i smelled one of them at the mall can't remember whichY’all ever had that?
And what bout my other comment? How long do y’all colognes be staying fresh?
i think if you store them properly you should be good for a couple years really
brehs lets talk cologne game
- Thread starter KOOL-AID
- Start date

A couple years is understandable but 10+ years tho?
I might fukk around and expand my collection even more if that’s the case
I only want compliment getters tho
The first 3 shelves where he puts the bottles in at retail those are all 4-500 bucks. He hopefully buys grey market, but even then it's only 30-50% off.
the top shelf with Carolina Herrera and Jean Paul Gaultier are all 100-150
As for cologne staying fresh - keep it out of the heat, humidity, and light and it should last for years. I've got a bottle of Tom Ford Noir Extreme since from when it came out. (2015). It's still strong as hell.
Worst places that are usually the most common
Bathroom counter
Window sill
In direct sunlight
The reason you can smell cologne in the first place is because of evaporation. So you're trying to protect your bottles from things the will make it evaporate.
There are a couple of other things that happen chemistry wise, but heat, light, and humidity are the big ones.

I wore bad boy cobalt yesterday I love it but it’s not beast most and super long lasting .Y’all ever had that?
And what bout my other comment? How long do y’all colognes be staying fresh?
It’s a earthy freshie best way to explain it . Starts earthy gets really sweet and fresh . Becomes a close then skin scent but it does last on clothing probably til next day .
All of this !!!!
I’m bout to clean my collection up now I still have stuff in boxes . I’m actually bout to display just the bottles because I’m running out of room .
I’m werid I actually really like a lot of the boxes . So I’ll probably keep a few .

That shyt smells like straight fire wood to me for real . It’s very intresting but I can see people pulling it off .
Jazz club is just beautiful in my opinion .
You can sample at Sephora .
I only smelled by the fireplace when I got some from FBO. I figured if I like the body oil the cologne should be even better
I actually been thinking bout copping another bottle from FBO. Speaking of which, any new body oils from FBO yall recommend?
I just got some ysl myself, good choice ?
Which YSL?
Which YSL?

That Pure Havane was hitting last night at the cigar lounge .
SOTDs
Versace - Eros Najim - The middle eastern flanker
Notes are below. The Caramel (which I tend to hate) and the Mandarin are very present.
And oddly enough - the thing I hate about the OG and Flame - that DNA is in this, despite very little of the notes being here. The OG is mint and apple, and Flame is Blood Orange - and I dislike both of those, greatly. But whatever unknown backbone of those 2, is present in this one. (I don't like Versace Eros Energy either.)
So 2mls is the perfect amount. Eros Energy - just a spritz at the counter was more than enough for me. Though it did remind me of PDM's Perseus. (which is a better rendition of that DNA - and Perseus is Tygar for men without taste, but have money. #SORRYNOTSORRY)
Caramel
Italian Mandarin
Oud
Cardamom
Incense
Patchouli
Vetiver
