Ok that’s some funny shyt.
Because earlier I tried to google the notes and I only saw a brief thing on Fragrantica. And it had like 4 notes.

You posted a way more detailed explanation

Chanel updated their site between now and this morning, plus most Fragrance heads didn't take Org Chem 1 and 2.

I haven't tried that one yet. The performance for Creed to me is subpar for the amount of money we are spending.

When I tell people I do not like Aventus, it's like they get mad offended, it's crazy

Me - I do not like Creed Aventus:francis:

Aventus fans - Aventus is a masterpiece

Just copped that stronger with you with the Rum & Cedarwood. It's straight 🔥! Been getting heavy compliments off of it. :ohlawd: . I've transitioned back to the $100-$175 bottles. The heavier perfume and extracts are a bit too overpowering and too musky to blind buy. I gave them to my lil bro lol

I got a bottle of SWY Absolutely.
I can’t wear it in August though.

Honestly Fall and Winter is the best time for colognes but it’s so hard to find time to wear everything. There are so many good fragrances, even the stuff you love…you might only get a chance to wear it a handful of times.

And I don’t even have that many.
Some of you guys have well over 100, 200 decants and bottles. If 75% of those are fall/winter you have stuff that you actually like that hasn’t been worn in probably 2 years.

Waiting for it to get cold to wear this one. Got it on sale last year and been waiting for the right temps to break it out.

BDC L’Exclusif…

I can’t explain it well because I don’t remember too much what the others smell like.

But I’m pretty sure this lacks the sweetness than the EDP/EDT probably have. Not a bad thing. Just …it’s not quite as casual.

The DNA is there in terms of being a Bleu de Chanel. I get the leather but it’s not like Ombré Leather. It blends in with whatever kind of resinous quality there is.

I mean look. I like it. I’m gonna wear it.

But I think you have to smell it yourself and make your own choice.

When you have a mainstream fragrance as big as Chanel, a lot of people are gonna hate and say it’s overrated or synthetic trash. I think that’s a lazy take.

Is it worth $200+?
I don’t regret my purchase. I’ll say that.

But we are a bunch of guys that recognize the value of decants so it’s hard for me to say to buy this one bottle when you can spend $230-250 and get 2ml samples of like 20 different fragrances.

Sorry this wasn’t more detailed in terms of notes or whatever

was about to come on here and asked if anyone smelt it yet. Gonna go to Macy's this weekend and get a spry or two on me and see what it does

already got Burberry Hero Parfum on the way after smelling it at Sephora a few weeks back.
