brehs lets talk cologne game

SOTD-Roja- Isola Blu

One of my summer MVPs. I love this stuff.

I have this and loved it when I bought it.

But I took it with me to DR last year and maybe it was the high Caribbean heat or maybe I sprayed too much but it was overpowering my nose like a MF.

I haven’t worn it since. But I might give it a shot tomorrow.

See I feel this way about Oceania and I got them mixed up one time (Isola Blu used to be Oligarch and I got it mixed up with Oceania). I over sprayed and something in it was really off putting to me. Almost swore it off.

its probably for the best that nowhere around me has penhaligons on hand. i really want to see what their new one is about

just picked up that Cremo Golden Amber bodywash, it smells exactly like Creed Aventus

i think aventus is overrated as a cologne, but this is exactly what i was looking for in a bodywash might be my regular for years

I have zero penhaligons

Every time I think about getting a decant I talk myself out of it. Somehow I imagine their fragrances are pretentious and old man stuff. Like the colognes I remember my elders wearing to church in the 80s.

Of course I’m ignorant about em but that’s the feeling I get.

they really make you dig around to make your best guess on what these shyts smell like too, if you're not in the uk or nyc. any sample costs you otherwise. gotta pay to spray,

anyway nautica dropped voyage intense on amazon. intense but it's an edt. i'm still a newb breh how does that work...

EDT means Eau De Toilette, and it's just a lower oil concentration than EDP = Eau de Parfum, but higher than Eau de Cologne.

Intense - the "intense" versions of anything, usually mean changing the notes.

So regular orange gets traded in for bitter orange.
Regular lemon gets swapped for Citron or Bergamot.
Tobacco Blossom -> Tobacco Leaf.

I got some email earlier about Fragrancebuy.ca having some American sister website?

Something about Fragflex.
Not sure what the deal is there.

Got the same email, I guess they're trying to dodge tariffs. Not sure how it works if they've got the stock in CA...
