Misc Cologne Crew Pt. X: Rocking Tom Ford before it was cool

[rdog3]

SOTD: Burberry London

probably my daytime signature fall scent this year. Good stuff, not sure why this stuff doesn't get much love on here when it's so cheap.

[SONOFABULK]

I was showing a buddy of mine all of my frags yesterday, and out of everything (Ambre Nuit, TV, TL, 1861, Aventus, MI, etc.) his favorite was Cuba Gold by a mile.... Ended up just giving it to him because I never really liked that or Le Male anyway. He's giving me 4 polo shirts that he ordered online that didn't fit him anyway so I figured it was the least I could do.

SOTD: Nothing yet, thinking of Himalaya

lol, 4 polo shirts >>>>> Cuba Gold but i don't think it's worth it anyways to ship them back. They told me i had to pay like 18 to return all the shirts i had so i just kept it. I still think Cuba Gold is the greatest poverty cologne and Mont Blanc Individuel comes second.

I like MBI a lot. Don't own OS and haven't sampled it for about 2 yrs so I can't remember the smell.

PM your address and I will send you a small sample of MBI.

[Dreyth]

I'm about to swap a lot of my collection for 50ml of bois farine and hopefully a 50ml of GPHII. I don't find the purpose of having them when i rarely grab for them and won't ever get a bottle of them. After smelling Vetiver Tonka, i still have it as my number 1 and i don't see anything beating this unless it's a good GIT batch.

never smelled vetiver tonka crew

that must change soon

Thanks brah! PMed & repped


SOTD: Ocean Pacific

[niktak11]

If I still have my sample of it somewhere I'll throw it in with your bondventus

[Burtle1]

that feel when you want to try a new cologne but don't know what to go with.


in love with creed aventus, so wanting something on that level.

I wasn't a fan of green irish tweed

i've gotten a decent amount of compliments when wearing cuba gold. **** just doesn't last too long unfortunately

waiting on my la nuit and bondventus to get here so i guess SOTD: burberry london

[FNFup15]

i need to try individuel, isn't it like os? And yea 4 polos for cuba gold?? Profit

mbi > os

[SONOFABULK]

I need to try Individuel, isn't it like OS? And yea 4 polos for Cuba Gold?? Profit

I have both and OS is weaker than MBI in my opinion but a little smoother. Overall, i actually like MBI more than Original Santal, especially when you consider the price difference.

Going to watch a hockey game, then to the bar after.

SOTN: Tobacco Vanille or SDV

Guys, I'm looking for a good versatile cologne to wear. I just ran out of my previous favorite (Hermes Terre d'Hermes) that I absolutely loved. I've been told to look at Creed Aventus or Tom Ford Tuscan Leather but both of those are so expensive. I guess I could justify the cost if they're THAT good, but I'm looking for something to wear on the daily, a new signature scent if you will. Also, where should I purchase scents from? I'm looking for a good website. I'd also be interested in ordering samples. Thanks!

[boyharvey]

SOTD: Acqua di Parma MDS


SOTN: most likely TV

[MetroBrah]

SOTD: Michael Jordan Legend

I love it. Probably the most affordable gourmand available

[Coolcicada]

Finally found one of the cheaper Guerlains that I've been searching for - I was able to get a 100mL for just $55OTD. Guerlain Coriolan. http://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/G...olan-2288.html. Released in 1998 but quickly discontinued and repackaged into a bee bottle for several times the price (and then into a wood bottle?). Still available on eBay for reasonable price but shipping always ruined the deals.


(Not my photo)

SOTD was 2 sprays Azure Lime + 1 spray Neroli Portofino.

If you want to buy full bottles I'll let others give suggestions...I don't have enough experience with designers to know whats good. But you can also buy decants, which are small amounts of a fragrance, and then you can buy more expensive stuff without breaking the bank. (So 10ml of Aventus is like $18 or something.) If you decide to go this route then you can have a variety of fragrances without going broke. If you're interdested in this I'll offer some suggestions.

I was thinking Pure Havane by Thierry Mugler.

[YNAGDJ]

Stuck between

-Guccci Guilty Black
-Versace Man
-Dolce and Cabanna The One
-YSL La Nuit

Which one will make the sloots go crazy?

Yes, I'm very interested in this... I would love to have a variety to help me pick a larger bottle down the line. Where can I get decants?

People do splits in here occassionally. (A split is the dividing of a fragrance into portions -- the portion bottled into an atomizer is called a decant.) Check out OP for more info. I forget who's splitting what right now. Also join FB group Fragrance Guru Nation...a lot of splits go on in there. Standard price for a sample is $3/0.7ml. Keep that in mind when buying samples.

If you think you can make your mind up as to whether you like a cologne or not right off the bat, then it might be better to look into samples; if you think you might need some more time to decide, get some 5-10ml decants. Going the sample route = more knowledge of what you like/dislike, but less cost effective. Going the decant route = more cost effective but less knowledge of what you will learn that you like/dislike.

If you wanna hop right in I can give you a quick suggestion. Check out Terri on ebay (tsutherland9) (shes legit, her FB page is Decadent Decants). Get these from her 1ml niche sample auction.
Creed Aventus
Creed Green Irish Tweed
Creed Virgin Island Water
Thierry Mugler A*men Pure Havane
Thierry Mugler A*men Pure Malt
Guerlain Spiritueuse Double Vanille
Guerlain Tonka Imperiale

Edit: On second thought maybe just check out m323's sig hes got a lot of good stuff. dunno how small of decants he does though.

[SONOFABULK]

I'm trying out Charles street right now and it smells just like Tuscan leather except way weaker. I got a bad spray off the atomizer so I'll give it another try next time and I'll give it a full wearing. I just think tl > Charles street so far and that's mostly based off performance.

[dizzy242]

New Combo

SOTN: 2 sprays Plum Japonais + 1 spray Tobacco Vanille

[BrokenBad]

Just ordered Pomegranate Noir, should be here in a week or so. Anyone tried it here? I sampled it a week or so ago and along with the other Jo Malones the scent is probably one of, if not the most natural one I've tried.

[klax410]

Currently trying to find a decant of Aventus and one of Ford TV
