✮ℳisc Cologne Crew✮ Part XIX: Layer down and give Herod

[RoyalRyy]

Just picked up: armaf club de nuit intense and armaf tres nuit. How many sprays of each good bros?

2 sprays for CDNIM and 3 sprays for Tres Nuit seems to do the trick for me.

Beauty, had to do a spray of tres nuit just to smell it. So hnnngggg haven't smelled creed scents yet(no one local carries and too much to blind buy) but loving this so far!

Yeah, I like it better than GIT and I have both lol. Got lots of compliments on it too. I was so surprised that I’d like it that much considering the low price.

[W1LLW]

Have 2ml samples coming in for Kilian Straight to Heaven and Straight to Heaven Extreme. Also ordered small 4ml travel bottles of Vintage Guerlain Vetiver, and Chanel Sycomore.

CDNIM, I do around 3. Anymore and it's gonna be too strong in my experience

@W1LLW - straight to heaven to me is nice but not worth a purchase because didn't last long on my skin. Let us know how intense version is, haven't tried it.

[HALOBRYAN]

SOTD: 11th hr

EDIT: In my skin this behaves very different, A green herbal bergamot with slight pepper spiciness mix with the boozy plum/fig sweetness. This is niche done right, different that everything but still very pleasing.

Definitely a year round frag.

[W1LLW]

Left work early to beat Friday rush hour.

Scent of the Afternoon: Dyptique - Philosykos EdP. Smells like a wet bundle of freshly cut flower stems. Nice but I still prefer a Vetiver type scent when I want a post shower clean vibe.

SOTD: 11th hr

How are you liking or not liking 11thHour so far? I know it wasn't exactly the summer scent you were predicting, but I still enjoy it as a versatile daily driver.

Im really liking it, not what i was expecting but its actually good thing. Is going to be in heavy rotation for sure.

[W1LLW]

In an Uber going to my friend’s place. Gonna get yucky with the boyos for the first time in a few months.

Scent of the Night: Kuwait

Pocketed my 10ml decant of Saudi Arabia. There’s 1.5ml left that i’ll Use up before we hit our first bar.

Anything you guys use to check authenticity of ebay/amazon purchases? I've heard of checkfresh but that's about the only resource I know.

Got damn I love that scent. But the overall performance is so poor for me, plus I already own Fico di Amalfi and feel it would be a little redundant to have both. Perhaps I should just stick to their fig candle (which in fact I've discovered has a great clone in the form of Muji's Green Fig & Coconut).

checkfresh just tells you when it was produced. Cant confirm the authenticity. FOr amazozn, try to buy those items fulfilled by amazon and for ebay, its a crap shoot. You almost have to know what to look for.

Sth extreme.... If I had to smell another frag, this would be on top of my list. Mirin.

Chilled with some fams at home tonight, went with 1 spray of Herod. Amazing longevity on me, could smell it every time I inhale. Have to admit this is shooting to the top for me in terms of how addicted I feel to the scent.

Went with la nuit this morning and at one point la nuit was my fave but it fades so quickly that I much rather the richness of Herod. It's so gorgeous my dudes. Niche frags are spoiling me.... Fuk.


As a side note is anyone into phones? I'm getting the s10+ hopefully this month (shipping to my country is slow). I used to replace phones every year but I loved the s7 edge so much that I stuck with it for 3 years. S10+ is the first phone I fell in love with since then, totally worth the price tag imo.

Mirin. We had carnival on Monday and Tuesday. The entire month before then is littered with festivals every day. My God people love to party here. Just for a reference, if you're taking a drive, you'll pass a pub every 15 seconds I swear. Through the whole fuking island. Sometimes the entire street is littered with them. Nightlife is huge here.

Was training my balls off to get in shape and hit a few festivals in the final week, then randomly got sick Lmfao. Only went to one lol.

You guys should definitely take a trip here for carnival though, chit is intense. Music is great (like nothing you've heard before lmao), party atmosphere, hot girls, fun people. Epic stuff.

Ah, thanks for the heads up. Looks legit, but hell it's been a while and no matter where you get it from, someone's crying in the reviews that it's fake. Was sold by Amazon too so I'm probably good.

Edit: Opened up the Light Blue Intense. Pretty spot on with the description Coal Man. A lot of the citrusy fresh vibe from the original but a bit more on the musky side. Dig it.

What island you on fam? Trinidad and T?

[xLostxAngelx]

Well, it's done. Got a banana boat full of other samples I purchased from FragranceNet to go through.

First ones will be Paco Rabanne XS and Pure XS (original). Already got my review for L'Exces done and ready.

[dizzin9]

SOTD was: 2 sprays of



Great scent and performance (on a cool rainy day). Wasn't really expecting much initially and it's easily now the best Guerlain in my stash. The OG is probably better but I'm happy with the current formulation.

Just upgraded from the LG G6 to the Google Pixel 3 a couple days ago. So far so good, although there are things I liked better on the 3 year old LG than this brand new Pixel. ie: The Pixel doesn't have separate volume controls for ringer and notifications?! C'mon man!

[HALOBRYAN]

Whos the cheeky kent selling exeptional for men samples on Frag swap? LMAO


The account is fuking gold great photoshop skillz almost fooled me.

Well I'm sick. No scents for me for probably 4 or 5 days

Wait it doesn't? You're talking about a physical button or just a software option to customize ringer and notification sound? If so that's silly. I've heard lots of talk about pixel 3 having one of the best cameras around. Seen sample too, quite impressive esp the night mode. One of the bigger selling points for me is the s10 cameras, they're top notch too. It has an ultra wide angle lens that pretty much captures as much as your eye can see. It's insane, will definitely use that alot.

No software or hardware option to have different volume levels. The ringer and the notification are the same volume level. Lame

With my old LG I used to have the notification on vibrate at work (because they're usually less important) and the ringer volume on because calls were generally more important.

But yes, this camera is amazeballs.

SOTD: 1 swipe of Rising Phoenix Man Musk Attar on one shoulder. 1 swipe of Areej le Dore Russian Musk Attar on the other.

Well... fuk. Saudi Arabia was a hit yesterday, although I'm certain it had everything to do with the application of it. Right before we left my buddies' place, I took out the Saudi Arabia atomizer and did some reckless spritzes on my coat and neck.

Got complimented by one of the guys we met up with, one of the female bartenders at the place we went to, and even my main main who was at home sleep when I fell drunkenly in bed she said "... wow. what are you wearing" I was like "sigh... Saudi Arabia." lol. I like it, I just don't LOVE it like I do Kuwait and Aoud.

Also I thought I was done with full bottle purchases for awhile but some prick was selling an 85% full 100ml bottle of Bal D'Afrique for $90. That was THE niche frag, that got me hooked on this hobby and posting in these threads. Had to buy OG niche bae.

I'm not one of those "A phone is a phone" guys but... a newish smartphone is a newish smartphone. I rock an iPhone 6S and the very first Google Pixel. Not a life changing feature was missed that day.

4 weeks out from my vacation. I've been doing a mix of uphill brisk walk cardio, and HIIT training where I jog a quarter mile, bench to failure, then repeat till I've completed 1.5 miles. it's brutal but it's trimming me down.

Yeah the niche I have are spoiling me. I pretty much consider them my special frags if I really want to make an impression.

Since I've been sick, I only just started back lifting yesterday. I feel like I've lost good mass but whatever. Anything really high intensity like what you're doing will definitely make me throw up lol, I'll just control my diet for now but in like two weeks I want to incorporate some form of at least jogging out by the park or something. Nothing shreds you up faster than some good old running but I was too heavy before to do it without ****ing up my legs. I'll increase the intensity as I get my endurance up.

To be fair after thanksgiving, Christmas, and new year's eve, I had put on a TON of chit weight. When I started to peel it off I had to start slow. Was just doing 20minute sessions on a treadmill with max incline at a brisk walk for 2 minutes, then I'd change it to flat for 2 minutes. I'd alternate back and forth like that for 20minutes cause it was the best I could do. Had to do that for about a month before I was in good enough shape to do what I'm doing now.

It sounds like a pussboy workout but walking 3mph/5kph on a 15degree incline for 3minutes or more completely blows out your glutes (no homo) and hamstrings.
