For Mr Clean and Fresh!!!! @Mike Penzenik Or anyone else interested LOL!

For my friend,

this line has blown me away, and Very inexpensive at discounters!!! The highest oils and the original twists make the scent profiles exceptional!!! I will start with the House of Jo Milano

Roll It 7 — Mediterranean citrus-aquatic. Bergamot/mandarin/sicilian orange over fresh marine accords + clean musk.
Game of Spades Full House — fresh citrus + spicy-neroli backbone. Bergamot/orange/citron → neroli/ginger/cinnamon → black tea/ambroxan/woods.
Game of Spades Bonus — sparkling citrus + minty-aromatic lift. Citron/mint/orange/lemon + black currant/coriander, then fruity-herbal heart, musky-fig/date drydown.
Game of Spades Emerald — bright grapefruit-bergamot + ginger + clean musk. Citrus/ginger up top, neroli/orange blossom in the middle, musky/ambrette base.
Game of Spades High Roller — fresh grapefruit/bergamot with warm-spicy edges. Citrus + black currant up top, then ginger/cinnamon/citron/cardamom, finishing with pink pepper + patchouli.
Roll It 1 — fruity-fresh mango/lemon/ginger with a warmer oud/musk/amber base (fresh opening, richer drydown).

In the Middle East Category, I will give you this; it can also be substituted with Alexandria fragrances as a great clone or Montagne!!!

Amouage Reflection Man — the “expensive clean soap” vibe.
Amouage Beach Hut Man — minty-green fresh with niche character.

Also in the inexpensive Middle Eastern category from Swiss Arabian and Gissah

Musk 01 (clean citrus + soft white musk)
Rose 01 (lychee/bergamot + rosy-musky)
Incense 01 (incense theme; more resinous than fresh)

From the house of Gissah:

1) Capri

Vibe: lemon + marine “out the shower” freshNotes: Sorrento lemon + marine notes + blue ginger, then sandalwood/apple/patchouli, drying to dry amber/vetiver/incense.

2) Calabria

Vibe: crisp bergamot/green-apple fresh, smooth “clean woods” drydown. Notes: bergamot (and listed in details with pink pepper + green apple), cashmere/iris/patchouli, amberwood/tonka/vetiver.

3) Imperial Valley

Imperial Valley (fresh opening, but more “fresh + depth” than pure clean)

Vibe: bergamot + pepper freshness up top, then it turns oud/leather. Notes: davana/Italian bergamot/pink pepper → white amber/rosemary/oud → musk/leather/vetiver.

4} Mavro

Fresh/clean opening: It starts very citrusy (bergamot, grapefruit, lemon) with a zing of pink pepper. But… the heart has praline + saffron, and the base is cedar/patchouli/tonka, so it turns warmer + slightly sweet/spicy—more “fresh opener, sexy drydown” than pure out-the-shower.

Verdict: Fresh at first, not a straight clean freshie.

If you need help locating any of the above, PM me, or I will list them in comments. And I will do Another List tommorow on Michael Malul A reasonably priced, inexpensive American Niche house that can be had for around 65.00 to 100.00, and on day three, I will give you the very best of Mancera that also fit this category. Actually, I will do Malul and Mancera tommorow we can call it M & M'S
