Damn you had my attention till you said no snow bunnies :stopitslime:

:camby:

What’s the exact bottle you got? :jbhmm

I looked it up and they have a bunch of different bottles, which is the bottle y’all got? :jbhmm:
I've only seen the 50ml , so that's the one I got.

So. Cal
Got a shipment of bunch of decants. Was able to test 6 of them.

Versace eros energy - if u looking for that aventus DNA, this is it. This is more citrus though. But dry down smells exact same.

Gucci guilty essence - meh. Fresh barber shop smell with a hint of green. Not for me

Jazz club (2013) by Mason Margiela - this is a diamond in the rough! Vanilla rum smell with tobacco lingering. Blended in so smooth that none of the notes do not stand out. U can literally smell them all at once. Gonna cop this.


Burberry hero - wow was i impressed. Only 3 notes listed but this is easily one of the smoothest blended woody smells with a clean twist. Definitely gonna cop this as well.


Spicebomb night vision - wish i can review this one but the smell vanished after 5 min. I even let my nose settle for 5 mins from others and still cant smell it with 2 sprays on skin. What a piece of shyt.


Born in Roma - I like it. But its because one of my favorite signature scents shares a similar DNA (Invictus). But this has a slight floral twist to it which kind of sperates itself from Invictus. Dont see me buying another cologne similar to what i already have at retail price. Still a nice cop for those who get it. Id accept it as a gift though and would wear it quite often

My sense is that the scene 2 x'd with the internet, and then 10x'd with Covid.

Cause prior to internet forums or YT reviews, the way I found out about new fragrances were them pages in GQ.

[Edit to add - Snoop Dogg as well. Put me on to Cool Water and then Le Male]

Otherwise, I'm down at Macy's trusting the old saleswoman to suggest a "panty dropper".
I've been seeing this thread bumped for years and finally decided to come in here and expand my pallette of culture cause I was on your wave. Try a few at the dept store, I like a smell, then rock with it. But curious to see what else is out there in the universe. But ain't no way I'm paying $100+ for a cologne...........the boy way too #HandsomeGang for all that............:scusthov:

When I looked it up there were different kinds, can you lank the bottle you bought? :jbhmm:

Better yet, is this it?


And how much did you pay for the 50 ml? Scent split got it for damn near $600 which is like double Creed prices :mjtf:

Speaking of, why is full bottles of LV like $200 more on micro perfumes than it is on the actual LV site? :dwillhuh:

I ordered the OG Dolce and Gabbana, bit doesn't smell like the original at all, I don't like that at all in my opinion

I don't get how a fragrance house from Dallas, that just started within the past 2-3 years can charge 400 bucks for a fragrance.

This is the other side of the fragrance influencer madness.

You got these super expensive no-name houses on the one hand, and then super cheap Arab stuff on the other hand.

Mind Games is a really good house...I'm surprised their based out of the US

Jazz club & the Valentino are some of my personal all time favorites. And that Burberry hero is nice as f*ck too :banderas:
