brehs lets talk cologne game

[WIA20XX]

SOTD - Grab Bag edition - Burberry - Hero EDP

I don't really be in them fragrance streets like that, but I swear YSL Myself gets more hype than this, but this is better (they're not really the same type of scent, tho)

If I were to guess, I'd say the cologne market is 55/45 when it comes to Fresh and Clean (55)/Warm and Spicy (45).

Any of y’all ever had the other Stronger With Yous besides Intensely?

I fukks with Intensely, how are the others?

Tried SWY Absolutely, SWY Tobacco, and SWY Oud. I enjoyed them all.

How would you rank them in order, including Intensely?

I pretty much decided to chill on getting new colognes since I discovered LV

I’d be willing to cop more tho

Tobacco
Absolutely/Intensely (interchangeable b/c they're not vastly different).
Oud (I would have this higher since I'm an Oud lover but it plays it too safe)

Nothing wrong with that. Some people keep trying different houses, new flavor of the month and whatnot & some find a house they like & stick to it. If I pinned myself down to any 1 house, it would prolly be Tiziana Terenzi or Mindgames, with LV not too far behind. But I enjoy sampling too much to go that route @ this point.

As far as Mindgames, Checkmate was one of the 1st real bottles I bought dat cost a lil ticket, and I don't regret it. Aside from me being in luv with it (and that champagne note), Ive never not stepped on anywhere wit it on and not had no one say anything. Then Grand Master, Castling and Vieri....the latter of which depends on how you feel about Tea notes (another fav of mine).

As far as Tiziana:
Andromeda - Sweet and Tropical
Kirke - Juice cocktail type ish
Orion
Vele if you're a daring person & don't mind an....interesting open
Arrakis if you about that tobacco life at all.

Yupp. That's what they both are technically. And that's all MG drop as far as I know. Neither one do da flankers, variations, "Checkmate Intense" type ish far as I know.
