But much of your collection is blind bought. I'm not even saying you don't like variety, I'm just pointing out that your "journey" is not just about "experiencing scents" for you but about collecting bottles. Nobody really needs 300 bottles.

Part of it is about it being a collection. I do that with things I like. It's not something you guys would do but I enjoy it. Doesn't hurt anyone here so let me and wampa have some fun.


and you are one that fuels my buying the most you *******.

INB4 Oud Satin Mood purchase and I don't even like rose.

SOTD: BdC EDP

I agree some girls would like these but overall it's not even close boyo. I know you and I went off the deep end years ago for this but I still stick to my original statement.

I'm sure you can find needles in the haystack that would think Amber Aoud or Saudi were the most attractive scents ever, but they are vastly outnumbered by girls who would pick Invictus or One Million. Neither you, or Will own and tested the designers but I have and in real world testing there's no contest.

You know how much I love Saudi. I can't even spray it anymore from my dead sample so I sniff my nozzle and shed manly tears multiple times a week but it's definitely not a scent for complimentmaxxing imo.

I'm not disagreeing with you. Trust me, I wore my fair share of designers when I was younger and went out to clubs and bars. My point is when I go out these days, its not to a club where a bunch of teens and 20 something years olds are in close contact on top of each other. I hang out at lounges, restaurants, soho house and other places where there are older women in their 30's and up who, (at least In my experience), are very receptive to the tame fruity ouds (saudi, Amber Aoud) jammy roses (MFK Oud Satin/silk mood) and mass appealing "niche" fragrances Like BR 540 or Grand Soir that I wear out. I almost invariably get complimented on either my frags or clothing when I hug people as i greet them or walk by people. And i do 2-3 sprays max.

Explain right now before i make u red, Is it that good?

It smells like **** in the opening. like legit perfume and fecal matter and then turns into an amazing oud and rose. I dont know if you will tolerate the skank in this one.

Psp, if you're spraying 2 sprays and think people will notice you then yes it will take awhile to kill a bottle.
I'm not a sissy like most of you. Very confident in life.

SOTM : AdG Profumo
6 sprays

You would be shocked at how easy it is for people to smell you with just two sprays. Besides lets even agree that you need to wear 6 sprays, you have over 100 bottles, when was the last time you got through a bottle even as a heavy sprayer like you?

ninja taking L after L this morning. Damn.

Poor fella is gonna order 15 bottles now to calm his nerves.









.......then go play bocce ball and watch Price is Right.

LOL

and if I like a sample I buy a full bottle.

Why the fuk should I ever stick to 10-20 bottles in a collection? That's boring to me. Variety is the spice of life, trust me that is so true.

The things is 10-20 frags is a ton of variety. I probably layer more than anyone else ITT and wear about 2-3 frags at a time, and on some days, i change my frag 3 times a day, and yet,
there are a bunch that i haven't touched in months. You are more of a collector than someone who just uses frags for the functional aspect of things. And there is nothing wrong with either approach.

SOTM: Royal Mayfair.

Spoiler!

Still smells as good as when I had a decant in 2016... buriful. Just fuking buriful.

[xLostxAngelx]

MuglerUSA spring sale is going on.

You can get the official 10ml of the Mugler Colognes for the price of a decant if you're a member.

My favorites were Love You All & Run Free.

SOTD: Black Orchid.

Really digging this one.

@ papillo I'll try The Night someday but from reviews it's an oudier take on Portrait of a Lady. I feel like I should definitely try portrait.

I dont get that at all, i really dislike portrait of a lady. PoAl has a huge dose of gross patchouli, while the Night has a dollop of oud. PoAL is just not a wearable fragrance to me.

Have a small Black Orchid decant that I only used once because it was cold af outside. I thought it was an elegant scent for sure.

Let us know how you like it!

Got a first date with this specific girl Sat night boyos. Taking her to a hockey game. Was nervous asking her out cause we work together and there are usually others around and I didn’t want to put her on the spot.

I usually bring my SOTD with me. Gave myself a spray of BdC EDP during lunch to freshen up. Walk back in, she was alone so I asked her and boom. Want to rock Herod on the date but it’ll prob be like 70 out but in the arena it will be cold, which would be better. Hmmm

[darkninja67]

Herod would be good cold weather date night frag.

Go lighter.

SOTM: Lattafa - Oud For Glory
5 sprays.
Great clone of OFG

[CandyMane]

Ordered Chanel Allure Homme Sport Eau Extreme EDP, blind buy for the spring summer

Did I dun gud??

If there's one fragrance I would recommend for someone to safely blind buy, that would be it. 10/10 purchase.



SOTD : Gallagher Frags - Fineapple (sample)

I was honestly thinking of blind buying that recently. That or Prada Luna Rossa Black. Lol.

Anyway you guys mostly buy 100ml or 50ml or poverty decants?

My other option I was thinking is Black Orchid.

Sucks cause the early evening will probably be lowmid 60’s but after the game and during it’ll be cold.

I like Herod, but we get more spring/fall and summer here than winter temps in NC.


SOTD: CdN Sillage

In regards to collection, I don’t have nearly as many as DN, but I get the sentiment. If you’re into it, who cares. I’ll probably die with stale bottles I’m sure, but when I sample something and I like it, it’s nice to add to the collection. I obviously have to be a little frugal in some regards, but I’m exploring more into the Niche scents and I think after being in “the game” for so long, I personally can appreciate those now so it’s nice to have ones that I like.

As far as women go, 1000000% have gotten more compliments on your standard designer frags. Invictus, BdC, Gucci Guilty Black, Sauvage and Code Profumo

Dont overthink it like others ITT and wear some niche "sex panther" esque frag. Just wear BdC and be done with it.

Black orchid is way too heavy IMO, unless you plan to put it on hours before you meet up with her. You are safer with BdC and maybe Herod.

SOTD: will be Fiero when it comes in today.

[CandyMane]

@ssm

Black Orchid you already know is a fine fragrance. But for a date with a newish girl, and in the spring summer months I would not recommend it. Especially at something like a hockey game if that's where you are going.

I would honestly go with something safe. SUAVAGE (light spray) BdC, ADG Profomo, YSL Lhomme. No crazy or sophisticated niche type fragrances imo.

I love that chit, it's my secret date weapon for warm weather.

I DO have La Nuit that I haven't touched in a hot minute
