Niche vs. Designer fragrances:
To make a long boring story short, niche versus designer colognes are based on storefronts selling the particular fragrance. Niche colognes are a little more rare/difficult to find. Generally only sold online or at boutiques. Designer fragrances are more popular/easier to find, sold in a lot of popular retailers.

First.

Currently Using:
La Nuit - love it, dries down awesome, lasts all night. I find it hard to buy new scents because I like this one so much.
Bleu de Chanel - Still new to me but, strong opening but a nice dry down, I'm finding it only lasts a few hours.

[FreeRadicals]

In for knowledge

Question: is Creed Aventus the overall misc favourite?

Does anybody here have experience with any from the Cereus line? I've been kind of wanting to try a few after seeing that baller's pic from the last thread, dude had like 7 of their line in his top case. Kinda stood out to me, but never had any to try.

The splitters can post about them as long as they do not over do it IMO, there is a list up there for reasons. The known splitters can also put things in their sig, I believe Art Vandaley has/does this.

most definitely mirin but hory shet thats over a grand in cologne. Last year I spent about $400 and decided I had to slow it down. I now promise to never own more than 3 colognes again. Right now I have D&G the one(Winter), D.S. and Durga Italian Citrus (everyday) and I love New York for him (summer). Probably Gonna check out Bond No. 9 Manhattan next.

Smelled it once, very woody and spicy, it's decently conservative but not really compelling for the price.

My uncle is big into giving cologne as birthday and christmas gifts, saves me a little money here and there but I don't mind spending a days pay on a bottle of something I really want and will last me a long time. I've heard mixed reviews on manahattan, let us know how you like it brah

[newtmiscer]

dont ever wear cologne...would prefer something less popular, daytime, fall/winter, signature day to day, not really too sure about mood/tone, budget 50-100$. any advice is appreciated from the cologne gurus
