Antonio is a scam artist and these fragrances are a perfect example of his grift. I’m a perfumer and someone he sent numerous free sets to in exchange for positive reviews. Which I am sad to say I took part in. Now, it’s not that the fragrances are bad necessarily. But they are cheap dupes. He ordered them from K Luxury fragrances, a company that helps influencers and dupe brands to market. The fragrance are common dupes they create of Dylan Blue, Green Irish Tweed, and Oud Wood. There is no fancy scientific “scent conditioning” behind the fragrance. That’s just a marketing scam. Snake oil. The only thing Antonio is good at, selling a lie. His entire life is built around a fake image. He has the integrity of a pickpocket. Let’s also address his Antonio’s deflective response full of fallacies and rhetorical sleight of hand. Notice he doesn’t defend his product, just plays the victim and attacks the person. First, yes, I did purchase a set. At a massive discount for $200 (still overpriced for what these are let’s not ignore that). This is highlighted by his use of the Law of Reciprocity (popular in sales tactics right now), where it did actually work on me at first. And many other people. He’s given me free stuff (that he got for free) in exchange I purchased a few things from him. He also sent me two sets. And I have numerous messages from Antonio in Skool asking to buy more. Asking for reviews. And many times, unable to use the right name for the person he was addressing. Just like his admin team the one time they reached out to me for a problem. Couldn’t even get the names right. My name was clearly there in the chat response and at the top of the page you were typing on, was it just the copy and paste from ChatCPT that keeps giving your problems? You see, incident 11/27 I had an opinion on Creed someone else didn’t like and they felt like making it personal. The whole thing was dealt with and it was wafer under the bridge before his team ever said anything over 24 hours later. Incident 3/3 was me asking why a post was removed that his team responded “ Hey Mike - apologies for the delay as we're going through hundreds of messages from new members as well. Agreed - that comment shouldn't be against the guidelines.” Incident 3/21 was another one where I messaged his admin team about moderators abusing their roles and breaking the rules. His team used a chatGPT generic response. Antonio is either a blatant liar, or doesn’t know what actually happens on his own team. Add poor leadership to his accomplishments. The other “incidents” were me reaching out to his team about spam bots. Other people did too. They would always ignore it. They would delete posts in the public forum calling out the bots before they would ever remove the bots. There’s a few of us with plenty of screenshots and messages to prove that as receipts. Anything else, they never once said anything to me about.The final straw? I called Antonio out for using bots and paid actors to boost his exposure. He also has an 18+ group that’s filled with underage children. So of course he had complaints and other members leaving. People see him for the scam artist he is. So while Antonio wants to use Pathos Cloaking, False Equivalence’s, and False Dichotomy, all around his weird Halo Effect, let’s make sure we disentangle the emotional theatre and get to the facts. Any average Joe can reach out to K Luxury and make these. There’s no special scent triggers. These are aroma chemical bombs that are dupes of popular fragrances. You can find similar on the racks of TJ Maxx for $15. That’s where these belong. Don’t let an infomercial salesman sell you cheap perfume.
