Vanguard

Oh Boy! This thing radiates like crazy..
I ordered one after checking out a bottle at a Friend's. Pretty darn close to OG.

Ordered without smelling it first based on a friend's recommendation and it paid off completely. This is exactly the kind of scent I was looking for — sharp on the open and warm in the dry down. Ships fast too which was a bonus.

Canadian brand and genuinely world class quality. I've spent way more on designer fragrances that didn't perform half as well. The bottle looks premium too which matters when it's sitting on your shelf. Vanguard is the real deal.

The scent is bold and definitely masculine leaning. I personally love it but my roommate found it a bit intense. If you like projection and statement fragrances this is it. If you prefer something subtle maybe try a different one from Velore.

I feel like not enough people are talking about this one. Vanguard has a really unique character — it's confident without trying too hard. Wore it on a date and got multiple compliments. That's the only review I need to write.
