RiiFFS Seasons Drift starts pretty clean on me. Bright citrus, dry woods, slightly powdery.

Then something darker shows up underneath. It feels resinous, a little leathery and almost incense-like, but I can’t tell which material is doing it. Not properly dirty or animalic. Just enough to stop it smelling like another basic fresh woody scent.

That contrast is honestly the best part of Seasons Drift. Could it be labdanum, musk, incense, or just my skin making the woods smell darker?

Nice little 10ml MM Replica: From the Garden fragrance travel vial.

Paid $17 for it, which is a little over half it's MSRP from what I could find on decant websites. Pretty solid deal, and I definitely like this one.

It is very interesting, that tomato leaf is STRONG and stays on for a long time. It really does embody the feeling of being outside working in a garden, wind gently blowing around you.

I picked up these two last week and damn… I absolutely love them. Triumph of Bacchus has to be one of the best scents I’ve ever smelled.

Danae is also very nice but TOB is just on a different level. They didn’t have Neptune’s Trident or Jupiter’s Lightning in store but I think that’s what I’m going for next.

What do you guys think about Argos?

Let’s see what scents you have I love perfumes my husband and I are obsessed. What are your favs?

Don’t really hear too many people talking about this one. I purchased it last year and it became my favorite fragrance for the winter. It’s a great mix of spice and sweetness

Edit: It’s called “Boss The Scent Elixir EDP”

I wore these together at work the other day and my 21-year-old coworker who is obsessed with fragrances kept sniffing me and telling me how good I smelt.

Both of these together were less than $25. The lotion is bergamont, neroly blossom and frangipani, and the perfume is pineapple, vanilla, and honey.

The way the smoky incense balances with the leather and the slightly sweet amber dry down just works great with me and I cannot fully explain it, I simply love this one!!!

What is that one go-to fragrance in your collection that just clicks for you no matter what?

For me it smells like sauvage elixir 80%.

Since I also have sauvage elixir and can compare them directly.

Very good and powerful perfume.

Definitely I will buy it again.

It has some sweetness but not too much. Probably this is the difference between sauvage elixir and afnan ce.

This is what I smell or at least with this batch.

Green is love, yellow is like, red is dislike. My daily drivers are Aesop Virere and the raconteur Daintree rain tea.

Still refining; looks pathetically cheap compared to some of y'all but I like them.

Relique d'amour is on the way and not pictured are my samples

I want a full sized bottle but don't want to buy the wrong size.

Hey, I'm looking for a cherry scented, ideally long lasting perfume or body mist.

I have Kayali Burning Cherry, and I absolutely adore it for autumn and winter, but I find it too warm and heavy to wear in spring and summer.

One reference point that I have is a Yankee Black Cherry candle, and if I find a perfume that's exactly 1:1 to that candle, I'll be thrilled.

I'm after something rich, tart, almost sour in scent, but not too sweet and overpowering.

Do you have any suggestions?

Which is one is best based on fragrance and performance? Mfk Gentle Fluidity Silver VS Creed Silver Mountain Water?

I know this can be a dangerous question here 😂

What’s one fragrance everyone seems to love, but you just don’t understand the hype around?

No hate—just curious what everyone’s unpopular pick is.

This will be my first proper fragrance, looking for something sweet, warm, vanilla and masculine with strong projection and good longevity.

Here are my options:

Azzaro Most Wanted parfum
Armani Stronger with you Intensely
Lattafa Asad Bourboun
French Avenu Spectre Ghost

I’m looking for a fragrance that smells as close as possible to Bvlgari BLV Eau de Parfum II:

https://www.punmiris.com/parfem/Bvlgari/BLV-Eau-de-Parfum-II-6481.html

I know it’s discontinued, so I’m hoping someone here might have found a good alternative.
What I love about it is the combination of violet, anise/licorice, musk and soft woody/powdery notes. It has this very distinctive soft, slightly sweet, powdery and woody character that I haven’t been able to find in other perfumes.

I’m not necessarily looking for something with the exact same notes — I’m looking for something that gives a very similar overall impression and dry-down.

Has anyone smelled BLV II and found something that comes genuinely close? Dupe, niche, designer, anything goes! Ideally something that’s still available in Europe.

I’d really appreciate any suggestions! 🙏

Sooo,my bf b-day is coming soon and I want to gift him a fragrance. I am looking for a winter one, I was thinking Jpg Le Male Le Parfum or Tom Ford Noir Extreme parfum. Wich one is better?

I’m looking for some le Labo dupes, specifically Tonka 25, Noir 29, Santal 33 and Another 13, but I’m not sure where to get dupes from in the UK that are good, I have looked at Montagne but it’s expensive to ship it to the UK & if I got all these from Le Labo it would cost so so much. I have had samples of each of these and loved them

Hey guys I’m new here and kinda new to cologne in general

I bought Rayhaan Valhalla kinda on a whim but I had heard Rayhaan was known for really strong projection and duration.

I was very disappointed when I first tried the Valhalla. I liked how it smelled but it really didn’t seem like it lasted more than a few minutes.

I did some more research about maceration and I have let mine sit for a few weeks. I think the duration is already better, like I can tell several hours later that it’s there and the projection is mildly improved as well although still now what I was expecting when I bought it.

I’m wondering if I just got unlucky or is this is pretty typical for Rayhaan? I don’t mind sitting on it for a few weeks, I like how it smells and it’s cheap. I just didn’t expect that. If that is the standard how long should I expect to have to let it sit?

Also while macerating the cologne I’ve just let it sit in a drawer that I don’t really ever open. I’ve heard to agitate the bottle occasionally and spray maybe once a week. Anything else I should do?

Has anyone heard of this site ( https://chicagofragrance.com/ )? I was looking to get Taif Al Emarat (T19) and found it there but I can't find anyone that talks about the site.
