Just ordered these.




Got these 2 delivered today!

I got the 10ml sizes.
I wore Ascension....... :patrice:







I barely smell this shyt! :beli:

It smells ok
But sooo weak
Definitely a fresh sandalwood.

Don't really smell the notes listed:

BLUE LOTUS, PAPYRUS, FRESH EARTH, SANDALWOOD, FIG, HAITIAN VETIVER, BLACK PEPPER, BERGAMOT, WHITE SAGE, JAPANESE CEDAR, PEAR MUSK.

I see reviews like this supposed to be amazing.

That Crush On Me lotion you sent has had me in a chokehold for the past two weeks. Got me going back for other frag favorites from your site. Just made another order for some lotion and shea butter.

I have to be real...
This smells mid as fukk.
This smells stronger than the Ascension one but it smells like a better blended Avon fragrance.

All them positive reviews mad suspect. People were gushing over this 1 specifically.
Had to be some payola shyt.
I can at least smell this on me but it smells like not 1 noticeable note.


NOTES: TOBACCO, BERGAMOT, BLOOD ORANGE, BLACK PEPPER, PATCHOULI, PRIVATE MUSK BLEND, AMBER WOOD, OUD, LAVENDER, ARABIC COFFEE, FIREWOOD


I don't smell any tobacco, coffee, wood, lavender.

It does smell faintly smokey.


Highly disappointed considering the hype.

That Cubaknows dude on yt is where I heared of this.
I should have known better.
I hate that dude channel cause he so extra and goofy.

Both of these are fire and last long and projects!

The Grape Jewels one the best!

I have never smelled the original it is a dupe of to compare but this smells like grape soda.

I'm definitely going to order more from this house!

SN: what temp do y’all normally break out the fall/winter colognes?

I normally wait until under 70

90% of em, I just spray light when it's above 70.

Stuff like Oud for Greatness/Sauvage Elixir - it's gotta be 65 of less.

Speaking of Chemical Warfare, what are your most POWAFUL (IMPAK (c) Black Moon)... fragrances?

For me Longevity, projection, scent trail
  1. Oud for Greatness/Oud for Glory - oud, and not a designer oud
  2. Baccarat Rouge 540 - Cotton Candy
  3. Sauvage Elixir - Licorice
  4. Salt and Pepper - (Precious Liquids, shout out to CP Martini for the intel) Literally salt and pepper, like having putting your nose in a grinder while sitting by the sea.
  5. Bois Noir (Ebene Fume clone - from Dua - Smells like Christmas Mass
Too much for daily use.

Just Longevity
Tobacco and Tonka Bean and Dark Cherry and Amber - Both cheapies from Banana Republic - these last and last and last. So much so that I get tired of em.

I thought By The Fireplace was too strong....and then I stumbled across this shyt which I think translates into "By Satan's Firepit "

:whew: boy this shyt strong.

Another powerhouse that I'm scared to get a full bottle of is Kutay and pretty much all of the Unique'e scents

Crush On Me literally crushes any other fragrance in the vicinity

Oajan by PDM-Cinnamon, honey, and smells like apple pie.

Just copped the Ocean Bourbon & Dua Dude off the strength. You (and the reviews) have me intrigued :ehh:

Women love this shyt...they don't recognize it like Dior Sauvage but they can't get enough when I wear it
Is this a good Fall/Winter cologne?

Also, to the brehs, I've been out of the cologne game for awhile and was looking at Tom Ford...are they worth the price?

I own a couple of them. And I love them.

I would say they aren’t worth the price. But if you have coupons or discount codes, it makes it a lot better.

Don’t pay full retail price. And I would highly suggest getting samples or decants.

There’s no need to spend $200+ for a fragrance when you can spend 25% of that (or less) and get small bottles that could last you a year or two anyway.
