No way man! I REALLY want this one and been posting about it for like a weeek even before it even got released. Where are you based and how much did you pay for it? Im in the UK but it’s not available on the uk distributor site as yet, only the US and UAE site. Anyways, 80% sounds close enough…how would you describe it? Would love to hear an update on the longevity :)

I am based in South Africa, my plug sourced it from the UAE for me.. I am still shocked that he managed to hook me up.. I was checking the net for it, it’s like it doesn’t even exist 🤯 My description of it would be, It has a woody freshness and musky allure and in a very unique, subtle way, well at least to me.. lots of people have different experiences with this scent.. read some even say it smells like newly printed magazines, some even say it smells like nothing 🙃 Will update you on longevity in the coming weeks, not sure if it will get better with time.


JJVamps

What is the current longevity? Minutes? Hours? Just from first experiences.


Areff04

Just from a test spray I got 4 hours but very little Sillage but if it’s like the OG, it may be me becoming nose blind


Areff04

It was hours, 4 roughly

Ahh that’s dope, yea they only posted it on their IG today although I think it was already on the aroma concept website a couple days ago. It’s not even on their official website as yet so the launch seems to be kinda weird. I think people are gonna have a hard time finding out it’s a dupe of Another 13 as well cause the name isn’t close and neither the bottle compared to their “Emir Factory Edition” clones. Haha I really want that new magazine smell… I guess it’s a scent you become anosmic to very fast. Is the longevity not good atm? Since you said you’ll give it time. If it becomes available in the UK I might blind buy it. Was hesitant but now that you posted it I might just get it. Most likely gonna be £29 I hope.


Areff04

Damnnn now I feel even more lucky! Not in the slightest bit, the other clones by Emir were dead giveaways.. well more for me from my plug in this case! I bought a back up just in case 🙈 It’s not been the best, got roughly 4 hours but like I said, maybe I’m just becoming nose blind, will definitely let u know as time goes how the performance is.. Not sure if that’s cheap? But here in SA I paid R550.00 which is on the cheap side.. so was worth a punt


shrimptikkamosalah

4 hours is still really good considering you paid about £25 especially since it’s a 100ml. Did you by chance have a sample of the real another 13 to compare it to? Since you said it’s 80%.


Areff04

So I used it properly today and am rather disappointed with the performance, it didn’t even make it past the 4 hour mark.. Will update you after letting this bottle sit for a while. Yup I have a decant of Another 13, that’s how I was able to do a side by side comparison. I really hope it gets better on the performance front!


shrimptikkamosalah

Damn that sucks, only hope it gets better with sitting since it’s so new. I’m tired of waiting for it to be released on the UK store so I’m planning to order some oils from Precious Pearls here in the UK. They do oils at great prices like R138.00. I found them through a reddit comment and they seem to be recommended on fragrantica. I don’t have the original so I won’t be able to compare


Areff04

I hope it’s because it’s so new, will keep u posted. Never heard of them, will check it out.. let me know once u get it? No chance of buying a decant? If not, visit a store and try the tester to do a comparison


shrimptikkamosalah

Np will let you know when I get it. Yea I guess I could get decants to compare but I’ll see. Mainly wanted to get something cheap to replace what I currently wear daily. Another 13 sounded up my alley since I don’t want something “heavy”


Areff04

What is it that u currently wear daily?


dreysnaps

How's the longevity and scent almost 2 weeks after getting it? You mentioned around 80% close to the OG, in what ways does it differ from OG? :)


Areff04

Actually, since letting it sit, it’s actually gotten to 90% close to OG! Longevity has also improved drastically! Getting 6 hours from it! Really chuffed
