Nike dominates the podiums, lets be real.

They have the most money to throw at the top athletes. And your comment is a perfect example of why they do that lol

[sloop]

Nike is garbage, always has been. Overpriced crap

I didnt say I like Nike because I don't, but all the top marathoners are usually wearing Nike.

SOTD-Genyum Painter. Found someone on etsy who made samples.

I used to love Nike but they make my feet hurt now. The structure of their shoes are terrible.

The last model that were any good were Shox.

SOTD : Xerjoff - Lira (2ml sample)

First real wearing, this is super nice. There's a lot going on from the citrus to the sweet and spicy but it all blends together so nicely.

Fragrantica classifies this for women, but I think it's very much unisex and not hard for a cultured man to wear. Southern slack jaw hillbillies need not apply.

Took wife to a local factory seconds/Sephora returns depot to get some of that silly Glossier -You. 'Skin smelling scent' comfort stuff that females seem to dig. 4 assorted 50ml bottles for $100.

Kinda regretting steering my wife to get high sillage stuff cuz dang some of her budding collection are room fillers on 1-2 sprays and I honestly hate stuff she vibes on. Heavy floral/old women scent stuff ������. Hates the stuff Id like on her like black opium, poison, interdit lol.

Get her into some Shay & Blue stuff, very nice and not beast mode at all. I like the YSL Libre stuff too.

You are dead wrong for this mann.. LOL

I got my 1.5ml sample of Lira in the mail today (and a 1.5ml sample of Tonka 25), had to do a quick test spray on the wrist.

Ho. Lee. Fk.

Good stuff innit?

That’s nice of you to buy fragrance for your wife.

LOL

SOTD : Le Labo - Tonka 25 (2ml sample)

https://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/...-25-51697.html

Damn this is super nice. This is the kind of fragrance I didn't know I needed, because it's not like anything I have or have ever smelled but I am really diggin it.

Kind of smoky, kind of sweet, kind of spicy, like a powdery vanilla.

MSRP on this stuff is a joke, but I'll be keeping an eye out for partials in the groups for sale. Really nice stuff!

Have you ever tried Shalimar? I cant remember what Tonka 25 smells like, but you may like Shalimar if you want a powdery vanilla with a hint of smoke

SOTD : Xerjoff - Lira (2ml sample)

It just dawned on me what this smells like, Alexandria Signature, which I love. Lemon pound cake with caramel sweetness. Lira isn't a 100% match, but extremely similar.

Never tried Shalimar, but looking at the notes it does look like something I'd be into.

Second day of wearing Geyum's Painter and I decided to buy the bottle.

[IceCoal]

Get her into some Shay & Blue stuff, very nice and not beast mode at all. I like the YSL Libre stuff too.

Her first 3 main pickups after multiple testing trips were Libre intense, coco mademoiselle and irresistible and I swear they're all almost nuclear floral stuff. Tried to get her some fresh fruity/aquatics and she just doesn't dig em. Just likes classy floral sh"t. Loves jasmine, which is barf to me lol.

Might have to divorce her. Makes me miss my ex who loved the skanky gourmand stuff.

Very much a classic men’s scent. Without it being an old scent.

SOTD : JPG - Le GOAT Elixir

[SSM12]

Quick comparison of Apple Brandy and OTR

Both performances are a little weak. OTR sits closer to the skin. OG Apple Brandy projects better and is heavier(if that makes sense). OTR is a little fresher and has a synthetic type vibe IMO that OG doesn’t which makes OG a lot better.

Love the Apple you get from OG. It shines through and doesn’t have as many distractions as OTR to take away from it. OTR isn’t bad and I can see why OG was discontinued because they are similar and I feel Kilian been pushing those liquors so for a niche brand I can see it being redundant.

That said OG is better imo. I just don’t like the performance. Could just be my nose too though. Wasted Moment IS pretty similar and the performance is a lot better, but there are some nuances that if you are in the cologne world may make seeking out an OG worth it.

Long story short, it’s expensive, worth it if you are a collector because it’s a gem. But if you just want an apple scent and don’t want to drop the money, wasted moment or OTR have the same heart and can do the trick

No regrets though, DJ is the man. The heaviness close to the skin is gorgeous. It’s like a scent I can enjoy myself. I love it. Don’t care if others can smell projection. Smelling it off of my chest when I get a gust of wind is intoxicating.

That price is ridiculous. Remind me how sometimes frags are just a "show off" game. This was easily going for $400 when it was an exclusive, now its down to $125 and people are not touching it.

Reminds of the price of the new Acqua di Gio Parfum. Almost $200 for a 4.3oz lol.

Helped my brothers fiance move into a new place yesterday since my bro was out of town. She gave me 100$ to macys even though I said I didn’t want anything. She didn’t take the gift card back.

I never buy full price but looks like I’ll be heading there next weekend. Reco? I’m thinking a Maison, never got my nose on them before.
