| 03 | odeon Memo Paris “On fragrantica I see Montale Intense Cafe and Roses Musk, as well as Mancera Roses Vanille. These should already be cheaper at discount sites. Then looking into those for even cheaper fragrances I see Al Haramain L'Aventure Rose and Lattafa Ajwad. I doubt any of these are the same as Odeon but they may be in the ballpark” | 2 voices · 2 threadssimilar vibe | — |
