brehs lets talk cologne game

[WIA20XX]

Any good summer fragrances that have came out in the last two years. I have a super deep collection but not looking for a niche fragrance. Just something that aint thick smelling like a old ass man

Good is relative. Popular though...

2025

• Acqua di Giò - Elixir
• Terre d'Hermès Hermès - Eau de Parfum Intense
• Le Beau - Flower Edition

2024

• Perseus
• Le Beau - Paradise Garden
• Eros - Energy
• LV Lovers
• Le Mâle - Lover
• Acqua di Giò - Profondo EDP 2024

With the exception of Perseus and LV Lovers, these should be all at the local mall to check out. Perseus and LV Lovers will prolly be at Nordstrom's or any of the better department stores.

Otherwise, get a decant.

Cumin is a tricky note. In Wanted by Night (Azzaro), it’s subtle, just enough to add a sensual twist in the dry down.
In Signature Royale X, it’s a disaster. Overdone to the point it hijacks the whole profile. goes from upscale soapy-musk to straight-up musty.

Cumin is a dangerous note. Depending on skin chemistry it can come off across like bad body order. Smelling like an Indian trying to sell you fake jewelry at the middle of the mall.

Jomashop got the 1/3 oz for $30 which is still type expensive but a nice size to sample to see if you want a full bottle

Didn’t see them on the decant sites I normally look at

My Jomashop cart got over $500 and DX got $360. Plus I want to cop that Meteore secant which is like $50 plus a few other LV I want to check out. Buying cologne get kinda pricey when you get into it

Has anybody smelled Drakar Bleu? I heard its a lot an adult version ysl y.

Layered D&G Light Blue Eau de Intense with Mancera Cedrat Boise...this lady blurted out when I walked past her "and he smells good too"

I never layered colognes I had thought about it but now I really gotta try it!

SOTD - Afnan Supremacy: Collector's Edition

I've seen a cpl brehs on here talk about this one, & Afnan as a whole, and I'm prolly gonna go ahead & board the train on this one

That open is smoother & juicer than Bria Myles circa mid 00s

Kinda like removing the initial smokiness from you know what (though both work for diff reasons), and just coming a lil bit more refined with it.

I like the coconut in the virgin island water, but I dislike the longevity of the perfume

Thats the knock off of Aventus Absolu. Definitely a banger
