For my wife’s birthday today, I took her and my boys to a hibachi grill. We got there a bit early before they opened and decided to venture into a Dollar Tree next door. While walking around with my toddler, I came upon the shaving section and saw the Assure DE razor which appeared to be a cheap clone of a WEISHI. I passed and explored the fragrance section.
If I see testors, I can’t resist, even the knockoffs. I saw one called EAD Astute and on the box it indicated that it was new and improved. It also said it was inspired by a fragrance called Angel. Sprayed a small amount on my wrist.
I immediately thought the scent was almost a perfect copy of my Mont Blanc Legend Night. I walked up to my wife, asked her what she thought and she immediately said she couldn’t believe they sold that there. She had convinced me to buy the Legend Night at Macy’s months ago. When I told her what this scent really was, she couldn’t believe it.
I figured the scent wouldn’t last more that 20 minutes or so, walked out without buying and had lunch. After an hour and a half, I saw that it was still projecting, went back as we were leaving the grill and bought a bottle for a buck. Got home, put a few sprays on my wrist and on my neck area and it projected over 9 hours. 9 hours! My Mont Blanc Legend Night might project maybe 2 hours on a good day and it is known only as an intimate, close quarters fragrance. The longevity on this stuff is just amazing.
Never tried Angel and couldn’t compare but this stuff smells exactly like my MB. Funny thing is, I looked it up and the EAD Astute has been around for some time and came out long before my $100 MB cologne. Now I got to try Angel to see if it might have inspired my MB Legend Night also. I’ve never been into purchasing knock off anything but I’m tempted to buy a case of this stuff.
