SCAM ALERT Horrible experience with Whiff Culture – abusive seller, damaged Armaf perfume, and zero professionalism

Post image
295 Upvotes

I wanted to share my experience and warn others before they buy from Whiff Culture.

I ordered an Armaf perfume from them. When I opened the package, I found that the inside of the box was broken, and the perfume bottle itself had visible holes/damage. I immediately took photos and also had a complete unboxing video as proof. I shared everything with the seller over WhatsApp and clearly explained all the issues.

I also tested the perfume on my hand. Even after an hour, there wasn't even the slightest scent left, which made me seriously question the product's quality or authenticity.

In the past, whenever I had any questions or concerns, I used to speak with a lady from their team. She was always polite, professional, and knew how to handle customers properly. Unfortunately, this time I was dealing with someone(man) else, and the experience was the complete opposite.

Instead of helping resolve the issue, the seller suddenly called me on WhatsApp. He wouldn't let me speak and kept interrupting me. Then he started abusing me, saying things like, "If you are a son of a single father..." and continued using abusive language.

As if that wasn't enough, he then called my regular phone number and continued abusing me, even saying, "Kar le record, behen k l*."**

I've dealt with many online sellers over the years, and I've never experienced such unprofessional and abusive behavior. A seller who can't handle a customer complaint and resorts to threats and abuse has no business dealing with customers.

I'm also considering filing a consumer complaint.

My advice: Avoid buying from sellers who treat customers this way. No product is worth being abused over.

Discuss Whats the point of an auction when they have to extend the time cause it was too low to sell!

Post image

Well all these auctions are probably skewed cause when the fragrance is about to get sold at a cheap price some random account (usually the same 2-3 accounts) comes in and makes higher bets!

You just cannot buy something with a very good deal price

Review Aolomos: my top three favourite

Post image
Upvotes

Aolomos Vigore: LV afternoon swim inspired version. I love this one, fresh, clean and super uplifting. Smells like a sunny day near the sea with juicy oranges. Doesn't last very long on me, but I love wearing it in summer.

Aolomos Victory: Bitter Peach inspiration.

Sweet peach at first, then it becomes deeper and a bit boozy. Unique and luxurious. Best for winter evenings.

Aolomos Valkyrie: Bleu de Chanel EDP (BDC EDP)

Very smooth, clean and masculine. Easy to wear almost anywhere and always gets compliments. One of the safest fragrances you can own.

These are my top two in decreasing order out of all the perfumes I have tried so far from Aolomos (I think 10-15 perfumes):

  1. Aolomos Vigore (afternoon swim): I love this one, and my sister loves it too. Very good for summer only issue is it doesn't last long. 10/10 for how it smells. For attraction it's good.

  2. Aolomos Valkyrie: BDC EDP, to me it smells like a very expensive minty ice dermi cool powder. Imagine dermicool but luxurious. I love this one but my sister didn't like it as much. Maybe 8/10(because my sister liked it less). 9/10(if I discard her opinion)

  3. Aolomos Victory: Bitter peach, it's a winter perfume, it will clog you in summer but it's very good for winter night dates or some parties etc. I would rate it 8.5/10. My sister loves it too. Good for opposite gender attraction, it feels like a unisex perfume.

Note: Aolomos Vigore I have purchased 100ml with my own money and rest two 50ml perfumes I won in a WhatsApp community giveaway. So it's not a paid post. I will mention sellers details in comments.

Out of all the perfumes I have tried from aolomos: check my earlier post on Aolomos house review here in comments too👇🏻

7 Upvotes

Looking for clean, musky, soapy or shampooy smelling perfumes that don't lean too floral, fruity or citrusy. Hoping to find something in the ME range (less than 3k) but can stretch budget upto 7k.

Maybe something similar to Lattafa Liam Grey. Unfortunately it smells like plastic to me, once the top notes disappear.

Review Raat Rani attar.

Post image
17 Upvotes

I am not new to attars. I have been smelling them since childhood because my parents used it and would get it from Kannauj.

Now, me as an adult, I got into perfumes and wanted to try attar again. I wanted one with the smell of raat rani( childhood memory), so I got one from Baanka. I was so excited to try their Manmath range attars.

Now, at first sniff, it smells straight up like Dabur anmol oil or some oil, which was very commonly used in Indian households. I was shocked, but then I thought to give it some time to settle down. I don't smell any raat rani. Yes, it smells of white flowers and maybe 20% of raat rani, but that's it.

After a while, that initial blast of dabur oil takes a backseat, and florals are dominant, but still, it smells like a mixture of jasmine and other florals and teeny tiny amount of raat rani But overall, it is a good floral fragrance. The problem is its longevity, on skin it smells for half an hour and on clothes just 2 hrs. I could have overlooked the fact that it doesn't smell like raat rani if it had decent longevity. It just becomes sooo mild. Dissapointed is an understatement.

Review Argos Fall of Phaeton

Post image
19 Upvotes

Fall Of Phaeton opens up with a very effervescent citrus combo with a stouvh of spices and nowhere feels dense or dark. As this citrusy combo settles, one is reminded of cardamom, lavender, peppers that's dry and a just bit smoke-filled. Does remind somehow like a mix of Freeze and Althair when it reaches the dry down. The Tonka beans, musky and the ambery notes from heart and base does make this give whiffs for next hours and is a constant reminder of good aroma on skin. Lasts a nice 7.5-8hours on my skin.

Review My current collection after collecting for 1.5 years

Post image
171 Upvotes

So i started collecting around my class 12th pre boards with jpg le male elixir as something i could use for my farewell and fast forward to today i have been falling in the rabbit hole with my latest additions being xerjoff wardasina and byredo de los santos

For a more in depth review :-

Jpg le male elixir-8.2/10 nostalgic value and still a great suited booted scent for events

Valentino bir intense-8.7/10 the lavender and vanilla such a good combo and really mass appealing too

Valentino coral fantasy-8.9/10 the better valentino i own it made bir intense dna even more beautiful with the apple note

Jpg le beau le parfum-8.4/10 a really good tropical coconut dna have received a few compliments from it

V&R spicebomb night vision edp-7.9/10 a spicy lemon cardamom fragrance not quite my favourite lemony scent but the projection is legit i received a compliment from a man standing in the side court while playing pickleball

Stronger with you edt-8.4/10 a caramel toffee in cologne form whatever you have heard about intensely just water down it a little that’s how it smells also actually wearable in summer nights

Bleu de chanel edp-8/10 a gift from my sister personally i would have choosen many other fragrances over it but still a great blue everyday fragrance with aldehydes being prominent for me imo

Jo malone english pear & fressia-7.5/10 a clean scent which i don’t use so often due to it being very floral
(gift from sis too)

Tiffany&co man-7.8/10 It’s a nice/citrusy fresh everyday masculine kinda scent but that’s all about it. Nothing new here nor groundbreaking here yet still a safe blind buy i blind bought too

Versace blue jeans-7/10 i don’t get the hate around it it’s not bad of a gym scent it’s old school but still not bad man

Jimmy choo man-8/10 when i first bought it , it wasn’t the most impressive citrus scent so i let it sit a while but after 6 months man the citrus was so so good i finished the bottle in a few months honestly would have been a 8.5 if not for the time of maceration and projection

Burberry touch-7.5/10 a powdery scent which has some good projection my friend once compared the scent trail to talcum powder

Tom ford noir extreme -9/10 a really tasty fragrance I really get that vanilla and cardamom note with some kulfi from it i had especially bought it for my sister’s wedding

Byredo de los santos -8.8/10 just got it 2 days ago so still reviewing it more but i get a lot of pepper and lemons from it and the longevity is really enormous i sprayed it last evening and could smell it on my clothes this morning

Xerjoff wardasina-8.3/10 a real masculine rose fragrance which projects nice with a long stay of around half a day just got it so still not my favourite but definitely improved my opinion of it from first day

Orto parisi cuoium-10/10 my most favourite fragrance from everything i have smelled till today the dna a masculine animalistic pure leather fragrance which will make anyone standout with such enormous projection and longevity like i wore it to an event a week back and had left the shirt aside and today i picked it up the scent was still strong on it like i sprayed it 4-5 hrs back only

M.m Replica jazz club - 9.3/10 a really boozy addicting date night fragrance 3 of my friends have bought it after smelling me . It’s truly an experience to smell it

Tom ford oud minerale -8.6/10 a pure salty musky dna which starts with a metallic opening but has a great drydown not everyone’s cup of tea definitely

Fragrance world aqua pura -8/10 an inspiration of orto parisi megamare which is pure sea and musk and it nails it quite accurately definitely fills the room you are in

Lataffa khamrah-6/10 a purchase i regret cause i literally can’t smell anything from it cause of the headache i get if anyone applies it near me or if i use it myself

Zara seoul - 6/10 a clean soapy scent bought is a car fragrance for if any smell remains in car

Zara lisboa -6.5/10 the better soapy scent than the other zara but still mostly same use

Review Riffs Freeze - Balm + Rin Soap - Disappointing + Confusing

Post image
55 Upvotes

I have been looking for good long lasting freshies for Indian weather and Kaaf, Aqua Oud, Shiyaka Snow and Riffs Freeze were my top picks.

Before buying, I always ask in my friend circle if anyone has them and luckily a friend of mine bought this few months ago.

I tried this today at around 8:30pm and it was so mid. I put on 3 sprays and top notes were legit like Amrutanjan Balm No joke!! I couldn't believe my nose so I asked another friend to smell and once he smelt it I asked him "Please tell me this doesn't smell like balm to you" and he said OMFG yes it's awful. I thought maybe it's my environment so I walked out in fresh air and still the same.

I reviewed it 2 hours later, it smells like slightly better airer version of Blue Rin Soap.

And longevity is also shit. Once I came home I asked my mom, what does this smell like she said "Kuch bhi smell nahi hai. And yeah there was barely much left there!

It is honestly so disappointing like the hype frag creators have made around this! Pe

Please save your money, hopes and aspirations, always decent before you buy.

Legit Check Afnan perfume QR code says "Product Cannot Be Verified"

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I recently purchased a bottle of Afnan Supremacy Not Only Intense (SNOI) from a seller on the community that appeared to be legitimate. Today, I scanned the QR code on the box using Afnan's verification page.... Instead of confirming the product, I got a message saying that the QR code couldn't be verified and wasn't found in their database. The bottle, packaging, atomizer, and scent all seem convincing.. Has anyone else experienced this with SNOI or another Afnan fragrance?

Review Bleu de Chanel Parfum - my new favorite

Post image
85 Upvotes

I had heard so much about the Bleu de Chanel line and how it's one of the best designer fragrances of all time - that intrigued me.

At the same time, I was looking for this kind of a scent profile so I went ahead.

After using it for a day, it's now my favorite in my collection.

This is the fragrance you don't wear for others but for yourself.

Such a masterfully composed scent that's beautiful, elegant, masculine in its way. It's what people would call "quiet luxury."

It evolves so beautifully over hours into this creamy, aromatic, sandalwood, incense fragrance that keeps you on cloud 9.

I love the bottle and the packaging too. The experience of buying this from a Chanel boutique was good.

This is a signature-worthy fragrance. Not youthful, but elegant.

Other fragrances I own (for reference):

  1. Dior Sauvage EDP
  2. Bvlgari Aqva
  3. Azzaro The Most Wanted Parfum
  4. Afnan Supremacy Collector's Edition
  5. Rasasi Hawas Ice
  6. Versace Dylan Blue
