Osafume vs Chergui

The r/fragrance community has a strong positive view of Olympic Orchids, praising Ellen Covey's artistic approach and exceptional pricing. While the fragrances are noted as unconventional and polarizing, the community appreciates their complexity and diversity, with most recommending sampling before full purchases. The brand is respected for quality execution and direct artist support.

Chergui is a well-crafted but divisive fragrance with a distinctive powdery tobacco profile that appeals strongly to its admirers but isn't universally loved. The community consensus leans positive overall, though most agree it's not a safe blind buy given its niche character and high price point, recommending sampling first, especially if coming from different fragrance families like Ambre Sultan.
