Some of these scents smell better in the store than when you get them home.

I bought a bottle of givenchy gentleman and it's OK. When I smelled it in the store, I was like I gotta get this!

Thats why i prefer unique scents that grow on you that dont smell good at first. When i first got into the Maison Margiela Replica series, i smelled them and was like :scusthov:


They just was not what i expected so my nose was confused as shyt. Fast forward to now, they are by far my most complimented colognes, women love them. When i wear Creed and some of the more expensive shyt that has a thousand dupes, i gets nothing

I didn't like MFK Gentle Fluidity Silver the first few times but I like it now. A friend gave me a decant of it to try

Maybe tobacco for the summer nights but definitely not the day. I wouldn't do ouds at all during the summer.

how about leather? what kinda scents you wear round this time of yr at night
Again maybe night but I would personaly stay away from leather, tobacco and ouds during the summer.

For summers I do aquatics, citruses, and ginger.

I always suspected this, but to hear someone else say it is:wow:

I paid enough for it, so I guess I gotta make it work:pachaha:

Eventually it should smell like the tester. It's not like it's a totally different formulation. Time and exposure to oxygen changes things up.

idk what scents to wear at summertime nights..is it valid to wear taboacoo and oud scents?

Tobacco - for sure. It just depends on the tobacco.
Oud is generally from middle east perfumery (as opposed to Western), and they wear it year round in the desert.

That said, anytime you wear something bold, everything else gotta be on point.

I feel you no doubt, it’s just I went through that a few months ago. Twice actually.

Now I find myself wanting to get the green spicebomb edp again after returning it.
Next time I see that, I'ma check it out.

I'm not as up on my cologne game as I should be. This is one of the best threads on this site
