To me they smell nothing alike at all. Giorgio is a patchouli honey bomb and Derby is a complex green herbal spicy warm leather scent with a host of supporting notes.
I finally got back to my sample of guerlain derby today....now sniffing derby for the 2nd time in a year....this time i noticed that another fragrance in my collection that smell like derby....Is it just me, or does guerlain derby smells like giorgio beverly hills pour homme? Both have the carnation, green, and leather notes that are very similar to me.... derby is very expensive in price and bhph is very cheap... an alternative to derby?

They smell completely different to me.
Remember that while it is perfectly acceptable to criticize the content of a post - criticizing the poster is not.
Mean spirited, nasty, snide, sarcastic, hateful, and rude individuals on Basenotes don't warrant or deserve my or other Basenoters' acknowledgement or respect.
Not to my nose. These two are like night and day - way, way different.
No it doesn't.
Nope.
Hard work never killed anyone, but why risk it?
They smell completely and utterly different to me as well.
Is the juice worth the squeeze?
Own both, and have to say, there are no similarities to each other.
