“We are mainly paying for the marketing not the juice and this has been proven by ME dupe houses that can do some of the expensive scents for practically 1:1 such as LV Imagination and Bujairami's dupe Hectic or PDM Althair and French Avenue's Liquid Brun.”

“Fire is a clone of Gissah imperial valley, tropical is paradise garden JPG, Malibu is JPG Le beau parfum, Chrome is Erba Gold, Viper is black Afghano ( don't recommend extremely dark), Black is Nishane Hacivat, nautilus is Xerjoff 40 knots, Kobra is LV imagina”
