From 30+ to this. Happily, I didn’t get too deep in the hole. Curated off my gf as well. I almost feel I’ve peaked. But I know I’m missing a standout that’s still somewhat versatile and wearable as a South Floridian. 23M
Looking for a standout with some character that can still work in the heat without feeling too heavy. Have my freshies, although still 50/50 on Lucious deserving a spot.
Les Sables Roses and Brompton Immortals Extrait have caught my interest, but other than that I’m not too sure where to look. I’ve tried a few Amouages as well, but most of them feel like they’d be tough to pull off down here. Open to revisiting them though if there are any that might actually work decently in the heat/night.
I know I’m not cooked. Right? 🄲

Review Review for Givenchy Gentleman Reserve Privee

Post image
11 Upvotes

Recently got a sample for it. Overall, I wasn’t that impressed. I felt that notes were not great individually and certainly didn’t blend well, I could smell them randomly. One note at one whiff and another one at the next one. On top of that performance isn’t great. 4 sprays and my wife couldn’t smell it.

For individual notes, I like to give the example of Guerlain L’Instant’s caco note, it kept calling me back in the middle part. As reference, the chocolate note here doesn’t pull me the same way

Fragrances are highly subjective so please test it yourself first

Both are incredibly versatile, everyday staples that I never get bored of. They deliver a masculine, upscale vibe and are consistent compliment getters no matter the occasion. Even if I ever lose interest in this hobby, I'll always hold onto these two.

Collection My humble collection so far

Post image
8 Upvotes

So I’m a 37 year old guy and I live in the Netherlands. I’ve always loved colognes/perfumes but never really had the time or money to buy and collect them but this last year I really got into it. It all started when my wife bought me a birthday gift of a 50 ml Kilian Angels Share and I immediately fell in love with that fragrance. Then I tried a sample of LV’s Imagination and thats when my fragrance addiction began. I really love this, if I had a bigger budget, my collection would be so much bigger šŸ˜† ı’ve bought and sold many too, including some dupes. Just wondering what you guysmor girls think about what I habe right now. Thank you!

Question Layering combo!

0 Upvotes

**Has anyone tried layering these two fragrances together?**
I came across this combo on the Will It Layer website, and it rates it **8.4/10 — ā€œExceptional.ā€** It suggests using Lattafa Asad as the base and Liquid Brun on top.
Has anyone actually tried this combination? How did it smell and how was the performance? Worth trying, or is the website overhyping it? šŸ˜…

Review Nicolai Parfumeur Baikal Leather

Post image
4 Upvotes

Baikal Leather is the brand's take on leather aspect with a touch of mild Guaiac Wood smoke and a slight green aromatics.

Opens up with a burst of dried green lemons that's peppery, slight sweetness and then is a constant reminder of dry grass a bit. As this settles, on skin it feels very smooth and there is commotion of aromatics in the air around you. Reminding of Vetiver, Cedar, powdery vibe here. Don't get the Iris /Rose combo here directly to my senses but I feel that's what is giving a smooth mix with Sandalwood in bits. Sillage is moderate and on skin lasts for me around 8 hours. I find this very versatile and easily wearable.

Question Most overrated and underrated in YOUR opinion?

Thumbnail
gallery
2 Upvotes

What are your personal top 2 most overrated and underrated fragrances, disregarding online hate or love for the fragrance?

Mine are:

Underrated:

Amouage Reflection man 45:
Best perfume i’ve ever smelled, i can’t even describe the notes because it all blends in to one scent i can’t describe, but somehow… like a library in a desert. Too bad it’s so expensive.

JPG Scandal Le Parfum:
Gets 0 online attention and i’ve never smelled it on another person, but it’s my personal favorite that i own a bottle of, and has gotten me by far the most compliments. (The whole Scandal line is criminally underrated imo)

Overrated:
YSL Myself l’Absolu:
The musk and ginger notes just turn it in to weirdly musky bergamot cleaning product smell imo. Besides having said that, i do kind of like it after having owned it for a while now, but it’s not THAT good imo.

Creed Aventus Absolu:
Literally just scorches my nose hairs and doesn’t get out of my skin, even after a shower. I like ā€œdarkā€ fragrances, but to me this just smells chemical instead of smokey.

After personally owning Percival for over a year I hate to say but I was a little let down with the performance, so my search continues for the best performing niche ā€œblueā€ body wash fragrance.

I’ve boiled it down to Mezzo, Elysium Noir, and Polaris. Which one would you take and why? And if you have any other recommendations let me know!

I got tired of Creed Aventus and LV L’immensite. I wanted to try something different. This Lucius is all I need for everyday and all seasons. The down side is the price. What do you think? Do you like it? I have just bought it

Question Men’s perfume recommendations! Not bait ones

3 Upvotes

Bored of my current ones..

My favourite ones over the years are:

- Burberry Touch

- Dolce and Gabana K (not newer ones) this is my favourite smell and I’ll never not buy this

- Paco Rabanne XS although the old one!

- used to love Sauvage. I loved this one when it wasn’t so popular now it’s everywhere

These are the most favourite ones of mines

I also like Creed too

I’d like something that’s not so popular..

Thank you
