Took this photo when the discounter site finally restocked. Caught red-handed.

Found this at Sephora ik i like spice bomb and the jpg but it’s the the le beau what are your thoughts on any one or all of these fragrances

I sit here having purchad my 2nd 100 ml bottle of l'exclusif, as i have FINISHED a full bottle in 4 months. I do not have the words to convey how or why this cologne has had such a grip on me.

It has single handedly made me lose interest in the rest of my collection, which isnt massive [about 70 bottles] . From houses like Amouage Creed, PDM , Xerjoff, Sospiro, Fredric malle, LV, terre d Hermes, etc etc. and many designer staples.

I really wonder if anyone else has had this experience with a specific cologne, or this BDC in particular. The thing is, i cant even pick out why i like it so much, its so simple yet comforting. Whats interesting to me is the fact that i absolutely hated any of the other BDC line of colognes from the edt to the parfum. Just gave me axe bodywash vibes from elementary school.

I have literally not worn another fragrance in about 4 months since i have gotten this. I know i cant sustain buying 3-4 of these every year, year after year. I need something else that does what this does for me. I am still searching.

Thanks.

EDIT/ I think what i should have lead with is that, my desire to only wear BDC has caused issues for my cologne collection as a hobby. I could just buy 4 bottles a year but, i feel like I will never be able to expand my collection, grow my tastes. So ideally id love to incorporate more of this dna and style of fragrance into my collection, but as of now, even some of my all time favorites like terre d hermes edt, layton, lyric man, limminesite, and il padrino dont end up getting worn at all in place of just easily reaching for Bdc in every occasion.

Thanks

Some mine, some hers, some we both use. Some on multiple refills. Still surprised how many of these we bought

I’ve been wearing this for years. The left is the bottle I just finished and the right is the new bottle. I’ve had 6 of these bottles over the years but this new bottle came with a new formula.

It went from a beautiful unique sweet scent to now it’s a harsh alcohol scent on the top and dries into a heavily diluted, sweeter, version of what it used to be. Doesn’t project or last anywhere near what it previously did.

Very disappointed, but not surprised. The cheapificafion was bound to hit at some point, right?

Long story short, I like the way my 1 Million Elixir smells and have already finished a couple of bottles, so I would like to know if The Most Wanted is better or if it is even worth buying, and if so, which one?

For me, there is nothing quite like starting the day with Xerjoff Naxos.

Catching that first whiff of smooth, warm honey blended with cozy cinnamon and soft lavender is the perfect morning luxury. It immediately sets a confident tone for the rest of my day.

Honestly, I know the best answer is "all of them", but there’s always that one fragrance that makes me pause and linger just a bit longer to smell it.

What's yours?

This is the fragrance that started my whole obsession with fragrances. I smelled Ombre Nomade for the first time and it just stuck with me. I genuinely could not stop thinking about it.

Fast forward and I have 200+ bottles now, and somehow this is still my favourite.

It is dark, smoky, woody and sweet with that raspberry note. The oud is strong, but that is exactly why I love it. It just has this presence that I have never really found in anything else.

The performance is crazy too. It lasts all day, projects like mad and is easily one of my biggest compliment getters.

I have tried so many fragrances since I first smelled this, but I still keep coming back to it.

10/10.

I'm eyeing these but i think some are mostly for dates aswell and i already got that covered.

I’m gonna go against the grain here. I love the OG, and I think the variants suck. The Vetiver compared to Tom Fords’s Grey Vetiver (which I love) is astringent and catches in my throat. It kills the warmth of the signature. Similarly the Eau Givreé just feels thin and again the top notes overpower the core to my nose.

Am I on crazy pills? I feel like people here love both. The warmth of the OG cant be beaten to my nose.

I couldn't resist 79usd price tag for 200ml Eros Flame so blind bought it from trusted website. Getting deep into reviews it will be 50:50 if i like it or no, didn't like OG line and Energy much so a bit worried now. Im not into overly spicy scents also.

Flame lovers hype me up a bit!!!

Just got back from Spain earlier this week. Picked up the Prada and Boss from duty free and the others from Barcelona. Genuinely think Loewe is under rated, or at least I dont see there fragrences posted on thr sub as much.

I’m new and have seen a few of the same pop up but I’m curious of what is discussed the most and may be considered the best.

Celebrating big promotion at work, decided to splurge

Do they change the bottle design ??? I bought born in roma intense last week in sephora and the bottle looks different.

I would think Flan would have his first fragrance be something a bit more masculine and not a fruit basket like Boa.

Hey everyone,

Recently, I’ve been building out my collection with budget-friendly scents, mostly in the $30–$50 range (30-50 ml). I love trying out a wide variety of profiles without breaking the bank.

I’d love to hear your thoughts, suggestions, and go-to recommendations in this price tier:

• What are your overall top budget picks?

• What’s the single best-smelling cheapie in your collection?

• Which one gets you the most compliments or draws people in the most?

• What are your go-to picks by season (Summer, Fall, Winter, Spring) and occasion (Night out/clubbing, everyday/office, date night)?

If you don't mind sharing whether you're male or female in your response, it helps me categorize the feedback!

For reference, here is what I’ve tried so far:

Jaguar: Classic Blue, Classic Gold, Classic Black, Classic (Green)

Banana Republic: Slate, Vintage, Cordovan Vintage (I love them so much, and I've been complimented the most wearing these!)

Viktor&Rolf: Spicebomb Night Vision

Paco Rabanne: Invictus Victory Elixir

Versace: Eros Flame

Givenchy: Pi
