I have around $200 in Macys cash that I have to use because it expires.
I thought I could pair it with a 25-30% off coupon but that doesn’t apply to fragrances. As as much as I’d want another wristwatch, that’s more than I need now.
About to head over in a bit to sample stuff. I suppose I could get a 30ml or 50ml of Neroli Portofino if I like it. Maybe that Costa Azzurra or Beau de Jour.
If all else fails I’ll just get a small bottle of Tobacco Vanille and stash it until October. At least I know I love that fragrance.
Wound up with the Grey Vetiver parfum. Perhaps not the sexiest pick but it’s woody and fresh and citrus-y but more powerful.
Costa Azzurra I found to be weak.
Beau de Jour just wasn’t for me. This is what I would wear 20 years from now if I decide to go to church and wear way too much tacky gold jewelry and try to pick up single mothers who need a sugar daddy.
Costa wasn’t bad but that lemon scent just doesn’t hit like that. I feel like it wears off quick. It’s mild. Like if you’re gonna have your girl up on you, I can see this being good. It’s not a fragrance that announces itself.
Neroli Portofino is more distinct but it felt feminine to me. Reminded me of a nice laundry detergent. I mean it’s fine if you like that kind of thing. I’d say it’s way overrated considering the price. It’s the kind of fragrance I’d get a 2ml decant of to wear a few times just to test people’s reactions. A lot of people in this forum love these unisex scents though so maybe it’s just me.
Effing Fabulous smells like a sweeter Ombré Leather. I couldn’t really tell the difference tho.
Cherry Smoke - very clearly cherry. I have no idea what kind of man pulls this off. Frankly I’m afraid of the man who can pull this off.
Bitter Peach - this one I might revisit in the future. I could see myself liking it more if I had hours with it. It is woody but there’s something sweet about it. You know what it reminds me of? Like a good whiskey or rum or something. But sweet. It’s weird. I’m not good with notes and all that shyt so don’t judge me too bad.
The lady at the counter dumped a ton of Noir Extreme samples in the bag. And a few Soleil Blanc. So that was nice.
