I received decants of Parfums de Marley Herod and Carlisle.
Herod's opening...that pepper hit me like a ton of bricks. It's just not for me. After a couple of minutes once it settled down, it became a lot better. Much smoother to me. The thing is, I'm not sure why I would choose this over Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille. There are better Tobacco scents out there. And maybe I'll try Amouage Royal Tobacco next. But considering I already like the Tom Ford, it's just searching for the sake of searching. Sometimes if you got shyt you already like, you're just wasting time and money looking for other shyt.
Carlisle is basically Herod without the tobacco and pepper. And sweeter. I like this more. I'm not sure why I feel like I smell leather. I didn't see any leather notes for it online. But I smell leather. It's a nice scent. It's just not amazing for me.
I could justify paying money for a full bottle of Layton, even though everyone hates on how popular it is. That to me is an amazing scent, legitimately. I couldn't really buy Carlisle or Herod without lying to myself about it being overpriced. I got these decants for under $20 because of gift cards and if you're interested in trying them out, that's close to what I think people should spend.
Just my opinion.

I got that Happiness Oud edp and although that shyt super strong on application, that mf last forever
At the $300 - I'd say these are the current kings of citrus in the "community".
- Louis Vuitton's Imagination and Afternoon Swim.
- Nishane Hacivat. It's thought of as an alternative to Aventus (much like Cedrat Boise), but I find it to be too beastly. All the other fragrances have average/below average performance. Not this one, in my not so humble opinion.
- Goldfield and Banks - Bohemian Lime - Big with the heads, I'd say this is one of the top 30 niche fragrances that cats need to put their nose on to keep up with the conversation.
- Phlur - Tangerine Boy - Literally smells like tangerine. A tad too sweet for me on a daily. But it's a good occasional joint.
At the $100
- Dolce and Gabanna - Light Blue Series - some are better than others, but the most recent joint is very popular (Summer Vibes). My favorite one is LB Forever. I also really like LB Italian Love.
- Acqua Di Parma - I swear the whole line is Italian Citrus, but they got some good ones for sure. I really like Colonia.
- Armani - Acqua di Gio Series - The EDT is the OG, but the EDP, Parfum, and Profondo are citrus + water notes. The Parfum has an incense at the backend of it.
- Hermes - Terre d'Hermes - I think most of the hermes designer stuff is citrus focused. The EDT is my fave.
- Nautica Voyage - more marine than citrus, but citrus
- Missioni Wave - Marine and Citrus.
- Versace Eau Fraiche/Pour Homme - great starter colognes but also great summer colognes.
What ever happened to that Soulja Boy cologne that all those YouTubers were hyping up out of nowhere?
I feel like it was all over social media last year. And it felt so phony. It just came to mind now for some reason.

thanks for the detailed recommendations
Anyone who hyped it last year is automatically bushes status as far as being followed or subscribed, I think.
It's was beyond obvious most if not all mentioning it were shilling it heavy.
It just comes out of nowhere and is getting airtime. They weren't buying the shyt, were getting it for free and having it in their top 10 lists on the regular.
Purely based on scent and not performance
From these ones I have tried, my favourite are
Xerjoff nio (best natural smelling citrus with green undertone)
Byredo bal d afrique (clean and fruity)
Creed erolfa (the best aquatic scent imo)
annick goutal eau d hadrien (the best bergamot scent)
Creed aventus
Is it a fresh scent
It's sacrilegious to leave out xerjoff nio in the $300 range, otherwise a great list
Fresh and sweet. Mildly spicy
