These are my next cops for 2026.

Terre d'Hermes (200ml and 75ml), Aqua di Parma Oud (180ml), Creed Aventus (100ml), Creed Green Irish Tweed (100ml), Azzaro The Most Wanted (100ml)

Terre d'Hermes will likely be my daily wear so I'll get the 200 ml version and a 75ml for travel. $1.1K for all them off Fragrencenet with a good discount. May just pull the trigger in the first couple weeks of next year, especially if I don't spend as much as I expect over the holidays.

That should last me well through the year.

Yea I have this in the 100ml. Very good scent but not long lasting at all.

I do need to start trying out the decants before going to the full bottles. But the scents I have planned for 2026 are all tried and true scents I think I'll keep as rotating staples in my wardrobe.

Maybe it's a different one then. I have DG The One - Gold, picked it up at Macy's back in February

Yeah, they've got like a gang of flankers.
  • EDT - nobody talks about
  • EDP - the favorite
  • The Only One
  • The One Gold
  • The One Grey
  • Royal Night
  • Luminous Night
  • Mysterious Night
And prolly some more tbh.

I've never seen this joint - The One Baroque Edition

3423473016151-Dolce-&-Gabbana-The-One-Man-Baroque-Collector-Edt-50-Ml--1000x1000.jpg


The Parfum version dropped in the past week. So hopefully the longevity issues are solved

so far here’s my review. Currently rocking eternal perfume oils Cigars and Ice Cream the Tobacco Vanille TF dupe.

This shyt is strong and it lasts. And for an oil it projects surprisingly well. My only thing is, it’s not exactly TF, Don’t get me wrong the fragrance is fire in its own right but if they trying to directly do a 1:1 copy of tobacco vanilla I would say it’s only 75% there. Still good though

The Ummah!
Brehs help me out.

I just bought Tuscan Leather from Jomashop. I'm a Tuscan Leather OG but had stopped wearing it years ago. The bottle just came in, and I sprayed that shyt and it smells weak AF. Did Jomashop sell me some fugazi shyt? Or did TF redo the formula and fukk up Tuscan Leather? Or do I need to let this shyt sit for a year or something.

I'm confused because I have an old bottle of ombre leather from when it first came out and that shyt smells amazing still. But this new Tuscan leather I copped from Jomashop smells so weak. 0 Projection. I remember Tuscan leather from 15 years ago was loud AF.

AI Overview

Yes, Tom Ford Tuscan Leather has undergone reformulations, with many fragrance enthusiasts noting changes in scent profile and performance over the years, generally perceiving newer batches as softer, less potent, or slightly different from the powerful original releases, a common occurrence with popular fragrances due to ingredient changes or regulatory updates. While Tom Ford hasn't officially announced large-scale shifts, user experiences consistently point to differences between pre-2015/2016 bottles and current versions, often describing the original as a "beast" compared to today's toned-down scent.

Sad to say

1) All the TF joints have been "stepped on". Not because TF is cheaping out (per se), but most of the big names have either diluted for profits (when them joints is already 90% profit), or IFRA banned some chemicals. That's the main reason Creed can't make Aventus like they used to. Linial or something was banned and they haven't been able to create the OG Aventus.

2) Folks are always wondering about Joma Shop. They buy from retailers that have dead stock, but who really knows?

It's probably more like they downgraded Tuscan Leather than anything.

Low key, there's probably a market for Arabs remaking a lot of these OG colognes with the "illegal" ingredients....but who knows...
