L'Alliance Spirit

A very classy scent this, Below 99.99% of the community's radar too. I've tried a few Profondo clones and found Liam Blue by Lattafa to be the best option scent profile wise but it lasted 3 and half hours or so(annoyingly). Heard about this and gave it a go being under 25 bucks as it was suggested to be a better performer. It's 90%+ Profondo (from memory) and very well blended. So that Marine hint goes completely undetectable after 5 mins and you're left with the ripened orange evolving into the (powdery)lavender/rosemary and amber/woods just like the OG. I never picked up leather in Profondo, and don't in this. Maybe my nose but whatever. Just a very classy, usable, inoffensive and versatile scent that can be worn night and day, spring summer and autumn in most occasions. Added bonus here is that this gave me a minimum of 6 hours but stretches to 7 with more sprays(5) on fabric. 7/10

I'm changing this to love actually. even if you're already tired of such scents, the whole deal is simply nuts at that price. Invictus Legend was my summer no.1 until 2022, then it was SWY Freeze until the 2024. both were equally synthetic and Freeze never even projected from my skin, but both were those typical, safe, mass appealing scents that convince you to buy full bottles. but only after getting something like this for 16€ you realize how overpriced most stuff is. I didn't even need it, I was buying birthday presents and simply put it in the basket just because. trust me, this has everything your average Joe wants from his summer fragrance. you may think you aren't that Joe, but vast majority of us indeed are.

Pretty good Blind Buy. First Impression about this one before resting. Kinda nice, smells Fresh, Aquatic, Aromatic, Masculine. And the dry down is pretty nice, not gonna lie And I sprayed about like 3-6 times on my hand, and it lasted for like 8-9 hours and became SkinScent (Indoor). I recommend you if you want to get a Fresh, Aquatic fragrance. But still Versatile and you can wear it every time. This is so mass pleasing, although it's a little bit harsh in the opening, kinda smells like alcohol. So yea, I should rest it for like a week. 8.9/10 for me

likeable scent with moderate performance and pretty much a steal at that price (16€, Notino). immediate positive reactons from two women inside my family, and that was the first and only time I wore it. not surprising though, considering the fragrance it is inspired by. I only bought it 2 days ago, but it's a solid like already and it's going to remain like that. if anything, it might get stronger after a month or two and the summer is near after all, so I'm going to wear less clothes, so...

The dupe that made me believe in dupes. To me it's 90+% Profundo, maybe lacking just a touch in the marine notes but it's got everything else. The rosemary and lavender really jump. The fact that they can make this with such good blending really speaks volumes. Less is more with sprays, too, in my experience, and the longevity is really good. Really slept on - for some reason this one doesn't have the hype, but it should.
