“Get oil perfumery version. It smells exactly the same. Got a 10 ml. Used it up so I got a 60 ml. It's very good”
reddit ↗“The Oil Perfumery one yes. I would say it's just a little less intense also. But it's so close and enjoyable that I don't really mind.”
reddit ↗“Oil Perfumery makes dupes for Absolute Aphrodisiac and Blessed Barraka if you're okay with using oil rollerballs. I just got Aphrodisiac in the mail yesterday-it still needs to rest but smells close to what I remember the original smelling”
