Looking for a fresh and clean fragrance, something that can do everything ,what should I look at? Going to get small decants to ultimately decide but taking feedback on what ones to grab first.

City Rhythm is now taking preorders for two new fragrances being added to their regular lineup. Savannah - another peach-forward scent to add to the growing list of peach fragrances being released to the market this year. Top Notes: Sun Ripened Georgia Peach, Ruby Grapefruit Zest Heart Notes: Tropical Fruit Nectar, Southern Jasmine, Ripe Red Berry Accord Base Notes: Soft Amber, White Suede, Silk Musk I feel like I already have a peach scent with Imaginary Authors, so I will probably pass on this one for now. The other notes don't really appeal to me, either. I'll wait for the reviews on this. DC - Fruity florals with pear and cherry leading the way. Top Notes: Anjou Pear, Pink Pepper, Wild Cherry, Sakura Petals Heart Notes: White Magnolia, Star Jasmine Base Notes: Red Amber, Ivory Cedarwood, Vanilla Silk I don't know. It's not wowing me. I might pick it up if it gets high reviews, but I'm not a big Jasmine fan. This one is a definite sample / decant first for me.

This is a clone of Amouage Royal Tobacco XIV. I haven't done a side by side but I will soon. This one is fantastic in its own right and has convinced me that I need the OG, which on my list for part of my 50th BDay present to myself.

I finally decided tonight seek out smaller perfumers and found that this is a BOS member. Had a little spray of the Red Rum and I have to say, this is impressive. Looking forward to giving these a real spin. Read nothing but good things here.

Banadir 40 smells like it is clearly going after Ex Nihilo Blue Talisman. Banadir’s own site basically says that outright, so this is not one of those vague “inspired by something” situations. To me, the comparison comes down to this: Blue Talisman is the smoother, more refined original, while Banadir 40 seems to give you that same airy, fruity-musky, sparkling vibe for a lot less money. The original Blue Talisman is built around pear, bergamot, ginger, mandarin, orange blossom, musks, and woody amber materials, which is what gives it that fresh, modern, almost glowing effect. From what people are saying, Banadir 40 has a very strong reputation as one of the better Blue Talisman clones. I would still not call it a perfect replacement for the original, because clones usually miss a little of the polish and texture that make the real thing feel more complete. But Banadir 40 keeps coming up as one of the closest options, with some people even saying it is the best Blue Talisman clone they have tried. So in simple terms, I would put it like this: Blue Talisman = more refined and elegant Banadir 40 = same general DNA, strong value, and possibly a little louder. But to my nose, 1 to 1 in every way!!! My bottom line in your style: if you want the Blue Talisman profile without paying the Blue Talisman price, Banadir 40 looks like a very legit option. Price is under $50.00 for a 100 ml solid bottle. I have also purchased Banadir 63, which is a clone of Purpose 50, and a few of their Decants 10 ml for $10.00
