Hey fellas, Thought I'd share my adventures with Marwa yesterday. I know I haven't posted much but I've been going through all the bottles I've acquired over the past couple of months and man, let me tell you. First off, to the Youtubers out there who say, "don't worry about maceration"...that's a damn lie. There is SUCH a huge difference in scent profile, projection, and longevity for these ME fragrances once they sit. Marwa is a prime example. I have others that have shifted as well that I'll be sharing experiences with in the future, too. Marwa is a LV Imagination dupe. I've never smelled the original so I can't say how it compares (I'd love to try the LV's given their popularity but I can't even find a decent decant at a reasonable price). I blind-bought this one on hype and when I first got it, I didn't know what to think. I didn't love it, but I didn't hate it. Here is the interesting bit, I bought it, let it sit for a couple of months...tried it once on an arm during that process and was still on the fence, and then finally yesterday decided to go all in and wear it in my "fragrance-free" office. I emphasize fragrance-free because that's what I was told but I was also almost knocked out by a woman wearing something Ariana Grande-like and realized it was BS. I'd been getting away with freshies every day and likely because they smell clean and unoffending I didn't hear anything. But smelling what I'm smelling on others I realized the "fragrance-free" nonsense is really just, "don't overspray Sauvage Elixir dummies" and you're fine...LOL. Anyways, Marwa is interesting to me. For starters, it starts and finishes very linear to me. I didn't catch much of the cinnamon though you sense it's there. The ginger and black tea were the most prominent notes and honestly all I smelled all-day from start-to-finish. At times it almost smelled like clean laundry on me but I wouldn't say it's straight Downy by any means. The kicker though, not only was it clean (and compliment-worthy from the wife), but it lasted all freaking day. I put it on about 5:30a before I left for work and after 5p when I got home...still could smell it on my arms and was even catching whiffs throughout the day.

I’ve been wearing The Most Wanted Parfum from Azzaro for a while now, and honestly, it’s one of those scents that just works without trying too hard. On my skin, it opens warm and sweet, but not in a candy-like way. It has this smooth vanilla vibe mixed with something darker and slightly spicy that makes it feel confident and grown. As it dries down, it gets richer and more masculine, almost creamy, and it stays noticeable for hours without being overwhelming. What I like most is how easy it is to wear. I’ve used it for nights out, dinners, and even casual evenings, and it always feels appropriate. People around me tend to notice it in a good way—nothing loud or sharp, just smooth and attractive. Performance is solid. I get good projection for the first few hours, then it sits closer to the skin but keeps going most of the night. I don’t need many sprays for it to last. Overall, this is a safe but confident fragrance. It smells modern, clean, and a little seductive without being over the top. If you want something that makes you feel put together and confident with minimal effort, this one does the job
