hard for me to tell that from the reviews, whats the most notable difference to you?
There are a few knockoffs like Fine Accoutrements Italian Citrus but none of them really do the genuine thing any justice. Maggard razors sells samples of the Acqua Di Parma shaving cream For $8.75 if you’re curious about the scent without breaking the bank.
It's very strong and tart. If I get lemons, it's very sour lemons. The reviews say that it has a strong Geranium scent. Geranium smells like Roses to me usually. I do have a Geranium EO. I will check it out. But I get a strong spice aroma, it's like inhaling the scent from a Cassia or Cinnamon EO.
I am not alone, Fragrantica reviews get Cloves and Cinnamon...
Stirling Piacenza smells great and is a decent clone, but I'll echo what others have said - the original can be had for not much on the discout sites, why not get the real thing?
@Marco, I also have noticed you always praise the original ADP
Looking at ADP website, I can see an entire range of ADP Colonias. I guess I'm curious as to what the differences are within the Colonia portfolio.
Are they very different scents or just slightly distinct from one another?
I do know you can get a 3.3 oz bottle of Colonia for around $60. Well worth it.
I find Stirling Piacenza to be pretty close

They are quite different and I ONLY use Colonia, the original 1916 fragrance.
I worked through some clones. I specifically did not like Razorrock xxx.
To me, the closest soaps to the original scent are Oleo Shiloh and SV Colonia, in that order. Buy either and you’ll know if you want an edt.
If so, the buy the original AdP - it’s worth it. And you’ll have matching soap.

Thanks!
I have, thanks! These two are my go to websites for fragrances.
I'm afraid you don't, it says €116 on the official website, for 3.3 (100ml) bottle + shipping.
Thanks!
There are lot's of discounters.
There may be, I'm not disputing that. I was looking at their official EUROPEAN website and every single 100ml Colonia is priced exactly €116. My experience (however limited) is that when there are huge discount the re-seller is typically getting rid of their old stock and it is not uncommon to purchase a fragrance that's 10 years old, which is smth. I wouldn't want to do. YMMV.

Then there are sites offering a small discount as they have economies of scale and buy in bulk...
A link would be useful and well appreciated
