I need a fragrance sponsor to talk me out of this habit! :sadcam:

The girl I'm dating, perhaps soon to be GF at this rate, bought me Mind Games Grandmaster for my birthday.

I LOVE the dry down of it. She says she liked it more than Double Attack, which I still like. Still I think much of the mind games brand doesn't last that long on skin.
Prolly smelt it on another nikka :lolbron:
yo, I just tried Most Wanted Azzaro, seen yall shout it out before...amazing

TLR brehs, even if you don't like cologne you will like this, wow
Used to be quite cheap but now a 50ml bottle is the same price as a 100ml 2 years ago. 100ml was anywhere between £45-£55 now its £80 no less. Ridiculous
There are only two popular ones for guys, Jazz Club and By the Fireplace. At the barber gets some love. The rest don't get much attention.

Between Jazz and Fireplace, I prefer Jazz. But my feeling is that most people like the toasted marshmallow aroma of Fireplace
By The Fireplace smells like the candle section of a department store, just not as cloying but irritating nonetheless.

Got that shyt in

First off, it's not unseating The One 👑 for me in the D&G fam so let's get that out the way.

The hay note is strong as hell off rip but it settles down and is overtaken by the lavender hint eventually. Oddly enough, for something called Intenso, there's a bit of an aquatic smell to it somewhat ( but no wet 🐶 ). A little underrated powdery smell as well.

All in all, not as "intense" as I expected. shyt get real subtle after sitting for awhile. I wish the tobacco was maybe just a tick more prevalent. But aye, the missus is fukking wit it. Like real heavy, so they must be doing something right. I would've like to got my hands on the OG since I've seen so many say the Pour Homme is like 10x better.

I got tired of them real quick. They all open up weird.

What I have
  1. 28 Shades of Tabacum (Le Labo - Tabac 28)
  2. Bois Noir (Tom Ford - Ebene Fume)
  3. French Guiana
  4. Key Lime Pie
  5. Mango Flesh (Vilhelm - Mango Skin)
  6. Nomad Miami
  7. Plumlicious (Tom Ford - Plum Japonais)
  8. The Mobster (This one put them on the map)
  9. Tobac Aoud Attar (Tom Ford - Tobacco Oud Intense)
  10. Cherry Cigarillo
  11. Cherry Tabacum
  12. Spiritus Dei (Kilian - Single Malt - smells more like Plums than Whisky/Scotch)
  13. When in Killer Havana (Pure Malt + Pure Havane)
What I still wear from time to time
  1. 28 Shades of Tabacum (Tobacco used to roll up a some MJ, it's wet, maybe a bit stank?, not for freshmen, strictly live men)
  2. Nois Noir (Church!)
  3. Mango Flesh (it's a good strong sweet mango)
  4. The Mobster (the notes read Tobacco Vanille, but it smells like something else.
  5. When in Killer Havana - truth in advertising smells like Malt + Havane (Mugler)

tried a sample of Ralph Lauren Red...it was just ok imo, but we all have different taste

I didn't like the red, or the Ralph in the Blue bottle, maybe I'm just not a Ralph Lauren cologne dude, but I will keep an open mind and try samples

I literally bought a 100ml of Givenchy Gentleman Reserve Privee 3 hours ago.

:russ:

And I was about to cut through the airport lobby to get Dior Homme Intense* in Duty Free. I've never seen DHI in the Wild (or Reserve Prive)

I'm holding out until Black Friday for a 1-2 bottles, and another dozen or so samples.
How much was that DHI? What size?
I paid $143 for a 5oz.
On Fragrancenet

There isn't any Ralph Lauren I like!
They put out parfums that perform like EDTs and smell cheap.

The only major current designer brands I even like are Prada and Dior, and only certain ones.

So I got 4 gift cards for $25 each to use on fragrance net.

I was browsing this morning and I come to find out I can’t use more than 1 gift card at a time.

What kind of cowboy bullshyt is this?
