Okay, so I was scrolling through my usual online haunts the other day, looking for something new to try out. You know, just another way to switch things up a bit. And that’s when I stumbled upon this thing called “ALT. Fragrances.” Sounded interesting, right? Kind of like an alternative to the usual expensive stuff.
So I started digging. Turns out, this brand, “ALT. Fragrances,” they’re all about making scents that are like the fancy ones but without the crazy price tag. They skip all the usual expensive stuff that makes perfumes cost a fortune. No celebrity faces or fancy bottles here. Just good smells.
First, I checked out their whole thing. They say they started back in 2019. And the guy who started it, Michael Saba, he wanted to make nice smells available to everyone, not just those who can afford to splurge. Nice, right?
My Little Experiment
Then I got to the fun part – trying them out. I ordered a few of their fragrances online. The package arrived pretty quickly, which was a good start. Here’s what I tried:
- One that’s supposed to be like “Creed Aventus.” This is the big one, the one everyone talks about. And you know what? It smelled pretty darn close! It had that same kind of fancy, woody smell. I was impressed.
- Another one I tried was their version of “Baccarat Rouge 540.” Now, this one is super popular, and for a good reason. It’s sweet but not too much, with a bit of a spicy kick. The ALT. version was quite similar. Not exactly the same, but definitely in the same ballpark.
- I also gave their “Oud Wood” a shot. This one is more on the strong side, with a deep, kind of mysterious scent. ALT.’s take on it was also pretty good. It had that same strong vibe.
Wrapping It Up
After wearing these for a few days, I have to say, I’m pretty happy with my little experiment. These ALT. fragrances, they did a good job of smelling like the expensive stuff. It’s not 100% the same, but it’s close enough that most people probably wouldn’t notice. Plus, they say all their stuff is made with good ingredients, vegan, cruelty-free, and all that. That’s important, you know?
So, if you’re like me and you like trying out new things without spending a ton of money, you might want to check out ALT. Fragrances. They seem like a decent alternative to the usual high-end options. Just my two cents on it!
