Exotic for Women Impression #235 | Long-Lasting Perfume Oil, Alcohol-Free, Strong Scent, 10ml Roll-On | Affordable Alternative to Designer Fragrances

Do they smell like the originals? Sort of. Are they good scents? Yes. The reviews are ridiculous: "They smell exactly the same as the original! Sweeeeet!!!! Now I don't have to spend $10,000 on my cologne so I can buy that Rolex knock-off I've been wanting instead, whoot, whoot!" juxtaposed with, "these smell like urinal cakes mixed with gasoline and an old woman's perfume counter. I shudder at the very memory of this putrid chemical mess! Nah, bruh! Instant trash." So, naturally I had to try these! Bottom line: if you aren't expecting a great impression of a particular scent, but you enjoy oil based scents and are a bit adventurous, these may be for you. If you want a particularly well blended, refined, $350 scent for less than $10, then I guess go find your 1ml sample and enjoy to your heart's content. However, I did a blind smell test of these oils versus the real scents with two people. Both chose the oils over the original Tom Ford and Creed scents as having the better smell!!! The oils definitely impressions. I tried one on my wrists, instant and major olfaction. These smell of decent quality and are quite strong. They have good longevity -- though this depends a bit on the exact scent -- but may lead to olfactory fatigue (everyone but you will be smelling your powerful scent). Be careful not to apply too much, depending on the scent. Some only last a few hours, but several seem to have good projection and longevity. I do not have all of the original scents; for the ones that I do have, in some cases these scents were at least recognizable, for example with GIT, but Aventus was way off (see below). Even so, these are all IMHO decent scents. These are ranked in order of my preference. Creed Spice & Wood. This is the best scent IMHO, and two other people who I asked to rank the scents best to worst agreed. The name describes the smell. I have no idea what the original smells like. Creed Green Irish Tweed. I have the real thing and agree this is like the drydown, missing all of the sparkling scents of the top. Still smells fresh and in the vein of GIT, Aspen, and Cool Water. TF Tuscan Leather. This lacks the real leather smell of the original, is more sweet and woodsy somehow. I still like it. TF Tobacco Oud. Very sophisticated, smells of whiskey, tobacco, and oud. TF Tobacco Vanille. It smells like root beer?! Really on the sweet side, with lots of vanilla as others have mentioned, but a tainted vanilla that would not be white or yellow but darker and spicier. It does smell at least in the same vein as the original. TF Oud Wood. Nice oud smell. Creed Millésime Impérial. Does smell somewhat like the original at least - I do not have any currently, but it smells like Ed Hardy Love & Luck, which smells great and smells like the original Creed. Creed Aventus. This one smells like lemon pledge and fruit loops! I'm not saying it is bad. In fact, two people blindly smelling this versus real Aventus on a test strip preferred this to the real thing! Lemon pledge might sound bad, but keep in mind that some people love GIT, which other people would describe as smelling like "soap" or "shaving cream". It ends up smelling pretty good on my skin. But, Aventus ain't. No pineapple or smoke. TF Noir de Noir. This one screams rose, which it should! Not my favorite personally, but my significant other liked it the best. Creed Silver Mountain Water. This one does smell like silver mountain water after a minute or two, which is a great smell. TF Noir Extreme. This smells like you removed or greatly subdued the spiciness of the original and were left with the baby powdery smell. Interestingly, both people I asked to blind smell this and the original chose this over the original. To me, I like the complexity of the spice, but maybe most people would find the less interesting, subdued version easier to take in. Finally, I have to give a shout out to the customer service. I emailed about the Creed Aventus being way off, and wondered if I might have received the wrong sample. They were very courteous and sent me a new roller bottle. I had said that perhaps they sent me Aventus Cologne instead of Aventus, and wondered if they might send me a new bottle of Aventus. They ended up sending me Aventus Cologne, so they misunderstood what I wanted, but hey, it is the thought that counts. Happy scenting!

I have eight of these. I got the first three about two and a half years ago. My glowing review is way overdue. I’m a 39 year old guy and I have always liked to smell pleasant. It is a very common occurrence for me to get sweaty and dirty when I work or do yard work and that’s fine but I like to smell good when I’m clean, when I go out among other people or, sometimes, when I show up to that service call in the afternoon even though I’ve been sweating non-stop all day. There are inevitably times in life when you are destined to stink to some degree but it makes me feel good to smell good when I can. Since I’ve been obsessed with fragrances my entire life I have paid quite a bit of attention to them and I have owned many, MANY of them. By no means does that make me a connoisseur, much less an expert, but my lifelong observations do inform a bit of fragrance perspective. I have NEVER seen a better fragrance value than this brand of roll-on. There are higher quality fragrances in existence but it would take a real connoisseur or expert to differentiate these from higher quality scents. Also, those scents will cost many, many times what these do. These are truly quality scents for a great price. Now, do they smell exactly the same as the target fragrance? No, not exactly. Out of the 8 I bought, I have only previously owned one. I would say they nailed it about 95%. Close enough that it initially tricks my mind each time I get a whiff and I don’t think most people could tell it isn’t the original. But, honestly, that’s beside the point. What do I mean? All 8 fragrances smell GOOD. Each one is probably varying degrees of closeness to the original scent but every single one of them smells REALLY good. I have NEVER seen a “knockoff” brand hit 50%, much less 100%. Not in “nailing” the original scent, just making fragrances that have a great, quality scent. If you are looking to nail a particular scent at a lower price point, I’m not sure how successful you will be. However, if you are looking for EXCELLENT, quality scents for a great value this is it. What’s more, the concentrated roll on delivery is part of what makes it so great. They have excellent projection and longevity. That’s where they outshine most of the scents out there at nearly any price point. Plus, they are great for travel or to keep in the vehicle or in your pocket. I am going to be using up my alcohol based fragrances and not replacing them. I have already given up on any and all aerosolized fragrances because they all give me headaches. My “solid” colognes have all been disappointments because of their performance. I will be slowly transitioning ALL my fragrances to this brand because the value and convenience CANNOT be beat and the performance can only be beat at high end cost.

Edited for Sauvage impression So I have perched 3 fragrances from this brand and I'll say, they're pretty good especially for the price. But don't expect exact replicas of the name brand scents. Pleasures impression: I've never smelled the real thing so I can't tell you how close it is. But this one is a VERY strong floral that dries down powdery. Its pleasant and lasts all day on skin, and will stay on fabric till you wash it. It's nice, just too feminine and floral ly for my taste. I gave it to one of my coworkers and she loves it. Sauvage impression: got this for my husband. It smells really good, we both love it, but it doesn't smell like the real deal at all. This one has a very fresh, almost body wash/good soap scent with a hint of spice. It's good, but not even close to Sauvage. *Edit* after opening and letting it sit for a couple weeks it now smells ALMOST IDENTICAL to the real thing. Definitely close, if you didn't know you might not even question it. Well done. He LOVES IT. Baccarat impression: I can't smell this one. My guess is because it's got ambroxin (a synthetic fragrance used to mimic ambergris) and some people just cant smell this. (I've heard the same thing about the real Baccarat) This is in no way the fault of the makers. I do barely get a light whiff sometimes after about 20 min of applying and it smells nice, but I mean I barely smell it. My husband says he can smell it on me from several feet away and he loves it. I just wish I could smell it. Overall I'd say it's a decent brand of fragrances. I'll probably try more since the price is great.

Strong, long lasting pleasant fragrance. Spicy, powdery aroma. I do not feel that it smells like Chanel No. 5. The oil composition is strong and long lasting. Great product. Will order again.

I ordered nine of these “impressions” of colognes I’ve been wearing for the past 5-6 years.. and while they are “close”, some are better than others and some are “not quite.” I got these to bring when traveling as I’d rather not carry a $450 bottle of Creed with me on a plane, and decanting is bothersome. I was excited to see how these held up. Verdict: they’ll do in a pinch, but I’d say they’re hit or miss. First, the packaging was good, but nothing is going to stop something like this from leaking when delivered to me here in Colorado at 7500 ft. They were all leaking, but that’s normal up here. Not enough to lose much product, but enough to be messy. Just beware if you live at higher altitudes. So, as for the scents. Creed Aventus - Probably the most sought after here, and probably the most off the mark of the bunch. I have three batches of Aventus from 2015-2022, and this really smells nothing like them. You get an overly citrus-y note that IS there in Aventus, but the oil is missing the deeper, more musky and sweaty masculine, almost pheromone-ish nuance of the original. Interesting on its own, through. Not bad smelling, but a miss as compared to Aventus. Creed Sublime Vanille (my wife wears this) - VERY close. A little “sweeter” than the original and not as “pure”, but super close. Surprising. Creed Silver Mountain Water - Rather close, but not quite. Too “flowery”. Has a little too much violet or bergamot. Need to tone down the floral and it’d be spot on. Creed Spice and Wood - Close, but weakened. Lacks the sharpness of the original - muted and rounded, but the same essence. Would trick an a casual nose. Creed Green Irish Tweed - Essence is there, but too soapy. This is a classic that people will notice when “off”, and this is a little off. Would it fool someone from 10 ft away at the end of the day? Maybe. Creed (Millesime) Inperial - VERY close. Again, slightly overdone on the sweet side. Seems to be a trend. But close. I’d try to pass this one off and see. Thierry Mugler A*Men - The essence is there again, but too sweet and bubblegum-y. Misses the slight musk. Good on its own, but it’s not A*Men. Fades WAY too quick, while A*Men lasts. Tom Ford Noir Extreme - close at first sniff, but misses the dark, night-time amber and jasmine that makes this so special. Clearly an imitation. And a cheap one at that. No sillage, whereas the original projects like a movie. Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille - Almost spot on! The best of the bunch, and surprising. Something’s a little on the chemical side vs the original, but on skin you’re gonna be hard pressed to tell. Pleasantly surprised. Will use this. Question is will it last a night. Overall, 3/5. While good to play with and get a taste for things, don’t worry, your collections of originals aren’t threatened by this. For the price though? This won’t fool an aficionado, but it’ll work on a first date. Will I use them? I’ll see. I think I’ll try a comparison on each for a day and update this vs first impressions. The best: Tobacco Vanille, Sublime Vanille, and “Imperial”. The worst (as compared to the original): Noir Extreme, Aventus and A*Men.. Do any smell bad? No. I think the biggest issue will be longevity. We’ll see, and I’ll update.

Mimics Aventus well. I have smelled both and cannot tell a difference. I have had a 4 ounce bottle of this since 2019 and it has finally started to lose its scent due to age. This will be my 3rd time ordering in the past 10 years. There is no need to spend a lot of money to smell good. Quality Fragrance Oils makes a fantastic product.

Okay. I am not gonna lie. I own many of these fragrances myself, so I feel that I can adequately describe what you gain (or subsequently loose) with these fragrance oils. OIL VS. EDT or EDP (Oils vs. Alcohols) I know everyone wants to smell their best, but the last thing they want is to pay a fortune while doing so. With that said, some of these oils also last longer than their real fragrance counter-part. For instance, QFO's Allure Homme Sport projects about an extra 2-3 hours. For me, Allure Homme Sport ETD becomes a skin sent in about 2 hours, but with the oils I get 5-6 hours of full on projection. Call it beast-mode if you will, however, there are a few slight differences with fragrance oils. You definitely know when you are wearing the Chanel vs. the oil because the Chanel breaks down into a smoother and alluring dry-down. This is called the "dry-down" and its where you can break apart the notes. With the oil, on the other hand, they kind of mimic the opening, but give you a consistent smell through-out the fragrance. Definitely the oil smells less "refined", but for 5-6 bucks, I could not ask for anything better. The reality is if someone gets a waft of you, they'll think you smell great. And if they are an enthusiast, they may even ask you what you or wearing or guess it for themselves. DESIGNER OILS For QFO's average designer scents (Acqua Di Gio/Light Blue/Dior Sauvage/1 Million), you can't go wrong. They are all slightly little off, Light Blue and 1 Million imparticularly for me. That's not to say that if you were given a strip of the oil and the real parfum, you could be able to match all of them. I know for many people, what it really boils down to is the price. For 6-7 bucks, you can have something that in a department store costs you 3-4x that amount (for the mL you get). Forget the slight variations or the minuta of fragrances, you're willing to pay 15% of the actual cost for 85% of the quality. NICHE OILS As for some of their niche scents, I found Silver Water Mountain to be egregious. Smells way too alcoholish and ting/musky compared to the real one. I guess SWM was never a favorite to begin with, but I'd say this version did not even remotely resemble it. QFO's Aventus Creed on the other hand is a close related cousin. Of course you will run into the same issues as before with composition and definition, but there are so many clones of this out there that aren't that well-defined either. Thus, I'd actually put this oil up in the top clone list... probably right under Club de Nuit by Armaf (THE Aventus Clone everyone and their momma seems to have). I have not touched any of their Tom Ford collections. Maybe a trigger-happy buy for later. OTHER NOTES: Other things to ponder: think of the advantages of something that can placed in your pocket and easily applied. If you are just getting into fragrances and do not have a whole bunch of money to spend (under 30), this is a no-brainer. I mean you could either spend your money for a real cologne "cheapie" that lasts 5 mins on your skin or you could dabble in the smells (plural) that people fork over their Benjamins to procure. This goes especially towards college or high school students that want to smell like an adult, but without having to spend their entire allowance. In any case, anything that keeps the kiddos from smelling like Axe body spray, I am all down for!

I was really impressed with the **Quality Fragrance Oils Men's Top 5 Cologne Impressions** set. The scents are strong, long‑lasting, and very close to the designer versions. For the price, the quality is excellent and the variety is perfect for everyday use. The only issue I had was with **bottle #110**. The plastic cover was loose, the lid wasn’t tightened properly, and it leaked inside the packaging box. The other four bottles were perfectly sealed with no problems, so this seems like a one‑off packaging issue. Overall, the fragrances smell amazing and I would definitely buy again, but I hope the company improves the sealing on bottle #110 to avoid future spills.
