Mindset

This is a fantastic budget alternative to Myslf EDP, which is one of my personal favorite daily rotation fragrances. Designers aren't cheap nowadays, even a full bottle of the EDP is difficult to find under 100 bucks without doing some digging, let alone any of the other flankers. If you're like me and like to wear fragrances daily but aren't made of money, this is a great alternative to the OG for when you wanna save some sprays for more important outings. Closeness wise, it's pretty dang close. I don't like to give percentages, as certain differences will stick out to each individual in different ways, but it's unlikely anybody who isn't smelling it regularly would notice anything is off. You'll likely get past the frag police checkpoint with this one. That being said, there are some differences that stick out to my nose. The bergamot in this version is a bit less bright. It's still very pleasant, but it doesn't carry the same almost chilly effect that I get from the OG. The orange blossom in this is a little bit more dense. To some, this could be a plus. For me it is. I love orange blossom as a note, and in Mindset, the density of the orange blossom allows it to come off a bit less as a "dryer sheet" type smell and more of a genuine floral. The differences past the opening are mostly in density and texture. Smell wise, the dry down of this is almost identical to the OG to my nose. I'd really have to dig in to nitpick and I don't see the point because I like the smell. It stays slightly more dense throughout the life of the fragrance, and as a result a bit more sweet, but not to the extent to where this comes off as an Invictus flanker. This is a fantastic version of the Myslf EDP dna for the office, daily use or casual outings. Longevity is great and the differences from the OG, as small as they are, may actually make some enjoy this more than the original. And Maison Alhambra is always a banger in the price department. Highly recommend this one. Also lasts a very long time on clothes and makes for a fantastic laundry spray if you know you're going to be wearing the same fragrance throughout your week.

Drydown smells exactly the same to me as Maison Alhambra Luxe Street Black (clone of Lafayette Street Bond No 9). Edit: I find all below 3 Maison Alhambra clones smelling very similar, as if they have some cheap ingredient that they use for every flowery fresh scent they produce (also that ingridient is low key chemically cheap smelling). Extravagant Lover Luxe Street Mindset It started bothering me having smelled yet another clone from MA smelling similar. Otherwise they are pretty nice smelling on their own considering the value. Edit 2: Much lower quality than Maison Asrar Rey, and weaker. Still a very nice smell

90% ish similar to the OG it's a bit more bubble gummy less fresh and smells a little cheaper that's all good though just because the longevity is UNBELIEVABLE i could smell it after the next day, the projection is decent it's good for the first 2 ISH hours and close to the skin for the remaining duration

Listen to me: Get this if you need a 1:1 ditto of YSL myself EDP. I don't give a sshhhhiiiittt what others say here.

Super agradável, muito semelhante ao Myself inclusive na performance. Apenas comprem ele, o preço é excelente.
