Is Your Fragrance Legit? Good morning fragrance community! I hope you guys are all having a flawless weekend. In today´s post, I'm bringing a different type yet very useful content. How to check if your fragrance is legit or not. Keep in mind that the counterfeit business in the fragrance world is a real thing and my main advice for anyone who is reading this, is to avoid grey markets, some discounters and private sellers in general (especially if you are planning to acquire an expensive fragrance).  The first thing that I realized when I start this amazing hobby was this: retail prices suck! Since the majority of us can´t afford to have a decent collection at retail price, most of us tend to look for alternatives like discounters available online. Some of them are trusted like Notino and FragranceX, others can be a little bit shadier. Well, if you are like me, every time I buy a fragrance online, my mind just fills with doubt!

 The Clubbing King! Before we proceed to the review itself, I got a confession to make: The first time I smell this, I was at my local Sephora and all I remember was thinking: "Aww this is so good but not really my style." Like every noob in the fragrance world, people with little experience tend to prefer fresh and clean fragrances.

This to me, is a very unusual sweet fragrance with a high uniqueness factor. There aren't many sweet/night time fragranc...

    The Versatile Cheapie! Well… Here goes my first fragrance review on my blog Fragvice! I hope you all are having a wonderful day. When my fragrance journey started back in 2018, all I remember is the hours that I spent trying to find the best bang for your buck fragrance. I was still in college and some part of me just wanted to figure the things out in this subject. I knew that if I did some research, I could find some amazing fragrances at a cheaper price than your typical ambroxan/blue kind of fragrance. After watching tons of reviews, me as a broke college kid decided to buy the fragrance that started my passion for perfumes: Montblanc individuel. Man, this was instant love at first sniff. The smell is very linear and pleasant through all of the duration of the fragrance. Nothing will trick you. what you smell at the opening is pretty much the same that you will smell in the dry down. Its very mass appealing yet unique enough to stand out in a room. ...
