| 01 | Royal Blend Vintage French Avenue “I think this nails the opening and the dry down is a 9/10. None of the nasty opening scents you get from some other dupes. Longevity after 1 spray doesn't seem as good as the real thing, but I can forgive that at 12% of the price. I don't think this gets enough attention, but neither does Old Fashioned. If you get a chance to smell OF and you like it, Royal Blend Vintage by French Avenue is a safe”what reddit says ↓ |

I like it a lot but smells nothing like angel's share”what reddit says ↓ |
