I bought Regale for 20€ as well. It's dark, spicy, and sweet. It seems a good club scent for young men and it's not "innocent" sweet, rather has a bit of oriental resin and always has a cooling vibe on the nose. Impressive.
Not a huge fan of Dark Door Sport vs. D'Hommes Sport. I think the D'Hommes sport, while it lacks longevity (works great with ISO E Super) -- is fresher, and more of an everyday frag for me. DDS on the other hand has this 'rotten orange' note, albeit lasts longer and they both dry down to very similar fragrances. Hope this helps.
Just got the dark door sport in the mail. Never have I smelled the original Dior sport. This smells divine though. Problem is the longevity. Within a hour I couldn't smell it much anymore. Had to reapply. Kinda sucked to be honest. If you want longevity, don't buy this. It won't last. Guess you get what you pay for on this one. Smells nice but won't last.
Bump it up with ISO E Super ; I use it with fresh frags to increase their longevity. In this case, the woodsy smell of the ISO E Super works with Dior Sport style frags.
Dark door sport another banger for the price 💣💣.💣💥💥💥 i got expensive fragrances in my stash OG sauvage & elixir and ysl y etc. But I also like good quality cheap clones cos they don't put a big dent in my bank balance 🤣🤣 and they also help to preserve my OG fragrances so I dont have to spend money 9n the OG again 🤣🤣
just got dark door sport for 12 euro. production date 01.24 will definitely need to macerate but im enjoying it so far. coincidentially d'hommes sport from fragrance world got available again on marabika so ordered that one as well (supposedly its the best dhs clone). cant wait to compare these two
@@thenicesmellinggentleman ok so i sprayed both of them on my arms separately. dark door sport is more of dhi freshie version, while d'hommes sport is like the dior home sport 2017 - its a typical freshie resembling the generic nautica voyage, bvlgari aqva invictus type of a fragrance.initially, but in the drydown the gentle iris comes out. not much, but enough to notice it. it might need to macerate a few months to increase performance. both are good summer pickups, but if you already have a freshie that smells like nautica voyage there is no reason to get it i'd say - unless after maceration the performance increases
@@fivewastaken I don't think it comes close to nautica voyage, albeit they are both freshies. I would say that D'Hommes (to my nose) resembles Chanel Platinum Egoiste more ; that light citrus freshie -- but with the addition of ginger notes .
To me Regale smells like you would expect the interior of a new Rolls Royce to smell. To me there is a strong lemon, a rose, leather and some kind of strong animalic note like civet or castoreum, or some kind of musk... Really not an expert in those animalic notes. Unfortunately I am not a fan of animalics AT ALL, makes it unwearable to me :(
Most of my Maison Alhambra purchases I’ve made on a website called makeup, it’s a network of sites across Europe. I know they have sites for Italy, Poland, Bulgaria, Ukraine. I’m not sure for other countries, you have to check if they are present in your country :)

I have it, it's nice but I find it feminine leaning personally

@@ip2networkz81 sprayed dhommes on one arm and nautica voyage on the other just now. they are incredibly similar...
@@fivewastaken this is helpful, so is it worth getting Dark Door Sport or d'hommes sport? Which one is better/similar to Dior?

I’m also no expert on notes :), and I understand what you mean about animalic notes, I’m also not a big fan of too strong animalic notes :)
@thenicesmellinggentleman
Do you know if the DD Sport is imitating the DHS2012 or the current DHS2021 variant?
Hope you or somebody else can help 😅
It definitely smells 100% like DH Sport 2021! Definitely not like 2008 or 2012!
For me it smell like DHS 2012 because of the iris note
I literally just ordered both of these
How is the dark door
@Jiggy609 I like it, and it stays on my skin for over 8 hrs!!
nice videos
Where in Europe do you pick up your fragrances for those low prices?

The first seconds are awful, then it's quite good
