We been talking about this a lot the past few days.

Old School - can be real cheap, or full retail, but I wouldn't spend more than 60

- Issey Miyake - L'eau d'Issey
Department Store
- Armani - Acqua Di Gio Profondo - Citrus and Marine - 100+

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Get the Decant and test it (my fave place is Perfuum, then Scent Split, then DecantX)
- Creed - Green Irish Tweed - fresh cut grass
- Creed - Virgin Island Water - coconut, lime
- Byredo - Gypsy Water - smells watery, that's how I describe it
What I been wearing lately.
#1 thing I rock in the heat -
Dr. Bronner's Soap - love that peppermint vibe after coming home from a hot day.
Colognes - all less than 100, none really popular.
- Tiffany and Co - Love For Him - this is so generic, I end up reaching for it, cause I got 100 mls to use up. It's Mandarin Orange, Ginger, and somethign else.
- Scotch and Porter - Badlands - very much in the blue vibe - grapefruit into incense into vetiver/oak/moss - so like Sauvage and Bleu de Chanel
- Scotch and Porter - Miami Duppy - sorta sweet
- Scotch and Porter - The Porter House - coconut, greens, vanilla
Summer Nights
- Dinner with friends/colleagues
- Scotch and Porter - Miami Duppy
- Armani - Stronger with you Freeze - an icy chestnut....hard to describe.
- Clubbing
- Something with Tobacco in it - Rich Warm Addictive by Zara, Royal Tobacco by Amourage, Habanos by Royal Crown, Tabac 28 by Le Labo
- 1st Date(i.e. I aint get them draws) -
- Smokeby Akro - I get backyard bbq, but I think officially it's supposed to be cigarretes.
- As far as I can tell, this has not been a deciding factor in any hooking up. I just like the mood it puts *me* in.
- Date Night - I been had them draws, we just vibing - Whatever I'm feeling at the moment
Currently testing
- LV Imagination and Afternoon Swim - these both might be 100% citrus, but it's like 100% rind.
- Goldfield and Banks - Pacific Rock Moss (I got Bohemian lime, it's nice, don't know if I'd invest in a full bottle)
Bushes/not for me/but a lot of people have in summer lists.
- Vilhelm - Mango Skin - too much mango
- Strangers Parfumerie - Salted Green Mango - not enough...
- Polo Black - Coffee and Mango - smh
- Creed - Silver Mountain Water - It smells like water, but also smells metallic - I don't like metallic.
- Nishane - Wu Long Cha - Tea - Le Labo's Noir 29 smells like tea, this not so much.
- Nishane - Fan your Flames - Coconut and Rum - Might have to bring this one out of storage, but I don't remember liking it enough to wear more than once or twice.
- Nishane - Hacivat - allegedly an Aventus clone - not the biggest fan of Aventus
- D&G - Light Blue - any of them. They're all made for summer. Grapefruit too strong for me.
- PDM - Sedley and Greenley - I have not had interest in checking these out at all. But very popular.
- Chanel - Allure Homme Sport Eau Extreme - A creamy minty smelling thing that I don't like at all. I don't the mint in Versace Eros. I do like it in Dr. Bronner's though.
- MFK - Gentle Fluidity Silver - see above, very popular
- Tom Ford - Neroli Portofino - I have no idea. I see Tom Ford and my credit score goes down.
Which is funny because even if they're unisex, the scents are still good, so I don't get the big deal about, but what can you do.
