Musky Musk vs Not A Perfume

The r/fragrance community views Dossier as a solid budget option with hit-or-miss results depending on the specific dupe. While their Tom Ford recreations and Jo Malone alternatives receive consistent praise for longevity and value, some dupes fail to capture the original's dry down or character. Quality and performance improve after the scents age for a month or so.

Not A Perfume is extremely divisive, with reactions ranging from love to hatred depending heavily on individual skin chemistry and potential genetic anosmia to its key molecules. The fragrance works beautifully for some wearers who find it comforting and receive compliments, but others experience it as unpleasantly sharp or can't smell it at all, making it one of the most unpredictable fragrances in the community.
