hand, it is very citrusy, but it is also very crisp & classy. I will definitely be ordering a bottle in the near future.
Xerjoff - Kobe for Man - A+Compared to the original 13zz01, citrus fruits, pineapples, birch and oakmoss are somewhat lacking.And it seems that the smoky box that is not in the original has been added. But there's something that causes headaches that makes your head hurt.You have to remove it that makes you feel nauseous like water or alcohol.
Creed - Aventus Batch 2013 zz01 for Man - A++One of the best Boadicea The Victorious fragrances I have smelled. I put it in the same league as Valiant, Intricate and Blue Sapphire. The blending of the notes is done so well that I hardly notice any oud in it at all. It is luxurious and powerful without being 'in your face'. It doesn't 'announce' you. Projection is moderate; longevity on my skin is around 10 hours. I know that scents are subjective; but even with that in mind, I can risk recommending that this is a blind-buy worthy fragrance. I will always have a bottle of this one in my collection. Thank you the GP Team.
Boadicea the Victorious - Supreme Unisex A+This is a fragrance I have to have in my collection. It is unique, high quality and absolutely pleasing to my nose both in the opening and the dry-down. Definitely full-bottle worthy.
The Harmonist - Hypnotizing Fire for Unisex - A+This is a pleasant easy-to-wear fragrance that can be worn during both warm and cool days. It is worthy sampling.
Maison Martin Margiela - At The Barber's for Man A+I had to try the body lotion and i was not disappointed at all Generic Perfumes i salute you once again. My only regret is they don't as yet do 100ml Body lotion.
Creed - Spice and Wood for Unisex - A++I have purchased the oil, the perfume and now the body lotion and all i can say is. 10 out of 10 i absolutely really enjoy this fragrance the dry down is fantastic will certainly continue to purchase this.
Clive Christian - No. 1 for ManAl Khatt is a soft oud-sweet jasmine combo that has very good performance. It isn't for everyone but it is worthy sampling. I thank the GP Team for including it in the Free Gift pack that was included in my last order.
Xerjoff - Al Khatt for Unisex - A+Absolutely spot on! Love it
Tom Ford - Oud Wood Unisex - A+Thank you very much GP team for giving me this one as part of the 14-Pack Free Gift that accompanied my previous purchase. Kobe is for citrus lovers. It has good longevity and a nice scent. It is worthy sampling.
Xerjoff - Kobe for Man - A+Thank you Generic Perfumes for including this one in the 14 Pack Free Gift that accompanied my recent purchase. It is a good citrus fragrance for warm weather. It has good longevity. If you are a citrus lover, sample this one.
Xerjoff - Kobe for Man - A+I received samples of this and it is absolutely incredible, the most enchanting and high quality scent. Another to add to my list to but and my favourites.
Parfums d Elmar - Elixir d Amour for Unisex - A+This was a really good product. Very potent.
G1606 Bergamo Luxe for Unisex - A++ SuperThis is very close to the original. Leaps above the earlier release from GP. I'd say it about 85% to 88% identical.
Spicy Amber Pour Homme for Man A++Almost identical to the original, wonderful in cold weather.
Viktor & Rolf - Spicebomb Extreme for Man A+Amazing fragrance different worth picking up.
Yves Saint Laurent - Tuxedo - A+This is ultimately refreshing! This is perfect for a late spring or summer day or to give yourself a lift after a nice relaxing shower. This gives me a sense of peace and inspiration. The Bergamot smells like quality, the pink pepper gives it a little effervescence with just a slight hint of jasmine but not too feminine, then the dry down gets a a hint of patchouli while remaining fresh. I just wish it lasted a little longer I got 5-6 hours which is good for a freshie! Top notes: bergamot, lemon, ginger Heart: pink pepper, absolute jasmine Base: patchouli, vetiver, ambrox
Carolina Herrera - Bergamot Bloom for UnisexThis is like a slightly fresher version of the original very nice, smooth and contemporary! This should be mentioned more in the 'Fragcom". Well done and a great blind buy I am very happy with :)
Dolce & Gabbana - The One Sport for ManAmazing scent... Musk rose and oud. You kam smell a bit leather in the Drydown. One of my favorites from the house
A525 Musk AoudAbsolutely scrumptious smelling. I love it and I haven't smelled the original but this is excellent, strong and the notes are what I was buying this for. Well done!
Elie Saab - Girl of Now for WomenBeen wearing this every other day and can't get enough. Awesome quality!!!!
Xerjoff - XJ 1861 Naxos for Unisex - A+One of my favs so far. A perfect spring an summer fragrance
Giorgio Armani - Acqua Di Gio Absolu for ManAmazing stuff, great longevity and smells just like the real deal
Tom Ford - Tuscan Leather for UnisexSmells almost identical to the original. Very very close.
Spicy Amber Pour Homme for Man A++This smells exactly the same at the beloved but super rare original I am blown away! This is beautiful, super masculine, makes you radiate confidence and adds a sophistication to your very presence. I never knew it was created by three world class perfumers 2 of them Alberto Morillas and Olivier Cresp being my Top 2 of all time! Generic Perfume staff you nailed this, 10 out of 10 .So far I've gotten 9 solid hours of longevity and projection of about 2-3 feet easy. Very happy customer thanks! :)
Giorgio Armani - Attitude for ManAbsolutely amazing oil, and extremely long lasting. So happy I found this amazing company!
Parfums d Elmar - Elixir d Amour for Unisex - A+So worth purchasing from this company. The oil itself is so long lasting and amazing smelling, easy to be layered!
Parfums d Elmar - Elixir d Amour for Unisex - A+Does it last long? and how long ? Sillage? Someone plz answer
Giorgio Armani - Acqua Di Gioia for WomenThis is a great alternative/clone of Aventus. Here we have a clone of a clone basically. However, this is still smelling different enough to own it for the variation of the opening and more smokiness in the drydown. I have both oil and perfume spray version. I get about 7hr performance with the spray. It opens up with juicy fizzy pineapple which is different from the 2013zz01 A++ version. And also in the drydown this is definitely way more smokier than other Aventus clones. It is a good addition if you like smoky version of Aventus.
Vintage - Emperor Eau de Parfum for UnisexAbsolutely thrilled with this purchase, a very very close interpretation of the original, very strong and will be buying again!!
Chanel - Coco Mademoiselle L Eau Privée for WomenGorgeous perfume. It is a sweet musky smell on my skin. I'm not good with notes but this lasts a long time and performs well in warmer weather (haven't tried it in cooler weather yet). Delicioius caramel and vanilla. Love it.
Xerjoff - Gran Ballo for Women - A+Review for a Spray version: This is basically a summer in a bottle. Sublime citrus opening. This is citrus through and through. I do not have any experience with the original. However, people complained that original version is quite fleeting so I decided to try this. I can attest, unfortunately this is also very fleeting. It is gone in under 2 hours. However, for this price I do not mind re-applying. This smells extremely good and hope that in summer I might get better performance. This is office friendly too. 2 sprays on the chest under the shirt and you are set for at least 3 to 4hr . Extremely fresh and citric scent.
Atelier des Ors - Riviera Drive for UnisexThis scent right here is very reminiscent of the original Amouage Interlude. This is still quite smoky but that Iris accord can easily be picked up. However, do not expect Iris to be prominent. If you live in a region that gets snow or cold winters then good lord this is going to be a true beast for you to use. Still testing the longevity of the oil of this scent but so far it is still the "Blue beast" but just a little tamed down. Much more wearable than the regular Interlude. A must try from the house of Amouage!
Amouage - Interlude Black Iris Man A+
