title from the intro, the the thumbnail, these are going to be expensive smelling fragrances that
will not break the wallet so without any further ado guys let's hop into these choices.
kicking things off here with the first fragrance we're going to talk about Paco Rabanne edt
excess now this particular fragrance here if you haven't heard about it, it was released back in the
90s two great noses behind this fragrance Gerard Anthony and Rosendo Mateu and this particular
fragrance here if you look at the note breakdown it is going to be a very nice green aromatic
citrus refreshing type of a fragrance and what this fragrance reminds me of guys get all of this
you can find this as a cheapie or you can find a newer alternative I think this was re-released or
reformulated in the 2018 XS version which smells very close to this one but not as
minty not as refreshing and not as powerful as the original 94. Now this particular bottle here
is still kicking around you can find this for a very very affordable price what this is going
to remind you of guys, get a little of this, it's going to be 80% close to Creed Himalaya
Creed Himalaya has a very uplifting refreshing gingery minty kind of an opening this fragrance
here will have that as well along with some herbal components like tarragon, there's some
fruity nuances with lemon, rosemary, some herbal nuances, brazilian rosewood, coriander, oakmoss
white musk, it's sensual, it's aromatic, refreshing, it's a great scent, I get eight plus hours
amazing stuff, a cheapie that you can still find out there 80-85% close to Creed Himalaya
guys a great alternative great choice to that fragrance, here at the fifth spot from the cheapies
that smell expensive. Continuing the countdown here, we're going to go with another fragrance that's
going to be great for the time of the year, actually all fragrances on this list are going to be great for
this time of the year, we're transitioning from spring to summer time so I wanted to pick up
fragrances that will give you guys an edge at this time, will elevate your style, make you
smell great, will perform well for a great fraction of the cost of the original fragrances
that they were modeled after. Next up we have Artisan Blue from john Varvatos
this particular fragrance here is a cheapy as good as they come guys, this fragrance here smells about 85%
close to Tom Ford Private Blend Mandarino di Amalfi. It's very fruity ,very refreshing, very uplifting
all the fragrant components that you would find at the mediterranean, the amalfi coast
it's very blue, very refreshing, very uplifting just incredible fragrance, the only thing here that
is that differs from Mandarino di Amalfi is that this actually performs better, they actually have a
lavender note here that's actually quite fruity and dense along with a hint or a touch or pinch
of a pistachio nut here that adds this nutty feel to the fragrance from the mid into the dry down
it's not predominant but it's definitely there, so it gives the fragrance an edge over Mandarino
di Amalfi for a fraction of the cost, ladies and gentlemen, you want to smell amazing this spring
summertime, pick this up and thank me later. Next up I'm going to give you a fragrance that
is going to be the heaviest here even though we're talking spring and summer time you can potentially
wear this for evening wear, romantic settings, more sensual occasions, work or even if you like
deeper darker sweeter scents definitely go with this one here, it's a little bit floral
it's a little bit leathery, it's definitely sweet, it's got pralines, vanilla, saffron, which gives
this leathery undertone, it has some floral components, definitely hevier, it's got oud in here
you guys might scratch your head and say "Max really? oud for summer and spring time?" yes if you
control the sprays you're going to smell amazing, you're going to stand out in the crowd and
it's going to give you that edge that I'm talking about, this is going to be Shagnaf Oud by
Swiss Arabian, I talked about this fragrance many years ago, what this fragrance reminds me
of ladies and gentlemen, is a very expensive very hard to find, it's so good, it's not overly
powerful, guys it's got the floral, the leathery, the rose, the oud, but it's actually quite nice if
you control the sprays you can smell amazing all year round, it's quite versatile even though it's
a little heavier like I said one or two sprays you can rock this all year round, you can do four to six
perhaps in fall and winter, but it smells incredible, you're gonna smell amazing no one is gonna
smell as good as you, you're gonna command and demand attention with this particular fragrance
and this smells very close to Lancome Oud Bouquet eau de parfum which fetches a pretty
penny, it's a little hard to find some people say it's been discontinued, nevertheless you want a
fragrance that's very close to Oud Bouquet from Lancome guys check this out, you guys are
going to love the way you smell, ladies love the scent profile, it's one that gives me compliments
people definitely ask me what are you wearing, it's got this very intriguing exotic
vibe about it, when I smell this i think of Amouage, i think of Nasomato, I think of fragrances that
are very high upscale and very expensive. So check this out guys, Shaghaf Oud
from Swiss Arabian, very very cheap out there. I'll have all these fragrances linked
below to make your life easier that's what we do here. Next up I'm going to give you another
great fragrance for spring and summer one that definitely gives me a lot of compliments,
the most complement pulling fragrance on this list, this is a great one guys, if first impression here
is something that you like to to leave off a nice long lasting first impression even
in the bottle it says first impression lasts forever, it's right there, this is Entebaa from
the house of Rasasi. Ladies and gentlemen this particular fragrance smells very very close to
Silver Mountain Water from Creed, it smells incredible, it's got some oriental nuances some herbal feel
here, it's sweet, it's a little spicy, it's a little bit floral, definitely citrus up top,
very refreshing, uplifting, but it has this really nice bed of flowers and it sits on this nice
woody components, it smells amazing guys, it's got the inky vibe that you get with Silver Mountain Water
but it's very long lasting and very powerful as you come to expect with Rasasi fragrances guys
for a fraction of the cost, this stuff is very cheap, link below
check it out if you like Silver Mountain Water and you want an alternative that will not
break the wallet this would be it. If you never tried Silver Mount Water but you wanted to try
something that gave you that same vibe guys check this one out, you're not going to disappoint.
Last but not least I'm going to give you guys a great find, this stuff here is extremely affordable
from a great fragrance house, the fragrance house is going to be Lalique and the fragrance we're
talking about is Lalique White, Christine Nagle is the nose behind this fragrance and when I tell you
what this smells like it's going to blow your mind guys, this particular fragrance here is 85
or 90% close to Galloway from Parfums de Marly, when you compare the two side by side
which I have, the performance is actually right on point, perhaps Galloway gives me an hour
longer of performance, this one here gave me about five to six hours, Galloway is about
six to seven, but I'm telling you guys, bang for your buck, ml per ml
this stuff here will not disappoint, it's got a gorgeous tamarind note which gives this
citrus sour kind of vibe up top, with some lime, black pepper,
cardamom, violet leaf, cedar, white musk, oakmoss and a hint of amber. It smells absolutely fantastic
a great great scent guys, it reminds me also a little bit of Amouage Honor Man but it's really more
on the Galloway side of things from Parfums de Marly which you guys know costs very very expensive
300 bucks or so for a bottle, at a discount market it's gonna still be about $200 plus so
this is like $30 to $40 dollars for a huge 200ml like this of Lalique White and I'm telling you
guys 85-90 close to Galloway you can't go wrong, this stuff is amazing, it smells great, it's compliment
pulling, smells really sophisticated, elegant, great for the office, just running errands, something that
you can wear as a signature scent or something you can easily pick up, put on and smell amazing
without having to think too much guys, it lasts a while, projects pretty good, it's great for compliments
and extremely affordable. What more can you ask guys? so those are the top five choices of
cheapies that smell expensive or it smells amazing without breaking the wallet and the part three
