Best Cologne?

[Rekkapryde]

Yea we keep it ethically sourced.... we have a relationship with the sisters over there. We pay them more fair market price. These Arabs are fleecing them and I mean it’s $5 and lasts what? Actually less then that with Coli discount thats like $4.45

A month a bar

def appreciate the support.


Cats would be surprised that your favorite Black owned company buy from the Arabs and Chinese who give two cents about the sisters (the ones who do all the work there)

the site I used to goto
Project Ghana

they stopped selling a couple of years ago. Dunno who owns the company. Think it's cacs since makeup is their primary shyt.

Fam. It should be criminal how many 'Black' owned businesses are really not owned and sourced by Black people. Im thankful Ive been able to maneuver in this industry and keep things ethically sourced. Our manufacturer plant we use is white but I do know them and they are decent folks. There are not any factories owned by Blacks. If I was younger Id push and expand to that level. At this point, we have carved out a nice space, we keep eating into these big oil companies bottom line, but its really because as people see technology change we are able to reproduce fragrances that are better then the original and literally 1/400th of the cost.

Think movie popcorn. You know what you pay $15 for is really .04 worth of popcorn. Same.

Its crazy....

Have a couple of other products we are working on from Ghana, but maybe Q3 hopefully Covid slows down.

I feel ya. But your shyt is exactly like the stuff I used to get from there. Will definitely be ordering more when I get low.


I make my own cologne as far as thread topic. Everclear, cedarwood drops, and some Egyptian Oils I bought when I went to Egypt (Aton and some other shyt) is what I put in mine.

Yea I try and stay out of these types of conversations, we sell ton of Tom Fords, Creed and Bonds. For me that is almost just regular now. That being said, they have a couple that are think that are worth their weight in gold. Creed new Aventus 10th anniversary is mean, Tom Ford Bitter Peach is official, Bond #9 has a couple nice ones....


Personally I like for someone to ask me what Im wearing and they look at me like I never even heard of that ...

My favorite houses right now

PDM
Byrons Parfums
Xergoff
Mancera
Amouage

You can find signature joints that 95% of people will have no idea what you are talking about but will be fire.

Peace. One is a raw Black Soap we get from Ghana, the other is a boxed soap, with other ingredients, like Coco and Shea, check the descriptions on both. Essentially the raw one is 100% natural.


Appreciate my brother... I got you on the Rep

Anybody here want some new fire grab the Oajan from PDM, that Mula mula Extreme The Chronic, and Black Dragon have all been my FL winter heat....

Personally I dont like smelling like others so I very rarely wear anything from Main Street. Once in a few a couple designers come up with a formula that I love but they produce for the masses and by now I kinda know what that smells like....







Fam almost everything worth purchasing now is unisex, fragrances houses now understand the margins and the broader audience. Most unisex fragrances lean masculine because women love men type fragrances. They have moved away from traditional women fragrances.

I need to check out the Black Dragon. I like the note breakdown on that one. I broke the seal on Straight From Heaven last night and that is probably my favorite from Killian. Bravo.

 

[Primetime21]

Anybody checked out Chris Collins? Brother that used to model for Ralph Lauren. I received a few samples for christmas; Danse Sauvage, Harlem Nights, Sweetest Taboo. Really not bad but I get the sense they probably fair better during the cold months.

@BronxBomber when y’all getting some more Sauvage parfum?

It’s a small house and it has a Kilian type feel to many of his fragrances. Especially Black Dragon, think Black Phantom but a little less dense...

I’m thinking of doing a bundle deal with all of his joints.

Every single one has been a BIG seller.... I was going to list them in order but they are all neck and neck.

@BronxBomber when y’all getting some more Sauvage parfum?

My fault fam, we were out and we produced more and came back in last week. Never flipped the switch. It’s back in stock now


So as I was mentioning earlier there are a few regular designers that I’ll rock this is one. The original is nice but too regular, this one is nice for me on some casual tip. This will have younger chicks on ya zipper

 

[Heavy_Handz]

Mont Blanc Legend is my go to cologne. I have several others from Mont Blanc that I like but Legend is the best that I’ve ever picked up.

 

[Hoodoo Child]

-Gucci Guilty is an excellent choice. I wear this (perfume) frequently.
-Tom Ford, Black Orchid (Favorite)
-Chanel, Bleu

Throwbacks - Lacoste, Sean Jean Irresistible, & CK's Eternity

(FYI - There's a huge fragrance/cologne thread on here somewhere w/great suggestions.)

Try scentbird.com to try trial sized designer fragrances before purchasing.

Man listen

Stock up on the lotions from your favorite colognes. I have several I use on my lower region when I'm anticipating some cutty.
