As a beginner myself, whenever reviewers compare two similar fragrances and say they prefer the more expensive version because the quality is better, I always wonder can they really smell the quality, or are people naturally influence by the higher price. Blind tests would be awesome.

Once you become familiar with different fragrances, you can usually smell the difference in either depth, quality or both. The average person may not be able to, but any worthwhile reviewer can for sure.
@dreamcoma2213
Жыл бұрын
As a beginner you probably could not tell the difference, but a developed nose can. There are lots of clones of high end frags, and sometimes they are spot on, but sometimes there are skunky notes that are obvious. Also, these are people that have bottles of both to compare over months or even years.

Looking forward to hearing from anyone else in your community and thank you for all of the amazing content!!

Decants can evaporate slowly. You can seal them with plumbers tape and that can slow it down. Your bottles should be fine indefinitely if you keep them away from light and heat. Some fragrances actually get better and stronger with age.
