SOTD - Scents of Wood - Plum in Cognac



Scent - Super sweet, really good. I don't think it smells like plum or cognac, but whatever it is, it's popping.

Definitely put your nose on it. Solid 5mls, 10mls, possibly 100 mls
This gonna have to be one of my next samples. Plum scents haven’t let me down yet

SOTD - BVLGARI - Man in Black Essence

Spices, Rum, Flowers, Musk, Oriental Notes, Guaiac Wood, Resin

All the MIBs, to me, basically smell the same - and that smell is good. This is one of them joints that is only different side by side.

Still, I rocks with the DNA.

This is discontinued, so I would go looking for it, and even if it was still available, I wouldn't need more than 5 mls of the stuff.

Hey best summer fragrance? I’m not going over $200… any help from u aficionados would be great…

My favorites which are outside of your price Range - L'Immensite, Afternoon Swim, Virgin Island Water, Green Irish Tweed

Under 200 (usually way under) - I like these a lot, but not as much as above
  • Chanel - Bleu De Chanel - EDT, EDP, or the Exclusif - you can wear this year round, but it's good in the heat. I like the Exclusif the most. - Citrus up top, a bit of spice, and woods at the base.
  • Versace - Pour Homme - fresh
  • Versace - Eau Man Fraiche - fresh and lighter than pour homme.
  • D&G Light Blue - Italian Love - Grapefruit
  • D&G Light Blue - Forever - Grapefruit
  • Hermes - Terre de Hermes - Orange Zest
  • JPG - Le Beau - Coconut
  • Issey Miyake - L'eau de Issey - Yuzu - yeah the one from 1995, or the update from last year 2025 (an EDP) - it's still very good for the heat.
  • Armani - Acqua Di Gio EDP - Citrus and Aquatic Notes- the old school one is still good and avaialable, but the updated one is a bit stronger. (But the OG is watered down from what I can remember, I guess they stopped using the cancer causing ingredients in the recent ones, lol)
  • Armani - Profondo - Citrus and Sea Notes - They have like 5 different versions that pretty much smell the same, unless you have them side by side. Pick the cheap one.
    • I think Profondo Lights was the best one, but it's discontinued
All of these will be at Macy's/Dillard's, and some might be at Marshall's.

SOTD - Akro - Awake

Coffee scent, standard sweetness, perhaps a bit too much.

Random grab, but it seems like I rocked this rather recently.

This was in the discovery set, and I discovered that it's just okay.

2 mls

Tom Ford - Black Lacquer - definitely one of the more artistic joints since they got sold to L'oreal.

Smells just like the name, Woody, petroleum. Very masculine in the realm of cologne but I can't honestly say that it's more than that.

I'd be surprised if they made more than one batch of this. And 2 years from now folks are going to be "it was so good"/"GRAIL"

SOTD - Penhaligon's - Terrible Teddy

Incense, Leather, Ambroxan - comes off as a peppery leather to me.

As leather scents go, I'd say Ombre Leather is my avatar. It's more in that vein than it is a much weirder TF Tuscan Leather or hard to wear Zoologist Rhinoceros

I do think this is one that you buy for the bottle
