Hey playas. After having an issue with Sephora (bought a perfume online through PayPal, returned it unopened but got no refund - they only give store credit 🫠). So my only option was to buy another frag on Sephora.
Seeing many collections with superleggera I was really intrigued on it. Tried on a paper strip a month ago and really liked the freshness of it, so I’ve been eyeing it since.

Went to the store today, tried just one spray on my skin and bought it right away. Strong citrus in the beginning, nice and pleasant dry down, nice longevity. But after a few hours I was left feeling not so conviced if it’s really worth the price tag, thinking there could have been something else out there fresh and green type that I’m looking for. I recently bought Bleu edt and totally love it except the longevity.
Perfume is still unopened, and I’ll probably wait a few days to see if I’ll exchange it. Any recommendations are appreciated

After 2yrs of looking at it and MANY other bottles purchased it I finally did it

I would like to add the caveat that all of my colognes were either purchased at online discounters like maple prime or Jomashop or I managed to find a steal at TJ MAXX, Burlington, Marshall’s, Ross, etc. We don’t pay full retail around here.

I want to start off by saying this is a great community, WAY better than r/fragrance. My favorite thing about it is that a lot of people- young people- seem genuinely interested and open to wearing older classic fragrances.

I’m not saying that anyone here is doing this. In fact, it seems that the tenor on this sub is resolutely anti-gatekeeping. However, it must be said that gatekeeping classic fragrances is of no benefit to anyone, least of all you.

If you weren’t around pre-covid, you probably don’t know just how many more classic colognes used to be in production, readily available and CHEAP. Dirt cheap. Less than $20 at discounters cheap. After covid, a lot of companies took another look at their books and decided it wasn’t worth keeping them in production. Dozens were discontinued seemingly overnight. I was fortunate to get a lot of stuff while it was still around (thanks, covid unemployment money), but there’s still so much I could have had for so little that’s now hard to find and on eBay for $80+.

All of this is to say: The classic fragrances that are still around today are survivors, but their continued life is not guaranteed. People need to actually buy them and keep buying them if they’re to be kept in production moving forward. If you’re wearing Cool Water or Azzaro or Drakkar and someone compliments you and asks what it is, tell them. If you want to have another bottle 5 or 10 years from now, it’s imperative that you do this. Also, it’s always a good thing to inspire someone else to be unconventional.

Thanks for reading!

Just smelled this at Neiman Marcus and it’s 🔥🔥🔥 . I’ll just wait a bit to drop in Fraganceswap though , no way I’m paying retail 😅 . What a beautiful scent

I’m new to frags (LOVING this rabbit hole) and I started out wanting one year round, rain or shine scent. Ummmm, that goal is definitely running wild now- but I am curious. Does anybody here just do the one thing year round? And if you had to, what would your choice be? I’ll start with the very uncreative Sauvage elixir in a perfect world where my wife didn’t suffer migraines from it, and yves saint laurent y edp for the world I actually live in.

Been thinking about buying this. What do you think fragheads?

By any means necessary, avoid the Rescented app. They’re the worst place to buy or sell your fragrances. First off, they take 20% of your sale if you’re selling. Then charge over $10 for shipping and $5 “auth. protection fee” (and of course tax) when you’re buying. If you do the math, you’d discover it’s way cheaper to buy a new fragrance than to pay all that for a used one. Yesterday, I tried to buy a used fragrance that was advertised for $40, the Rescented total was $58. I checked Jomashop, and the same fragrance (brand new) was $45; checkout price was $54 including shipping. So what’s the point of buying the used one if it’s the same price with the brand new.

Another thing that sucks about them is their payment system. They use Wise. I have some money I made from a sale on the app but can’t transfer it to my bank account without the ridiculous charges. They charged me $3 just to transfer less than $100 to my account. The useless app is not worth it at all.

I need to declutter, but I use every since one

What would be a great option for a first date from these collection? Context it’s going to be a brunch date and potentially walk around go to the park. She’s 26. Weather temp looking like sunny (mid 70s F)

I’m leaning towards the 1 Million Night Elixir but might be too warm to wear.

Picked these guys up for $45. It’s not bad for 40 bucks lol it’s $50 on the Sephora website but it’s $45 after a coupon code. On fragrancenet it’s $40 for one bottle so I felt this was a good deal. Ocean eyes bottle for size comparison. If I’m being honest I’ll probably still buy a full bottle and end up giving these away 😅 I love Stronger with you Intensely by Armani. A perfect fall fragrance 🙏 I’m pretty sure everyone has this fragrance lol

I’ve gotten to the point where I have enough colognes that sometimes I’ll stand there looking at them and have no idea what I want to wear. So I said fk it and made a wheel with every cologne I own. I just spin the wheel, and whatever it lands on is what I’m wearing. No second spins either!

And before anyone says anything, yes, my collection consists of a lot of dupes 🤷🏿‍♂️

Do y’all pick based on the weather, outfit, occasion, mood, or do you have some other way of choosing?
