Quality Fragrance Oils' La Nuit for Men Impression #139 | Long-Lasting Perfume Oil, Alcohol-Free, Strong Scent, 10ml Roll-On | Affordable Alternative to Designer Fragrances

Do they smell like the originals? Sort of. Are they good scents? Yes.The reviews are ridiculous: "They smell exactly the same as the original! Sweeeeet!!!! Now I don't have to spend $10,000 on my cologne so I can buy that Rolex knock-off I've been wanting instead, whoot, whoot!" juxtaposed with, "these smell like urinal cakes mixed with gasoline and an old woman's perfume counter. I shudder at the very memory of this putrid chemical mess! Nah, bruh! Instant trash." So, naturally I had to try these!Bottom line: if you aren't expecting a great impression of a particular scent, but you enjoy oil based scents and are a bit adventurous, these may be for you. If you want a particularly well blended, refined, $350 scent for less than $10, then I guess go find your 1ml sample and enjoy to your heart's content.However, I did a blind smell test of these oils versus the real scents with two people. Both chose the oils over the original Tom Ford and Creed scents as having the better smell!!!The oils definitely impressions. I tried one on my wrists, instant and major olfaction. These smell of decent quality and are quite strong. They have good longevity -- though this depends a bit on the exact scent -- but may lead to olfactory fatigue (everyone but you will be smelling your powerful scent). Be careful not to apply too much, depending on the scent. Some only last a few hours, but several seem to have good projection and longevity.I do not have all of the original scents; for the ones that I do have, in some cases these scents were at least recognizable, for example with GIT, but Aventus was way off (see below). Even so, these are all IMHO decent scents.These are ranked in order of my preference.Creed Spice & Wood. This is the best scent IMHO, and two other people who I asked to rank the scents best to worst agreed. The name describes the smell. I have no idea what the original smells like.Creed Green Irish Tweed. I have the real thing and agree this is like the drydown, missing all of the sparkling scents of the top. Still smells fresh and in the vein of GIT, Aspen, and Cool Water.TF Tuscan Leather. This lacks the real leather smell of the original, is more sweet and woodsy somehow. I still like it.TF Tobacco Oud. Very sophisticated, smells of whiskey, tobacco, and oud.TF Tobacco Vanille. It smells like root beer?! Really on the sweet side, with lots of vanilla as others have mentioned, but a tainted vanilla that would not be white or yellow but darker and spicier. It does smell at least in the same vein as the original.TF Oud Wood. Nice oud smell.Creed Millésime Impérial. Does smell somewhat like the original at least - I do not have any currently, but it smells like Ed Hardy Love & Luck, which smells great and smells like the original Creed.Creed Aventus. This one smells like lemon pledge and fruit loops! I'm not saying it is bad. In fact, two people blindly smelling this versus real Aventus on a test strip preferred this to the real thing! Lemon pledge might sound bad, but keep in mind that some people love GIT, which other people would describe as smelling like "soap" or "shaving cream". It ends up smelling pretty good on my skin. But, Aventus ain't. No pineapple or smoke.TF Noir de Noir. This one screams rose, which it should! Not my favorite personally, but my significant other liked it the best.Creed Silver Mountain Water. This one does smell like silver mountain water after a minute or two, which is a great smell.TF Noir Extreme. This smells like you removed or greatly subdued the spiciness of the original and were left with the baby powdery smell. Interestingly, both people I asked to blind smell this and the original chose this over the original. To me, I like the complexity of the spice, but maybe most people would find the less interesting, subdued version easier to take in.Finally, I have to give a shout out to the customer service. I emailed about the Creed Aventus being way off, and wondered if I might have received the wrong sample. They were very courteous and sent me a new roller bottle. I had said that perhaps they sent me Aventus Cologne instead of Aventus, and wondered if they might send me a new bottle of Aventus. They ended up sending me Aventus Cologne, so they misunderstood what I wanted, but hey, it is the thought that counts.Happy scenting!

I wasn’t expecting much from generic roll-ons, but these blew me away. Each of the five 10ml bottles is a solid impression of popular designer colognes, and they last longer than some name-brand sprays I've tried.The oils are smooth, not greasy, and absorb well. I get compliments almost daily, and the compact roll-ons are perfect for carrying in your pocket or bag. It’s a great way to try out different scents without committing to expensive bottles.For the price, this set is an absolute steal. Highly recommend it—especially as a gift or for anyone who wants to smell amazing on a budget.

Okay. I am not gonna lie. I own many of these fragrances myself, so I feel that I can adequately describe what you gain (or subsequently loose) with these fragrance oils.OIL VS. EDT or EDP (Oils vs. Alcohols)I know everyone wants to smell their best, but the last thing they want is to pay a fortune while doing so. With that said, some of these oils also last longer than their real fragrance counter-part. For instance, QFO's Allure Homme Sport projects about an extra 2-3 hours. For me, Allure Homme Sport ETD becomes a skin sent in about 2 hours, but with the oils I get 5-6 hours of full on projection. Call it beast-mode if you will, however, there are a few slight differences with fragrance oils. You definitely know when you are wearing the Chanel vs. the oil because the Chanel breaks down into a smoother and alluring dry-down. This is called the "dry-down" and its where you can break apart the notes. With the oil, on the other hand, they kind of mimic the opening, but give you a consistent smell through-out the fragrance. Definitely the oil smells less "refined", but for 5-6 bucks, I could not ask for anything better. The reality is if someone gets a waft of you, they'll think you smell great. And if they are an enthusiast, they may even ask you what you or wearing or guess it for themselves.DESIGNER OILSFor QFO's average designer scents (Acqua Di Gio/Light Blue/Dior Sauvage/1 Million), you can't go wrong. They are all slightly little off, Light Blue and 1 Million imparticularly for me. That's not to say that if you were given a strip of the oil and the real parfum, you could be able to match all of them. I know for many people, what it really boils down to is the price. For 6-7 bucks, you can have something that in a department store costs you 3-4x that amount (for the mL you get). Forget the slight variations or the minuta of fragrances, you're willing to pay 15% of the actual cost for 85% of the quality.NICHE OILSAs for some of their niche scents, I found Silver Water Mountain to be egregious. Smells way too alcoholish and ting/musky compared to the real one. I guess SWM was never a favorite to begin with, but I'd say this version did not even remotely resemble it. QFO's Aventus Creed on the other hand is a close related cousin. Of course you will run into the same issues as before with composition and definition, but there are so many clones of this out there that aren't that well-defined either. Thus, I'd actually put this oil up in the top clone list... probably right under Club de Nuit by Armaf (THE Aventus Clone everyone and their momma seems to have). I have not touched any of their Tom Ford collections. Maybe a trigger-happy buy for later.OTHER NOTES:Other things to ponder: think of the advantages of something that can placed in your pocket and easily applied. If you are just getting into fragrances and do not have a whole bunch of money to spend (under 30), this is a no-brainer. I mean you could either spend your money for a real cologne "cheapie" that lasts 5 mins on your skin or you could dabble in the smells (plural) that people fork over their Benjamins to procure. This goes especially towards college or high school students that want to smell like an adult, but without having to spend their entire allowance. In any case, anything that keeps the kiddos from smelling like Axe body spray, I am all down for!

Smells great, as I’ve never been able to smell authentic Creed Aventus, I can’t say how close it is to the real thing. I also wear Armaf Club de Nuit Intense, and this is very similar, it has a strong citrus fragrance at first, though, unlike Armaf, it’s not a Bergamot scent, but it has many similarities. Only thing is, it does not last very long, only a couple hours. Again, I’ve never smelled real Aventus so can’t compare it
