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.

It is a great fragrance. Still a bit of a hidden gem. Extremely close to ADG Profondo. An aquatic-citrusy freshie. Great longevity, definitely lasts longer than the original, moderate projection but you can smell the scent even after 5-6 hours on skin and longer on clothes. I highly recommend this one.

Firstly it is creed aventus , then it is creed aventus+ profondo , very strong. I ll se how it ages.

I get the similarity with Profundo, but it is more shallow, less citrusy fresh than expected and more soapy. Some of it may be due to the atomiser which creates a rather fine short distence mist. Similar drydown. A simpler perfume, but well worth the cost. A safe buy.

this is a masterpiece. i love how nobody knows about it yet and i hope it stays that way. the most attractive summer fragrance out there. truly a 10/10

First impression: pretty sharp, fairly cheap smelling citrus with a musky base. I'm not picking up too many ADG influences also. While Profondo is rich and aromatic, L'alliance is pretty one dimensional. So far, I'd say this is pretty mediocre, even for the 20,- I paid. Will update this review if my experience with this fragrance changes.

Smells like if an old drunk pissed in a bottle of Profondo. There's a funky note or two here that just doesn't work for me. edit: the funkiness has decreased in the past couple of months since getting the bottle. I still don't like but at least it doesn't smell like sweaty asshole that someone rubbed mandarin on. Hate -> dislike.

I just received this and I have to say it smells really good and way worth the 25$ price I paid. I do have to say to me it smells nothing much like profondo which I also own, comparing them and not close. It does smell really good nothing amazing but I only paid 25$ so what did I expect. But definitely worth buying if you like powdery, lavender,mild sweet with,patchouli scents about all I get not much of aquatic. Not sure how long it lasts but it seems to be dying already or I'm going nose blind.

A hearthy dose of mandarin, rosemary and musk. I smell some very faint cardamom too. Slightly powdery, very fresh. It instantly refreshes you when sprayed, very good for the warmer months.
