brehs lets talk cologne game
- Thread starter KOOL-AID
- Start date
They get a lot of undeserved hate but they have some absolute fire and some not so much. I know people say it all the time but you really have to let them sit for a while.
-Zest of Casino Elixir (Mugler-Ultra Zest )
-Sunlight Lovers (LV-LVers)
-Acqua Bravata Cologne Attar (MFK-Aqua Universalis Forte loved this one but it went sour of after about a year and smelled like cat piss)
-Cologne Of Whiskey Reserve (I think this is a Bath and Body Works scent Whiskey Reserve that they made their own)
-Creamy Coffee Abode (OG great for cool fall mornings)
-Creamy Blend Of Walnuts (OG)
-Drowning in Vanilla (Alexandria's- H'Ani is better )
-Grape Cigarello (one of my favorite OGs and scents from them. Top 5)
-Gone Swimming in Caribbean Waters (LV-Afternoon Swim and LV-VIW hybrid)
-Gone Swimming with Beachvibes (LV-Afternoon Swim and LV-On The Beach hybrid)
A few others I'm forgetting but those are just the ones off the top of my head.
2026 been slow, if you ask me. These are the designer freshies that have gotten some love. (I don't really pay attention to the Arab/Clone scene)
- Le Male in Blue
- Y Iced Cologne
- Luna Ross Carbon
- Acqua di Gio EDP Intense
- Polo 67 EDP Extreme
- D&G Light Blue EDP
I lean more into the niche frags or indy clone houses but for me it hasn't changed too much from last year.

Do you mind describing the one's you tried?
don't know if y'all slum in burlington like me but ...if you see (sotd) montblanc explorer platinum Id grab it. a dollar a mil and it's putting in work. its in the general category scent wise with platinum egoiste. But with more staying power
