The Common scents is a site that sells fragrances at a very very low price due to them being a whole sale company. According to them, all of these fragrances are pure, but it doesn't matter much if the customer thinks otherwise.

FIRST UP

AQUA DI GIO

I bought a 250ml bottle of pure oil Aqua di gio. The smell is far from it being Aqua di gio, concentrated oil or not, it is not it. The scent is to TOO sweet. However,when I wore it a few sessions before work out and after one hour of working out(cardio) It becomes a nice manly smell.

I had a gym counter girl comment on the nice smell after work out. I told her "it is Aqua Di Gio GONE WRONG". After 1 hour of it setteling down, it smells good. It last and lasts and lasts until two days or I take a shower

I will repeat once again, IT IS NOT AQUA DI GIO

Original Aqua Di Gio = TheCommonScents.com's Aqua Di Gio?

A:BULLSHIT

SECOND UP

GREEN IRISH TWEED

My uncle wears high end colognes all the time and to be honest I have smelled this same smell on him. I don't know if it is GREEN IRISH TWEED or not but I will ask him. What I can say is it smells SO SO GOOD. at 5 drops each use , and 250ml bottle, if I use this everyday, this will last me for 6.5 years. Not bad for 11 bucks .

Q:ORIGINAL GREEN IRISH TWEED = TheCommonScents.com's GREEN IRISH TWEED?
A: Don't know yet, but will find out tomorrow morning

THIRD UP

CHROME LEGEND

A:PERFECT MATCH , Nuf said. My favourite cologne. 5 drops is enough to last you all day. having a 250ml bottle, bla bla bla, you know how many years it will last me.

One thing I've noticed with the fragrance oils I got from The Fragrance Shop is that some of them smell a lot different when decanted in alcohol. Really opens up the fragrance and brings about the kind of phases of diffusion that you normally see from a cologne. Give it a try -- mix up a sprayer of your failed Aqua Di Gio in alcohol at 6-10% fragrance, and see if it is closer (or further) to what you expect.

That's a good idea, I will try that tomorrow for sure and see if it is any different.

Thanks

Would love to try some stuff from TCS. Seems very affordable. Though 19.99$ for international shipping? Could be cheaper. Especially if you just want to try some prodcuts, before getting lifelong supplies
Great thread, SS! Repped.
