Quality Fragrance Oils' Lost Cherry Impression #335 | 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 have eight of these. I got the first three about two and a half years ago. My glowing review is way overdue. I’m a 39 year old guy and I have always liked to smell pleasant. It is a very common occurrence for me to get sweaty and dirty when I work or do yard work and that’s fine but I like to smell good when I’m clean, when I go out among other people or, sometimes, when I show up to that service call in the afternoon even though I’ve been sweating non-stop all day. There are inevitably times in life when you are destined to stink to some degree but it makes me feel good to smell good when I can. Since I’ve been obsessed with fragrances my entire life I have paid quite a bit of attention to them and I have owned many, MANY of them. By no means does that make me a connoisseur, much less an expert, but my lifelong observations do inform a bit of fragrance perspective. I have NEVER seen a better fragrance value than this brand of roll-on. There are higher quality fragrances in existence but it would take a real connoisseur or expert to differentiate these from higher quality scents. Also, those scents will cost many, many times what these do. These are truly quality scents for a great price. Now, do they smell exactly the same as the target fragrance? No, not exactly. Out of the 8 I bought, I have only previously owned one. I would say they nailed it about 95%. Close enough that it initially tricks my mind each time I get a whiff and I don’t think most people could tell it isn’t the original. But, honestly, that’s beside the point. What do I mean? All 8 fragrances smell GOOD. Each one is probably varying degrees of closeness to the original scent but every single one of them smells REALLY good. I have NEVER seen a “knockoff” brand hit 50%, much less 100%. Not in “nailing” the original scent, just making fragrances that have a great, quality scent. If you are looking to nail a particular scent at a lower price point, I’m not sure how successful you will be. However, if you are looking for EXCELLENT, quality scents for a great value this is it. What’s more, the concentrated roll on delivery is part of what makes it so great. They have excellent projection and longevity. That’s where they outshine most of the scents out there at nearly any price point. Plus, they are great for travel or to keep in the vehicle or in your pocket. I am going to be using up my alcohol based fragrances and not replacing them. I have already given up on any and all aerosolized fragrances because they all give me headaches. My “solid” colognes have all been disappointments because of their performance. I will be slowly transitioning ALL my fragrances to this brand because the value and convenience CANNOT be beat and the performance can only be beat at high end cost.

Edited for Sauvage impression So I have perched 3 fragrances from this brand and I'll say, they're pretty good especially for the price. But don't expect exact replicas of the name brand scents. Pleasures impression: I've never smelled the real thing so I can't tell you how close it is. But this one is a VERY strong floral that dries down powdery. Its pleasant and lasts all day on skin, and will stay on fabric till you wash it. It's nice, just too feminine and floral ly for my taste. I gave it to one of my coworkers and she loves it. Sauvage impression: got this for my husband. It smells really good, we both love it, but it doesn't smell like the real deal at all. This one has a very fresh, almost body wash/good soap scent with a hint of spice. It's good, but not even close to Sauvage. *Edit* after opening and letting it sit for a couple weeks it now smells ALMOST IDENTICAL to the real thing. Definitely close, if you didn't know you might not even question it. Well done. He LOVES IT. Baccarat impression: I can't smell this one. My guess is because it's got ambroxin (a synthetic fragrance used to mimic ambergris) and some people just cant smell this. (I've heard the same thing about the real Baccarat) This is in no way the fault of the makers. I do barely get a light whiff sometimes after about 20 min of applying and it smells nice, but I mean I barely smell it. My husband says he can smell it on me from several feet away and he loves it. I just wish I could smell it. Overall I'd say it's a decent brand of fragrances. I'll probably try more since the price is great.

Love this on my wife. Very very long lasting
