Vamos Crescent

I'm a big fan of Middle Eastern inspo frahrances and I have to say for the overall value Camara has some gems. Camara Crescant is not a 1 to 1, but gets very close to Invictus. You get the bubblegummie opening and it settles down to more of a soapy and bayleaf marine scent, but not salty marine like D&G LB Eau Intense or Profondo. The downside with Crescant is the performance is pretty weak. I find it cloying when overspraying, but for the price I simply just carry a decant and add a spray or two throughout the day. Being there are hundreds to choose from in the sub $20 realm' Camara is top notch and honestly worth more than their price point. Mirada, Milestone, Camara, English Laundry etc all have great options at a bottom dollar price. They may be a bit weak, but so are lots of designer and niche frags so just overspray your clothing and you're set!

I was some what spectacle about this cologne at the beginning. Now it’s one of the best blind buy I have made in a while. At the beginning it had some what of a alcohol smell with the scent. I let the bottle sit for 2 months and now it’s one of my office scent that I use. there is less of the alcohol smell that I use to get. I consider this now to be a dupe of invictus with a slight stronger hint of mandarin that I don’t mind. For the price it is a steal now it labeled as a EDP but I think it’s more of a EDT. Longevity - 4 /10 lasting a couple of hours Silage - 7/10 Bottle - 4 /10 heavy cap that it is nice Will I buy this again the answer is yes for the price it is a no brainer.

Crescent is a fairly generic marine fragrance. The overall impression is that of a masculine shower gel with a bit of sweetness added. Think of Invictus. The opening is heavy in citrus, drying down to green, then woody notes. Performance typical for a bargain blue fragrance... 3-4 hours with very heavy spraying. The real star of the show is the bottle, cap and diffuser. Great presentation , sharp ‘snap’ when the cap goes on and a quality diffuser for the W. This is an “anytime, anyplace” scent but is more suitable for casual situations. Throw on a glowing white T-shirt and comfy jeans and sneakers, then dress it up with a watch and other accessories. Top it off with six shots of Crescent for a day of whatever-may-come. 7.5/10

I really like this. I got it for my 20 yr old son and I keep using it. It's sweet and refreshing. It projects well and it last 6-7 hours on my skin. It's the perfect dumb reach. Wear it anytime, anywhere. You can get them at Marshalls and TJ Maxx for $15. Its an amazing deal for a solid, do-it-all juice. It's a very safe blind buy.

At first this one just smelled like a nice fresh scent to me, but now I notice that it smells similar to Boss the Scent EDT. They both share Mandarin Orange and woody notes. It doesn't project loud and doesn't last long but it's a pleasant, inoffensive scent.

This is going to annoy the hell out of me, but I know what this scent is. I am fairly sure it's artisan blu by John Varvatos. Apparently it's invictus but I don't think invictus was. I remember a watermelon fad scent like this, but for the life of me, can't remember it. It was a blind buy at £9 but I admit it's because I really loved the bottle. That is a beautifully designed bottle and I love holding it in my hand. There is something extremely therapeutic about it, especially with the leather touch. The scent itself is a decent scent. Great value for the price point. But I feel way too bold for work or a date. It's surprisingly masculine for a marine scent, very older school. The opening is more a very sharp fruity scent and then moves into a musky sea scent but it doesn't really dry down into something mellow, it just stays very manly and generic for a fair while. Id say it's overpowering for some and definitely don't over apply it. I would say it definitely lasts 3-4 hours which is well in excess of it's price point but its an EDP. I admit this is a decent buy but specifically for that bottle, this is a definite get for me. The scent itself is more meh, but as a safe choice as a gift.
