What Reddit owners say
1/5“As a BDC frag paglu, I own Blu By Ahmed, Historic Olmeda and Iconic (And 9 am dive, although that frag is much sweeter). Blu by Ahmed is more Ambery, which is what i hate about it.”
2/5 Night out“I suspect my 9pm is maybe fake but I got it from Burlington so long ago and it looks exactly like my bottle of elixir,9am dive, Rebel and night out does so idrk”
2/5“Discovery set also needs some time to sit out. I bought 9 series and didn't like anyone of them in first try, second try i liked 9 pm rebel , third try i liked 9 am dive.”
