Mango? Woods? Spice? Sounds interesting. Fresh spice, warm spice or fougere spice?

Probably a combination of all of the above. It's like a fruity Sauvage, or a mango dominant Erba Pura. Except the performance is far better than either of those. The apple note is very well done, too.

SOTM: Xerjoff - 40 Knots

7 sprays for the new cold air here

SOTD: Ambassador Men by Gisada. Underrated mango and apple woody/spicy classic.

I want to try this one. I think that Dutch witch pimps the crap out of this house.

Mancera - Aoud Lemon Mint.

SOTD : Mancera - Cedrat Boise Intense

This is still a weird one to me. I really like regular CB, but just can't get into CBI the same. Much heavier and smokier.

SOTM: BDK - Gris Charnel Extrait

6 sprays for the windy cold ass day. It's good. More dark than the original. Probably the patchouli.

SOTD for me is Penhaligon's Tragedy of Lord George, sampled from the perfume store.


Very brandy-ish smelling opening which is by design, as the line I believe is based upon recreating scents of a fictional English upper class. Evolves into woody smells, spice and soap. It definitely tells a story, I was imagining a regal gentleman who sips brandy in a lounge before heading for a hot shave.


Hefty price tag though.

SOTD : Le Male Elixir

This is, probably, a top 10 designer for me. It's absolutely fantastic.

And yes I know I waffle back & forth between Elixir and Parfum being better, but today I like Elixir more.

[Papillo]

Nah. Definitely not Aventus dna

SOTD: Chanel Plat Egoiste

Sort of blind bought. I had body wash years ago that I loved. It exploded in my gym bag, hadn’t dealt with it since but loved the smell. Legit no regrets. Smells like spring or a New England Summer in a bottle. Heaven.

Speaking of body washes, i read about this somewhere online and bought it since it was cheap at target. It surprisingly does smell similar to Aventus



SOTM: Hypnotizing Fire- The Harmonist. Smells decent but has patchouli which is an instant turn off for me. I still havent found a patchouli fragrance that i like. Will be washing this off soon.

[darkninja67]

Only body wash brand I use is Molton Brown. Very high quality

[IronCharles]

SOTD. Nice sandalwood bomb.

Can't go wrong with a classic.

Ayyy. I still have about 20% left of a bottle my wife bought me back in 2006 when we were dating.

SOTD: Green Irish Tweed

SOTD: Azzaro - Wanted By Night

at least 8 sprays for a crappy Saturday.

Hoping this one doesn't go disco, it's a stellar fall and winter time classic. So damn good.

[SirFapsAIot]

Gave Grand Soir another chance and wow...glad I did. Frag got right to work and melted into a buttery vanilla, super addictive.

SOTD : Gallagher - Septamber

Got this one, it's fukking amazing, going to be nabbing a full bottle of this and also Mists of Time...going to try out Wicked Good too, heard lots of good stuff about it.

What about Hermes? They have a really extensive line of scents for men.

I remember their Rocabar being a fave, perhaps my #1 fave, when I was in my 20s, although I don't think it was as expensive back then, even considering inflation.

I love the slender green bottle for their Eau d'Orange Verte Eau de Cologne, although for the price (not that bad for a name brand such as theirs) I certainly hope it's not some generic citrus smell but something fairly distinctive and with some sort of complexity and strength. I mean, don't get me wrong, I like citrus - it just gets boring and most seem to smell pretty similar.

Anybody here have any experience with Hermes colognes?

[OT2000]

Hermes H24 is a good summer frag. I really enjoy TDH Eau Givree.

Never owned one, only spritzed it on at department store. Had a very orange rindey/woody smell to me, IMO they're very reminiscent of air freshener smells and I don't find those very appealing as colognes. I prefer muskier and sweeter scents tha have more depth and evolution.



Just me of course.

SOTD: MFK BR540 eau de parfum.


Smells slightly better after masticating for a few years. Still nauseating, though.
