Ego Exotic

Wow, what an awesome dupe for a very expensive brand perfume! I couldn't care less about the B.S snobbery crap that some twats pull about dupes and middle eastern frags. I'm loving this trend in giving the average person some kind of access to experience fragrances similar or very close to the O.G, that don't cost a eye or a kidney. I'd say this hits about the 95 percent mark for duping Creeds Windflowers EDP. I've been waiting patiently for Armaf Ego Exotic to arrive on Aussie shores and it's finally available in a number of online stores here. I have Windflowers and LOVE it...just not the stupidly bloated cost. I get chest pains just thinking about having to buy another bottle in a couple of years...imagine the inflation and blatant rip off then!!! This is a fantastic dupe at a far more sane price, and it's close enough to Windflowers that it gives me all the same feels. HATE the bottle though...no getting around that bizzare, ugly thing. But as I often decant my perfumes into smaller, managable, travel sized spray bottles, I can hide it away and forget what it looks like. So in the first spray Windflowers is a little more white floral than Ego. The peach is more apparent in Ego and this stays the same as it dries down. Once it's dried though, the slight differences get less and less. Infact, half an hour into wearing each one on a different hand, I can't really tell the difference. Maybe just that slightly more peachy touch in the Ego still. But when I spray just Armaf Ego by itself, I'd swear black and blue, that it's Windflowers. I'm thrilled and so happy to put this into my collection. Keep 'em coming Armaf! ❤️

Wow, this is a good one. So juicy, fresh and just pretty. Sparkling and effervescent. I think lovers of fruity floral chypre scents like YSL Mon Paris, Lancome la nuit tresor, or even the 2005 version of Miss Dior Cherie will really enjoy this. It does sort of have that coco mademoiselle patchouli vibe, although patchouli is not listed under the notes. I haven’t tried Creed windflowers or Gaultier Fragile, so I can’t compare it to those. Ego exotic opens with a super juicy peach. As it dries down I even get hints of strawberries. I love that this is one of those scents where the opening notes really stick around till the end. In the middle I get mostly jasmine with just a little bit of the tuberose and rose. I’m a big fan of tuberose and was actually hoping it would be more pronounced, but it’s fairly light. In the dry down I pick up on some musk and praline. The praline gives it just the right amount of sweetness to tie everything together. The notes are very well blended. Get about 4-5 hours of wear on skin. Lasts longer on clothes. Edit: It’s been 10 days since I initially tested it, and decided to give it another try. Seems like it’s changed, is much more of a creamy tuberose scent than it was when I first tried it. I don’t get much of the fruity notes anymore.

This is absolutely beautiful! I got a touch of Coco Mad, a touch of L’Interdit, with a refreshing juicy peach in the opening and a lush, sweet musky dry down. Signature Scent worthy on first impressions. We’ll see if this changes over the next week or so, but rn it’s a love! Edit: This fragrance has had me by the throat for 10 days now. This is the first time EVER, that I’ve been able to fall for a gorgeous fragrance in a ridiculous bottle. And I can’t seem to put it down. I will need a back up for sure. Also, the comparison to Creed Wind Flowers is a good one. They are not exact, but definitely close sisters. As it should, Creed smells more refined. It seems less bright and juicy and more sweet floral to me... Still the similarities are very obvious, and I love them both.

This is so beautiful. At first, it seemed like just another floral perfume. But each time, as the notes came in, it kept growing on me in a way I could have never imagined. The rich nuances make it such a well blended and truly special fragrance. Edit: Do you know when you love something so much that you exhaust the life out of it? I'm afraid that's what has happened here. I got bored of it. Maybe I just need to spice things up with new fragrances or try layering. Makes me so sad. I still love it, but I'm bored. Edit #2: I love how the fragrance changes throughout the year. In colder weather, it's more musky powdery, while in warmer weather it's more peachy. I think I enjoy it again.

Don't let the initial spray fool you! It starts off a bit harsh and screechy, but once it dries down, it is pure perfection. It turns into a gorgeous peachy, jasmine, powdery and musky scent. I am absolutely obsessed with this fragrance. Later edit: I just had a lovely, intimate moment with my African Grey, Jack, and suddenly it hit me: this is the smell. My parrot has this distinct powdery, dry, and musky scent. Oh my god, I am just absolutely in love with it.
