[QUOTE=W1LLW;1585020211]
mind n00ked coalman has a wearable decant of PWC while i don't. what kind of fukery is this?[/QUOTE]
Get Fokked son lol. It's pretty much your standard eau de cologne, comparable to Chanel's eau de cologne. The chanel is a little extra with the (i think its lime?) note. And maybe a citrus peel sort of vibe in the opening that can be a bit scratchy for me. The Pure white cologne is just smoother on the opening to me and feels higher quality. Just beautiful.
SOTD: YSL L’Homme, 4 sprays.
[QUOTE=W1LLW;1585017311]Just found an Oud Silk Mood 90% partial on ebay listed for $150 or Best Offer.
I offered $115, he countered with $125. SOLD![/QUOTE]
Noicceee.. btw, Zeman posted a tester of Pure White Cologne on fb for $180. Maybe you can talk him down a bit?
[QUOTE=Coal Man;1585019651]Lmao!!!
You guys are something else. Anyways I have to side with everyone in this page in giving Pure White Cologne some love. It's so freaking hot today. I came home for lunch but I'm gonna take a shower to cool down and splash on some PWC. It is BEAUTIFUL in this kinda weather.
[B]@ Paps I'd love a Juaventoose sample if you can. Doesn't have to be anything special, just a wearing or two. [/B]
Guys I know I said I wouldn't be buying anything soon after my last purchase but the absolute beauty of Reflection Mane has me eyeing Bal D'Afrique and Aqua Celestia since it's always hot here.[/QUOTE]
Got you. Just pm me where you want it mailed.

Let me just toot Chanel's horn here. . . I put 4 sprays on this morning at 4:45am.
Here I am, 14 hours later on the elliptical at the gym with a giant scent bubble of beautifulness around me. What a damn good juice.
Picked up Tom Ford Oud Minerale. It's a very clean and fresh scent. The oud is relatively mild, but definitely makes random appearances throughout each waft. It has a sea salt spray sort of scent, and is a pleasure to wear now that it's hot AF out here. I got 3 compliments today, and I typically wear "warmer" scents so I think switching it up really made the scent noticeable to those people. So far I'm loving it. I was questioning the sillage, but when my assistant complimented the scent, she asked if I just sprayed it or something. 3 hours earlier I had, and just one on the neck and one on one wrist. Now 10 hours later, I am still catching whiffs.

Wishing life was this peachy for me boyos.
Going to pull a double at the gym today. Had to hit back last night because I missed Monday. Did mega rear neck lat pulldowns, then some full continuous tension/isotension Goodmornings. Finished biceps with flat barbell curl (anyone else every try holding the bar out in front of them like they're giving blood?). I find that's the only way you can get peak extension on the arms, and enable the biceps to pull from their most primordial point.
Chest/triceps is today. My chest has so much volume in it though, it expends almost all my metabolites trying to get through it. Hoping to hit triceps with something decent before the night is up.

SOTD: MFK Oud - Extrait
oddly enough while 540 EdP and 540 Extrait seem like entirely different scents all together. Oud EdP vs Oud Extrait seems to be more in line with that you expect which is just a more "intense" version of the EdP. I f00king love this juice.

Can't knock the longevity. Even if i'm not the bigest fan of the scen itself

Oud Wood and Oud Fleur are my jams.
Sotd: Jimmy Choo Man
SOTD: the GOAT cheapie, Cuba Gold.
SOTA: Aventus Cologne. Tested the sample vial my SA sent to me after my workout. Immediately got complimented by some dude working at the shake counter in my gym. He also asked if it was "a creed" i was wearing, and mentioned that he likes Creeds.
First time anyone has ever called out a house in my experience.

Would bet my left testicle that if you were wearing anything other than Aventus or Aventus Cologne he wouldn’t have guessed the house.
Haterade aside, I really like aventus cologne. I don’t know what everyone was hating for in the drag boards. They reacted like it’s named Aventus Intense, or Aventus Extreme. As the name suggests, it’s a lighter and more laid back take on the OG.
Way more my style. Much more subtle.

Yea I agree with you 100%. Im not sure why people are hating on it, its not really my style as I dislike grapefruit in fragrances and I smell a decent amount of it in AC, but its not a bad smelling fragrance. I think people had some elevated expectations and were expecting something that would blow their socks off and this didn't do it for them.

I like fruity stuff when it's done in "good taste". After you pointed out the lime opening in Bahrain I was never able to unsmell it, and basically ruined the whole frag for me lol. This is why I like AC though, the fruit notes are way more dialed back than the OG Aventus but they still add to the overall aroma.
Speaking of which, I checked the mailbox after my afternoon gym session. [b]Pure White Cologne[/b] has arrived. Took a shower and spritzed myself on the neck and wrists. This is [B][U]by far[/U][/B] my favorite creation from Creed. It's the love child of Aventus Cologne and Chanel Allure Homme Edition Blanche. There's just the tiniest dash of spicy-citrus in it to where I don't find it as "boring" as Gentle Fluidity.
If they could get the performance to project a bit more, this would be in my top 3 frags of all time, right behind Roja Dove Aoud. Nothing earth shattering, just perfectly executed quality, blending, and versatility across the board like prime YSL La Nuit was back in the day.
...god damn this performance is ass.

Interesting take. Still have to try this one. I don't have high hopes. I still haven't picked up regular Aventus after selling my z01 last year. Recently picked up a new bottle of bondventus after going through my first one
SOTD: Neroli Portofino
Mugler A*Men Ultra Zest
Easy to tell Mugler reformulated the hell out of this before discontinuing it.
The first batches had a beautiful, heated, abrasive coffee with the blood orange in the opening. Then dried down to a menthol patchouli, which was subject to argument, but never-the-less is entirely gone here. Dick move to remove the dynamic opening that nobody complained about.

For $20-50 I dont think you'll find a better option than Zara - Tobacco Collection Rich Warm & Addictive.
You should be able to find it in most Zara stores too.

My bad man!lol thats why i stopped reading reviews after a while as i had the same experience with Silver Mountain Water. Someone mentioned the metallic note and it ruined it for me
[QUOTE=W1LLW;1585126561]...god damn this performance is ass.[/QUOTE]
LMAO. Thats why i asked you about the performance. I would have been shocked if it lasted long on you.
SOTD: Pure White Cologne. After all that talk..
PS. for any Amber Aoud lovers out there. Roja has released a hair mist version of it. I have no hair on my head, but bought it and sparyed a few times on my beard and let me tell you. Chit is strong af. I could still smell it this morning after I woke up. It is well worth it if you can find it on sale.
Well i spent $125 on Oud Satin Mood which wasn't expected and of course, a 70% tester of my grail frag Roja Dove Aoud popped up for $275. Blowing through all my budgeted "fun money" in the first 3 days of august but I don't care.

Depending on quality, projection, and color of juice the hair spray might actually be the hidden gem this fall/winter. Would save a ton of money just by hitting your winter scarf with one or two sprays before stepping out. Bet the sillage would be insane. I mentioned color because the Aoud I just bought is the red juice and i'm worried about it staining the **** out of shirts and coat.
edit: might shower and redo my SOTD. Creed's MI sucks so hard. Smells like metal watermelon. fuk all the way off.
